Q: Mavericks network homes

Hmm..... Let's try do another thing, see if it make any differenece....

Try adding the following lines to the original script.

Those lines should come after the line with the 'umount -f' command (meaning those new lines will be lines 4-6)

do shell script "echo $'dscacheutil -flushcache' >> /Users/logouthook" with administrator privileges

do shell script "echo $'networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled Ethernet off' >> /Users/logouthook" with administrator privileges

do shell script "echo $'networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled Ethernet on' >> /Users/logouthook" with administrator privileges

The first line clears the dns cache

The second and third lines are just turning the Ethernet off and then on again

Note that the second and third line will only work if the connection in System Preferences->Network actually called Ethernet.

If it's not, just change the name accordingly, this is case-sensitive.

For example, I'm using Macbook Pro without ethernet port, so under Network preferences I have USB Ethernet,

So for the above code to work I need to write it like this:

do shell script "echo $'networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled USB\ Ethernet off' >> /Users/logouthook" with administrator privileges

(I've used a backslash, if you remember our talk about spaces)

Again,

I would suggest copy-paste the whole code to AppleScript Editor on a clients computer, and run it (before saving it as Application) to see that it runs without problems.

And Hector, just for the sake of checking,

Would you mind trying to log in as network user A, then network user B, then network user A again,

But this time, try using network users who have different mail providers (for example, network user A have gmail account and network user B have yahoo account).

I want to see if it has anything to do with the fact that both are using the same mail provider.

Cheers.

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.
