Ye, the same here as well but it seems to have settled down now. All clients and the server have been rebooted since, so maybe that helped

There's probably some Windows script to do it but I couldn't write it for you. You'd have to do it for each user (~/Library) manually otherwise. Couldn't hurt to try it out on a 1 or 2 users that are having problems.

Don't know if this will apply to you but I had a very similar problem recently. Turned out Apple Push Notifications (APN) had turned itself off. Without anyone touching the server. Turning it on and a quick off and on of profile manager seemed to bring it back to life

For the users that can't do you get any obvious errors? For those users do they have the correct home path in Directory Utility? Unless you're using Mobile Accounts, cache shouldn't be a problem. To be honest I found it easier just to wipe (_old) the Library file when I initially had similar issues. Are they all the same version of OS X?

Check them out in directory utility, might show the problem http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mac/141311-ad-od-user-folder-default-save.html

To redirect home folders you need to set the AD binding settings as below. You don't need to bind clients to the Open Directory but you do need to enrol them into Profile Manager. I'm not actually sure of the nuance there but there you go. http://i.imgur.com/XsKXfMG.png You can use AD groups in Profile Manager (I do). Bind your server to the AD (using directory utility) and they will be available to you in profile manager. Side note:If you're deploying multiple machines I'd look into Deploy Studio. Took me a while to start using it but it's great. Also get Apple Remote Desktop

Resetting profile manager works fine, never any particular issues doing it. I would though, just wipe the server and start again. After many OS and Server.app upgrades, I've just started from scratch and everything is running so much smoother. I realise of course this is easy to say having a familiarity with OS X. You 'just' need to go into System Preferences, remove the Profiles and then enrol the machines into your new Profile Manager. They (machine settings) will still work without profile manager running though so don't feel you need to rush to remove them. I am currently doing the same, so if you have any burning questions, ask away.

Royal is what I used, works great apart from the keyboard layout (never works properly with and Apple Keyboard)

Hope you don't mind a curiosity question. Just because I haven't used it, is there any particular advantage of using Configurator and Profile Manager? Rather than just Profile Manager on it's own.

Yes. Went over to Yosemite in the summer but could never solve all the issues with mail.app. El-Capitan seems to work perfectly (famous last words...)

What happens when you use another browser?

I've never used Configurator so can't help you there. I just use profile manager to setup devices, so I don't know how they interact. (You might want to leave it out of the process to make sure profile manager is working). Profile manager help: The certificate thing is fine, it always seems to moan about that. Did you install any profiles 'manually' from the profiles tab or did it just run through them when you hit 'enrol'? No idea about the time, it's usually fairly quick but I think parts of profile manager are a mysterious black hole. Kill the task. Sounds like it's enrolled. See if you can push out a setting.

When you say "I can push a profile...", do you mean via Configurator? Actually, I'll assume yes. On the device go to http://yourmacserver.domain.com/mydevices Tap the Enroll button and see if it enrols. Depending on your setup you may need to choose the Profiles tab on the same page and install the Trust Profile. Try without first.

Talkingmoose has a solution. Works quite well https://github.com/talkingmoose/Outlook-Exchange-Setup-5.0 Forum Discussion here

I'm in a relatively small school so I deleted and recreated all the users (created the home folder in Windows, and then the Library folder on Mac). It solved all the issues I was having with user slowness/crashing. Office 2016 never got better so we're back on 2011 and all is well
