Upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite breaks Active Directory. Is there a fix / work-around?

I work for an organization that uses Active Directory (Windows Server 2008, I believe) for user account management and also for managing printer shares. Until Yosemite, OS X worked brilliantly with AD and our user accounts and machines were bound easily and reliably. When any user upgrades to Yosemite, the process occurs without a hitch except that AD connectivity breaks.
The color indicator for Network Account Server in Users & Groups is green, indicating that believes the connection to the directory server is OK. If you select "Edit" for the directory configuration - everything looks as it did before. However, if one attempts to access the Active Directory tree using Directory Utility it displays the error "Connection failed to node '/Active Directory/COMPANY/All Domains'. If one uses the command line utility 'dscl' to attempt to list AD entries, you also get errors:
> ls Active\ Directory/COMPANY
All Domains
> ls Active\ Directory/COMPANY/All\ Domains
ls: Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)
If I go to add a printer, I can no longer retrieve the printer list from the domain.
I have checked, and there DNS search domains are correctly configured and fully configured properly on all the computers involved. They can all ping the AD servers, and if I used dig to check for SRV records for LDAP (_ldap._tcp.directory.company.com), they are correct.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on? What's changed and how to fix it?

We spent over a month trying to find a fix for this issue, and even your fix didn't work.
Same as you we have forest AD.LOCAL and domain as domain.com.
We are sure the DNS settings are fine, the green light is on and it even authenticate as it said my password will expire in X days. But it never pass the loading login screen.
Can anyone assist please?
Thanks.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

Can't enable Device Manager after upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite

We have an Apple Mac Mini Server that was purchased and configured with OS X 10.9. This was configured as part of a golden triangle, managing 10 Apple Mac Minis in a Microsoft Active Directory environment. We had enabled Profile Manager and configured Device Manager.
We recently upgraded to Yosemite, and upgraded Server.app to 4.0.3. Device Manager is now disabled, can when we try and configure it, we get 'An error with code -1 occurred'. We have tried resetting the Device Manager configuration, but this hasn't fixed the issue.
Any suggestions?

Wifi issues after upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite. No solutions have worked.

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 from Mavericks. Having wifi issue where I can't connect to my home network. It connects for 5 seconds than I get "no IP address", and then the connection drops. A free local wifi connection does work. Any ideas until this issue is fixed by Apple? My home router worked fine in Maverick. I tried all the online suggestions but nothing has worked. Have not downgraded yet to Maverick but thinking about it.

How do I upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite?

No matter what I do I seem to be going in circles. When I upgraded from OS X 10.6 to Mavericks it went smoothly. I have had no problems using Mavericks since that upgrade. I can't even get to the upgrade for Yosemite.
Help!
Thanks,
-Joe

I had, up to now, barely used the App Store for anything. I have continued to work on it and found the "key" to the App store. I have Yosemite and will install it today.
Thanks to those who tried to help me out with very little to to go on in my poorly worded question.

Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?
Thanks

Just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite and now only one of my two iPhoto libraries seems to be available. Please help.

I have just updated my iMac from Mavericks 10.9.5 to Yosemite 10.10.3.
I had two different libraries in iPhoto due to the amount of photos stored. In iPhoto I was able to click on File
and could select to Switch between either of the libraries.
Now in Photos on Yosemite it initially asked me which library and now that is the only library available to me.
When I go into my Pictures folder in the Finder it does not show my other Library.
I had about 60,000 photos stored in that library and now I can no longer find or access.
Please help. Thanks so much.

Should I upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite or go for a new install of Yosemite?

I just asked this, got an answer, but it shows as restricted. I can't access my question, so I'll repost. Dammit!
Macbook Pro 15.4” Retina, October 2012, 500g, 8g RAM.  In anticipation of the release of Yosemite, I have been ready to back everything up, screenshot all of my apps, print them so I can pick and choose after the install from where I have acquired everything. I am on a business scenario, not a typical home user. I use five external hard drives, so I can get it sussed.
  I am a Windows convert, I still Bootcamp Win 7 because of some Sony video software I need to use for business. Upper end Photoshop user. I will be installing Final Cut Pro X as a replacement for the video apps when everything settles. I have researched and see that my BluRay production will take a hit because I will have a learning curve and there seems to be a bug with Final Cut Pro X and BluRay production. I'm sure it will be resolved by the time I am ready to switch. No biggy. I will be cutting the Microsoft cord when that takes place. I'm just giddy over it. Seriously.  
What I want to know, and this is a very noob question, is, I want to erase and format my hard drive to accept Yosemite when it hits the release date. I want to go with a clean install rather than an update.
 To all of you seasoned and dyed in the wool Apple people, if you were two years into Apple as I am, would you install Yosemite, when it is released, as a stand-alone, fresh install instead an update install? I know it will wipe everything, but I want to build from the ground up as an OS install. Start over, as it sounds.
 Do you people think it an imprudent act to wipe everything and start over or a better idea to update with the Yosemite release over/on top of Mavericks?  I know there will be bugs. I dealt with the Mail bug in Mavericks, then they fixed it. I know there will be issues, there always are.  
Does it even matter?
 Thanks for your attention and for looking, 
Kelly J.

