Using a mobile account on the server, external home directory
Hi All,
Running Server 4, Yosemite 10.10
I have setup a few mobile accounts via the server. These accounts have been given new home locations on an external thunderbolt HD. Everything is working as expected when connecting via an external MBA and MBP, login and sync work as expected:
However, when I try to use one of the network accounts on the actual server I come across sync issues, the Directory Util details used are:
HomeDirectory:
<home_dir><url>smb://imac.local/Users</url><path>Username</path></home_dir>
NFSHomeDirectory:
/Network/Servers/imac.local/Volumes/Server/Users/Username
Could someone explain the difference between these two, as it appears the first one comes into effect when I log into the server with the mobile account.
When i login with the account and select sync from the menubar icon I get get the following errors:
So, I can see from the errors what is happening, but have no idea how to fix..
Setting for the Shared Folder:
Any ideas welcome, thanks in advance!
Is this a new requirement? I have been using home sync (portable home directories) with NFS for several years.
However, my laptop has not been able to sync since it and the server have gone to Yosemite.

We often need to send files downloaded from irm-enabled libraries of sharepoint to our clients who have no access to our rms server enviroment via e-mail or OA. Now we have to remove these files' irm setting mannually using the account who
have overall control rights to this files, and then send these files to our cilent via email or OA (Upload to OA and use OA's delivery system). I want to know is it possible to automatically remove irm setting when uploading files to OA.Hello Tolab,

Crash when opening Mobile account for the first time
I have some issue with my client mobile account I have set up on theMacMini server and on the MacBook Pro client. Actually I was never able to open completely the mobile account on the client (i.e. it crashes after synchronization between client & server and prior opening the account: it freezes on the "sky&stars" screen).
First of all, I created the (empty) mobile account on the server and then on the client (also empty).
Next, I copied my local account on the client to the mobile account on the client.
Following step was the synchronization between both mobile accounts - and here I'm.
Some details:
local account: Paul-admin - home directory: Paul
mobile account on the client: PaulM - home directory: palm
mobile account on the server: PaulM - home directory: palm
To make a copy of the local account to the mobile one (both on the client machine) via Terminal:
cp -r /users/Paul/ /Users/palm/
To correct the permissions:
chown -R PaulM /Users/palm
Have I missed anything or did I something wrong ?Some discovered complementary information:
This "freeze" happens only when the client MBP is connected to the server via my LAN. If I disconnect the client, I can open the mobile account without any issue. Also, this mobile account is under parental control, even if I didn't specify this parameter in any server menu and when I change it on the client, it comes back after the synchronisation. Any idea ? -
A couple of months ago we decommissioned the 10.4.11 xserve that was serving as our LDAP server and home directory server for mobile accounts. We migrated all of that to a newer 10.6.8 xserve. It was a fairly rough migration, but we've pretty much sorted it out except for one last annoyance: when you look at System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items for all of our mobile accounts, every single client is still trying to mount an afp share on the old server. Logging in takes FOREVER because the connection needs to time out, so now my users are no longer logging out/in as often as they should, and so their Home Sync's are getting old.
When you go to the client's Preferences, the line referencing the old server share is still there, but the minus sign is greyed out so the item cannot be deleted.
The Kind is listed as "unknown" and there is a grey warning triangle next to it.
This is clearly some sort of template/Preference that is hardcoded to the old name, and whatever file this is got moved to the new server (which has a different name and different numeric IP address.) Because even the BRAND NEW users that I have created since after "pdc04.hgbc.com" disappeared are trying to log in to the non-existent share on the non-existent server, too!
I have tried running grep on the entire disk on one of the clients looking for the string "pdc04", and updated everything that I found using vi directly on the files. I have tried running grep on select directory trees on the new file server looking for pdc04. In my grep on the client, I found the string in
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/loginwindow.plist
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/complete.plist
but searching all of the logingwindow.plist and complete.plist files on the new server comes up with nothing.
Does anyone have any idea where the template or preference or plist is on the server so that I can delete or update the file with the new host name?I think that Grant is on the right track -- but the problem is that whatever file that pdc04's Server Manager wrote into is not available to pdc's Server Manager to edit or even display.
We upgraded mostly by turning off the G5 10.4 xserve and unplugging the fiber-channel RAID (with user accounts on it) and plugging the RAID into a fiber-channel card on the new (to us) Nehalem 10.6 xserve, which we did after using Migration Assistant between the machines. Then we had various and sundry problems, and we ended up moving all of the mobile account directories to the internal RAID on the new server.
Clearly there is a file somewhere that acts as a template for mobile accounts and it refers to the old machine but its been moved to the new machine.
Only two of the mobile accounts have directories in the /Library/Managed Preferences folder. One of them, ironically, is mine, and my account hasn't worked right since we went to the new server. -
I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server. What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients. Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences. Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server. Any Ideas?

