AC 5.3 - Info on deleted users

Hi All,
is there any possibility to see information on deleted users in the deferent components of AC ?
thanks
Yudit

Hi Yudit,
The user deletion in CUP is done through workflow.
So you can do the following to find deleted users
CUP -> My Work -> Search Requests ->
Here you can choose
Request Type=Delete Account
Status = Closed
Now you can see all closed delete account requests.

Deleting User/Groups in Info/Sharing&Permissions

Recently duplicated original start-up drive using CarbonCopyCloner. Hadn't noticed before but a "wheel" group showed up under Sharing & Permissions in the Get Info window with "Read only" permissions. Also have (unknown) user with "Read & Write" permissions. Only myself and guest shows in Accounts pref pane. Have repaired permissions in Disk Utility on all my drives. Obviously, I'd like only myself to have permissions on my Mac. Can I just delete the names in the Get Info window without any consequences? Is there a more appropriate way to make myself the only user on account?

OK, I think I have this figured out. My terminal skills aren't all that, but using man dscl I figured out how to manipulate this database to do what I want...
First used this to see what was in the database of usernames/groups:
sudo dscl . list /groups
Found offending entries not wanted (username, _unknown, etc) and removed like so:
sudo dscl . delete /groups/(name to remove)
Did same for user accounts:
sudo dscl . list /users
sudo dscl . delete /users/(names)
Seems to have worked to get rid of weird entries like _unknown and "nobody".. BUT Finder still includes this weird "(unknown)" with read permissions on every new file... What gives?
So what I see in the database for users right now is thus:
_amavisd
_appowner
_appserver
_ard
_atsserver
_calendar
_clamav
_cvs
_cyrus
_devdocs
_eppc
_installer
_jabber

_sshd
_svn
_teamsserver
_tokend
updatesharing
_uucp

and for groups is thus:

Where is (nobody) coming from then and why can't I delete it in file permissions (or even change its permissions to "NoAccess")... This is really problematic for me. I definitely am not understanding something here about permissions and where they come from..

Deleted user dmg has no info in it

I deleted a user and have a saved dmg in the deleted users file. I need to access some files that were on their desktop. When I click on the appropriate dmg, it mounts, but then there is no info inside. Any ideas/suggestions? Is there somewhere where I can find the deleted users files? Thanks,

Yes, that is what I tried. The dmg will mount and say that it has 4.6 GB of info, but then there is nothing in it?!?! I'm thoroughly confused. Everything happens exactly as in that article you suggested, except there is no info inside the mounted disk.
Found the most important file, for some reason was unreadable at first but fixed that, now I would like to view the dmg, but am ready to throw in the towel if this doesn't have an easy answer. Thanks

Logging info about user, when deleting user from IDM

Hi,
I would like to be able create a report showing deleted users the last month.
The problem is that I also need to fetch the user fullname, and some other IDM attributes as additional columns.
This is not supported with a standard audit log report.
So I would guess that I have two options:
1. Somehow log information while the user is deleted. For example, somewhere in the "Delete User" workflow.
But I can't find the values I'm looking for there. They are not available to me. (a user view for example).
And it also seems hard to pass those values from the "Deprovision Form" to the "Delete User" workflow.
So my question is here: How do I get access to a user view in the "Delete User" workflow, is that possible?
2. I can get the values by looking directly in the audit log for each deleted user. There I can have a look at the ACCTATTRCHANGES to see what the users name was.
But if the AuditLog has been cleared, then that information might not be available.
I'm stuck..
Anyone here that has an idea of how you can fetch deleted users fullname?
Thanks & Regards,
Henrik

Hi,
One possible solution can be to add a handler in the delete user workflow.
For every user that is to be deleted, write the requird information in a file/database. In your report query the information from there and geneate it.
Note: You have to add condition to check if the users was properly deleted from IDM and resource (just to be sure) and then write/store the information in the File/table.
If you want to store the information in the auditlog only, there is a column called comments that you can use, for this also, some customizations is needed in the Delete User Flow.

No "Deleted Users" folder

I used the Migration Assistant to transfer a user's settings and files from one laptop to another. The user's account had already been manually created on the new laptop, and contained some files I wanted to keep.
During the migration, I received a dialog advising that the user to be transferred already existed, and gave the option to save the existing user's files under the "Deleted Users" folder - perfect for my needs.
However after the transfer, I cannot find a Delete Users folder (or anything similar) anywhere on the disk, and cannot locate the files of the existing user account anywhere.
What has happened to the promised backup of the existing user's files??
(Before you criticize my actions too much, yes, I do have an external backup of sorts, but not totally up-to-date. And I launched the Migration Assistant with a view to exploring my options - if it had not suggested moving the existing account to a Deleted Users folders, I would have done something very similar myself maually!!)

Your profile says Leopard. If so, wrong forums. If not, update your info. As for Deleted Users, if created it exists at: "name of boot volume"/Users/Deleted Users/.

