No Users after migration

I used the migration assistant to transfer data from my iBook G4 to my MBP. The transfer went OK but when I started my iBook again it would not boot - it would stall at the grey? (I'm colour blind) apple screen. I tried to repair permissions and got a message dumb me didn't write down but that said something like my Users folder had vanished. I tried to connect the iBook to the MBP in target mode again and was able to confirm that the Users folder was empty.
I then decided to install and archive but I got an error message saying I should try again. I tried again and got the same message. My only option was to perform a clean reinstall - TG I usually back things up.
Does anyone know of any issue with the target mode/migration assistant between a G4 and Intel Macs?
TIA
Daniel

I found out somewhere in these discussions that this is some sort of issue between Intel based Macs and PowerPc Macs.
I was fortunate enough to have backed up my stuff!

  • Can't Create User after migration

    I recently upgraded a PPC xserver running leopard to a new Power Mac running lion server. Everything seemd to go smoothly but after a more thorough look I am having issues. The main one being I cannot create users in the I go into the server.app and the + is greyed out. The only way I have been successful in adding users is through system preferences.
    I am also having a trouble with my web server it appears as though even though the service is running I can't get any pages to load via a web browser.
    Last issue I know of at this moment is I am una able to start the VPN service. Everyitme I click on the toggle it turns on then goes back to off.
    Instead of doing a clean installation I migrated aftert reading that it would be my best bet.
    Can anyone hlep me that may have had this or a simlar problem?

    The prof_attr file contains the comment:
    Can perform most non-security administrative tasks
    for System Admin.
    In addition I don't see a corresponding entry in exec_attr and without that then you aren't going to be using that role to run any commands. You can try it in SMC to see if it works there but its doubtful.
    You'll probably need to create a separate role and add the user to that role.
    A grep of exec_attr shows that User_Management is probably what you're after.

  • Restoring all Users after migration to new environment without Full Import

    Hallow all,
    We are migrating our database from windows to Sun Solaris.
    We came to situation that, we have lots of created users who do there transactions on other users tables. Now I don't want to do full import & let oracle do all the work for me. Cause we will change the structure of tablespaces & the default tablespaces for users.
    Now we came to problem,
    We want to create all the users without asking everyone to change his password, if we put default password for all.
    I want your opinion about if the following will work:
    1- I create the new tablespaces.
    2- I create the main users & assign there default tablespaces.
    3- on the old database I create a table
    create table user_list as select * from dba_users;
    4- I import the needed main users
    5- I import user_list table into system account;
    6- I write procedure with cursor on user_list then create users while looping on that cursor with any password.
    7- I write procedure with cursor on SYS.USER$ then
    alter user User_Name identified by values 'F894844C34402B67';
    here the Hashed value will be selected from the User_list table where name=name on both tables.
    What you think about the above steps, especially No. 7 ?
    any other suggestions to do the work ?
    Best Regards,
    Naji Ghanim

    Hi ,
    Spool the create users scripts and run in new db.
    select
    'PROMPT Create User '||username||'...' text,
    'create user "'||username||'" identified '||
    decode(PASSWORD, 'EXTERNAL','externally ','by values '''||PASSWORD||''' ')||
    decode(DEFAULT_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' default tablespace "'||DEFAULT_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
    decode(TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' temporary tablespace "'||TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
    decode(profile,'DEFAULT', null, ' profile "'||PROFILE||'" ')||';' text
    from dba_users
    where username not in ('ADAMS','ANONYMOUS','BLAKE','CLARK','CTXSYS','DBSNMP','DIP','DMSYS','EXFSYS','HR','JONES','MDDATA','MDSYS','MGMT_VIEW','ODM','ODM_MTR','OE','OLAPSYS','ORDPLUGINS','ORDSYS','OUTLN','PERFSTAT','PM','QS','QS_ADM','QS_CB','QS_CBADM','QS_CS','QS_ES','QS_OS','QS_WS','SCOTT','SH','SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA','SYS','SYSTEM','TRACESVR','TSMSYS','WKPROXY','WKSYS','WK_TEST','WMSYS','XDB')
    You can modify the create user script for the new tablespaces.

  • Multiple Copies of Users After Migration

    I just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to move my user accounts and programs from a 933 MHz G4. Both machines are operating with the current 10.4.10. In Finder I can see the four accounts I migrated. When I go into the System Preferences > Accounts, I see five copies of the four accounts I migrated. I tried to delete the extra copies and was able to delete four copies of two of managed accounts, but it will not let me delete the fifth. Those two accounts do not show up in the Finder. I tried to delete the copies of a Standard account and put it in the deleted users. The account shows up in the Login screen but I don't have access to that account.
    I've got five copies of the Admin account in the System Preferences > Accounts (only one copy shows up in the Log In box) but I don't want to mess with it until I've got a better handle on what's going on.

