WD Elements can*t be integrated into Active Directory

Hope this is the right place to put this question in:
Lately I was buying a WD Myclouds DL4100. We installed everything andtried to put it into our active directory. We made sure we typedeverything in correctly and where it belongs to because the manual ofthis thing is..well...sh**.After that we tried to integrate it but it didn't work. We triedeverything to put it into our domain but it always said and this is freetranslated "Error while integrating into Domain".I couldn't find help on Google so you are basically my last hope.
PS: Sorry for any typos or grammatically incorrectnes... English is not my main language.
If you need any more details feel free to ask

Tighter Integration with Active Directory User Groups

I just wrapped up a Jabber deployment with IM&P 9.1(1) and J4W clients 9.1(3).
The customer asked me if it is on Cisco's roadmap to allow groups in Active Directory to be pulled into the Jabber client. The primary business case is to allow those in IT to send out IM blasts to the corporation or certain departments.
Obviously, this would require a significant amount of development and a much tighter integration with Active Directory, but I need to ask anyway.
Has something like this been identified and placed on any roadmap?
Thanks,
Matthew Berry

Unfortunately this kind of questions cannot be addressed here, roadmap questions need to go thru official channels for an answer.
You need to reach your SE/AM for this question.

Unzip does not work if osx is integrated in active directory

We have the following problem:
Unzip of zip-files (containing folders) does not work as soon as the osx client is integrated in active directory. The zip-file is located on the windows server file share. The share is mounted over smb to the client. We try to unzip it directly on that share with osx integrated zip / unzip functionality.
If we copy the zip-file to the local file system, unzip works.
If the zip-file contains just files, unzip works.
Under osx 10.8 unzip works. The problem occurs if we use 10.9 or higher.
There is no entry in the system log file.
If we try it with a 3rd party tool (stuffit expander), it works.
Deactivating of all of the domain policies does not solve the problem.
The problem occurs also if we mount the share with domain admin credentials. So there is not a problem with user rights.

I have found the correct answer! After hours of research and chat with Verizon, I know it is operating correctly. Here is why:
If I have WIFI on, Verizon appllications can not be downloaded. So, if you are in the Verizon apps section for programs preloaded on your screen or any applications through Verizon, you can only download using 3G or 4G. If you have WIFI on, you must shut it down to use 3G & 4G networking of Verizon.
Any other downloads, not through Verizon, will download over WIFI. Even though the icons for 3G & 4G are visible when WIFI is active, they are disabled. My problem was reinstalling all the applications originally installed on the phone. To do that, WIFI must be shut down.
So the phone is working properly. I did find someone with Verizon who filled me in on this information. Thanks everyone for your help.

Autheticating useing Cisco ACS 4.2 integrated with Active Directory 2003

How do i check that users are Autheticated useing Cisco ACS 4.2 integrated with Active Directory 2003, any one help me in this thanks

You can't actually see the user's membership from ACS. All you can do, create group-mapping under external database >> group mapping section. This would give you an option to map external (AD) group with an Internal group.The group memberrship need to be modified under Active Directory.
Once user is succussfully authenticated and learned as a dynamic user in ACS user setup database, it would be mapped with an ACS internal group based on group mapping we did.
Let me know if you have any doubts.

How to import Photos into Active Directory

Hi -
IT Director asked me to import employees pictures into Active Directory so that we can use them in Outlook, SharePoint, Lync etc.
Do you know how to import pictures into Active Directory?

Thumbnailphoto Attribute in active directory is responsible for adding photos to Active directory.
By Default Replication of this attribute will be disabled to Global catalog server. To make use of this facility we will have to enable replication of this attribute to Global Catalog. ( To accomplish this you will have to edit the schema using Active directory
schema snap in).
Refer Below link which explains about enabling the replication of Thumbnailphoto attribute to Global catalog.
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/configuring-using-display-picture-exchange-server-2010.html
Requirements
Minimum requirement for your exchange enviornment to use this - Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2007 Don't support uploading photos AFAIK.
Domain controller should be running with atleast windows server 2008 or later. And
schema has to be windows server 2008
Additionally for your information,
How to remove the uploaded photos?
Either You can edit the Thumbnailphoto attribute using ADSIedit and remove the entry which is assocaited with Thumbnailphoto attribute.
Or,
Try this.
The Import-RecipientDataProperty and Export-RecipientDataProperty cmdlets allow you to import and export the photo blob to and from
thumbnailPhoto attribute, but there's no Remove-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet to remove it. You can use the
RemovePicture switch of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove a user's photo. For example:
Set-Mailbox "Bharat Suneja" -RemovePicture
Check out the below link which explains in and out of uploading photos,

Beginners guide to integration with Active Directory?

