Username "staff" conflict when migrating from old 10.4.11 server to new

Our old server (Quicksilver 933) running OSX Server 10.4.11 had a 'catchall' username that my design staff used for production. That username is 'Staff'. It is part of the 'staff' group on the server admin.
When I installed our brand new Mac Mini Server (Snow Leopard server), I connected them together for the 'one time migration'. All the users migrated except the one called 'staff'. It does not show up in the user manager at all; however if I try to create it the system says it already exists.
Suggestions?

staff is one of the groups in recent Mac OS X Server releases, and I wouldn't expect it'll copy over.
WGM menu > Preferences > enable the All Records setting if it's not already selected.
Still in WGM, select Accounts > All Records (bulls-eye) > and then Groups on the pop-up selector.
Best to pick something else.

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?

    I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?  And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

  • JMS issues when migration from weblogic 9.2 to 10.3.5

    We are facing some issues when migration from weblogic 9.2 to 10.3.5

    Entity beans will get refreshed using the JMS messges. with in the MDB descriptor files(weblogic-ejb-jar.xml) we are using the provider URL directly and XA enabled connection factory is set to false.
    migration to Weblogic 10.3.5_
    With the same configurations MDB are not not getting deployed in weblogic 10 with some exception, so we removed the provider URL from weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and changed the JMS configuration to use foreign JMS and XA enable connection factory is set to true. Now when ever the JMS message is triggered Entity bean is not getting refreshed with the updated values. i.e values are stale.
    Can some one look into this and provide your inputs to resolve this issue.

    I think the Entity bean refresh problem appears to be unrelated to MDBs. The MDB is only responsible for getting the message to your application (which in turn interacts with Entity beans). You might want to try posting your question to an EJB newsgroup.

  • HT4413 When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, only some files and applications and setting are transferred, not all of them. In my latest back up I have them all. How can I fix that?

    When migrating from time machine to a new hard drive, not all is transferd, only partial documents, applications , settings etc. How can I migrate the latest back-up with all the content.

    If you want to use Time Machine to recover the contents of one of its a backups to a new drive, follow the instructions in Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system. Note that you must select the "Restore System From Backup" option from the Utilities menu of the Installer disc to do this.
    Also note that if you are transferring files to a hard drive to be used with a different computer, you should use Migration Assistant instead. This intentionally will not copy everything because some settings, applications, etc. are not compatible computer-to-computer. Migration Assistant will copy everything that is.

  • HT201250 When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, it migrates the first back-up I made several years ago. How can I migrate the latest back-up ?

    When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, it migrates the first back-up I made several years ago. How can I migrate the latest back-up ? I need time machine to migrate the latest back-up. Should I delete the older back-ups ?

    As noondaywitch says, it should use the latest backup.
    Where are your backups (external HD, Time Capsule, etc.)?
    It sounds like there are two separate sets, and you're not connected to the right set.

  • Migration from old macbook air to new macbook air...beware

    Although spent hours on the phone with Apple and bought necessary cables, they were not able to get migration assistant to work using ethernet.
    You can't use firewire as new macbook air doesn't have it. You can use thunderbold as old macbook air doesn't have it.
    Finally I was told to use Time Machine. After connecting old macbook air backup to new macbook air and using migration assistant, I got a message saying (essentially) 'you can use this from an old mac'. Spent more time on the phone with Senior tech support. They had no clue.
    Finally called the store. Genius said, you can't migrate from old macbook air with Snow Leopard to new macbook air with Lion. You must upgrade old macbook air to Lion first.
    GEEZ, do you think someone at tech support might have mentioned that DAYS ago?

    That is bad info.
    The MBA that I am using right now used a TM backup from my old MBP, which was running Snow Leopard. Absolutely no problems using Setup Assistant to import all the apps, data, user settings. The session performed flawlessly, and took about an hour to move everything.
    If at all possible, use Setup Assitant, rather than Migration Assistant. The transition will be seamless.

  • When migrating from Bo6.5 to Bo4.0 what are the issues we will face?

    Hi all,
    When migrating from Bo6.5 to Bo4.0 what are the issues may come?
    Thanks,
    Hari.

