I got this to work so for anyone else wondering: Chose a domain controller. Start->Services.msc Go to "Computer Browser" and start the service.

I guess you could have the script remove and add printers at login, not used the Lpadmin command to do it but apple support pages makes it look easyish to accomplish, sure that won't be true though. Will have a go later Must be picking up the managed preferences from somewhere though. Are you using Workgroup Manager, Profile Manager or something else? Are you applying them at the user or computer level? Try clearing the mcx cache https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201913 might not do anything but worth a try.

It picks up the Home Folder location from the AD, how do you have it formatted? No real reason a particular combination shouldn't work. Could you be more specific when you say "not correctly"? Also, what version of OS X? Have you un ticked "Force local home directory on startup disk" in the Direct Utility app?

Got it loaded up this morning. Feels a lot more native and the more I hunt around the more I like the interface changes. Took me a couple of goes to get past the Outlook office 365 login and not sure about having One Drive being the default save.

The Preview for Office Mac 2016 is out to download Microsoft Office for Mac, Apple http://i.imgur.com/T4wXgMg.jpg

For the Yosemite macs that are hanging for me, pressing ALT (option key) during boot and then selecting the startup disk seems to get past it hanging. Don't know if re blessing the startup disk would have the same effect.

Great, looks like you're close. With regards to the script; Copy (and paste) it exactly to the terminal. The cursor will sit on done. Press Enter/Return It will run and delete all printers Like so http://i.imgur.com/ODWy5p5.png You can also use the "Send Unix Command" in Remote Desktop and run as root and just to be thorough From the CUPS page: Administration Manage Printers Click on the printer (Queue Name) Maintenance Dropdown on the left and Choose Delete Printer on the right. Delete Printer, user name as pass and then it should be gone.

I think it's a software issue as well, so on the CUPS page when you click on Manage Printers it's empty? Bit odd if they're showing up in the print dialog. When you are on that System Info(.app) page. A bit further down, There should me Managed Client. Does it show them there? You can just paste this into Terminal (and press return) or run it from Remote Desktop #!/bin/bash lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}' | while read printer do echo "Deleting Printer:" $printer lpadmin -x $printer done

Ah, ok, I misread your post when you said the printers did show in Word (but didn't let you actually print). My brain ignored the important bit :s I'd remove the managed preferences from the client machine Go to /Library/Managed Preferences and just delete all the files and/or Go to http://localhost:631/admin and delete the printers there. How are you setting the printers, through WGM or Profile Manager or something else? If yes, which version of OS X is your server? I assume you removed and re added them on the server before pushing them out again? Couldn't hurt to flush the DNS on the client as well. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202516 I'm sure I have a script here to remove all printers, easier if you have lots of machines, let me see if I can find it.

Perhaps I'm over simplifying this but, why do you need to see them in System Preferences? If they show up when you go to print then surely it's all fine. No? It's always been that way for me when printers have been 'deployed' with workgroup manager and profile manager

Not sure about wincutter but when I send window share links to Mac users it's smb://server/share/folder or smb://server/share/folder/nameoffile.txt

This is they way I'd go as well. At home I use an Airport Express and it hasn't let me down (famous last words).

Yes, here's the admin guide https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/4.0/#/apdC36C9994-1533-4DCB-9CFF-870CB0FADCDB edit/beaten to it

You can use iCloud on a Windows or Linux machine. The staff do here, various routes from iPad to Mac to Windows etc. I agree the incompatible version is a bit annoying/strange. Have had to deal with it a couple of times.

You could always just open the file at https://www.icloud.com The online versions of pages, number, keynote work quite well enough.

There isn't a setting but you could try custom profiles. File you need is /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist I couldn't get it to work but maybe you'll have more luck. N.B. I took the screenshot before I deleted everything but the proxy settings. http://i.imgur.com/QjK9sFL.png

Is anyone else having this issue? On Mountain Lion and Mavericks I can see all the Windows machines in Finder when I click on All... or just there in the Shared section of the sidebar but on Yosemite (10.10.2) they don't show up. All the Mac (I guess bonjour) machines do. When I do Go->Connect to Server... The server I connect to show up in the sidebar or if I create a shortcut in the dock. Any ideas why they might not be showing in Finder normally or how I could fix it?

I agree with you, it sounds like they've got the wi-fi covered, is there any reason they want to change it? The neat thing about the about having Airport Extremes is that if you buy Airpot Express's they act as repeaters for the network. A 'cheap' way to flesh out the network. Simplest way for backups is to buy an external drive and attach it to the airport extreme. It will then act as a NAS and you can use it as a time machine target. I've been brief but if you need more info go ahead and ask

Oh, fun and games ensued today, the process is comically bad and I actually felt really bad for the people trying to help me but, The number is 0800 912 7302 If anyone is an Apple direct customer, you might also try/need 0800 058 2222

I bought direct from Apple and also sent them my serial numbers but still can't seem to enrol devices. VPP and Enterprise seem to have no way of contacting the mysterious department. @Edu-IT it is indeed live http://i.imgur.com/TM9TMHu.png

Hi, Does anyone have a (UK) contact number for the Device Enrolment Program? I seem to be getting the run around on e-mail.

I would do one of 2 things. Just leave it. Eventually it should work, I think the user just needs to log onto that machine. I forget exactly the fix last time that happened. or Cancel the task and remove them manually. On the client /Library/Managed Preferences and just drag them to the trash

Great Glad that fixed it

In Finder, use the Go->Got to Folder and -> /Library/Logs/ProfileManager They're pretty verbose though so might not be that helpful. Does something stick out? I don't think you get the "configure" option when you have Device Management already enabled. My server not being on Yosemite though I feel I shouldn't assume too much. No, you can't remove it as such but you can reset it OS X Server: How to reset Profile Manager to its original state - Apple Support and you want the 'To reset Profile Manager and clear all data on Yosemite' bit

What error(s) do you get in the Logs? Assuming it's the same as 10.9, what happens when you try to start it via terminal sudo serveradmin start devicemgr?
