Users home folders not accessible on SMB, OS X 10.6.4

Hello,
I'm facing this very weird problem upon trying to connect my Windows XP SP3 clients to their respective home folders on Mac OS X Server 10.6.4.
The other shares and public folders however work just fine.
So, upon connecting to the home folder of the user from Windows, (on \\serverIP\username\ ) I keep getting the authentication login form as if I'm typing the wrong username or password.
Of course the user's password is correct.
Oddly enough I can connect and see all the users shares if I go on My Computer and type \\serverIP\ and then enter username and password. I can access the "Users" share and even see other users documents and files!
It used to work very well before a server restart last night, I decided to update to 10.6.4 to see if the problem would go away but no luck.
In the SMB service log I see the following everytime I try to connect directly to the users home folders:
[2010/06/23 14:29:14, 0, pid=2834] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.4/samba/source/smbd/service.c:makeconnectionsnum(1047)
'/Network/Servers/macmini-server.solinf.org/Users/silvia' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [silvia] Error was Host is down
What puzzles me is that if I navigate from shell to /Network/Servers/macmini-server.solinf.org/ I find an alias called "users" that I cannot access.
Anyone has any ideas what is causing this direct access to fail?
Thanks in advance

Can't add users' home folders to Windows Libraries - "unindexed network location" error

I am unable to add our users' home folders to their Windows Libraries on client PCs. Windows is giving an unindexed network location error.
This worked perfectly fine in WHS 2011, but is failing on WSE 2012 R2 Essentials.
I've checked the indexing settings on the server, and the correct locations are in fact being indexed.
Since several of our clients have limited local storage, I can't solve this by turning on Offline Files.
Is this behavior by design, or am I seeing a bug?
I'm guessing that on WHS 2011 the user folders are special-cased somehow, as normally one would need to include the share root in a library for federated indexing to work correctly. What is it about WHS 2011 that makes this work, and is it possible
to replicate these settings on our WSE 2012 R2 server?
Thank you.

No, our clients are not domain joined.
To clarify, I'm not trying to redirect local folders, but rather to add the (automatically provisioned) user folder on the server to local libraries. Federated search does support this scenario in WHS, so I assume it should work in WSE.
Trying to understand why I'm seeing the error. Thanks.

10.6 server on w2k AD domain, trouble making new user home folders

i recently starting working as a public school which has over 800 macs, both intel and ppc, laptops and desktops. there are also 300 windows machines as well. my job is to create the new user accounts for the students and staff as well as perform routine maintenance on the computers/servers. there are 3 xserves (intel) running 10.6.8 and 3 windows boxes running 2000 server. (i know thats old but it was top of the line when the building was build in 2002) the windows machines perform the user authentication via active directory and the xserves house the home folders stored on an xserve raid. the problem i am having it that i cannot create the new home folders for the incoming students on the xserve. the accounts are created in AD with no problems, and everything points to where it should be. however, when i try to manually create them (either by createhomedir in terminal, or by a script one of the previous system admins made) nothing happens. both active directory and open directory are up and running and all the servers seem to be talking to each other. on a side note, if i deleted an existing home folder and than ran the terminal command, it creates it perfectly. in one last attempt i re-bound all the mac servers to the AD and now it wont even let me re-create an existing home folder. anyone have any thoughts or ideas?? i have about a month left to get this fixed and all the computers imaged with the new config. i'd rather not have to re-build the AD domain but if it comes down to it, i may not have any choice.

sorry i havent posted back sooner. i tried server cleanup and it did seem to fix other minor issues with the server, and it mapped the correct path to the user home folders. but it won't let me fix the permissions. when a student logs in to a client machine their home folder window opens up and all the folders are there but it won't let you open them stating that "you do not have the correct permissions" i ran fix permissions in server cleanup a few times, but it didnt fix the situation. also, i noticed that when i tell SC to look at the active directory domain, i get an error window and it stops loading users after the C's (alphabetical by last name) could this be because the AD domain is windows 2000 server? i just got 2 win2003 server machines freed up that i could migrate the AD domain to. that might fix some issues.

How do I move users' home folders to another disk other than boot disk

I would like to move all of my various users' home folders to a different disk. How is this done?
Do I need to then have the disk mount before any users log in? If so, how do I mount it?

