Window Active Directory users cannot see home drive when logon to Macs

This problem just occurred, so that tells me either 10.4.9 has done it or a security update to Windows 2003 Server.
Looking for any tech saavy network guru to help.
Windows 2003 Server houses active directory. Users in the past were able to log on to a Macintosh computer and their home drive would appear on the desktop.
Now 'all of a sudden' any user that logs onto a Macintosh computer with an AD account does not see their home drive on the desktop.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve it? I haven't unbound the Mac from AD yet will try that tomorrow.

Fixed this...a corrupted keychain item that contained the users prior used network password was the culprit.
Once I delted the corrupted keychain, active directory users can log on a Mac and see their home directory on the desktop.

How to create mailboxes under mac os x 10.6.4 either using ldapv3 or windows active directory?

hi,
i'm working on the mail server of our company. the plan is to implement the built in mail server feature of mac mini OS X 10.6.4 using either ldapv3 or preferably our existing window active directory users.
i was able to set the open directory and can view the user accounts from AD. my problem is i do not have any clear documentation or manual on how to create mailboxes using either AD accounts or MAC LDAPv3. i already checked the manual of mac os x mail service administration and have found none pertaining to this case.
i would really appreciate if someone can give me reference on how to do this. as of now im quite desperate because i have a deadline for this project.
thank you in advance for your help.

You said, "A 2014 iMac can't run either Snow Leopard or Lion." I know that. What I want to know is how I can install Lion or Snow Leopard on a peripheral hard drive, NOT on my iMac.

SAP User Authentication via Windows Active Directory

The non-profit company I work for as an SAP Security Admin has been using SAP since 1999. We are currently running ECC 6.0, BI 7.0, and CRM 7.0. With fewer than 300 SAP users, we have not implemented CUA, so each of our multiple clients in these systems is managed independently.
The company recently licensed and implemented some non-SAP software to be used by all of our employees (~1200) in keeping track of & catagorizing their work time; a very handy feature of this software is that it depends upon Windows Active Directory for user authentication. Therefore, each employee logs into this time-keeping package by entering his/her standard PC userID & password. If you can log onto your PC, you can log into the time-keeping software.
That got me thinking & researching, because our SAP users - especially those who have access to three or more SAP clients - must maintain their passwords independently in each SAP client that they hope to access in the future. I'm certainly not the first person who has thought of how nice it would be to permit SAP users to log into all SAP clients across the landscape in which they have defined userIDs, using the same password that they are using to log into their PCs (i.e., the password that is stored & maintained in Windows Active Directory). My quest has led me to find presentations on this topic that typically involve modules we aren't using & very complicated configurations that we really lack the time & resources to employ; or, to third-party solution providers who claim to be certified SAP partners who would love to sell us more software to provide this convenience, usually irelated to single sign-on, LDAP, etc. The lowest pricing tier for such software usually would cover many times the number of SAP users we have to serve here - and it feels like trying to push in a tack using a sledgehammer. It is true that we have not used the same userID for our PCs that we have defined in SAP, so there would need to be some way to translate from one to the other, but our PC password rules are consistent with those we have configured in SAP clients, so it seems to me it should be very simple. Can anyone lead me to a more straightforward solution? If not, can you articulate why this has to be so complicated using SAP software when it seems so simple using relatively inexpensive timekeeping sotware?

Once installed, yes. This is all you need to maintain when users are added. You can even use LDAP if you like to sync all user info between SAP and MS AD domain, but this cannot sync the password, so using SNC authentication instead of using SAP passwords is ideal.

Yes, that is correct. The mapping is maintained using standard SAP user management, such as su01. The user in AD domain might have long account name, e.g. "firstname.verylonglastname" which is too big for use as a SAP username so you can map this long AD account name onto a SAP user called FIRSTLAST in one or more SAP clients.

