Mavericks Sleep/Wake Login Issue

@BaddMann

Not suggesting HUP'ing network is any better -- just wondering if our experiences align and trying to scope the issue.

Here is what I know to be effective in curbing this loginwindow amnesia...

HUP loginwindow: always works
HUP network: always works
HUP SecurityAgent: sometimes works
WOMP = false: appears to work! I have tried it on 15 machines, but they are all identical hardware...

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac12,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM121.0047.B1F
SMC Version (system): 1.71f22

If you have the time and inclination, to try setting WOMP to false on a vanilla machine, I would very much appreciate knowing if it has any effect.

Thanks!

Hi. I am interested in using your script as we are having the same issues here on our macs bound to an AD. I'm not too savvy with OSX just yet and I'm wondering how I can implement the script?

Many thanks.

We had almost the same problems and spend lots of hours in solving this. Obviously it was related to the power management settings as described by @rcarey912. We solved it by not allowing any sleep mode but display sleep. For now that's a very good workaround we can live with. And it's not really raising your energy costs if you schedule an auto power off as well as auto power on.

@mash3d3d Think that's not really a script. Try using the script from @rcarey912 via policy "once per computer" on "login" or "recurring check-in". This should work I think!

Cheers :)

Cheers!

Great. The script from @rcarey912 worked!

Thanks.

hey guys;

just checking if this has been fixed with the 10.9.5 update.

Had one teacher run the 10.9.5 update and still sees the issue.

From Centrify's Support, in Aug 2014: " This problem can also be duplicated using the native Apple AD Plugin"; so it's not a Centrify issue. ".....
At the time of writing there is no resolution. (only workarounds)

Centrify has filed Apple Bug ID #16131717 for this issue.
This bug was accepted by Apple and marked as a duplicate of Bug 1645729.

I've been running into this issue aswell with mavericks 10.9.5. Disabling womp appears to work but I'd need to test it further. Has anyone else been running into this issue and found another way to fix it? The script looks interesting but I'm not sure if it's feasible for lab macbooks. I've been seeing this when using the native Apple AD plugin btw. Any advice is much appreciated.

Anyone else seeing this with El Capitan? I've recently upgraded a bunch of iMacs to 10.11 and they seem to be having the exact same problem. You can log in fine from boot-up, but any Macs left around a while just freeze at login screen (and the username/password box just kinda dims a little but never disappears). Just had a reported that a whole room full exhibited the same behaviour.

I'd so far disabled all disksleep settings, etc (though hadn't disabled womp yet). Getting me down a bit this one.