  • Office for mac not working for all users after migration

    Recently purchased macbook retina display and used migration assistant to move everything over from a macbook pro 17" (late 2011). After the migration my login (admin rights) has no problem on the new macbook, but my wife login cannot use the Office for Mac without being asked to do an install.
    Problem is, the version we have goes through the install and then asks to 'register' the product and the version is no longer supported so you cannot register, therefor the program will not run.
    Am I missing something here? Everything still works on both of our sign in's on the old macbook pro, and on the new macbook retina, office works on my sign in only.
    The original install was a download version, so there are no 'disks' to do a re-install.
    Any suggestions?

    You need Acrobat 7.1
    Is your Office 2004 up to date?

  • HOW TO DELET B1i USER AFTER MIGRATION.

    Dear all,
    We have a customer enviroment when we migrated their 4 db, we saw a lot of B1i user.
    1st. db has 198 B1i user, the second has 123, the 3th has 29, 4th has 38 B1i user.
    Someone knows  why this user is multiplied with the migration to version 8.8  or when we updated each time a patch and if there is any way to delete them en masse?
    I hoppe you help.
    Regards
    NANCY

    Dear Nancy,
    The multiple B1i users are usually the result that someone deleted b1i user. This default user should not be touched.
    To stop more and more new users, check here: So many B1i users auto created by SAP

  • Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

    We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
    from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
    I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
    the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

  • Blocking users after migrating from WCS to NCS?

    One of our people in our Helpdesk  blocked a user mac because of an alert that said they were using the WiFi in an unsafe manner.  Probably streaming or file sharing.  Anyway when they blocked the mac they noticed that in the older WCS it would ask if you want to block this on all controllers.  The new NCS he said did not have that option that he could find.  So the user just authenticated with the same machine to a new controller which then had to be manually blocked.
    I could not find in NCS the option to block the offending mac on all controllers either.  This does not mean it isn’t there?  Can we get a ruling on this? Bug? it worked in WCS.

    We have NCS 1.1.0.58 and I believe when we block the Mac from NCS it only blocks if on the controller that it is currently associated to.

  • Clean remote Mailbox after migration

    Hello ,
    I am Migrating mailbox users form Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 SP3 some users after Migration there Mailbox still in exchange 2007 as mailbox user instated of mail user  and in exchange 2010 as mail box user  .
    but its for some users .
    can you help me please why it happen

    Hi,
    Do you mean the mailbox in the original mailbox change to the soft-deleted state?
    If so, I recommend you check MAS's suggestions.
    When mailboxes are moved from an Exchange 2010 SP1 database to any other database, Exchange doesn't fully delete the mailbox from the source database immediately upon completion of the move. Instead, the mailbox in the source mailbox database is switched
    to a soft-deleted state. For more details about this, you can refer to the following article.

    Shouldn't be having a problem, then. That's the version for ML. Try taking your question to the Safari forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari - that's where all the Safari experts hang out.

  • User password not accepted after migration

    Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4  Destination iMac OSX6.8
    Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
    What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
    I backupped then the  user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
    I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
    First time, that a migration process fails for me.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks
    Urs

    The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
    I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
    http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
    My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

  • Double users after inter forest migration - sIDHistory in AD discovery

    Hey,
    we plan to perform an inter forest migration with ADMT.
    There we will migrate about 6000 users.
    Now we have the problem that after a user is migrated with ADMT the user account is not once but two times in SCCM.
    One in old and one in new domain. In active directory the user is only one time (in new domain).
    This causes the loose of all collection memberships and primary device assignments.
    Having a look at the users we found that they have different SIDs.
    In migration of sIDHistory is enable and we can see it successful in active directory.
    It is not possible to include the sIDHistory propertiy in Active Directory User Discover of SCCM - or is this just a failure by our environment?
    Does anyone have an idea or hint how to solve this or possible causes?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, the maintenance tasks will delete the aged Discovery Data.
    Delete Aged Discovery Data
    Use this task to delete aged discovery data from the database. This data can include records resulting from heartbeat discovery, network discovery, and Active Directory Domain Services discovery methods (System, User, and Group).

    You can view the default list of object attributes returned by Active Directory User Discovery, and configure additional attributes to be discovered in the
    Active Directory User Discovery Properties dialog box on the
    Active Directory Attributes tab.
    In addition to the basic information, you can configure the discovery of extended attributes from Active Directory Domain Services.
