Q: Home Sync not working on Yosemite Clients

All,

In addition to Login Sync being broken:

The bigger nuisance for us is the keychain being locked for mobile accounts at login from a cold start.

(keychains of local accounts at login are unlocked, and keychains of mobile accounts from a warm start also unlocked at login).

Has anyone come up with a workaround?  We've looked at Keychain Minder and ADPassMon but no joy (we are using OD).

Is there a way at boot up to make a mac think someone has already logged in and then out before the login window shows?

Thanks for any ideas.

Are you using Kerberos? It seems like if you were, you would be having less trouble.

There is a little GUI Application called Ticket Viewer that can show you whether you have a valid Kerberos Ticket.

/System/Library/CoreServices/Ticket Viewer.app

I'm having the exact same issues and Kerberos works pretty fine for us, I think.

Same problem here: OD Server 10.7.5. Clients that sync fine <=10.9.5, Clients that only sync on logoff >=10.10. (including up to 10.11.3) Settings controlled by MDM (10.9.5 Clients by MCX)

On this Website: http://macosx.thebluebus.nl/portable_home_directory I found the commands to launch HomeFolderSync manually via command, things are looking up!

Up next:

Creating some sort of login script containing the command "/System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/Resources/HomeSync.app /Contents/MacOS/HomeSync -s" ...

I actually did get it to work under Yosemite. I have now turned off the dysfunctional sync at login and have replaced it with running an Apple Script when the user logs in. Sync at logoff is still controlled by Profile Manager.

... now the tests under El Capitan.
