hi and help pleasevwith Profile Manager

[mikeo1]

Hello everyone i am new to edugeek so be nice :-)

 

I have configured and set up profile manager and all was working, now I have the machines managed and then also the staff and pupils user groups, the machines is everything like restrictions programs etc, and the user groups is just the mapped drives they get when they login. Problem is, since setting it up I have moved the storage to a new location, and have to change the mapped drives for the staff and pupils user group, which I have done, but the profile will not push to the user groups, if I make a change to the machines it pushes straight away but not the user groups, so in short every time a user logs in they get the old drives, even though they are set to get the new drives.

 

It’s a little issue, but a massive problem.

Hi

We are always nice

Can you give a bit more info - what flavour of server you have, have you moved the storage to another server etc

As @witch has said - we're all really friendly here, so give us a bit more info and we'll help out.

 

I'm guessing as you've mentioned profile manager that you're running a Mac environment, is that right?

[mikeo1]

It’s a mac mini server running yosemite, managing 17 imacs also running yosemite. 10.10.3

 

The server is linked to active directory, the storage drives are shares on the windows network, which I can connect to from the macs and manage under the profile manager, but the profile will then not push out to the macs.

Ah - ok, I've not used Yosemite in this context yet, so not sure what the issue could be.

 

Have you checked the obvious things like trying to manually mount the storage shares from the Macs?

[mikeo1]

yes, there is no problem with the shares, it’s the profile for user groups will not push to the macs, but the profiles for the mac groups will, problem is the user groups overwrite the mac groups so I need to get them pushing.

I'm out of ideas I'm afraid! I've not really played around with Profile Manager apart from in a lab on 10.9!

[mikeo1]

ah well thanks for trying

@Mike01 I have moved this to the MAC forum as there might be people there who can help