But if you are using Leopard (since you are posting in the Leopard category) and simply forgot to update your profile, you can select the location of your home directory by going to System Preferences Accounts pane, and right (control) clicking on your user name to get the +Advanced Options+. You may need to +unlock the lock+ (give authorization) first.
Here are more specific directions.

Can not remove users home folders from TM exclude list.

Hi
MBP mid 2012 10.9.3.
Been away from my TM for some time. So adjusted exclusions I have in place for regular backups. For some reason I can not remove the users home folder exclusion. I have reset TM by removing the plist. Everything reset apart from the exclusions. Any Ideas?
Cheers.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" selected. Move the file to the Trash.
Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
A folder named "ByHost" should open. Inside that folder, there may be a file with a long name beginning "com.apple.TimeMachine." If the file exists, move it to the Trash.
Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.

A permission problem of network user home folders

I have a problem in logging in of network users. I suspect it is due to incorrect permissions at the client. The trouble scenarios is as follows:
Hosts (all in the local network):
server.example.com (Mac mini server 10.8.4 w/ Server.app)
    provides Open Directory and AFP/SMB File Sharing
    allows remote login via SSH,
    have two network user accounts (user1 and user2), and
    have their home folders on the external HDD (/Volumes/HD1/home).
client.example.com (Mac mini 10.8.4)
    takes server.example.com as network account server and
    allows remote login via SSH.
From the third machine (third.exmple.com), both user1 and user2 can simultaneously login to server.example.com via SSH without trouble.
Their home folders (directories) are: /Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/HD1/home/{user1, user2}
Problem Scenario:
(1) After rebooting both server.example.com and client.example.com, user1 can also login to client.example.com via SSH without any trouble.
His/her home folder is /Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/HD1/home/user1. This seems correct behavior.
(2) But after the successful login of user1, user2 fails to login to client.example.com via SSH. The error messages look like this:
user@third$ ssh -l user2 client.example.com
Password:
Last login: ...
Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/HD1/home/user2:     Permission denied
-bash: /Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/HD1/home/user2/.bash_profile: Permission denied
user2@client$ pwd
user2@client$
At this time, the file permission of the mount point of "home" folder is like the following. I suspect that this prevents user2 to access his/her home folder.
user2@client$ ls -l /Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/HD1
total 0
dr-x------+ 1 user1 staff 264 Sep 9 20:24 home
(3) Now I can observe (at server.example.com) that user1 is connecting as the AFP file service user. After disconnecting user1 using Server.app, user2 can login to client.example.com successfully.
(4) While user2 is successfully logging in to client.exmple.com, user1 fails to login to the host. The error messages look similar to (2).
At this time, the file permission of the mount point of the "home" is taken by user2.
Sorry for the long scenario. Does anyone have clue to solve this?
I havn't encountered this sort of problem when I was using Snow Leopard Servers.
Note:
On server.example.com, /Volumes/HD1/home is configured to be share point (with guest access permission) and AFP home. Its local permission is:
user1@server$ ls -ld /Volumes/HD1/home
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 root admin 136 9 9 20:24 /Volumes/HD1/home
On client.example.com, the permission of the directories above the mount point of "home" is: drwxr-xr-x+ root admin
Both accounts (user1 and user2) are created using Server.app connected to server.example.com (I didn't use Workgroup manager).

Takuo,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having a similar problem. Linc's comment (about not logging into the server with a network user) doesn't apply -- I'm not logged on with that user, and I have rebooted the server since any possible logins.
Essentially, I have a home network where I've setup OpenDirectory on a Mac Mini Server. I'm authenticating via LDAP properly between my iMac client and my Mac Mini Server. For example, using 'id' at the command prompt, I can properly retrieve all network information, and can use 'ldapsearch' to query user IDs from the server. Perhaps most importantly, I've got pGina setup on a Windows XP machine, and I can authenticate via LDAP against the Server as well -- so I'm pretty sure that I've got the LDAP & DNS parameters all properly configured.
But what I can't seem to figure out is why my SMB shares are failing. Whenever a network user's home directory attempts to get mounted on the iMac client, the home directory authentication fails. For example,
vimac:~ kris$ su - kmv
Password:
su: no directory
On the server-side, I'm seeing:

If I use 'smb://' (with a username & password), I also get denied, and the same error about the "NULL" indomain appears in the log.
Is this similar to what you saw? I've been scouring the web for info about digest-request, but am fairly new to OS X, so my progress has been slow...

