Mavericks network homes

All running well in upgrade apart from one little issue.

When a network user logs into any computer on the network all goes well until he logs off. To the user he has logged of but the server still keeps him logged on.

This is an issue if he then tries to log onto another computer, where he finds that mail etc does not work because the last computer has his network home.

If he restarts the computer this releases the Network home or if I log in as admin perform the command

/sbin/umount -f /Network/Servers/mx.anyserver.co.uk/Volumes/Server/HomesUsers

So Help tried a logout script but that does not work.

Set up several test servers and each time this issue occurs.

the client (10.9) does not logout properly

Please help very important.

Last question to Apple do you test your software this was an obvious fault.

Hi AMI289,

I tried the above and it made no difference for me. It still asked for passwords for calendar and mail until restarted.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late reply.

Would you mind logging in as a network user A, then go to Finder->Utilities->Keychain Access and see where the user passwords are being saved (aka in which keychain) and post it back here.

And then log in as network user B and do the same.

And then, log in as network user A again, and check the keychain to see if any passwords from before appear there?

Cheers.

Hi AMI289,

We found a post where the problem was the internal ethernet adapter and the fix was using a USB to ethernet adapter. MacStadium replied saying they use the USB adapter a lot for the fix that they are having and we wanted to know if you think this could be related to any of our issues. Here is a link to the post: Mavericks and Failed ARP causing network drops! Thanks again for all of your help.

Hi Guys just set up Fresh install with Server 4 and with a Yosemite Client It still fails to Log out what can I say on a plus side you can disconnect SMB logins now ( A sarcastic great ).

Over 12 months with this Apple you should be ashamed I have lost one valuable customer due to the issue being my fault not Apples, get off the phone and sort your servers because if you don't businesses will eventual look at Windows/Linux and their PC/Phone/Tablet integration (they are slowly catching up) and once again you will fail.

Not everyone can afford an IBM solution and todays smb is tomorrows mega corp.
