Some OD accounts can’t configure PHD sycning, and one doesn’t sync at login/out.

Hello all,

I’m running into an odd (and frustrating) issue with a couple of users I’m trying to set up on PHD’s.

Have you ever heard of a user:

– being able to select “Create Mobile Account”, but not click the “Configure” button next to it?
– being able to sync manually just fine, but not at login and logout? Periodic syncs work just fine.
– both?

One user has only the first problem, which we were able to work around by manually launching the HomeSync menu extra and editing plists, but the other’s system / account are exhibiting both.

They’re both bound to an OD server (which also hosts other perfectly functional accounts), with home directories on an OS X Server machine (which also hosts other perfectly functional home directories), using Tiger clients on their systems (which I’ve been able to successfully use other accounts on). None of the accounts are set to have any of their syncing preferences managed in WGM at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind, another channel answered this one for me. For reference:

There appears to be a bug where if the mobile account is the only *VISIBLE* admin on the system, the configure button is disabled.

Also, sync-at-login/out is determined by if ~/Library syncing is enabled.