Home Folders Not being Created Correctly

I'm having some sort of major issue with my directory and/or afp setup.
I'm trying to create new users and the home folder won't be created at all. If I change the permissions (give write access to the user's group) on the root of the share that hosts the home folders it will create one but it is mangled. The home folder only conatins a Library and Desktop Folder. Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, and Sites are missing. Also the permissions on this newly created home are mangled being 700 instead of 755.
All Existing Users are functioning okay but creating new home folders is broken. It has been a while since I've needed to create new users. I'm worried it may be hard to isolate the cause and effect. I have done software updates 10.4.6 and now 10.4.7. Also I changed this machine to handle local DNS.
Any Ideas?
XServe G4 1.0 Single 500GB Mirrored RAID on Internal Drives 10.4.7 Server

We also have this problem, and before I go and re-edit the home folder entries for each of our 600-odd users, I'd appreciate if you could confirm that this solution is going to work for me...
Troubleshooting another problem, we applied the x.4.6 update about the same time as the Network Mounts were turned off then a restart and turned back on again. A bad combination.
Faced with a Monday morning "None of the students can log in" crisis ("you are unable to log in to the user account "username" at this time..."), and thinking that the problem had been caused by my turning the network mounts off, I discovered that student mount points now show (in WM's Home tab) as "afp://10.224.96.2/Students" where they used to be "afp://mainserver.westlandhigh.school.nz/Students".
The easy fix to the problem (not knowing about artnum 303697 at that point) was to reassign the home folders to the 10.224.96.2 home. (when you don't know what to do, you do what you know how to do). This got the users happily working again, although there were all sorts of strange problems relating to disk quotas that some users had to work through.
a few days later the log entries about DNS were noted, artnum 303697 applied, and changeip fixed those things. hostname responds correctly as mainserver.westlandhigh.school.nz. Everything ran reasonably well for the next couple of months, although the AFP/CPU hogging problem mysteriously appeared...
x.4.7 seems to have solved the AFP/CPU hogging, but now we've discovered a problem creating home folders for new users.
Tim's fix on 3rd August shed some light... An interesting quirk of using Presets is that we still have a Student preset that puts the FQDN name in the home folders list. So we can leave the FQDN home folder selected, click Create Home Now, and on Save, the folder is created. But the student can't login: "you are unable to log in to..."
Change the mount point to the IP number, Save, and it almost works - the system tells the user they are already logged in to another computer... Selecting Allow simultaneous login from Advanced solves this problem, but leaves the system open for the student to attempt to log in twice, with the potential for havoc there. It's also not a wonderful work around as the other staff who sometimes enter new users are likely to miss one or more of the extra steps...
I guess that I'm going to have to turn Network Mounts off in Sharing, and then turn them on again to get the right set of mount points showing in Accounts/Home, and then work my way back through all the students and point them back to the FQDN mountpoint again?
Is it likely to be worth the pain? Will it cause some other problem to arise? Is there an easier way?

Syncing Windows users with Mac users home folders

Hello,
I have setup my 10.6 XServe to allow Windows user to connect.
The Windows machines log into the server just fine but when they save something to their Documents, Desktop etc... it doesn't show up when they log into a Mac machine and vice versa.
I did find a script on WazMac for a logon vbs but that does not work.
Any help?

Thank you Linc Davis,
I did some investigation on the internet to see the default ACLs on the "users" folder and I noticed that I added a group access. I deleted it and ended up with the correct configuration. I have now each user accessing his own home folder with read and write access to all the folders (desktop, music, video...) and sees the others users' home folder with access denied.
I think I can live with that configuration. Problem solved.

How to manage local user home folders?

We are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 in a classroom. Hard drive has two partitions, one for OS and apps, the other for student's files. Computers are bind to the Active Directory. Unfortunately, local home folders are on the boot parition. Over a time when apps FCP and Avid are frequently used, the boot partition gets filled with files and finally it's full. With zero kb available, users cannot even login anymore. Manually deleting files by admin is cumbersome and time-consuming task.
I'm looking for a way to keep /Users folder clean. Putting user's home folders to server is not an option, because of latency issues etc. Unfortunately the local home folder is the default saving place when user issues the Save As command. I've tried to tinker with the User Template to lock the Documents folder but apps like Microsoft Word and Final Cut Pro go crazy when they cannot save there.
Forwarding /Users to other partition does not solve the problem, it just moves the problem to another place.
Logout Hook to automatically purging the files could be an solution, but there's always one hapless soul who saves his or hers files to wrong place and loses them. Or maybe a script which looks at the modfication date and deletes old files.
Any ideas?

