Windows Services don't show as started in Server Manager

Server manager does not show Windows services as being started on one of our xserves - although Samba is up and operational just fine.
Even after re-starting the server after we moved a month or so ago it has not shown windows as being started. Samba came up ok after reboot with no intervention.
Here's the processes and PIDs:
xserve1:/var/run root# more smbd.pid
853
xserve1:/var/run root# ps ax | grep 853
8432 p2 R+ 0:00.00 grep 853
xserve1:/var/run root# more nmbd.pid
24215
xserve1:/var/run root# ps ax | grep 24215
24215 ?? Ss 0:16.63 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
8441 p2 R+ 0:00.00 grep 24215
Not sure how to recalibrate Server Manager to recognise that the service is actually running.
Any clues?
Thanks,

That happened to me after the update to 10.4.4 and the issue was that somehow com.apple.smbd got set back to start in launchctl.
To see if this is your issue, run this command
Code:
ps alx | grep mbd
You will probably notice that there are not just one each of SMBD and NMBD but one of them has 2 processes. In my case it was like this
0 10269 1 0 31 0 30664 328 - S ?? 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
0 10275 1 0 31 0 28464 684 - Ss ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
0 10277 10275 0 31 0 28452 184 - S ?? 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
501 10284 1959 0 31 0 27820 4 - R+ p1 0:00.00 grep mbd
Your post about smbd.pid being the 'wrong' one is the hint that this is going on.
So next run this
Code:
sudo launchctl list
and if you see in that list this
org.samba.smbd
you have the same issue. So to stop this I ran a GUI program called Lingon to unload and disable the offending plist (called smbd.plist in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons) but I think you can run the following to do the same thing
Code:
sudo launchctl unload -w org.samba.smbd

  • Tags from 'Comments' field in Windows Explorer don't show up in iTunes

    I have thousand of files where I allready put tags directly in the comments field in the files proberties in Windows Explorer, but the tags don't show up in iTunes comments field?
    I can then manually put tags directly in iTunes comments field and they will not show up in the proberties of the files in Windown Explorer!
    So I ask, why on earth aren't those fields (in iTunes and in Windows Explorer) compatible, when all other fields (for example name, artist, year) are compatible?

    Okay, thanks for replies and for your time, but the problem continues.
    First: I've ripped CD's in different ways (before starting to use iTunes). I've used Nero, Windows Media Player, Lame and imported mp3 files directly from the internet. Some files have been through Flash Renamer and TigoTago. After importing the files I've tagged them with comments and other stuff directly in Windows Explorer. And then I decided to use iTunes because of buying iPods and playing music through AirPort Express.
    What I've tried to right now:
    I've tried to check files with MP3Val, but it said the files were OK.
    Then I tried - with another laptop - to install I new iTunes program (English language to be sure and there after I imported/ripped a new CD using iTunes to import. Before importing I put a tag in the Comments field in iTunes and it never showed up in Windows Explorer Comment field. I also tried after that to put tags directly in Windows Explorer Comment field and add the files once again to iTunes library, but again, no comments in iTunes. Also again put tags in iTunes, but no tags in Windows Explorer.
    Then I did more or less the same using Realplayer to import the CD, but with the same negative results.
    *Then I went back to my old laptop, imported a CD using iTunes and then tagged the comment field in Windows Explorer and suddenly I got comments in iTunes! But the comments look like this: "00000000 00000210 000008E8 0000000000775908 00000000 0040E5E1 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000".*
    I don't know what to do with this?
    And apparently, it's only when importing new files using iTunes to rip the CD, that this happens. Otherwise, nothing happens at all.