Unable to login @ login window with Active Directory User

I successfully bound my test machine to Active Directory and can search using dscl and id. I can also su to my active directory user account an authenticate perfectly. All search bases are correct and everything else looks fine.
When I attempt to login from the login window as an AD user, the window shakes. Clicking under Mac OS X shows that "Network Accounts Available". Looks like the CLI tool "dirt" is now gone as well, although insecure it would possibly show something here.
Anyone else having issues after binding to AD? I bound using the Directory Utility gui... I have not tried using my leopard bind script yet.
Thanks,
Ken

I have pretty well the same problem. The machine was already bound to AD prior to upgrade. After could not login on with my account (jball). Can log on with other accounts from the same domain (we only have one AD domain). Can also su to jball in a terminal session. Can't access network resources with jball when I try to connect to a windows server through the finder, instantly comes up with bad username or password, doesn't even think about it.
I have removed any copies of the home folder under either /Users or /Domain as I have had problems with that before. Have repaired permissions and unbind and bind the machine to AD. Have been at this all day now and no closer. Get these error messages in console:
31/08/09 4:49:27 PM SecurityAgent[666] Could not get the user record for 'jball@domainname' from Directory Services
31/08/09 4:49:27 PM SecurityAgent[666] User info context values set for jball@domainname

How can I authenticate a User In Windows Active Directory?

I need to authenticate a user in Windows Active Directory, but I found use the code below will return true if the user name and password are both correct and false if one of them is wrong. But when I input a user name which is not exist in Active Driectory with a blank password, it will also return true. What shall I do? Ask every user must input a password withnot blank?
Please give me some help to solve this problem. Thanks a lot.
Code:
private Context ctx = null;
Hashtable env = new Hashtable ();
boolean isValid = false;
try {
this.setEnvironmentProperties();
String domainName = AuthenticateResources.getString("mydomain.com");
//set the name of domain with the user name
String fullName = name + "@" + domainName;
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ldap://mydomain:389");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,"simple");
//set user related information
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, fullName);
//set user password
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
//validate user
ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
isValid = true;
}catch (AuthenticationException ex){
isValid = false;
catch (NamingException ex) {
throw ex;
}finally{
this.freeContext();
return isValid;

This is usually a problem if Anonymous Binding is enabled. I have faced this in other Directory Servers, but I am not familiar with Active Directory.
I think by default Active Directory disables Anonymous Binding, but you may want to check.

Not able to open active directory user and computer in windows server 2008r2

Hi All techies,
i would like to know one issue which i am facing mostly, i have created 5 virtual machine all with window server2008r2 and one windows 7 on vm-ware now when ever i start my virtual machines everything going rite but when i try to open active directory user/
computer or domain and trust i get a following error "data from active directory user and computers is not available from dc(null) bcoz unspecified error" even when i chk in events log its give me no help, and after 15-30 min everything works good
Please let me know the cause of it and really appreciate it .
Thanks
Atul

You need to ensure that
1. group policy that says "wait for network before logon" is applied to all computers including servers and workstations is applied
2. DNS record exists for all DCs in DNS
3. If there are multiple Domain Controllers in Forests, then they point them as secondary DNS server. This way they will be able to resolve IPs if local DNS server service takes time to start.
As Chris mentioned, you need to start all DCs first, give a time of 5 minutes and then start member servers and workstations for successful logon.

Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

Scott,
The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently). Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

Cannot log into DTR with Active Directory User

Greetings,
I have set up and installed JDI correctly. I can log into /devinf, the cbs, cms and sld systems with no problem using both Administrator and my JDI.Administrator that I assigned to an Active Directory user. I can log into the DTR using a user from the database (i.e. Administrator), however, when trying to access the DTR with an Active Directory user, I get the following message:
500 Internal Server Error
SAP J2EE Engine/6.40
Application error occurred during the request procession.
Details: Error [javax.servlet.ServletException: Group found, but unique name "businessUnit.all.guests" is not unique!], with root cause [com.tssap.dtr.server.deltav.InternalServerException: Group found, but unique name "businessUnit.all.guests" is not unique!]. The ID of this error is

This group exists in multiple domainshowever, this has not caused us any issues to date with our portal and other pieces of SAP WASit's only this DTR error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty

Hi Marty,
In the document available at the link enclosed below, there is a part that explains how to configure DTR so that it always uses "Unique-IDs".
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/f4a94076b63713e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
It is mentioned that this is valid for LDAP, but the information is applicable for Active Directory as well.

