Migrated Users Can't Sign In

Hello all,
I am migrating my company's Lync 2010 deployment to Lync 2013.  All servers are internal to the company, we are not using Lync Online services in any way.  We are also an IM/Presence-only deployment.  We are not using any voice/UM features.
I have the 2013 Front End server up and running, and I have replaced the 2010 Edge server with the 2013 Edge server.  IM, presence, federation, and external access are all working
When migrating users into the pilot pool on the 2013 server, I have noticed a significant delay before users are able to sign into Lync.  Even when associated with the 2013 pool, they are still able to sign in using the 2010 client, but the 2013 client
gives them the message "The username, password or domain appears to be incorrect. Ensure that you entered them correctly. If the problem continues, please contact your support team."  After a random amount of time (usually about an hour, but
sometimes much longer), they are suddenly able to sign in and everything is fine.
I have run a packet capture on both client and server, and I can confirm that while the users are attempting to sign in, there is absolutely no attempt made to contact the server, even if the servers are manually specified.
I am stumped here, and I am unable to continue with the migration on a wide scale until I have this issue figured out.  I have tried searching both here and other places online, but all the discussion centers around Lync Online, which we are not using
at all.
Can anyone help me shed some light on this? Your time and effort are greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Here is the trace log from a new user I created within the same AD site as the Lync front end server.  Upates have been applied, with no change.

  • Migrated Users can't log in new ones can?

    I hope someone can help me out here. I'm not a full time server admin and must be missing something...
    I'm migrating an old G4 Xserve (10.4.11) to a newer Intel Xserve (10.6.6).
    I got though the migration assistant successfully and the server boots and looks just like the old G4.
    I did note a few glitches like a missing "com.apple.Boot.plist" file and none of the DHCP Static Maps migrated. All other settings, users, groups etc. look like they moved just fine. My data is all there and the folder structure is correct. DNS forward and reverse is working as it should.
    Everything seams like it should be working fine, but not one of my migrated users can login to the server. All of them get the Message, "You are unable to log in to the user account "namehere" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.
    When I created a new "testuser" account with all the same settings, privileges, home folder location, etc and it can login just fine...
    What am I missing here?

  • Mail integration doesn't work - users can't sign up

    I've followed the instructions for the mail and calendar integration from the /opt/SUNWam/samples/integration folder.
    When users sign themselves up however, they still don't get access to mai. From the Sun ONE Console, an admin can click the 'mail account' button for the newly 'self created' user. After this the user can login to webmail, but gets a pop up error saying 'Quota Root'. Clicking past this gives access to webmail.
    They are also not able to send emails - the error 'SMTP Error 5.1.1 unkonw or illegal alias' appears.
    Users created via the Identity server console after performing the integration are wokring ok with mail - mail worked only after adding DOMAIN_UPLEVEL=3 to the option.dat file, following advice I'd seen elsewhere.
    How can I find out what is going wrong/fix these apparently basic problems? I 've followed all the docs to the letter...
    Chris

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Users can't sign in to the Lync when they out of office!

    All users in office they can signed - in well but when they moved out of office or anywhere in the world they can't sign-in even they have internet connection so is it require to configure some else on MS Lync server 2013 or on MX record, forwarding port
    in router, Etc.. ?
    please comment / advice !
    Regards,
    Sambath

    Hi,
    For external accessing with Lync, you need to deploy an Edge Server in DMZ zone.
    You can refer to the link of “Installing Lync 2013 Edge Server” to help you deploy Edge server:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16931.installing-lync-2013-edge-server.aspx
    If you want to login with mobility, no matter internal or external, you need to deploy a Reverse Proxy in DMZ zone.
    More details:

  • ONLY One user can't sign into outlook

    So we have Exchange 2013 and Server 2012 R2 Remote collections setup. A user logs into the remote collection and can open outlook. If it's the first time they get the usual detecting account and everything works fine. But for one user, it just doesn't find
    his account. No matter if you enter it manually or automatically. It just can't see his account. I can type in another user's name and it pops right up.
    So I figured I'd export his pst, disable the mailbox, create him a new mailbox and import the .pst.
    Well that didn't work either. Should I go ahead and delete the User in AD? Then recreate it? I've already tested creating a new user and logging into outlook, importing his pst to the test user. So I know that would work. BUT is there anything left hanging
    after I delete the existing user(only been tested with a brand new user) from the Exchange Admin Console? Is it better to delete it directly in AD or from the exchange console?
    Thank you.

    OWA was working fine.
    These were the steps I just did to get it working with Outlook...
    1. Backup .pst
    2. Backup old UDP
    3. Disable mailbox in exchange admin console
    4. Deleted user in AD
    5. Created new user/mailbox through exchange console
    6. Verified outlook could login with the new user(same name as old)
    7. Imported old pst
    8. Mounted old UPD and copied over the few files he had.
    9. Removed old UPD.
    Everything is working fine now.

  • Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    So what you really want is for your signature's appearance to contain user's ID and signing time. To do that you sign PDF with a regular digital signature and apply custom appearance to it. The "Sign" dialog contains "Appearance" field that has a drop-down list on the right which lists all available appearances and a "Create New Appearance" button. The standard/default signature appearance already contains signing time. You can create a custom appearance that includes additional information that you want to appear there. If you want your username to appear in the signature appearance you create an image file that contains your username and add this image to your custom appearance.
    Multiple users can definitely sign the same PDF. Usually the signing certificate owner's name appears in the certificate itself and is included in the standard/default signature appearance. This is not Windows username but still identifies the signer, IMO better than Windows username. I do not think you want to disclose your password by placing it in the signature appearance.
    You keep mixing two completely different and unrelated concepts: authentication and signing. I still do not understand what exactly you mean by "authentication". It has nothing to do with signature.

  • I can not find migrated user, apps, files...after restore with migration assistant

    Hi, I have a MacPro, with mavericks. I have to change the hard disk because it failed, and now I want to restore my system.
    I have a copy in another disk, made with time machine. I used the migration assistant, the system recognized the copy;
    I'm interested in restore all the system, the users, the applications, and all the information, then I selected all and the migration apparently
    works because there are not error messages or nothing wrong, the only issue is that the current user has the same name of the user in the backup,
    then the assistant asked if I want both users, I choose to keep only the one in the backup, after a while (1-2 hours). I logout, and with surprise there are not any users created.
    I have to login as single user, reset the password for root, to be able to login into the computer again, and I can´t find the migrated user, or the applications, or the files.
    I am looking in the forums, and help pages, but I can´t find the solution. Thanks in advance

    Thanks Eric, the migration of applications, worked (by choosing only this item ), I created a new user, try using time machine to restore the user, but appeared  the message  file ".journal" already exists, and didn't work; so I decided to transfer the data manually. Now I hope the things will work out.

    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • Changed user name and now can't sign in -HELP!

    I just wanted to change my user name, so I went to accounts and just changed that, not the password or anything else...I restarted my computer and now I can't sign in with the new OR the old...what can I do?

    I followed these steps:
    Resetting the original administrator account password
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
    Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
    Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
    Set the user name of your original administrator account.
    Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
    Enter a new password.
    Click Save.

  • Can't sign in to google from some user accounts

    On our family iMac:
    - from my account I can sign in to any of the family google accounts via any of the installed browsers (chrome, filefox, safari ... all up to date).
    - from my daughters account I can't sign in or sign out via any browser.

    There's a possibility that there's reaction required on the google side, and I've contacted google with this issue as well.
    However the following points bring me closer to this being related to the OS and the account:
    - there are three mac's in the house, two with multiple user accounts,
    - I can log on to any of the google id's on all, except one account on one machine.

  • How Can I Sign The Adobe Reader X User Agreement?

    When I try to print documents, the reader 10 user agreement comes on, with the accept below the taskbar.  It does not respond when the cursor is over it. 

    I opened up the EULA in the C drive, put it on low pixellation via properties and signed it then.  Thank you for your prompt attention to my difficulty.  Take care. -Steve

    Are you doing this in the web browser?  If so, have you ever launched Adobe Reader as a standalone application?  If so, then you should have had the opportunity to accept the EULA.

  • How do i sign out of hotmail on ipad 2 so another user can sign in, not really technical i know but frustrating.

    how do i sign out of hotmail on ipad2 so another user can sign in, know this is not a very technical question but it is frustrating

    You don't sign out without deleting and recreating the email account.  Setup a second hotmail account.  iPads are not designed as multi-user devices.

  • Migration created new User, can I do without?

    Got a new iMac and I'm migrating from an iBook G4. Set up users on the iMac and then went back to migrate info. While going through all this, Migration Asst. mentions to me that there is already a user with that name on the new computer (duh, I am setting things up the same way as I had them on my G4) and I was asked to rename the user on the OLD COMPUTER. I did so, but when I finished, I couldn't find anything on the iMac. Logged out and found a new user acct with the revised name. Everything was transferred to that user.
    So, I want to use the old info that was transferred with the original user and delete the revised-name user. Not sure how to set up access to all of that. Do I need to redo things? The user I want to stick with is the main one, the admin.
    This is probably basic, but I found it annoying. I just wanted to migrate my stuff to the new machine, to the user I was logged in as.
    Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    This is probably basic, but I found it annoying. I just wanted to migrate my stuff to the new machine, to the user I was logged in as.
    you can not do that. there is no way to merge two users. certainly, no automatic way to do it. you should decide which user you want to use and stick with that. the best and the easiest is to use the migrated user. if you do it right after you set up the computer there are no issues with that as the originally created admin user account is empty. also, if you use setup assistant during the original computer setup to migrate from the old account it won't even create any other users beside the migrated one.
    Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