  • Questions about Windows services on a OS X 10.3 server

    Hi! I'm wanting to configure an OS X 10.3 server to participate in a Windows workgroup so I can share a directory on the server that the Windows machine can use as a backup drive, of sorts. I've got only ONE Windows box in an all-Mac network. The ultimate goal is to provide an automated backup solution for the Windows machine. I would like the Windows user to copy their files to the server so the scheduled Backup running on the server will backup their files, along with the rest of the files that are backed up to iDisk.
    So, I'm thinking I can use the Windows service on the OS X server to provide the backup directory/folder the Windows machine will map to a local windows drive, making it easy to copy files to the target backup area.
    I've got AFP, OpenDirectory (I think), and Windows service as the only services running on the OS X server. I've got the Windows service setup as a standalone server with the correct workgroup name and the Windows machine is setup with the same workgroup as the server. The Windows machine is running Windows XP.
    I've got the Windows service setup to act as the workgroup browse master and I do NOT have WINS enabled.
    Now for my questions:
    When I view the workgroup on the server in the "Network" area of Finder, I see nothing. When I view the workgroup on the Windows machine, I only see the Windows machine. On the server, I turned on the Windows service log and noticed only SMBD was starting, not NMBD. I presume this is why the server can't "see" the Windows machine and vice-versa, correct?
    I've read the following threads:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2358362&#2358362
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4132419&#4132419
    and it looks like I need to create an account for the Windows user on the OS X server and I'm thinking I need to use the "Workgroup Manager" for that, right?
    There are no passwords for the Windows accounts that would be connecting to the same backup area on the server. Will I be able to create accounts without passwords on the server for these users or will I be required to specify a password for when the Windows machine connects to the server?
    This is my first time configuring an OS X server like this so please excuse my elementary questions.
    Thanks!
    Peace...

    You need to make sure the shortname in workgroup manager is the same as the logon name when you create the drive on the PC.
    Personally i'd do it all over IP. On the PC goto Run, and type \\ip address of server\sharename. It should then ask for a UN/PW, this is what you've entered into workgroup manager, and should be the shortname.
    That should then give you the drive.
    To map it so its always there when they log-in, goto my computer and map network drive, making sure you click the link that says 'use a different account to connect'

    Kindly,
    Edited by: kashif, pakistan on Sep 23, 2011 12:12 AM

    first create the AdminServer_service
    then the managed Server
    try and check it :
    SETLOCAL
    rem
    rem
    set DOMAIN_NAME=YourDomain
    set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\YourDomain
    rem
    set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
    rem for managed_server :
    rem set SERVER_NAME=YOUR_MANAGED_SERVER_NAME
    rem
    set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
    rem
    set WLS_USER=weblogic_user
    set WLS_PW=your_pwd
    rem
    set MEM_ARGS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    set JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
    set JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26
    rem
    rem
    rem
    rem maybe, you need to set more env-parameter,
    rem you can runt this before call installSvc.cmd
    rem call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\YourDomain\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd"
    rem
    rem
    call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"
    echo .
    pause
    ENDLOCAL
    if it fails , you can de-install the service
    and make a new one
    SETLOCAL
    set DOMAIN_NAME=YourDomain
    set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
    rem for managed_server :
    rem set SERVER_NAME=YOUR_MANAGED_SERVER_NAME
    rem
    echo DOMAIN_NAME = %DOMAIN_NAME%
    echo SERVER_NAME = %SERVER_NAME%
    pause
    call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\uninstallSvc.cmd"
    echo .
    pause
    ENDLOCAL
    if you want to start your Windows-Host
    with first the AdminServer-Service
    and after that the Managed_Server_Service
    you need to edit the / your own installSvc.cmd
    in the row %WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install ......
    with
    -depend:beasvc YourDomain_AdminServer - wait for adminserver
    -delay:180000 - delay 3 min to start the managed_server_service

  • Itms-services: don't show hostname during installation?

    We have an enterprise app that we install over the air.  We created an html file with an itms-services link that points to our plist file:
        <li><a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://www.ABCinc.com/APCAPP.plist">
                    Install ABCAPP iPhone Application</a></li>
    When the user clicks on this link an AlertView pops up asking:
    www.ABCinc.com would like to install "ABCAPP"
    with Cancel and Install buttons in the alertview.
    I'd very much like to remove the hostname(www.ABCinc.com), or use a generic name like:   ABC would like to install "ABCAPP"  -OR-  "Install ABCAPP"
    I've been unable to find any documentation about the itms-services URL or the plist file that would allow me to make this change.  Has anyone successfully done this?

