Hi,
I have Mountain Lion Server and I bound the Mac server with Active Directory Windows server, but when I go to Users in Server app on Mac I can't see the AD users and so I can't edit it. On Lion I have seen it.
Nothing help, update to 10.8.1, 10.8.2 even the newest update of Server app to 2.1.
Has anybody any Idea how can I see the AD users in Server app? I need it to change the Home folder, and thats only goes in Server app.
Thanks.
OS X Server
If the user account resides (is created) on the AD and you did not expand the AD schema with MCX fields, I doubt you can.
I suppose the only way is by using the Windows AD tooling.
Of course you also could try to rebind the Mac server with AD.
I try it to rebind but nothing happens.
In all manual is, when I see the users (to time I can't - probably Apple's bug), then I need to go top advance menu in Server app to change the home folder. But I try it in Lion (it should go too) and only a error was the answer. I try augment users, but nothing works like in the apple manuals ...
Have you try to change the home folder for AD users?
How can I expand the AD schema and what is it, how it's work?
Thanks.
First things first! In order to successfully bind your servers, first make sure:
I have DNS on AD server and is OK ant the time is OK too.
The clients can log on clients machines, but I have wrong home folders.
And this I need to change on Mac server with access to services too.
Hello, I having the same problem, just wondering if you ever got this resolve and if you did how?
Thanx!
Hi, after 2.2 update I see the AD users but I still have problems to make golden triangle where I can change home folders for apple users, that they are on mac.
are you using profile manager with it are you able to push profiles to the active directory users?
thnx for replying.
No I don't used it now and I haven't tested it.
I would like if I can give home folder to the AD users who work on macs.
you can no longer do this on a mac server as augmented records like that no longer work , there are changes to AD that can now make this happen
why get mac users to access different homes ,
I know that there isn't more support for augmented users ....
I tested that the home folders where on AD server but there where some problems with permissions and authorisations, but it works.
I would like to do it while mac beter works with owns data and permissions.
Server 10.8 Can't see AD users