A 56 gb .dmg file in my deleted user folder

I have a G5 tower running os 10.3 with 150GB of space. I am running out of room on my had drive because I have a file named melindabeck.dmg (my name) in my deleted users file that is 56 GB.
1. What is this file?
2. Can I get rid of it without endangering my user folder (admin)?
3. How do I delete it?
Thanks, Melinda

Melinda.. it looks like you created a new user account and then deleted the old user account...if everything is ok with the user account you are using...you can delete the old account (drag it to the Trash) ......which is located at....
HD/Users/Deleted (Folder)
Did you do perform similar procedure such as this....
Accounts<Deleting User .... using System Preferences (p29)
• You must be booted up in your Admin account before attempting this.
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151625
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106256
IMPORTANT: If the user's account is encrypted (FileVault is turned on), turn FileVault off for the user before you delete the account.
• You can not delete your Admin Account using this method.
1. Choose System Preferences from Apple Menu and click "Accounts"
2. Select the user account you want to delete and click the minus button in the lower pane
3. A window will pop up asking you if you're sure this is what you want to do. It also gives you a choice as to what should be done
4. If you click "Delete Immediately", the user account will removed.
5. If you click "OK", the account will be removed, and a disk image will be created of the contents of the deleted user account. In case you want to
re-instate the user,The path is:..... HD/Users/Deleted (folder)
6. Your last option is "Cancel" , if you change you mind.

Changing a deleted user's password

I recently had a deleted user where I needed to recover some emails from.
I restored a copy of the post office, placed this copy to allow direct
access and opened their mailbox using the /ph- switch.
However this user had placed a password on their mailbox. Luckily I was
able to figure out what the password was. However it occured to me that
I wouldn't have known how to clear this password because her mailbox was
"offline".
Does anyone know what I could have done to change/remove the users'
password?
Thanks.

I have now tried this, but it does not seem to clear the user's password.
I have included the gwcheck.log file below.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Purge Deleted Users

Hello there,
I have tried to delete a user through identity server console and add a new user with the deleted user's id again later on. I got an error "Could not create the user. Conflicts with deleted user". What I understand here is that the deleted user entry is not purged from the directory server yet.
I tried to purge the deleted user by using "commadmin domain purge" command. Before I can purge the domain, I also understand that I would need to first do a "csclean" to remove the deleted user's calendar from the calendar database and "msuserpurge" to remove the deleted user's mailbox. However, when I tried to run "csclean" and "msuserpurge" commands, both prompt me the error message of "Must be in virtual domain mode to use this tool.
Initialization failed .... exiting".
What should I do in order to execute "csclean" and "msuserpurge" successfully?? Or, is there any other way to purge the deleted user besides running "commadmin domain purge" command ??
Please advise. Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just for anyone else searching for info on deleting mail in pop/imap accounts...
'man ipurge' for manual page.
ipurge executable is located in /usr/bin/cyrus/bin so either cd there first or give full pathname to executable.
Must be run as cyrusimap user (hence sudo -u cyrusimap in Chakravarthy's example)
In my own case, I was deleting a 72M file which had been mailed internally to every pop user. Local users were OK, but all the remote VPN users were seizing up due to the low bandwidth VPN. The command I used was...
sudo -u cyrusimap ./purge -f -m 50
Gives excellent feedback on any deletions.

CSUtil -s and list of (deleted) users?

I would like to
get a text list of the defined users so I work with csutil.exe -d. This
tool writes a dump.txt file that includes deleted users (I don't see
them via the web interface).
I tested csutil -s to "make database smaller
by removing deleted users" as it is written in the doc but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to get a copy of the user list presented on the web
interface ? If not, how can I identify deleted records in the dump file
(a status fields anywhere ?).

I searched some TAC cases for answers to your questions.
Here's what I found:
"Like many relational databases, the CiscoSecure user database handles the deletion of records by marking deleted records as deleted but not removing the record from the database. Over time, your CiscoSecure user database may be substantially larger than is required by the number of users it contains. To reduce the CiscoSecure user database size, you can compact it periodically."
It looks like to remove the deleted users, you need to compact the database with a command like this:
CSUtil.exe -d -n -l
Please refer to this link for more info about compacting the dB & to make sure you follow the precautions like backing up the database, etc.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/csnt30/user/ae.htm#72126
Seems like once you compact the dB, you can re-run your report to dump out all the users. This time, the deleted users should not be there.
thanks

Deleted User forlder reappears with TextHarvester.dat Microsoft file

I deploy Win7 x64 Enterprise build, and before I run sysprep, I delete a folder from a deleted network login. However, when the image is deployed on all the machines, that folder reappears. That user should not exist on the machine. When
I go to User management, that username does not appear. When I delete that Username folder, Windows recreates it.
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InputPersonalizaion\TextHarvester\TextHarvester.dat
How can I prevent Windows 7 from creating that file and that folder structure? Also, why is it being created, and where is that info stored?
Thanks!