I had thought the fall release of Yosemite would be a release candidate (baked.) Am I wrong? I know it's hard to know.
Through my years as a Windows user, I always waited at least a year after their OS releases before jumping on them.
There is no good answer anymore. All of the responses you have had in this thread are excellent. But Apple keeps changing the plan. I say wait until the 2nd minor release of Yosemite. The first 10.10.1 will be a bug fix release, probably within 3 weeks. The second will be a security update two weeks later. That is the point where it will probably be safe to install. You'll have a good 8 months of usage before having to worry about upgrading again. Also, this strategy applies to all releases, not just major ones. Apple doesn't do "bug fixes" like you may have been used to in the past. Builds 10.10.1, 10.10.2, etc. will be designed not to break any public interfaces, but that is as far as it goes. Otherwise, Apple is liable to change anything. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" simply doesn't apply anymore. Wait a week or two after each incremental update to see if there are big changes. Since you are a heavy Photoshop user, always check the Adobe forums before updating the OS.

Upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite fails (RAID1)

I bought a Mac Mini (i5, 2013) from Amazon and replaced the stock hard disk with 2x 1TB WD Red Series drives.
I re-installed OSX via internet recovery, everything went smoothly.
When Yosemite was released my mac tried to download and install it.
After a reboot, it goes in a crash loop. It will try to load the installer, crash, reboot, and repeat.
I assume this is because Yosemite isn't aware of the RAID1 drives that are set up, and I can go back to Mavericks holding ALT and selecting 10.9.5 again.
Is there some way I can get this to work without modifying my configuration?
Everything on Mavericks works flawlessly but it just won't upgrade.

I'm not sure which of the prior steps I took fixed things, but after writing the last post I tried to boot to safe mode one last time and succeeded.
After booting to safe mode and allowing the Mavericks installation to complete restarted the Mini. I had to restart with Cmd-Ctrl-Eject because none of the menus were working in safe mode.
Anyways, maverics booted up fine after that point.
If anyone runs into this I would follow the instructions This update is causing my Mac Mini (2011) to reboot into a grey screen. Time Machine restore is required through step 6 then try to boot back into safe mode.

Upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite and am stuck in a registration loop.

I am on a 19" iMac (late 2009) and each time I get to the end of the registration process, I am asked to do it all over again. Any suggestions appreciated.

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
You cannot install Windows using a Dell specific installer disc. You need a retail copy of Windows.

Upgrade external HD from Mavericks to Yosemite

Hi,
On my MBP I have installed Mavericks 10.9.5.
Then I have a couple of external hard drive with a clone of Mavericks 10.9.5.
If I have a cloned hard drive plugged in (not booting off from it), and I run the installer of Yosemite and I tell to install Yosetime on the external hard drive (where there’s a clone of Mavericks 10.9.5) what would then happen.
Would Yosemite erase everything from the clone, or would the clone upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite, else?
Thanks

No, the Yosemite install will not erase everything on the clone.
Yes, the clone would upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite. All your apps and data will not be touched.
I actually did something similar onto an SD card. I installed Yosemite 10.10, apps and data. Then later, I ran the 10.10.1 installer against the SD card and all that happened was Yosemite updated from 10.10 to 10.10.1. Nothing else was touched.

Yosemite Upgrade from Maverick Fails

Recently attempted to upgrade my MacBook Pro 17" w/Retina from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite. All components downloaded successfully and MacBook Pro was then restarted.
Upon power up, I'm presented with the grey Apple screen, and then immediately I see tiny Linux script fill the upper-left portion of the screen. The screen clears too quickly for me to read the text, and it takes me to the "Your computer failed to start properly, please press a button or wait a few seconds for your computer to restart" screen. Restart, or even powering down and restarting does not resolve this issue.
Rebooted into Recovery mode (Power button, then hold CMD-R until Apple appears), and launched the Repair utility. I verified permissions, and noted several problems. I repaired permissions. I then ran Verify Disk, and it found several errors and corruption. I ran Repair Disk, which repaired and verified the repairs were successful.
Restarted my machine...same gray screen and error loop as before.
I again booted into Recovery mode and selected "Reinstall OS X". This loaded a clean copy of OS X Mavericks.
Macbook Pro now starts as before the upgrade.
Opened App Store and download OS X Yosemite again.
OS X Yosemite downloaded, and installer launched.
Installer runs (very quickly now), and system is restarted.
SAME PROBLEM.
Back to Recovery Mode
Restored to OS X Mavericks.
Any ideas?

the upgrade path from mavericks to yosemiti works, but it permanently screws up users and permissions - so any app with a database or files you can't use. complete and utter waste of time.
poorly packaged upgrade that it changes your user name for reasons only known to apple - it is free after all!!
It sounds like something was not quite right with your Mavericks system before you tried to upgrade. I have a spare HD that I use as a guinea pig for new OS versions. This drive had Mavericks on it and a few apps (Little Snitch, Firefox, Pages, Pixelmator, CCC, Super Duper, Disk Warrior, etc.). Last night I installed Yosemite without any issues. No problems with permissions, and it certainly didn't arbitrarily change my user name. I was pleasantly surprised at how painless the process was. Internet settings worked fine, associated updates worked as expected, mouse settings were retained, etc.
However, there is no way that I can stomach using the wretched mess that is iTunes 12, except perhaps for syncing an iOS 8 device at some point in the future. What's been done with iTunes will keep me using Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion and iTunes 10.7 to manage my music collection.