Hi (complete beginner to this, but a quick learner)
I don't know where to start with regards to getting the Macs on our network connecting like the PCs. Currently we have about 100 Macs on 10.4.x that are bound to the AD using Directory Access - users can log in, but that's about as far as integration goes. Their home folders do not "map" to the corresponding folders on the Macs, and we (as administrators) have no control over the Mac network users like we would have the local Mac users.
I've been asked to look into this issue, and along with creating new modular 10.5.x system builds for all our Macs (different hardware, different software needs, different physical locations), I need to know what the next steps are. I have no experience of using Mac OS X Server or Active Directory. Besides telling me to ask the IT department to hire a Mac professional, what should I be looking into next?
So far, this is how I think the process goes:
1) Ensure I have solid modular system builds ready to go for the different macs/different classrooms.
2) Get an Xserve for IT.
3) Have Open Directory integrate with Active Directory, so that the same access controls/permissions are applied to the Mac users as they are the Windows users (including Finder access controls, Application controls, folder mapping etc) - *this is where I need guidance*.
4) Push out the system builds to the Macs on the network
5) Connect the Macs using Open Directory...
6) ...
As you can see, my knowledge kind of peters out towards the end there; is this a realistic undertaking for me (a classroom technician who happens to use Macs - NOT trained in any of this) and the Mac-phobic IT department (who would prefer switching all of our workstations to PC)? Are we going to have to bite the bullet and get some expensive consultants in?

And that is about as far as the Apple plugin will take you. In order to do more you need to either extend schema (very scary), look at third party products like Centrify (very expensive), or look at getting an OS X Server and implementing the "magic triangle" in which OS X attributes are managed in OD while users, groups, and password are managed by AD.

If you go the route of OS X Server and MCX settings, make life easy on yourself and build one common build. Then limit app access based on your groups. That way you can simplify the number of images you maintain down to one (provided you have appropriate licensing).
So far, this is how I think the process goes:
1) Ensure I have solid modular system builds ready to go for the different macs/different classrooms.
See above. But if you need to, look at InstaDMG
2) Get an Xserve for IT.
Yep. But if you are only doing MCX you might want to look for a cheeper alternative. The Xserve can offer some nice additions, including software update server and Netinstall server among others.
3) Have Open Directory integrate with Active Directory, so that the same access controls/permissions are applied to the Mac users as they are the Windows users (including Finder access controls, Application controls, folder mapping etc) - *this is where I need guidance*.
Yep. You are on the money.
4) Push out the system builds to the Macs on the network
Push huh. Look at Radmind. Then take a summer off to learn it. Then become god.
5) Connect the Macs using Open Directory...
Actually, connect the macs to both AD and OD. This will allow authentication and instantiating through AD and management through OD. Works very well.

It is learnable especially with the summer and available hardware. However, supporting the consulting industry is always nice http://consultants.apple.com

OIM 9.1.0 Integration with Active Directory 2008 R2

Hi,
My customer is running Root/Child AD structure based on windows 2003 w/SP2, OIM 9.1.0 deployed under one of the child domains, and integrated with child domains controllers which runs windows server 2003 as well.
My customer has decided to upgrade his AD to Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers across the entire AD Forest and still wants to integrate the current OIM v9.1.0 with AD for all of his Users provisioning and password synchronizations.
Am not sure if current OIM version of OIM 9.1.0 is compatible and supported by OIM v9.1.0 under active directory version 2008 / R2, and not sure if it can be integrated with such AD version.
Any guidance is really appreciated.
Also I was thinking of such scenario but also not sure of its support ability and if OIM will keep working on such scenario, the scenario is to upgrade only the AD root domain to Windows 2008 R2 while keeping the child domain holding the OIM 9.1.0 at Windows 2003 version.
Is this a working and supported scenario by OIM v9.1.0 ?

I believe you question should be if the connector supports this architecture. Check out the versions supported for the connector you are using and you should be good.

