Server Admin user and group limit

Just noticed today with 10.6.7 that there is a limit of 100 users being displayed in Server Admin. I guess the sames goes for Groups as well.
As soon as i deleted some old accounts the users i had created recently appeared in Server Admin.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

As you mentioned, it is a display limit in WM, the accounts are still there. A quick workaround is to type part of the object name in the search box at the top of the list.
That 100 object display limit was probably the result of countless meetings between middle-managers. I'm guessing it went something like this:
"Why don't we just show them all?"
"Some deployments could have tens of thousands... that won't work... it'll take forever to load and even longer for somebody to skim through the list."
"Okay, how about we do 1000?"
"No, that won't work either. Still too many to skim through and, even worse, they'll spend years with 999 objects in there then add a few more and think it's broken..."
"Fine... then 100. Short enough to load reasonably quickly and long enough that the average person could eyeball it."
"But there will still be some admins who think it's broken and want to change it."
Steve Jobs walks in, "Give 'em a search box."
Middle-managers in unison, "Brilliant!"
Sorry. It's early, and I'm a bit punchy.

Run this Command from the Exchange Server

and then you need to restart the service

Admin Console not displaying new Users and Groups from LDAP

We created a new Realm in WebLogic, which specifies the location of the Netscape
LDAP server. Our Weblogic application, called TGSLC, is able to find the ldap
server to use for authentication. My problem is this- the Admin Console is not
displaying the new users and groups from the LDAP server. Shouldn't the WebLogic
Admin Console display any users and groups specified in the ldap server, which
is referenced in the customized Realm?

Hi Andy,
I am not sure why you are unable to see the users and groups through the
console., you should be able to. Can you post the config.xml?
thanks,

How to reset users and groups in Server.app?

Recently after change settings in the Server.app (like turn off/on open directory, delete/add certificates), I got a strange problem:
In the users and groups list, it display all local users and groups (looks like system users and groups, about 100 users and groups, but this is a new server)
I tried reset the server.app by following
howto reinstall/reinitialize os x server
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200271?viewlocale=en_US
These users and groups still showing there.
Have you seen this before and how can I completely reset the server.app to factory default so that I can start over the set up?

In theory, that should restore the users. You can do some surgery if you are really brave. But the reinstall generally should be enough.
These accounts are in the DSLocal data store. Basically, this is very similar to the any OS X machine. Apple keeps a default copy of the Local Database here:
/System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default
Should you need to reset a machine to the default local database, you can remove the current database (/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default) and then copy the default one to the same location. I would not go this far unless the reinstall was unsuccessful.
To check, you can run this command:
dscl . list /Users
That will list all the Users in the local DB. To get a count, pipe to wc
dscl . list /Users | wc -l
On a Server that I just jumped on, I see 79 users and 111 groups (dscl . list /Groups | wc -l) But this is a system will man SACL groups so I likely have more than the default.
Hope this continues to help. Probably more info that you want.

Server 4.0 can't edit users and groups. All options greyed out.

I have upgraded the mac mini server from Mavericks to Yosemite and had to update to Server 4.0 and having many issues.
One issue is I can't edit users and groups. All the options are greyed out.

Search the System keychain on the server for application passwords with the name "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" and delete any you find. Sign out of the Server app and sign back in using the FQDN of the server, not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1".

Migrating Users and Groups from Windows 2000 server to Windows 2013 Standard.

OK...let me see if I can get this question out the way I need to....
I inherited a Windows 2000 Server that's on it's last legs. We have a new server, a Windows 2013 Standard machine that we just recently purchased. I need to migrate the users and groups over to the new server, but there are two things that are
making it difficult:
The 2000 machine is NOT a Domain Controller
The 2000 machine is NOT running Active Directory
This is a file server that hangs onto another network of which I have no control of. It has its' own IP address and there is NO WAY we can run Active Directory or make it a domain controller.
I have close to 300 users, groups, and printers to bring over to the new server. Rather than kill myself doing manual input, is there any other way to do this?

Hi,
When you import the CSV file to new server, you need to create a new user account then import the CSV.

Manage users and groups on 10.5 client like 10.5 server?

can anyone recommend software for managing local users and groups on 10.5 client? we only need filesharing and don't need the added expense of OS X Server.
thanks

oh, right. we can add users with the File Sharing pref pane and can add groups under the Accounts pref pane.
i'm assisting a friend reconfigure a 'server' (os x client box) that was damaged.
i'd like to create a new group and then add a handful of users to that group for filesharing. these users don't really need to access the mac for local login.
they are using Windows Vista from the clients and the way it's set up now, if a user connects and modifies/creates a file, no one else can then modify the file. we have to run chmod on the file/directory for everyone to be able to change it. i'd like to configure it so the permissions work correctly without having to do this.

Project Server 2010 - Project Permissions - Users and Groups filter is not working

Hi,
While giving permissions from project center ribbon on a project - Users and Groups filter is not working, we are not able to filter any user.
I am not sure why this error is occurring i tried giving permissions by opening the project but still the same filtering is not happening. Below is the screen shot
We have installed Service Pack 2 and June 2014 CU recently will this effect ?
Can any one throw some light on this??
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

Hi Geetha,
Which IE version are you using? First I'd try to add the URL to the compatibility mode sites, then to the trusted sites (if it is not done already). Then I'd try to set the default browser as IE8 or 9 (pressing F12, developer tool).
Hope this helps,

How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
Thanks in advance.

