MacOS Sierra mobile profiles

Hi all

I just upgraded my MacBook to Sierra. I used before mobile profiles. Now I don't get any sync on my Mac server more.

What I found:

https://support.Apple.com/en-GB/HT206871

That means usually only it not there isn´t is possible to store centralized user directories more? It looks like, but this means generally that is missing an important feature of the server.

Historically there are / were four types of user account.

  1. Only one local user account (stored locally not linked to a directory server)
  2. Login to network Home Directory (stored only on the server, connected to a directory server)
  3. Connection of portable home directory (both stored locally on a server and automatically synchronized, linked to a directory server)
  4. Mobile home connection directory (stored only locally synchronized, linked to a directory server)

As far as I can see only option 3 above now is no longer supported, the other three options are possible so option 2 would be to store it all centrally.

Note: Unfortunately, there are several major bugs in OS X.app affecting the telephone network. These bugs have been known for several years and all indications are that they are still not set in the Sierra and.app 5.2. It is still possible to use this configuration, but you can meet these bugs. Some of the worst aspects affect only using Apple Mail, Contacts and calendar. Other programs are much less affected by these problems.

PS. While Apple is no longer supply their own synchronization of directory under option 3, it is theoretically possible to create your own, for example by running a regular process of rsync between 'local' directory and a location on a server.

  • Unable to Scan to the computer after downloading macOS Sierra. Is this a software problem?

    How can I scan from HP Envy 4500 to computer after downloading macOS Sierra?

    Hello wdemetris,

    Thanks for asking for scanning helps here in the Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have access to your scanner and am happy to offer help for this.

    As a precaution, we always recommend that you have backups to make sure that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Then, in accordance with article help: printer and scanner for Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks macOS software, the HP Envy 4500 e-all-in-one is supported for printing and scanning. The drivers must be installed, but if not, if it please go to the App Store and check the updates tab to see if there are updates for HP. If there is, please install.

    If you have only general questions about how to get your updated scanner in place or how to scan pictures, please check out these two articles: macOS Sierra: implement a scanner & macOS Sierra: scan images or documents. If everything is configured correctly and you still have problems scanning, please visit this help article: macOS Sierra: scanning troubleshooting.

    Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • macOS Sierra upgrade questions

    Problems of bad battery life updated since El Capitan with macOS Sierra. "100% charged drains battery fast on Sierra for 2-3 hours only. Before the mac update OS Sierra, he could stay for 8-9 hours,". If we installed macOS Sierra and noticed that the battery life is empty very quickly on MacBook Air/Pro, iMac etc, please help me to solve the problem of this problems.

    Hey there,

    Nothing but hurt. It is a common problem in the Sierra. One of the reasons, you must take off the coast about obtaining the latest software. It can be a bit much. If I remember correctly, they do not have the issues of EL CAP battery until le.3 ou.4 updated. (this is the solution that allowed the 8-9) I would recommend just downgrading to El Cap, as I can't imagine that the loss in the life of the battery is useful for siri.   Just my 2 cents.

  • Bootcamp in macOS Sierra

    Hello

    I'm using bootcamp on macOS Sierra (on MacBook Air 2015) and had installed Windows 10.

    I don't know if I can ask this group, but I think that the problem is a problem of bootcamp.

    When I turn on the computer to start Windows under bootcamp, it cannot generally go through the procedure of full boot with the following symptom:

    the keyboard light would not turn

    bootcamp icon does not respond (popup list will not display if I click on it) - I can't do anything to return to Mac OS

    the computer can still run other programs under Windows but only I can't switch back to Mac OS when the above symptoms appears - this is why I believe that it is related to the bootcamp rather than windows.

    I need to restart Windows, sometimes for a few times until everything seems normal again.  Sometimes I have to stop completely, then put up the start to be normal.

    Someone at - it the same experience?  Is that what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you for your help.

    You have BC6 drivers installed on Windows? Is there an element of Bootcamp in Panel configuration or the system tray?

I tried to uncheck the 'Jobs' and Documents and "iCloud Drive" in System Preferences, but it left my completely empty folder documents and deleted all the contents of my office.

    I panicked because all my documents had disappeared from my computer then I reactivated "iCloud drive" and it is now restore all documents that it removed from my computer.

  • Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

    Hey all

    After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

    I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

    There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

    The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

    What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:

    If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

    Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

    If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

    If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

    If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

    1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
    2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
    3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

    If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

    Take care.