This one stung me as well, and took ages to locate the problem.
The issue is the Windows Search Service, which is actually recreating this folder on shutdown. To highlight this, delete the folders, then stop the search service and voila they come back again. I thought it might be a problem with the search index and under
Control Panel, I rebuilt the index and once again these files from the deleted user profiles re-appeared.
My solution was to uninstall the Windows Search feature, reboot and then reinstall it. Testing so far shows that the problem is not reoccuring.
Why did it happen? In my case, possible because the Windows 7 image we are building has the User profiles moved to D:\Users, and in the unattend.xml this is done after the Search Service is installed, so perhaps the fault lies there. By default the
Search Service is set to not index the AppData in the Users folder.
Hope this helps others.
This solution works great!
Uninstalling Windows Search and the re-installing it solves the problem. :)

Deleted users

Just wondering if anyone can lend a hand regarding this. Discovered that a good chunk of my HD is tucked under a deleted user. Is this something I can safely delete? Seems that the bulk of the info exists under a different user (the one I use everyday).
Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Yes, as long as you're sure you won't need any of the files again. Nothing critical to the OS is stored in /Users/.

SMPs not deleting user state as configured

We have CM2012 SP1 R2. Some of our SMPs are running out of space. They are configured to delete user state data after 14 days but I see in some cases there is older user state data sitting on the SMP taking up space.
First question is why is the user state data not deleting after 14 days as configured on the SMP properties?
Second question is, is it safe to delete these folders manually? Or is there a better method to "clean-up" the old user state folders?
Thanks much!
FP

Just a public service announcement... Don't delete the whole directory that holds user state info, just delete the USMT sub-folder and leave the large cryptic-named folder on the state store intact. If you delete the whole folder then SMS_Executive
service will start to crash and bring down the site server that your SMP is on. For more info see this article:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5589-sms-executive-service-crashes/
Thanks,

Can you restore a deleted user?

Is there a supported way to restore a 'deleted' user?
Client has accidentally deleted a user. The database record is not actually deleted, but OUSR.Groups is set to 99, so the record is still there.
The clicnt does not want to replace the deleted user with another because they have several databases so they would have to do it in them all to avoid using another licence.
I suspect that there is not a supported way to do this, but I thought that I would check on here.
Regards,
Douglas

hi doughlas,
Check this sap
note 827232 - Recreation of deleted users
Summary
Symptom
It is not possible to recreate a user that has been removed with the
same user code. When trying to do so, error message "Cannot insert
duplicate key" is displayed.
Other terms
Cancel, remove, delete, add, code, name, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
It is by design that a user that has been removed is still stored
in user table OUSR as he might be linked to transactions and
therefore needs to remain in the table. The field "User Group" in
table OUSR indicates whether a user is deleted or not (deleted users
have the value "99" in this field).
Solution
You need to recreate the user with a different code.

Deleted User's Locked files won't open URGENT!!!

Ok, I had two users on my computer. I trasnfered a file to one of the users accidentally, and then deleted the user. I then realized that I needed a file on that account, and want to get it back. I went into the hard drive, and it says that it is a deleted user, but they are all locked. I went to Get Info and tried to unlock it, and it won't work. I need to get these files ASAP, but nothing seems to work. Please help!

Select the folder in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon and authenticate. Give yourself read & write access, then click Apply to Enclosed Items.

Snow Leopard Server - Can't delete users in WGM?

Hi!
I have 2 Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 machines. One is an OD-master and the other is a replica. Since last week I haven't been able to delete user accounts in WGM. It doesn't give me any error and at first glance it looks like the account is deleted, but the account pops up again when searching for that user i WGM.
I also noticed that Server Admin freezes and need a force quit when I click the "Settings" tab for det OD-service.
I suspect the two problems are related somehow, but I can't figure out how to fix them. I've read through a couple of forum posts here but couldn't find anyone with a similar question/problem.
Changing passwords and other settings work fine on user accounts. The syncing between OD master and Replica also works.
The problem is identical on both machines. Deleting accounts doesn't work and Server Admin crashes when checking the "settings" tab on the OD-service.
Has anyone got a clue what I should do och look for?

I managed to solve the problem a couple of days ago. This is what I did.
At first I thought Server Admin crashed when choosing the OD-service, but I was mistaken. It didn't crash, just stalled for a long time (up to 20 minutes as soon as I clicked on something in the OD-service).
My main concern was that my latest OD-backup was a month old and I really wanted a fresh archive before I tried to rebuild the OD-master. So if you already have a working archive you can skip the next part.
Another problem was that the archive-feature did not work at all on any of my two servers.. I could reach the archive-function (with 20 minutes delay on each click) but it resulted in no archive and didn't give me any errors, so I'm glad I checked to see that an archive was actually made. So I promoted my replica to an OD-master and after that Server Admin didn't freeze for 20 minutes any more in the OD-service and the archive function worked again. So I did a fresh archive.
Now that I had a fresh OD-archive I demoted the (original) OD-master to a Standalone server. Then made it an OD-master again and imported the OD-archive I made from the replica. Everything worked fine and I could delete users again and Server Admin didn't freeze any more. I hooked up the replica to the OD-master and since then I've had no problem. I hope this helps someone else with the same/similar problem.