    Hi,
    first of all you cant direnctly migrate from BO 6.5 to BI4. You have to migrate prior from BO 6.5 to XI 3.1 and afterwards to BI4.
    This is a huge step cause BO 6.5 is a very legace version. You will face a lot of issues with the Security. You have to totally re- design it. You will also face issues with BCA Jobs. Also here you have to do a complete re- design. If you only use Full Client Reports you have to convert them to WebI in XI 3.1 prior to migrating them to BI4 cause with BI4 the support of DeskI has been stopped.
    Maybe you consider to consult the SAP Consulting devision. This kind of Migration will be challenging.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • SRM validate the Catalog Item when copying from old templates

    Do SRM validate the Catalog Item when copying from old templates and previous shopping carts? Is this standard functionality?
    Thanks,
    Rajan

    Continuation to my previous post:
    My findings based on the analysis I did. Might help people who are looking for similar info.
    As Jason mentioned, the Subroutine name is CATALOG_CONTENT_VALIDATE_GET
    This is under package BBP_SC --> Function Group: BBP_SC_APP
    After making a webservice call to get catalog details, the mapping is done as below.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        READ TABLE lt_enriched_item INDEX 1.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          ls_item_validate-price      = lt_enriched_item-price.
          ls_item_validate-currency   = lt_enriched_item-currency.
          ls_item_validate-price_unit = lt_enriched_item-price_unit.
          ls_item_validate-deliv_date = lt_enriched_item-deliv_date.
          ls_item_validate-leadtime   = lt_enriched_item-leadtime.
          ls_item_validate-unit       = lt_enriched_item-unit.
        ELSE.
          lv_validate_item_exception = gc_yes.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        lv_validate_item_exception = gc_yes.
      ENDIF.
    If you go one level deeper into subroutine  PERFORM sc_itm_copy_to_basket, you can see that following validations are performed.
    If EITHER price, currency or price unit changes, we get the message u201C&: Price changed due to catalog validationu201D
    If UOM changes, we get the message u201C&: Unit of measure changed in catalog; item not transferredu201D
    When Delivery date or lead time changes, no message is raised but the new values are copied.
    In a nut shell, the fields that are considered for validation are Price, Currency, Price Unit, UOM, Delivery date, Lead Time.
    Thanks,
    Seyed

    Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility and wipe the HD. Quit DU and restore the OS. On first boot, migrate properly, using the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • Migrating from SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2012R2 Standard with 365

    Im looking to move SBS 2011 to Server 2012R2 standard and with a 365 migration as well.
    Im thinking
    BPA for AD (health check)
    Add the Server2012R2 as a DC
    Ensure replication
    Move DHCP
    Change DNS
    Now this is where I get lost, now Im lost to use either dirsync or add essentials service, I have gone for standard and 30 cals with the option  as I have 28 users and the essentials service would make everything quite nice for remote access and backups
    etc....  however I don't know whether to just use dirsync with password replication instead ?
    Currently Im aiming towards getting the dc up and running then enabling essentials on the dc but I dont know how it will effect SBS and having essentials on the same network and sync'ing people to the cloud ? So Should I use DirSync on a different server
    instead to sync up to azure ?
    Finally with 365 I have only ever done a migration involving an export of pst's from an exchange box and then on a new domain with new pc's and reimport the pst's on the user accounts in outlook.
    However I have read when migrating to 365 was using exchange 2010 there was a application
    to move everything across however you needed an ssl cert iirc ? so I dont know how it works now since the nice new dashboard upgrade (assuming the tool has been updated like dirsync)
    along with the above how does AD now know where exahcnge if you use the migration app with an ssl cert and is it a case of still running the 365 config tool to configure each user to look at their mail in the
    cloud ? Also is it a good idea to enable essentials from the start of the 2012r2 dc for replication top 365 or to use dirsync ?
    then finally when replications is all good start transferring the FSMO roles over to the new DC and demote and remove the SBS server
    I have seen (below) but i dont think it covers this scenario and I cant be the only person in this situation =\ ?

    I’m a little confused with the description. Did you mean that set up DC (Windows Server 2012 Standard) and
    then install the Windows Server Essentials Experience role? If so, when you migrate, please refer to the article:
    Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience
