Can't add new users in Server Admin console in Server 10.1.4.

I've run into an issue with an older OS X Server 10.1.4 running on a G4 platform. It functions as a shared file repository and I need to add new users. However, it would appear that I've developed a problem.
When trying to add new users I get the following error:
An error occurred in the Users & Groups module in entry point "RACMMenuItemSelected".
A program error has occurred.
1004
Now, my best guess is it's a corruption somewhere. But, I don't want to go poking around the production server taking it down and up until I've got some idea where I'm going. Any suggestions on where my troubles might be? Or has anyone had this issue before, and how was it corrected? (Hopefully not by a full software reload.)
I'd like to replace/upgrade this server, but until there's money in the budget, that's just a dream, I need to try to figure out how to fix what's here.
Help, please?
PowerBook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5G RAM

No answer was found for this issue. I've finally removed the server from production and will likely reformat and reinstall for use in other production areas. Hopefully we'll be upgrading the OS at the same time.

Master Data Services - Can not add new User and MDS can not Identify LOCAL Users

Team,
We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 and system working since long and suddenly we observed mentioned two issues. The server MyServer is already restarted but did not help. The MDS installed and configured on SAME Machine (MyServer).
I have two issues here.
1. MDM website can not Identify the local Users (MyServer\MyUser).
The User created on local Machine (MyServer\MyUser). I logged into MDM website using Admin login and click on User and Permission. Then I click on add and Text box appears to type UserName. Here I type "MyServer\MyUser" (MyServer\MyUser is already
exists and working since long). Then click checkName; I received a message "No exact Match was found for MyServer\MyUser". Where as User from OTHER domain identified in MDM but could not identify ONLY the local users like "MyServer\MyUser".
2. Can not add new user in Existing working MDM.
I created windows user on machine (MyServer\MyUser1) and add it in UserGroup having an access to MDM. and then I tried to login to MDM using newly created user (MyServer\MyUser1) ; I see error Access Is Denied. The Permission assigned to UserGroup (not
to individual user). The new User (MyUser1) should automatically get added in MDM once logged in. This is working for existing users in UserGroup; BUT NOT ONLY for new user (MyUser1).

Now I Solved this problem in my case.
I just grant again all permissions according http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff486994.aspx. Now all work fine.
Hope, it will help

Can not add Domain User to Local Admin Group Win8.1

Hello,
I am trying to add a domain user to the local admin account on a Win8.1 Enterprise computer. When I click the check name button it asks me to enter network credentials even though I am signed in to the computer with a domain admin account. When I try to
type in any of my domain admin accounts it says "The Username or Password is incorrect". Even though I used that same account to login with. I can successfully ping all 3 of my DCs from the computer and have tried putting my second DC as the primary
DNS and my third DC as the primary DC and same problem. I have checked for Active Directory errors on the DC and everything says it is running fine on the DC in server manager. I have this problem on multiple computers. Some of the computers it will work on
but 90% of them it won't allow me to add the local user to the local admin group.
DCs are running Win Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

I would suggest you to use Restricted Group(via GPO) to add domain users/group to a local admins group
1)Create a new group in Active Driectory
Create a new group in Active Driectory that you wish to add to every workstations local administrator group. DO NOT add any users to this group at this time.
2.
Create a new GPO
Create a new group policy object and link it to the desired OU. Make sure that the GPO you are using covers the OU that the WORKSTATIONS you are wanting to give users local administrative rights over.
3.
Edit the newly created GPO
Navigate within the newly created GPO to Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings --> Restricted Groups
4.
Add your new Active Directory group to the Restricted Group
Right-click the Restricted Groups folder and select "Add Group" to add your new Active Directory group to the Restricted Group. In the Group field, type the name of the newly created Active Directory group and click "OK"
5.
Add the Restricted Group to the local administrator group
In the Restricted Group Properties windows click "Add" under the section titled "This group is a member of:" Type "Administrators" (without the quotes and yes it is plural), in the Group Membership window and click "OK"
6.
Wait for GPO updates to apply to the workstations
Once your users receive their updated group policy settings every workstation within the OU you specified will have your new Active Directory group as a member of the local administrators group. If you need to force the GPO update on a specific workstation,
run "gpupdate /force" in a command window on that workstation.
7.
Add a user or group of users to the Active Directory Restricted Group
When you are ready, or in a position where you need to provide local workstation admin rights you can simply add the users or group of users to the Active Directory group that you created for use with Restricted Groups within your Active Directory Management
Console.

