User Home Directory not being created when "Create Home Now" button hit...

This is a cross post, since I was not sure where this should end up since it touches two pieces- Open Directory and User Management. Any help would be appreciated!
I am running OS X Server 10.5. All of my user accounts have been migrated over along with their home directories. Problem is that when creating new users and then assiging a home directory the system does not actually create the directory.
Currently all users are setup to have their home directory setup here:
afp://172.16.110.100/Users/'username'. The Users folder has been setup to automount, and all users that have folders can be accessed without issue.
The problem is when I create a new user, select the aft://172.16.110.100/Users option and then select "Create Home Now" button and save as it requests... it does not create the directories.
I have even tried to change the Home patch to make it local to see if it was an network issue, and used the /Users choice and it will not create the directory in that way either- both location go to the same place.
The system was obviously able to create the local admin account and directory admin account home folders without issue when the system was installed.
The permissions for the "Users" folder are as follow:
directory admin = Read and Write
local admin= Read and Write
system user (root)= Read and Write
admin group= Read Only
everyone group= Read Only
The system is in production, so any kind of server resets need to be done after 5pm, so I have not been able to reset AFP service.
Currently the only services running are AFP, SMB and Open Directory.
All users have their entire home directories located on the server, and login over Directory Access on their clients, so all user accounts are stored on the server. No one is having issues accessing their files or logging in.
I just can not create new home directories when I create new accounts.

You do not have to be logged on as the root user to do this. Launch the terminal and type-
sudo createhomedir -a
I run an XServe with Tiger server ( 10.4.11) and this has been the workaround I have been using.
Good luck.

Price is not being updated when creating a sales order using DTW oOrders

Hello experts,
When I create a sales Order using DTW (oOrders), the information in the input files document.csv and document_lines.csv is updated with no problem, except the price. The price is being ignored from the input files.
Is there something that I must considered when trying to update the price of a sales order using the DTW?
The field "price" was mapped in the source and target fields in DTW.
Here is the document_lines.csv
RecordKey,LineNum,AccountCode,Address,ItemCode,LineTotal,Price,Quantity,ShipDate,WarehouseCode,TaxCode
RecordKey,LineNum,AccountCode,Address,ItemCode,LineTotal,Price,Quantity,ShipDate,WarehouseCode,TaxCode

Test Note (Documentation Type) when creating Test Plan

Hi Gurus.
After we upgraded our SolMan 7.0 system from Support Pack (ST component ) level 19 to level 25, I noticed this new field "Test Note" (Dcoumentation Type) when creating a Test Plan in transaction STWB_2.
Initially, when I haven't chosen any project yet, this field has a list-of-values (i.e. Test Case Note, iTutor Document) but when I choose a project, the list-of-values only showing "ST". I also tried choosing another project and there is no value in the list.
Does anyone know where this list is coming from or how I can configure this?
It looks like project-related and but I couldn't find any settings for this.
Can this field be turned off so it will not show in the screen?
Thanks,
Tess

Hi Tess,
The documentation type ST is the standard documentation type for test notes.
Test notes are needed by testers to document results in detail during/after testing a test case.
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN there is the text menu 'GOTO - Project Template - Implementation Projects'
and then there to the tap 'Documentation Types' to do the default settings for 'ST' for all implementation projects.
Otherwise you'll have to change settings in the administration for each project!
There you can assign your own documentation template for ST in the central settings.
If you are using other project types for testing you'll have to do the same for each project type.

Adelbert

Field not set: ParentEPSObjectId when creating Project.

Hi everyone,
I'm developing .net application and getting data from primavera by using p6 web service. At the moment I stuck on project creation. I'm using following code to create a new project:
Public Function CreateOneProject(pProjectName As String, pProjectId As String, pParentEpsObjectId As Integer, pPlannedStart As Date, pPlannedFinish As Date, pParentOBSObjectId As Integer) As Integer
     Dim vNewProject As Project()
     vNewProject = New Project(0) {}
     Dim vProject As New Project()
     vProject.Name = pProjectName
     vProject.Id = pProjectId
     vProject.ParentEPSObjectId = pParentEpsObjectId
     vProject.StartDate = pPlannedStart
     vProject.FinishDate = pPlannedFinish
     vProject.OBSObjectId = pParentOBSObjectId
     vNewProject(0) = vProject
     Dim retVal As Integer() = gProjectService.CreateProjects(vNewProject)
     Return retVal(0)
End Function
And getting error message: Field not set:ParentEPSObjectId when creating Project.
EPS Object ID i'm selecting from lookup. In this lookup datasource I have following fields from ReadEPS: ObjectId, Name, Id, ParentObjectID.
As I understood, I should to get ObjectID of selected EPS and to set as parameter in CreateOneProject function. But it's not working.
Could someone help me?
Best regards,
Dmitrij

I found what was the problem.
Did not specify following field: ParentEPSObjectIdSpecified = true. With this field I can save.

Were the VISA and MasterCard issued to you by a bank in the country where you reside and do they have a verifiable billing address in the same country?
Or are these debit cards that you bought in a local store. Apple does not accept debit cards that you bought.

My last Time Machine back-up is 45 days old and only of User Account files (not entire HD) and I must now reinstall Lion (via internet) without performing a new back-up. Will any new User Account files, since my last back-up, be lost when Lion reinstalls ?

Reinstalling OS X doesn't affect user data, provided nothing goes wrong. But it would be very unwise to assume that nothing will go wrong, especially if you're having (unspecified) system issues. You should try to back up all data before you reinstall or do anything else. There are ways to do that, even if you're unable to boot.
If your backups include only user files, you won't be able to access them in Setup Assistant.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

Home Directory not mounted in Active Directory environment

I am trying to integrate a PowerMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.2 into an Active Directory. The Mac is bound to the AD without any problems. I can authenticate with my AD account and I also see the printers. However, I have problems using the network home directories.
If I activate "Force local home directory on startup disk" everything works as expected: The user logs in and gets a local home directory under /Users and can mount its network home directory with the finder without the need to authenticate again, so the single-sign-on works.
However, that's not what I want - I want the user to work solely in his networked home directory, not on the local disk. So I deactivate the button "Force local home directory on startup disk", but now the mount of the home directory fails. In the system.log I see the following:
/usr/libexec/mount_url[123]: smb_mount: open session failed!: syserr = Broken pipe
This is printed several times. If I try to access to automounted home directory under /Network/Servers/SERVER/USER in the terminal I also get "Broken pipe".
The strange thing: I can access the home directory with smbclient, I can also mount it with mount_smbfs, but if I try it with /usr/libexec/mount_url it fails although I use the exact same server and user directory.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

We have a similar issue here. Only the first AD User after reboot can login and the second one gets the same error as you. (see also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6418268)
It looks like there is a problem with the automounter. I set the AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT to 60 seconds in /etc/autofs.conf, then after logout of the first user and waiting for 1 minute, the second user can log in.