1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).

Proper user and group rights

Dear readers and admins
My question is about the "correct" setting of the user and group rights, so the following is possible. It relates to Server 10.3 and to 10.4.
Requirements:
Group 1 = "Regular user"
Group 2 = "Administration, Accounting"
User 1 and 2 belong to Group 1, users 3 and 4 belong to Group 2.
User 1 & 2 must have read/write access to files and folders in Group 1, but may not have access to files and folders of Group 2.
User 1 & 2 must be in a position of creation and deletion of file and directory of Group 1, as if they were their own files and directories. I.e. User 2 must be in a position to delete or change files and directories that an other user of Group 1 has created.
User 3 & 4 must have read and write access to files and directories of Group 1 & 2. They must be able to creating and changing such files and directories, as if they were their own files and directories. I.e. User 3 & 4 must be able to create and change files and directories which belong to user 1 & 2.
As I understand it, this can be achieved with ACL's under Server 10.6.
Am I right?
What would such a structure look like with ACL's?
I unfortunately don't have a server 10.6 running, as, down due to technical problems, my server is down.
Thank you in advance for your help.
All a happy new year.
Regards
Thomas Thaler

Yes - and it's pretty easy.
1. You would create whatever share points you would like (very easy to do)
2. You would make sure in Workgroup Manager you have the users assigned to the correct groups that you discussed.
3. On the folders for Group 1 you would add ACL permissions of Full Control for Group 1 and Full Control for Group 2.
4. On the folders for Group 2 you would add an ACL permission of Full Control for Group 2.

Huge list of Groups in Users and Groups

I just upgraded SL to ML. I've been learning and setting things up.
I use the machine as a standard user and I have a "silent" admin user, too.
I was wondering if anyone has come across this? I went into System Preferences and noticed that there was a HUGE list of Groups. Some had "logical" names like admin server, etc. The list was super long. Some of the name were strange, like "umbg" I have no idea how they got there. And, searching here, and googling doesn't give me any info.
I don't know how all these groups got there. I did not add a single one.
I did make a mistake, because I deleted them all and then ML made my admin user a standard user and I could not unlock System Preferences, or use my password anywhere. ugh.
I tried finding a way to fix it, but I ended up just using Restore from disk utility. no worries, didn't have that much going on, yet.
Is it normal to have a list of groups that you did not create? Does ML just create groups in your Users and Groups list??
How do I take care of it if it happens again? Can some be deleted? If so, which ones? What are they for?
Thanks for any help with this.

Okay, I did do the restore.
And, the groups were not there.
So, first off, I opened TinkerToolSystem and went through all thes options. I found one: Show Groups in users and groups. I made sure it was not checked. Hopefully, it will not repopulate.
Then I remembered something. I did download Onyx. I was just looking for a way to change something simple. Mostly, I just looked around, didn't click on buttons, etc. But, Onyx may have change this setting (or me using Onyx inadvertently). Whichever, whatever, I've used TinkerToolSystem for years and it's always worked so well. I think I'm sticking with it and not install Onyx - which I had to go through the Gatekeeper exception deal... so it makes me nervous.
I'll post back if further issues with this.

VBS: Add domain user and group to local administrators

I have a piece of VBS code that I have modified that basically adds a specified domain user and group to the PCs local Administrators group. It works on Windows 7, but not on Windows 8 at all.
Call AddUserToGroup("./Administrators", "myDomain.net/NetworkAdminis")
Call AddUserToGroup("./Administrators", "myDomain.net/Domain Admins")
Call addDomainUser("myDomain", "myUserGroup")
Sub AddUserToGroup(local, domain)
Dim objLocalGroup
Dim objDomainGroup
Dim server
For Each server in servers
Set objLocalGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & local & ",group")
Set objDomainGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & domain & ",group")
With objLocalGroup
.Add(objDomainGroup.AdsPath)
.SetInfo
End With
Next
Set objLocalGroup = Nothing
Set objDomainGroup = Nothing
End Sub
Sub addDomainUser(strDomain, strUser)
Dim strComputer
Dim objWshNet
Dim objGroup
Dim objUser
Set objWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = objWshNet.ComputerName
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrators,group")
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain & "/" & strUser & ",user")
If Not objGroup.IsMember(objUser.ADsPath) Then
objGroup.Add (objUser.ADsPath)
End If
Set objWshNet = Nothing
Set objGroup = Nothing
Set objUser = Nothing
End Sub
I have debugged the code line by line using VBA's IDE and there seems to be no error condition firing. It executes all lines, but it is not adding the users and groups as it did with Windows 7 and below. The script is being run as local administrator.

Webcenter spaces user and group and WLS security realm

I want to configure external ORACLE DB,
I configed the security realm in WLS, and I can see the user and group list in WLS page, But I cant find any of them in webcenter spaces,
and also can not login with those users.
I added a user with WLS, it works well.
do I need to do other configrations?

First you need to create a Administrator for this new identity stores. Weblogic user is not identified now because its not mapped by first authenticator. See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, section 28.4.1.1 Granting the WebCenter Spaces Administrator Role Using FusionMiddleware Control. Once you have done this step, do the same steps for other application user. For this you have to give Application role to other user so that they can login and use WebCenter Space.See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, Section 28.4.2.1 Granting Application Roles Using Fusion Middleware Control.
After doing above steps, restart WC_Spaces managed server.