BOBJ SAP Integration with Active Directory SSO via Portal

Hi all,
We are only interating BOBJ with BW/BI and the user experience is as follows:
Users login to the SAP Portal using their Windows Active Directory user id and password to gain access to the portal.
From my understanding at the moment, the way the interation kit works is that the BOBJ system is configured as per the manual importing the SAP roles and SAP users who will access the Crystal reports via either GUI or Portal.
My question is: When creating a Crystal report is created, the connection details use SAP login credentials and in the CMC the SSO option can be set so that the SAP user who has logged onto GUI or Portal can launch the report... this is fine and works as intended taken that the user logged on with his/her SAP login. As per the user experience above, users log in using their AD Login into Portal, and never use GUI, where this in theory is SSO into Portal. So how does one get past the login screens (BOBJ and database) while preserving AD SSO to SAP and BOBJ?
Any guidance, documents or comments will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jacques

HI,
yes it is possible:
take a look at the blogs I did on the install and configuration (specially the SAP Authentication):
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 1 of 4
Install Part #1
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 2 of 4
Install Part #2
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 3 of 4
Install Part #3
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 4 of 4
Install Part #4
BusinessObjects and SAP - Configure SAP Authentication
SAP Authentication
Important here is that:
- the BI System is configured to accept tickets
- the portal and BI system are configured as trusted system
- the SAP authentication is configured

Hi Angus,
Policy Server does not require a specific LDAP schema. During configuration you simply map the LDAP attributes of your schema to the ones that Policy Server supports (e.g., common name, email address, etc).
If you are configuring Policy Server to use an LDAP, it will use the LDAP to authenticate the user (Policy Server does not store the password itself in this case).
If passwords are stored outside of the LDAP (e.g., in a database), it is possible to write a custom authentication provider to authenticate against this source.
Hope this helps,

SAP R/3 4.6 C Integration with Active Directory

Dear Friends,
We have a requirement to Integrate Active Directory User Authentication to SAP User authentication. Currently we are using following systems in our organization:
SAP R/3 4.6 C Kernel 46D
SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP4
Currently users are logging into Individual SAP systems with ther own User ID and passwords and they need to remember all the system passwords.
We are not looking for EP for SIngle Sign on.
Do we have any option to Integrate Active Directory User authentication with these 2 SAP systems using SSO method ?
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,
Depending on the server OS (Linux, Solaris, Windows, etc) and client (web browser, SAP GUI, etc), you can accomplish this several different ways ranging from using features provided by SAP directly ([SAP GUI and Windows to Windows|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/44/0ebf6c9b2b0d1ae10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm] for example) or by [several third party vendors|http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions?query=%22active+directory%22].
Please let us know what OS and clients are you working with and I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.
Thanks!

Connected to Domain but can't log in using Actived Directory Credentials

Hey everyone. I've been working on this issue for two weeks now, and I don't know what else to try. I'm connected to my domain but cannot get my Macbooks to log in using Active Directory credenitals both through our wireless network, and hard wired with an ethernet cable. The weird part about it is that it is not uniform all across our network. This only happens to certain Macbooks and as of right now there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I can say that it has happened to all new Macbook Pros that we have ordered lately though.
We use Jamf to manage our Macs on our network, and ever since upgrading to a new version (9.01 and now 9.1) we have had this issue. However I can't connect after manually adding the domain either, so for now it makes me think it is not a Jamf issue. Has anyone dealt with this issue before, that might know of a fix? Thanks!

Hi Burnettb1,
I have come across a similar issue as yours. I have included the instructions that I use to bind the Mac at my institution. In regards to wifi, I have not tried binding the Mac over wifi. Should you need to log in to a Mac with domain user credentials I would suggest to bind the Mac over ethernet. Once you get to the:
*Click on triangle to the left of Show Advanced Options to expand"
portion of the instructions click on the Mappings tab and select the checkbox for creating a mobile account at login. This will create a domain user profile on the machine that you can log into when not connected to the domain.
Hope this helps.
BIND iMac:
          Login into iMac using administrative credentials
          Open System Preferences
                    *Goto Users & Groups
                    *Click on lock in lower left-hand corner
                    *Use same password used to log into iMac

EMacs cant log into active directory anymore

Hello,
I'm hoping you can give me some insight as to what is going on.
We run an active directory network which is basically all PCs.
We do however have two rooms with 12 eMacs in them each. Up until mid December they had been mostly fine but what we are exeriencing now is that they are having real difficulty logging into the active directory.
If i click on the names of the machines eventually i will see one of three things:
1. Green dot- network accounts available. These we can log into.
2. Yellow dot - some network accounts available. These we cant log into.
3. Red dot - no network accounts available. These we cant log into.
My knowledge of Macs is about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
The DHCP server is server 2003
The eMacs are running OS X 10.4.11
I can log into them as local administrator and can browse the network and even get onto the internet when they are unable to log onto Active directory.
What ive done so far...
1. If i unbind and then rebind the mac using directory access they can log in for a while but then randomly they change so that we cant log into them anymore.
2. gave each of the macs an ip reservation on the dhcp server so that they always pick up the same ip address.
3. removed them from Active directory and re added them. even gave them different names.
4. Changed out the switch they were plugged into.
none of these has solved the issue so far so im hoping that someone might have seen something like this before...
thank you.