You need to set the scratch disks in FCP and Avid to fix the problem.
Files coming from word etc, will be so minor that it'll take forever to fill up the HD with that kind of stuff.
If you wanted to move the whole home folder to another place on the system, you need to do so using OS X server. It's called Augmenting Active Directory User Records.
If you don't have an OS X Server, you may be able to change the Users Home directory on each individual computer, but it's going to be pretty cumbersome. Do so in the Accounts pane in the System Preferences.
Once you've changed the User Home folder location, you need to copy the users home folder using rsync in the terminal.
Like this:
rsync -av /Users/*username* /Volumes/*drivename*/*homefolderlocation*/

Home Folders not located in the usual place....Please Help!

I had a power failure this past weekend and now the client stations get the following error after logging in and selecting a group:
"The Home folder for user "student1" is not located in the ususal place or cannot be accessed.
I have done the following:
1-Unshare and share share points
2-Delete mcx_cache file in client station
3-check host name
4-Demote Server to recreate Home Directories
I created a new user and group with this new directory after demoting and promoting the server to Open Directory Master and I still get the dreaded message that the Home Folders can't be accessed, any assisstance will be greatly appreciated!
If I log in with a network user using the server, I can log in fine, also, if I go to the client computer and log in as a local user, and try to connect using the finder menu and a network user I have no problems. What else I can do to solve this issue!

It looks something like this:

What do you mean by mounting the user share manually?

User home folders Upper and Lower case problem in FPN

Hi Sdn,
I am facing a wiered problem in FPN. I configured FPN between EP and BI portal.
EP is using UME as LDAP
BI portal is using UME as ABAP
configured KM folders on to EP using Webdav scenario
now when I try to save KM book marks, it is saving perfectly in EP
the problem is saving bookmarks in the userfolder with Uppercase like USER
the KM favorites iView with the path (/alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites)is trying to look into the userfolder with lowercase like user and displaying nothing
plese help me in solving this for KM iView to ignorie case
Thanks!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Simon,
I understand that this problem is because of UME as LDAP and ABAP .
I tried to create a KM Navigational iView for favorites folder /alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites.
but here problem is I am not able to convert user.id to Ucase
As per your suggestion, it is not possible to create one KM navigational iView to peep into multiple folders
for this the solution might be in two ways. creating KM iView to ignore case and look into the user home folder
if so, How to make the iView to ignore case
second option is to configure BEx broadcaster to publish in USER.lower folder
is so, How to achieve this
being people started using FPN most frequently and moving BI to seperate Portal and use ABAP as ume.
users will start encounter this problem most often. SAP has to come out with solution for this

New OSX Server Installation - User Home Folders Dissapear after on logout

hi all,
Can anyone help me identify this problem that i`m getting with a new fresh install and setup of OSX-server 10.4.10? Basically i have setup the server but when users are logging out of their binded 10.4.10 macs their home folders are dissapearing off of the server. If anyone needs anymore detailed information on the configuration please let me know
thanks,

Hi
You will see the 99 folder on the Server. It will be in the folder designated for Home Folder creation and automounting. It gets created if there are no home folders.
Is this the only server on the network?
What happens if you create a new user and home folder, one whose log in name and password does not exist anywhere else and is also not the clients local admin account. On the client click other and log in with that account. On logout does this users home folder disappear off the server?

Home Folders not found in the usual place

I solved this problem by deleting the cache folders in /Library/Caches and ~/Library/Caches.
Reboot and login to a LOCAL client (so that new cache files are created. Empty the trash again to eliminate the remaining cache files that weren't deleted (because they were still open).
Restart the machine again and attempt to log in to a network user. All should be fine.

Worked for me digitaltvguy thanks a lot had a eMac which wasn't logging into anyones home folders when everyone else was. This was after I turned on the DHCP server in Mac OS X Tiger Server version 10.4.5. Works fine now. Cheers.
