Question

Workgroup Manager no longer shows deactivated users

I am wondering if anyone else is noticing this behavior in Workgroup Manager 10.7.2 while accessing 10.6.8 Server. Essentially, it no longer shows the red circle with a line crossing through for the icon next to the user that indicated deactivated/activated status. I can still see if there is a checkmark in the Access Account box in the Basic tab for the user, but I can no longer quickly see at a glance the status of all of the users.

As I understand it, the ideal situation for the versioning of Server Admin Tools is to have the client OS to match, as closely as possible, to the Server OS. For example, if your server is 10.6.5, you'd like the client also running 10.6.5 and the Admin Tools should be 10.6.5. Info found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822

Since I am running client 10.7.2, Server Tools 10.7.2, and the server is 10.6.8, there is a good chance that is a limitation of the incompatability. However, I hope not.

Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue. We're running 10.5.8 server. In WGM, we have several users whose icons indicate that "Access Account" is not checked but in fact it is, and vice versa. They can access their account if the "Access Account" box is checked, and they are locked out if it is unchecked. So the checkbox is performing its function, but the icon next to the user is displaying the incorrect icon.

Changing the "Access Account" checkbox and saving temporarily changes the icon state until WGM is quit and then restarted. Once restarting all erroneous icons are back the way they were.

Is there perhaps a unix command that can be run to correct this. It seems like there is just a flag somewhere that's not getting updated.

This is old but I'm going to bump it anyway. Still having the issue. Any help is appreciated.