    Ok, I did it, and I am still unable to access the enterprise manager, I have the same behavior, but I don't understand why when I stop all the services with the opmnctl command and the start them again, don't have problem with the EM, past about two weeks and then I only get a blank screen when I call the EM.
    What more can i do in order to fix this problem?
    thanks in advance,

  • I cannot see my iPod in my iTunes or in Computer in Windows 7, but it shows up in the Device Manager

    I am running Windows 7 and have had no problems with with the 3 iPods we connect, but as of a couple days ago, the computer will no longer recognize them. Other USB devices (flash drives and Android phone) have no problem being recognized. Additionally, if I have my iPod plugged in before I start iTunes, my laptop will not open iTunes until I unplug my iPod. My laptop will also not shut down if my iPod is plugged in, and will only shut down if I unplug it. It will recognize that my iPod is plugged in and connected (it lights up and charges), but does not show up in the My Computer. The iPod is recognized in Device Manager.  Also, when I unplug any of the iPods, it will show up for just a second in the My Computer before disappearing. I have tried the following:
    Restart computer
    Uninstall/reinstall iTunes and all Apple programs
    Renaming for a higher drive (Other drives aren't in E: drive)
    Putting anti-virus programs on my computer and doing a full-scan
    Disk defragment
    Deleting Temp folder (I have stopped all programs on my laptop and it still won't let me)
    Stopped iTunes/Apple services and re-enabled them
    Updating Driver Software
    Please Help

    have had no problems with with the 3 iPods we connect, but as of a couple days ago, the computer will no longer recognize them.
    The problem is with ALL of the iPods, at the same time?  Are they are shuffles?
    It is unlikely that three iPods would go bad at the same time, so the other possibilities are bad USB cable, the bad USB port on computer, or a software issue on computer?
    If these are different types of iPods and you are using different USB cables, that probably rules out bad USB cable.  Since the iPod is recognized by the computer and other devices are recognized, that probably rules out a problem with the USB port.  So, that leave a software issue on computer as the most likely cause.
    Did you install any new software (or change the setting of software) on the computer at the time this problem started, particularly something that runs continuously in the background, such as security software?
    You've trying uninstalling and re-installing Apple software.  Is there a way you can disable other third-party software systematically?

  • Add-ons don't show up in add-on manager

    When I go to Tools > Add-ons, the page does not work in the following ways:
    * Clicking on Extensions yields a blank frame
    * Clicking on Get Add-ons displays "Loading..." and it never completes
    * Clicking on Appearance yields a blank frame
    * Doing a search always finds nothing
    I tried following the steps outlined here: (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941626?esab=a&as=aaq), which are deleting extensions.* and compatibility.ini, but that did not help.

    Awesome, got it fixed.
    I followed ideato's advice above, and everything worked. Except for some reason my browsing session wasn't there--probably my fault for failing to copy one of the files properly.
    But anyway, that gave me an idea. So in my existing profile, I deleted some extensions that I thought might be problematic from the extensions/ directory and then deleted the following files:
    * addons.sqlite
    * addons.sqlite-journal
    * extensions.ini
    * extensions.log
    * extensions.sqlite
    * pluginreg.dat
    After deleting these files, I started my default profile. Firefox found my extensions and asked me if I wanted to install them -- which I did -- and then everything worked fine again.
    Thanks!

    Hi Wael,
    Can you please specify, What do u mean by Application Doesn't start? Is it Moving to PREPARED State Rather than ACTIVE state? Or the Application Health is not OK? Are you seeing any Warning or Error Message while starting the Server related to Deployment?
    As the Production Mode is On...So I just wanted to confirm that By Mistake have u used the AutoDeploy feature to deploy Applications...Because the AutoDeploy Feature Doesn't Work in Production_Mode=true.
    After Configuring the Windows Service Have you tried to Deploy the Application Freshly? Was it Successful?
    Thanks