How can I add new user in sharepoint list column (people or group) or in sharepoint group using loginName only

How to add/invite users to your admin console

I have read the FAQ regarding this but there is no option to invite users under the 'Admin Users' section as it states in the FAQ. I have WebBasics plan but it states I am allowed to have up to 3 users yet there is no way for me to invite these users. Also if I can not add any users is it possible to change my email for this account as I actually made the website for a client.

Hi,
The option should be located within the admin panel via Site settings -> admin users -> invite.
If you are not seeing this please provide the site so we can investigate.
Kind regards,

Can I add new user to drive 2?

I have two drives on a MacPro. I cannot boot drive two because I have forgotten the password.
Can I add a new user for this drive (and boot into this new user)? I am fairly competent with Unix but need explicit instructions.
Thanks in advance.
Lewis

Ok, here's what I was doing.
I was cloning a 10.4.11 system onto a Mac Pro using ccc and using an image from a recent iMac with the same video driver. At the sign-on screen of the new system on the Mac Pro, the password would not work.
My solution was to use a different external drive to clone the system and it worked without a hitch.
All is well.
Thank you for asking.

Can't create new users in Administration Services Console

Hi,
I am following directions in the Essbase DBA guide for creating new users, as it says you must create a partition user to work with Samppart and Sampeast applications. It tells me to log on to Administration Services Console, go to the Administration Server, and right-click on users to create a new user. However, when I right-click, the option to Create New User is light grey and not clickable, neither is the option to refresh users. Can anyone tell me why I can't create a new user? I am logged in with the username: admin password: password that I set during configuration and that should be the Administrative account.

Hi,
What version are you using? If it is 9 then you need to create the user in shared services. I just checked and the option to create a user is greyed out for me too and I am an admin.
It sounds like you haven't externalised the users which is why the option to do a refresh is not there.
Thanks,
Nathan

Can't create new user, Permission Errors in Console

I just purchased a new 2013 iMac with a 3TB Fusion Drive. I'm trying to dig and fing out why I'm currently unable to create and log in to another user account. I haven't manually changed any permissions in the terminal, and I've booted into recovery mode and attempted restore all Disk Permissions (my next step is to run Onyx). After creating a new user account, when attempting to log into it, the log in screen hangs and just loads endlessly. The console output is as follows:

Does anyone know what's causing the issue?

Well, the possible fixes I tried ended up hosing my permissions (somehow considering they shouldn't have an I was re establishing root user permissions where they belonged). I had to boot into recovery mode and reinstall Mountain Lion (thank god that it keeps all of my files) and that pretty much corrected everything on it's own. Does anyone know of the exact reasoning for the above issue? Which file or folder it's coming from?

Add new user action disabled sharepoint

I am not able to add new user as an admin user. If I add admin as site collection admin then only I am able to see new user add action in sharepoint groups and I can not do that. I
gave manage permissions rights but it does not allow to see new action in sharepoint groups.
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about add use in a group.
Per my knowledge, when we add a user in the site collection administrator, the user would be assigned full control for the site.
Then he would see the add option in a group.
If you want to add a user as a site admin, we can assign him full control directly or add him to the site owner group.
What did you mean "am not able to add new user as an admin user. If I add admin as site collection admin then
only I am able to see new user add action in sharepoint groups and I can not do that."?
If the use is a site collection admin, he would get full control, and the add option would be display in the group.
It would be better if you can give us more information or screen print about this issue.
Thanks,
Jason