HI
Is there a way or a app to download to see what applications is using my mobile account/airtime instead of using the BIS service? The reason for asking is that my airtime is being used on its own, without my knowledge. Please assist.so if we do have the same apple id is it possible to delete if from any of the other devices or any where I can just unactivate them from my apple id account to where it would delete the message if they happened to get it?

My iPod used to always connect to the internet at home but now it does not. What can I do?
Try the following:
Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.
On your iPod Touch use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
If this does not work test your iPod on some other networks, e.g., Starbucks, etc. If it doesn't work there it may have developed a hardware problem.

We have one domain with about 36 sites. On the sites we use (2008R2 / 2012R2) RODC's .
All workstations have Windows 7.
Some users work on several sites. We want the user to just be able to use one account and the environment to see on which site the user logs in, so the right script can be loaded and the appropiate resources like data and printers are available.
We have several users working on 4 sites (different schools) doing their work fot that specific site overthere.
I want the system to see where a user logs in (can be on IP address), so we can give the users just one account that will work as it should.
I like to get some ideas or advise on how to get it done.
Thanks,
Ben.

Use Group Policy Objects and link them to your sites as appropriate...

Email gets queued, but not sent until I login to my account on the server.
This is very strange. Let me explain.
1. Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 running on an iMac.
2. I have the Mail Service running on the server. I can receive emails without problems.
3. Using my Snow Leopard Server email account, I attempt to send an email to another account (e.g. a mac.com email account).
4a. If I am actively logged into my Snow Leopard Server account *on the iMac* (e.g. via VNC, as long as my desktop is active), the email will arrive successfully. Here are the mail.log messages:

4b. If, however, my Snow Leopard Server account is either logged out, or even just "fast user switched" to the Login Window, the email gets queued, but not sent to the external email address. I get the following four messages in the mail.log file:
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: connect from \[External Host Address]
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: B5F574AD582: client=\[External Host Address], sasl_method=CRAM-MD5, sasl_username=MyUserName

postfix/qmgr\[65313]: B5F574AD582: from=<[email protected]>, size=604, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
4c. The instant I login to my machine at home (e.g. via VNC), the email finishes processing. The below messages are logged, and my external email account receives the email:
postfix/smtpd\[69160]: connect from localhost\[127.0.0.1]

I'm very much at a loss here. It's as if the act of logging out (or fast user switching to the Login Window) suspends some process that is required for my email to process. But .... why?
Any ideas? Any additional information I can provide to help figure this out? Fwiw, I used to run Tiger Server (never tried Leopard Server) and never had this problem.
RobLooks to me like the anti-virus scanner, amavis. The clue is the line:
postfix/smtp[69038]: 942814AD55B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1\[127.0.0.1\]:10024, delay=0.25, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as C611B4AD568)
where the 10024 is the default port that Amavis runs on. Postfix is configured to pass mail through this port, and queues the mail until Amavis is available.
My guess, therefore, is that Amavis is set to run under your account rather than under the system, which is why it only runs when you're logged in. Off hand I have no idea how you managed this and that makes it hard to work out how to fix it. I'd start by looking for org.amavis.amavisd.plist in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/LaunchDaemons and ~/Library/LaunchDaemons (it should be in the former, but if its in the latter that could explain it. -
On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it. -
we have a server and all of use the server's url to work on it. when i log out from the application, the session with the server doesnt end.
mailto : [email protected]If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Using IClusterInformation Interface to get the server node.
Hi ,
I have created a portal application which contains an Abstract Portal Component to display the server node the user logs on.
I have written the following code :
IClusterInformation clusterContext =
(IClusterInformation) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService( IClusterInformation.KEY);
I too added the Sharing Reference , "com.sap.portal.runtime.system.clusterinformation" to Application Config property in Portalapp.xml file.
But still am getting an error "IClusterInformation cannot be resolved".
Do I need to add some external JAR File to the Java Build Path of my portal Application. If so , Which JAR file I need to add?
Regards,
Eben Joyson.I use this to get the server - node:
String node = "";
Enumeration props = System.getProperties().keys();
while (props.hasMoreElements()) {
String thisProp = props.nextElement().toString();
if (thisProp.startsWith("dsr.") && thisProp.endsWith(".buffersize")) {
node = thisProp.substring(5 + thisProp.indexOf("_" + SID + "_"), thisProp.indexOf(".buffersize"));
if (node != null) {
String cluster = node.substring(0, 6) + "00";
node = node.substring(0, 8);
Hope it helps
