WIndows user can no longer log in.

Ok, here’s where I’m stuck. We no longer have our server (Running OSX Server 10.4.3), which serves as the Open Directory Master and the PDC for our Windows boxes( all running XP SP2), running DHCP services. We instead installed a Linksys RV016 router about 6 days ago and changed the servers static LAN IP to ‘.253’ instead of ‘.254’. After toying with the settings, we got everything working correctly. Our Mac and Windows boxes both could log in to their respective accounts. However, starting today, every time I try to long on to a windows machine I get an error message saying”Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile…… Detail – The format of the specified network name is invalid.
The thing is, we have an almost identical setup at another office not 1 block away, the only difference being that there is no external router and the server on that network is also the DHCP server. I have been poking around and trying to make a few tweaks that last 2 days, but as far as I know, I haven’t made any changes that would affect the Windows services. Also, the User Profile Paths have stayed the same. I have also noticed that I am getting a weird message in the “Windows File Service Log” saying:
[2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] pdbods.c:make_amod(2043)
makeamod: INVALID VALUE!!!
[2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-92.13/samba/source/rpcserver/srv_util.c:get_alias_usergroups(206)
getalias_usergroups: gid of user marketpc doesn't exist. Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
I figured that this has something to do with it, but I haven’t changed any of the group settings.
Please help me as I’m completely stumped and have no clue what to do.

Ok. I fixed it, long story short, the directory in which the user profiles were shared from became corrupted some how. By deleting the user profile in WGM and creating their home folder in a new share point, they can log in no problem. The fun part now is to figure out how this happened.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

Windows Users can no longer connect to Server

I have an Xserve configured to share via AFP and windows. It is running Open Directory as an Open Directory master. It is connected to a Windows Network that is worldwide, running in a specific subnet and domain. Recently, all the users I have configured on the machine have been migrated to a new Active directory server for their email accounts. I can connect and authenticate against the open directory using AFP, but can not connect using windows file sharing from a Windows computer, nor can I connect using SMB from a mac. Shouldn't the users be authenticating against the Xserve when trying to connect or is it passing off the authentication to another server? Do I need to move the Xserve to the new domain? (in other words, do I have to change its FQDN? )
thanks in advance,
Mike

I just had this same problem on my server. The only difference is it is an Xserve insted of a Mac Mini.
I restarted the whole operating systems and that appeard to have fixed the problem but I do not know what I cause was.
Did you figure anything out?

Can no longer log in to my computer

I searched but did not see this problem. I also posted this question the networking forum and i asked that it be removed as this seems like a better place for it.
I have 3 iMacs and several PC's in my signshop and we are bound by AD to the main PC serer and we connect via DHCP. One particular shared user can no longer log into her user from any of the iMacs. She just gets the shaking password window. But she can log into her shared user from any of the PC's. And we can all log into our shared users from her iMac.
Thins we have tried.
1. changed her password and that did not work.
2. renewed DHCP and that did not work.
3. disabled and re-enabled her acount and that didn't work.
Any advice? I will check this from work tomorrow if you need any info from the PC IT geeks
thanks!!

Thank you for the helpful tips below. I had pretty much given up deploying Leopard in my public labs until AD binding became more stable. With the 10.5.3 update, I have had stable logins/binding to AD from May 30th, when I applied the update to my 'image' client until this morning (6/20/08).
My setup is public labs in university. Mac clients use netboot for imaging and I have one OD Master server controlling client admistration (login window messages, etc.) All network accounts are via AD (MS Server 2003) with 3 Domain Controllers.
Could you please be a little more descriptive on some of your suggestions? for example:
Before you bind: #2 -- Make sure a reverse zone is populated.
Populated where? On the DC or the client?
Before you bind: #4 - Make sure round-robin ...
Where? On the DC or the client?
Before you bind: #7. Set a simple name in sharing...
This is good for individual client setup. I have a situation where I create one master image and push this master image via netboot out to the clients. All of my clients bind to AD with the same computer name, but the clients themselves have individual local host names.
If failure occurs: #1 - Use dscl to try and browse the domain.
On the DC or client?
If failure occurs: #3 - Use dirt to hammer the directory
Not sure if my AD sys admins would appreciate this without forewarning! I would appreciate any insight you could give to my questions as I am building new images for Fall 08 semester now and would love to deploy Leopard, but will not until I am positive Leopard/AD autentication is stable. If you would prefer (and have the time) to discuss this further via email, please email me at [email protected]

Since updating every time I click on something another window intrudes and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc) sites. What's happened and how do I sort it ou? It's become unusable

Since updating Firefox every time I click on something another site (v. dodgy looking) opens and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc.) sites, what has happened and how do I cure it? It's reached the point where I no longer use Firefox.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

Installed SAP Master and can no longer log into old xIEP portal

Hello there,
I am very new to SAP so please bear with me. We were experiencing J2EE Engine connection errors along with no connection to our SLD with our xIEP portal, so I tried to verify that all of our parameters were correct. I did this by checking prior documentation and opened up the SAP Master Installation and began to verify the settings for the current installation of NetWeaver 2004s that we have.
However at the end of the installation, I clicked on start and it began to install SAP Master. Now when we log into our xIEP portal, we can no longer log in with our user id and password, but are able to log in as Administrator.
I am afraid that when I installed the SAP Master, this might have replaced the old NetWeaver that our portal was running off of. Please tell me that this isn't true, and that somehow I can get access to our old portal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You might consider rebuilding the ECP virtual directory:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff629372.aspx
With the EMS, procedure should be the same for Exchange 2010 and 2013.
Since you state that everything else is working, other virtual directories included (OWA for ex.), it's most likely something with the ECP virtual directory.
But even before that, I would try to look at the (rather cryptic) IIS logs and see if you cannot find any useful information there:

Windows Users can access shares but Macs Can't

Running 10.8 on the server and here is the below problem I am having
1. Windows users can access the file shares read/write (even though they create permissions wrong, another day to takle that since I already tried ACL)
2. Macs running 10.8 and Mavericks
     Open the server in finder on a user machine. Can sometimes see the two share folders. Other times just get the spinning wheel.
     Now if you are so brave to click on the folder then finder will spin forever.
     It locks finder up so hard that you can't shut down the machine without holding the power button. Other programs will run just fine, it only affects finder.
I tried connecting from the mac with smb:// to see if it is an AFP issue but it just sits on connecting forever.
I looked through the logs and don't see anything. But my knowledge of logs is terrible.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Thom

i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail. right after opening up ichat, receive the following message: lost connection with jabber. the server has unexpectedly disconnected. how to troubleshoot? thanks.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?
I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi. When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage. You know, the green to blue switch. How does that association get undone?
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

That's standard. Has nothing to do with your issue. What happens when you try to log into a bank web site? What is the response?