How to display active directory users through weblogic portal Application?

Hi,
Does anyone has faced this situation?
I configured the activedirectory and able to see the users and group in the weblogic console at Security->Realms->Myrealm->users. when I run my portal application,I am able to see only the users that are configured in embedded weblogic LDAP ie, I can see only the users weblogic,portaladmin and yahooadmin that are of defaultauthenticator provider.I need to display the active directory users also in our portal.
I have two doubts on this?
1)Is it I need to write custom code to view the active directory users in our portal?
2)Does I need to use any jars that supports active directory authenticator?
I would appreciate if any one can reply on this with helpfull docs/information.
We are using BEA 8.1 SP4.

RSAT - Active Directory Users and Computers

After installing build 9879, I cannot open Active Directory Users and Computers. I get error message: MMC could not create the snap in. I do not see KB2693643 under installed updates anymore. I've tried to reinstall KB2693643
but I get error code 0x8024001d. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi readabook,
To resolve windows update error 0x8024001d, please rename Software Distribution folder:
1. Click on Start, choose run type in CMD and click OK.
2. Type NET STOP WUAUSERV and press Enter. (leave this window open for later use)
3. Open My Computer
4. Find the folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

Trying to login to Windows active directory at work

I take my iMac back and forth between home and work. We have multiple types of servers which I can log into. But I'm unable to login to the Windows Active Directory. Note that I can login with the windows desktop. Just not my iMac which I strongly prefer to use.
I went into \applications\utilities\directory access and put in the directory domain (as shown in the windows computer) and typed in what I want it to see as my computer name and then clicked on Bind.
A new window opens (Network Administration Required) screen asking for my Username, password, and Computer OU: and I put them in as they show on my windows computer and hit enter.
A new window comes up showing "Invalid domain" An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest (e.g., ads.company.com).
Tech support says they don't support anything other than Windows XP and don't look at all sorry about it. Any idea how I can find out the information I need from my Windows computer and typing things in at the command prompt?
Thanks in advance.

Note that are computers come preconfigured and already connecting to our Windows server. So users don't enter any information other than user-name and password to get in.
So they have to create a computer name (like creating a user) on the server and then tell me what it is and I put the same info in my computer to login. Hmmm. Now the question is whether they will do that for me or not.
Thank you.

Issue with Active Directory User Target Recon

Hi ,
I am facing an issue with Active Directory User Target Recon
My environment is OIM 11g R2 with BP03 patch applied
AD Connector is activedirectory-11.1.1.5 with bundle patch 14190610 applied
In my Target there are around 28000 users out of which 14000 have AD account (includes Provisioned,Revoked,Disabled accounts)
When i am running Active Directory User Target Recon i am not putting any filter cleared the batch start and batch size parameters and ran the recon job .Job ran successfully but it stopped after processing around 3000 users only.
Retried the job two three times but every time it is stopping after processing some users but not processing all the users.
Checked the log file oimdiagnostic logs and Connector server logs cannot see any errors in it.
Checked the user profile of users processed can see AD account provisioned for users
My query is why this job is not processing allthe users.Please point if i am missing some thing .
thanks in advance

Check the connector server load when you are running the recon. Last time I checked the connector, the way it was written is that it loads all the users from AD into the connector server memory and then sends them to OIM. So if the number was huge, then the connector server errored out and did not send data to OIM. We then did recon based on OUs to load/link all the users into OIM. Check the connector server system logs and check for memory usage etc.
