Work Group Manager (10.6.8) not showing Mac Book 4,1 clients

Hi Folks,
Im having abit of an issue here after imaging 20 MacBooks (mostly 4,1 with some 3,1). I used Deploy Studio to image the cart of 25 machines. The wokflow has each machine binding to OD and AD. The issue is the MacBooks are not showing up in WGM so i can apply the MCX settings. Only two have shown up so far and these are both the MacBook3,1.
History:
I used the same image two weeks ago on 25 2009 MBP. This worked perfectly. All MBP showed up in WGM right away.MCX settings were applied and all is good.
Problems
When i imaged the Macbook cart i found the Ethernet and Aiport names had switched around so the Login Window Profile would not work as it was attached to the Ethernet adaptor. I had to go into each Macbook delete both the Ethernet and AirPort Interfaces, recreate them and add the 802.1x (Login Profile ot the AirPort) to each MacBook. We use Login Profiles so students are forced to user their own AD accounts and authenticates to our wifi at the same time.
I think the the only two MacBooks which did not have this issue were the 2 MacBook3,1, these are also the same two which showed up in WGM right away.
When trying to manually the MacBook's to WGM, WGM said there was a machine with that IP or MAC address already added. The thing is i cant see it anywhere. Im even plugged into the same subnet as the workstations and i cant see them.
I am wondering if there is any hardware related issues with the MacBook4,1 which are causing the issue. Also, i wonder because i had to delete around the Ethernet and Airport Adaptors if this caused the issue. Yet I dont know how to fix it.
Is there a hidden file or Databse i can find the Hostnames and delete them, then re add them?
Troubleshooting:
Inspector is turned on.
I have disjoined and rejoined the MacBooks (a sample) to OD and another OD at another campus
Tried to manually add the cleints
Reboot
Manually added the MCX settings, but they are wiped out each time i log out and back in again.
Tried accesing WGM from different OSX servers and OSs, 10.6, 10.8.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Adding Devices to Work Group Manager Issues

When I want to add a group of computers to work group manager. Only half of them add with out issue. The other half freeze the application. One thing I noticed is the MAC addresses of the Macs that have the issue do not show up. After I manually type in the MAC addresses it works.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Yeah I have and they told me to wait til midnight california time (I am in Australia). So I did and its still not resolved and support is now closed. I am trying to get everything set up asap as we will have a massive workload.

Command line equivalent of Work Group Manager's export feature

Hello everyone,
I am have a hard time upgrading from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server, especially with Open Directory. What I wish to do, is to import the existing users and groups of an existing server running Lion Server into a new (fresh) Open Directory master created on another server that is running Mountain Lion Server.
I have tried several options. Those that did *not* work for me include:
Trying to make create a replica of the Lion Open Directory on the Mountain Lion Server
Trying to backup the OD of the Lion Server using slapconfig
What seems to work (for the moment), is to use the export feature of Work Group manager on Lion and to import the users/groups using the import feature of Mountain Lion Server app.
My question is: is there a command line way to do the export ? Since Work Group manager seems to be kind of deprecated in ML, I assume there must be some other way (i.e., from the command line) to do the user/group import and export.
Thanks for your help !

Notice that the old Archive and Restore options are gone. To run a backup, run the slapconfig command along with the -backupdb option followed by a path to a folder to back the data up to:
sudo slapconfig -backupdb /odbackups
To restore a database (such as from a previous version of the operating system where such an important option was actually present) use the following command (which just swaps backupdb with -restoredb)
sudo slapconfig -restoredb /odbackups
/usr/sbin/ServerBackup -cmd backup -source /

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

Work Group Manager Reports and Logs

Mac Manager maintains logs and display current activity information somewhat different that Work Group Manager. With Mac Manager we are able to quickly report for Activity Log, Disk Usage, Connected Machines, Printer Quotas, Workgroup by User, Computers, Checked Out Computers and user activity.
How can we duplicate such a report with Work Group Manager?
We are a school district that is 88% Macintosh and miss the reports and logs feature in Mac Manager (10.3.9).
Hope to hear and find a solution to this challenge.

OSX Server 10.7 work group manager duplicating printers is OSX 10.7 MBP 15"

Hello Everyone,
I run the mac environment for a K-12 school. We use open directory and work group manager to manage the environment. Its always worked great up until we got our new Macbook Pros, and now our managed printers are duplicating everytime a network user logs in.
Its crazy. 3 logins has resulted in 9 printers being pushed to the machine. Any ideas?
OSX Server build 11g63 managing Client OSX Build 11g63b.
Regards,
Carl

I think I resolved the issue by deleting the offending printers off the xserve and re-adding them 1 at a time.
Then i opened up OD/WGM and added the printers to the managed printers list 1 at a time. I'd add one, login to the client machine 3 times to make sure it stopped replicating, and move on to the next printer.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

DACP commands are not working on Ipv6 enabled Airplay ITune service on MAC book.

DACP commands are not working on Ipv6 enabled Airplay ITune service on MAC book.
As we have gone through the source code(Airplay
Audio POSIX receiver v190.9.p6) in dnssd_clientshim.c file and in API DNSServiceGetAddrInfoResponse has provided the implementation for ipv4 only.
The test setup to test the DACP over IPV6 is by disabling the IPV4
from MAC book and only enabling the Ipv6 .
We are not sure if the test procedure is correct, please clarify the same.

Hi,
It is because of the license. In WS-C3750X-48P-L, you have a LANBASE license whereas in WS-C3750X-24P-S you have an IPSERVICES license.

In a LANBASE license, ip routing and ip multicast commands are not supported.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Please also double check the size of the photograph in AD, make sure the size not overtake 48 pixels by 48 pixels, as it has a serious limitation on the size and resolution of the photos: the thumbnailPhoto attribute can only hold a photograph with
a maximum size of 48 pixels by 48 pixels.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.