Can't Kerberize or add new users

I keep experiencing the same strange behavior: after a variable amount of time (from hours to days) Open Directory in Server Admin will show that Kerberos is not running. When I click the Kerberize button, neither the server admin account nor the domain admin account will work. I just keep getting prompted for a password in a loop.
Restarting may or may not show the Kerberos service running.
In either case, I then cannot add new users to the domain. The New User button in Workgroup Manager is disabled.
I'm really new to Mac Server (I don't even know enough to be dangerous); so, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. I'd like to transition users to portable home directories, but the solutions I've read to Kerberos problems is to demote the server and the promote. But that wipes the users, so, I don't really want to go that route.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi
If you can authenticate to the OD node – and it only needs to be once – you can select all your users (not Directory Administrator UID 100) and export them. WGM > Server Menu > Export. How many are there? This will allow you to reimport them later on into any directory node you like, local NetInfo or OD. Passwords do not carry over but this is no big deal as you can assign a password policy later on. When first populating the OD node with users and groups its a good idea to export and save them all to a memory stick or something suitable. It may not help you in this situation but its a good tip for later on.
As Leif says if Kerberos is stopping or starting and generally being flaky its usually (but not always) down to a problem with DNS somewhere.
There are other possibilities. Perhaps the Server has been joined to an Active Directory KDC? If thats so the users you may be seeing are already on the AD Server and there is nothing to lose. It could also explain why authentication is a struggle. Your post also seems to be indicating a time sync issue, (along with DNS another common problem). Inspect the edu.mit.Kerberos file located in /Library/Preferences on the clients to see which KDC is issuing tickets. It may not be the OD Master. If you find that the server is supplementing AD and not providing SSO then its should be safe to demote. Ultimately this is really the only effective solution. Demote to Standalone and sort out the DNS problems (if any) and repromote.
There is another possible solution which you could try if you feel brave enough.
When the server get promoted to OD Master slapd creates the slapd_macosxserver.conf file in /etc/openldap. This file will contain an entry for the root LDAP user – rootdn. Just as System Administrator (UID 501) admin has root sitting behind it so does Directory Administrator (UID 1000) diradmin. This root user has total control over all the data inside the LDAP database, standard access controls do not apply to this user. The important bit about rootdn is that ANY USER and PASSWORD can be used. The user and password does not even have to exist in the LDAP database itself, it only needs to exist in slapd_macosxserver.conf. The default system admin account or root can edit this file to add a new user and password (it can be MD5 or plaintext), slapd will then assume that any user which can authenticate to the newly created name and password is the root user for the LDAP database and will give full access to user records and the OD node itself. Create a new user in the local NetInfo node first, try not to use diradmin and UID1000.
Hope this helps – Tony

Can't add new Widgets to Dashboard on main user account

I recently switched to a new MacBook Air and after the initial intstallation used migration assistent to move my old data to the MacBook Air. All works fine except the Dashboard. With the old useraccount (which is my main account) I can't add new widgets to the dashboard. When I download and install a new widget I can see it in the /user/library/widgets section, I can see it in the widget list in the dashboard but when I click on it or drag it up to the dashboard it closes the dashboard again.
I tried adding a new user and in works fine in that new account.
Here's what I did to try and solve it sofar:
1. Repaired permissions
2. Deleted the two .plist's in user/library/preferences
3. Deleted the Cache in user/library/cache
4. Checked the folder permissions in /user/library/widget and compared that with the newuser/library/widget
5. Downloaded the 10.6.6. combo update and reinstalled
This behaviour is with every new widget I tried to install.
I tried to find similar behaviour using google but so far no luck. Any suggestions?

You have hosed preferences in the main user account. Create a new admin user account, log into it, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

User can't log in / Server can't create new users

I recently updated to OS X Server 10.5.5. Now one of my users can't log in. Wrong username or password the system says. I've reset the password but it doesn't help.
When creating a new user I get this error:
"The server reported the error '-14120' while trying to create the user."
How can I fix this?

Well, to move the stuff, make a New Account, log into a different admin account & get BatchMod, it's much better/easier than the Finder for recursive Permission changes...
http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html
Now careful with BatchMod, it's crazy powerful, but easier than Command Line.
Oh, this bad user isn't using FileVault I hope???
OK, once BatchMod is loaded, you can drag the whole bad user's folder to it's icon and set the Ownership/permissions to the new replacement user, check Apply to Enclosed items, go.
Oh, if you have room you might make a copy of that User's folder first & use the copy.
Then open the bad User's folder, Select All, drag to new replacement User's folder.

Hi Amanda,
Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:
