Windows SBS 2011 - I can't add a new user through the SBS Console

I have recently installed SBS 2011 and this is my first install of SBS since 2003.
After the installation I went to the SBS Console to add a new user and when I select 'Add a new user account' and base it on the Standard User account i get a message saying 'Add a New User Account failed', when i view the details for this it says "The User
Account cannot be added. Ensure that the Active Directory Domain Services service is running....
I searched the web for this and found the following which was not applicable http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958890 
I then resorted to adding the users via AD Users and Computers and the modifying the value in the ADSI for msSBSCreationState to 'Created' and then it appeared in the console, i then used the console to change the user role for this account to Standard User.
But when i now click on the "Edit User Account Properties" action i get a pop up message from SBS Server saying "There is no such object on the server".
Any ideas on ow to fix this broken console would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

  • Can't add in new users any more in Workgroup Manager

    Hello all,
    You all might remember me from my other post about problems with the server - I gave up yesterday and reformatted the hard drive, reinstalled OSX and set everything up. All worked lovely and perfect. Put in a few users, worked fine. Could log in and access my home directories - perfectly fine. All looked rosy.
    Roll on to this afternoon, I tried to add in a new user by changing to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 in Workgroup Manager, can see the list of users, so I clicked on the padlock icon to authenticate myuself - so an username and password prompt popped up. I've got 2 admin accounts on the server - one admin and one nadmin, the former to administrate the local stuff, and nadmin for the server stuff. Put in the nadmin username and password and I got:
    The login information is not valid for this server. The server failed to accept the login information you provided. Check the Name and Password and try to log in again or contact your network administrator.
    Somewhat surprised as I logged in Workgroup Manager with the same username and password! I tried several different permuations of usernames:
    Login window: admin
    Workgroup Manager: admin
    /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1: nadmin
    and then, admin, nadmin, nadmin, then nadmin, nadmin, nadmin, then tried admin, admin, admin - and in every case I could get to Workgroup Manager but unable to authenticate to the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 node using either admin or nadmin passwords. I've tried changing nadmin's password, and adding in a new admin user and nothing works. Even tried rebooting the server, no go. Everything still works perfectly fine, I can log in using my network username on a Mac and access my home directory fine - I just can't add in new users, delete them or change their information. Very frustrasting!
    What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix this problem?
    Thanks very much for your help in advance!
    Cheers - Piers

    Is the user you are trying to use to make changes with the directory admin that was created at the initial setup of your OD? Has the other user you are trying to use been granted privileges to administer the directory (under user accounts)?

  • I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?

    Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!

    Javivi:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
    First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
    Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
    It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
    Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
    Good luck.

  • Why I can't add a new user in my DPS Account Administration panel.

    I get this message: The email address you entered could not be added as a Digital Publishing user to this account. Please choose a different Adobe ID or create a new Adobe ID for the user.
    I don't know what to do. Need to create new APP accounts. Please help.

    I do thise every two months: I create a new account, next  I create the app. Then I use that account on DPS, but this time, supposing that the order does not care, I create the new account and then I used in DPS and finally when I tried to create the app, I get this message: The email address you entered could not be added as a Digital Publishing user to this account. Please choose a different Adobe ID or create a new Adobe ID for the user.
    if I gues, I make it bad. But how do I resolve this? Using the DPS administration tool I need to add a new user for my application but now I can't.  really need this done.  Please help.

  • Can I add a new trigger to the beginning instead of at the end of a blank composition widget?

    Hi guys,
    I am creating a photo gallery page using the Blank Composition widget. I want to be able to add new content regularly by adding new photos to the top (beginning) of the gallery so my newest photos show at the beggining of the gallery.
    Currently, the little + symbol to add another trigger only adds a new trigger to the right (bottom) of group of triggers, effectively putting newly added content to the back of the gallery instead of at the front. Am I able to get it to add a new trigger to the beginning of the group and have that trigger be the first in the group to display?
    All the widget's seem to display this same order behaviour, so I'm quite stuck on how to get around this. I've tried re-arranging the triggers, but that has become insanely cumbersome every time I want to add new photos to the beginning of the group and move the older ones further down the gallery order.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated with this, cheers, David.

    OK
    I'm a newbie.
    I have the same problem. I've looked at some recommended 3rd party widgets and they don't do what I want either.
    Another method would be to start a nabble.com blog and embed that in to Muse, but then the news would not be seen by web crawlers and benefit your ranking on your own page. (I think)
    This is a rubbish work around but, I'm going to add a new news widget every month. I only get 5-6 bits of news a month, so by adding a new widget above the last each time, that will push the old news down the page.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • How can I add a new user to my managed account?

    *There is an existing skype user.  i.e She already has a skype account
    *I have a Skype Manager account and want to provide her with SkypeCredit
    *I am having trouble doing that.  It seems that I can add a new member to my group only if they are a new user (i.e. they get a new skype address). Then I seem to have learned that this might not be possible if I or they (?) are in the US.
    Will someone clarify this?
    Skype support tells me that: 
    "Reymark C: I am afraid adding members in somewhere in US is no longer available."
    Is this somewhere on the help pages that I missed.  Being logged-in, skype knows where I am (or where I list my home as).  Why did it let me waste so much time struggling with this?
    Also, why is there this restriction?
    ...after much other talk.....
    L JEPSON: Question: Can I add skype credit to another person's account?
    Reymark C: That;s only possible once he is already added to your manage account.
    L JEPSON: You said I cannot add members in the US.
    Reymark C: Those are only possible outside US.
    L JEPSON: So I can not add anyone to my manager account, b/c I am in the US, correct?
    Aside, why can't the skype support use skype-screenshare?  I wanted to show what I saw.  Instead, we had me sign some online contract, gave control of my computer to the support person.  Spent a fair amount of time doing this.   Enable your users to use skype to see our screens, please, Microsoft.  You can still record the conversation and record the screenshare, can't you?

  • Can't add a new user

    Running 10.8.5 Server on a Mini Server.  ~200 users.  Users are able to logon to their Network Home Directories, use email, change passwords, etc.  They don't seem to see any trouble.
    A few weeks ago it stopped letting me add new users, neither via the Accounts -> Users pane in Server.app nor via Workgroup Manager.app.
    The only error message is a cryptic "Connection failed to the directory server."  The only response offered is OK.
    The only relevant lines in /var/log/system.log are:
    Nov  4 13:41:38 mac001.phy.ilstu.edu com.apple.SecurityServer[21]: Succeeded authorizing right 'system.privilege.admin' by client '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] for authorization created by '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] (2,0)
    Nov  4 13:41:38 mac001.phy.ilstu.edu com.apple.SecurityServer[21]: Succeeded authorizing right 'system.privilege.admin' by client '/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.apple.serverd' [105] for authorization created by '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] (100000,0)
    which look as though the request succeeded, when it didn't.
    Any ideas what I might look at?

    Followup 2:  The discussion in another thread from 4 years ago
         https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2146764?start=15&tstart=0
    ... suggests it's a LDAP/Kerberos problem, although the solution in that thread doesn't even seem to be available in the new Server.app.  They may be right - that stuff is pure black-box voodoo to me.
    Anyway, that thread said to turn on SSL LDAP in Open Directory.  I looked in my Certificates panel, and it seems to be already turned on for all services including Open Directory (except web pages, for which it just breaks any page that uses port 80).  My self-signed LDAP certificates all seem to be valid and not expired.
    Where else can I look?

  • How can you add a new rule in the inspector?

    I've grown very accustomed to the Chrome developer tools, and I've recently decided to try out Firefox.
    Best I can tell, you cannot add custom rules in the Firefox inspector tab. For instance, if I inspect the element on an image in Firefox, I am given all the defined styles (rules) for that element. I can, of course, edit those defined styles. However, it does not give me an option to add my own custom styles unless I jump over to the 'Style Editor' tab and write them in manually. This becomes a problem when I want to write in a quick :hover or a :first-child or reference any other selecter that's not already defined.
    In Chrome, not only do I add/remove/change styles directly in the Inspector, but it also saves a custom inspector stylesheet for me with all the changes I made.
    Chrome example: http://cl.ly/Wm56
    Firefox example: http://cl.ly/WmUP
    Is there any way to add custom styles directly from the inspector tab in Firefox?
    Thanks!

    You will notice an element {} item at the top of the Rules list in the right plane.
    You can click between the curly brackets {} to enter a new inline rule for this element.
    You can do this within other rules {} as well.
    Type the colon to separate the property name and value.
    That is easier than adding a style attribute in the left pane or editing a style sheet file.
    That should work as well as rules added this way show as a style rule.

  • I can't add a new user in my Account Administration Panel, why?

    I have been  using DPS Professional for a while, but now I'm in troubles with it. I was able to create new users and then create applications assigned with the user I added before, but now I just can't do it anymore.
    Even if it's a new Adobe ID, the problem stills. I have deleted current users and then I tried to add them again and no problem occurred.
    I do not know what to do, please help.

    See http://status.adobedps.com/?p=840 for an update on this issue and for a workaround that will enable you to complete the process of adding a new user.

  • Can not add a new member to the existing log group.

    Dear all,
    I just want to multiplex the online redo log to different devices for security reason. I just have one member for each group. So I want to use this command to add a new member.
    alter database add logfile member '/u02/oracle/oradata/TEST/redo01.log' to ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TEST/redo01.log')
    or
    alter database add logfile member '/u02/oracle/oradata/TEST/redo01.log' to group 1.
    But both commands failed with error pasted below:
    ERROR at line 1:

  • Can not add my new printer to the print and scan preferences

    I have purchased a Canon Pixma MG5350 and try to connect it to my mac but with no results. I have installed all the drivers but can not add it to the print and scan preferences. I looked in Applications > Utilities > System Information > USB and it does not even show that it is connected. The printer comes without a USB so I bought a 5m USB 2.0 A to B cable and eventually something is wrong. Is the USB too long, not the right one or what is the problem?

    I have already got my refund for the cable! I tried a friends cable and everything works!

  • How can I add a new section to the beginning of a song project?

    I've been trying GarageBand on my new iPad 3 as a practice aid. I laid down some guitar cords, then dupped some sections until I got a whole 64 bar song. Now, how the heck do I add a couple of intro bars? If I try to add a new two bar section, it always stays stuck at the song end. If I stretch section 1 by a couple bars, it adds the bars at the end of section 1, repeating the last cords, not very useful.

    If you open the section menu there is a tool consisting of three parallel lines. Tap this to reorder the sections.
