Account name must be unique

I have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.7.2 Server (fresh install).
I created a user in the system preferences, then realized I should've added that user using the Server admin application.
So I deleted the user in the System Preferences, launched the Server app and when I tried to add the user I get the message "The account name must be unique".  It must be seeing some residual from the account created/deleted in System Preferences because I only have 3 accounts in the Server app and this isn't one of them.
Can anyone shed some light on how to troubleshoot this?

I have the same Problem. Why did no one respond? Even from Apple? This new Admin software is the biggest pos I think I have ever seen. And if Apple techs aren't going to rerspond for support, what good is it?
I have a unique account name in the field, even though this pos software keeps saying it has to be unique. Uggghhhhhh. I guess Open Directory is not an option anymore

    This is no string http in your procedure. Then again the error message points to a line 47 outside a stored procedure. I can't tell it is outside, since there is no procedure name.
    But I see that you have this piece of dynamic SQL:
    SET @sql = ' EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = ''DBA_mail_test''
    ,@recipients = ''' + isnull(@recipients1,'''') + ''',@subject = ''' + isnull(@mailheader,'''') + ''',
    @body = ''' +isnull(@tableHTML,'''')+ ''',
    @body_format = ''HTML'''
     Exec(@sql)
    Why is this dynamic SQL at all? Why not just make plain call to sp_send_dbmail?
     EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = 'DBA_mail_test'
    ,@recipients = @recipients1, @subject = @mailheader, @body = @tableHTML

  • Creating a view on KONA & KONH -  Failed with 'Field name DATAB not unique'

    Hi all,
        I am creating a view on KONA (Rebate Agreement) & KONH (Conditions Header) tables. The link is KONA-KNUMA = KONH-KNUMA_AG.
       The field 'DATAB' exists in both tables and I have included those two fields under 'View Fields' . When I tried to activate the View, it fails with 'Field name DATAB not unique'.
       The following is the complete error message:
    Message no. MC060
    Diagnosis
    When you define aggregates (views, lock objects or matchcode objects), you can assign the aggregate fields your own names (the system assigns names to the basic fields automatically). These names must be unique.
    System response
    The system has established that the names assigned to the aggregate fields in an aggregate definition are not unique and issues an error message.
    Procedure
    Assign unique names to the aggregate fields in question.
       Why I am not able to create the view after including a field that EXISTS in two tables, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi,
    you can include both fields (but what for??); most likely KNUMH will also complain after fixing DATAB (just a guess...).
    You can include both fields if you name them differently (different aliases):
    In the view fields tab, enter two different names in the column "view field".
    this will work.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Attempt to deal with changing login account name issue

    Like many companies, we have on a regular basis people who change names due to life situations. I have tried a variety of things to deal with this in SharePoint.
    The changes start with the Active Directory admins, who create the user's new login during a night shift. I get an email about the change. When I look in the user profiles, I see that many of the fields for the user reflect the change. However, the
    actual account name attribute, which is read only to me, never changes during this period.
    So this morning, I once again web searched, found
    http://geekswithblogs.net/rgupta/archive/2011/02/16/change-accountnameloginname-for-a-sharepoint-user-spuser-again.aspx and tried the recommendation.
    I ran
    stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin mydomain\old -newlogin mydomain\new -ignoresidhistory
    The user does not exist or is not unique.
    PS C:\Users\sa_spfarm>
    This is the type of behavior I have gotten over time.
    For the longest time I didn't do anything since the user profile was mostly updated. Then an InfoPath programmer reported getting stale information when trying to get the user's login. After research we found that it was using the account name for the user
    rather than the login attribute (which is properly updated).
    Several times I went through adding all the people who had out of date info in their user profile.
    I recently tried to write some powershell that would at least produce a report for me of all  users in the farm whose account name differed from their logins - I was never able to get code that actually worked.
    Surely there is something simple that I am missing. I am hoping someone reads this who recognizes the problem and lets me know.
    The user profile sync is running - new user profiles appear in the system each day and as I said, in all the cases I have seen, the AD information in the profile has all been updated - except the account name (which I suspect must be an index key or something
    for the profiles).
    Thanks!
    About the only thing I have seen that works is to go into all dozen or more of our site collections and add the user's new login to an appropriate sharepoint permission group - that seems to force the account name update or at least removes the old entry
    and creates a new one (I am uncertain which it does).

    Hmm. Let me see if I can.
    Okay, so if you look at the 3 entries from the detailed user list of one of our site collections, you will see that most users are like the first and last one in this screen shot - where the login column and the user name column have the "same"
    name (one has a domain and the other doesn't... that isn't the issue to which I am referring).
    The middle person however has a user name which was the last login the user had, and has a login string with the correct domain and the correct login.
    When I go to Central Admin > manage service applications > User Profile Service Application > Manage User Profiles and I search for the old name, it is not found in either the missing or the active user profiles.
    When I search for the new name, a user profile is found. When I read through the user profile, there is no attribute which has the value of the old name.
    There are calls from users in this situation which lead us back to user list information like this.
    I have seen a user who was able to sign a document out for change in a doc library, but who could not sign it back in because "it was already out to another person" where the other person is the old name.
    Likewise, as I mentioned, if an InfoPath attempts to pull the user's information back from the sharepoint web service, there have been, at least for us, times when the old name is returned with certain methods instead of the new name.
    The interesting thing in this case is that normally I can fix these by adding the new login into a sharepoint group for the site collection. So far, that has not helped with this user.

  • Using /usr/bin/security for password access confused by repeat account name

    One should be able to lookup a password from the CLI with
    `security find-generic-password -a test -g`
    This formulation seems to assume that you use 'test' as a unique account name.
    If you use a common login name across multiple generic password items,
    then this formulation returns the first match, not an array or
    plist of /all the matches/.
    That is:
    `security find-generic-password -a test`
    returns the first entry of 'test' as an account name, not an indexed plist, as I would expect.
    One must, it seems have to add a comment field per entry to be able to select
    the appropriate generic password
    `security find-generic-password -j server1 -g`
    I've read through the man page a few times, but haven't been able to find a
    way to iterate / specify / select based on account name that's shared across
    entries.
    Anyone else tried this out?

    Hi
    I believe you can set an open firmware password to prevent someone booting from the OS X disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
    At the end of the day though, if someone has physical access to your computer and in particular your hard drive, they could probably access your information anyway by simply removing the hard drive and mounting it in another computer.

  • Unable to log in to the user account (name) at this time

    I tried alot of stuff to gain access to it but I cannot, the only thing that I can do is go in as root user and extract the files that I had in there, but I have no physcial access to the login it self, I started making a different account name for it but I dont want to lose all my prefrenses although I think the only thing that is making it this way is File Vault (its swtiched on for the locked out account)
    Any thoughts?

    I'm also getting the dreaded "You are unable to log in to the user account __ at this time" but believe this happened when I inadvertently tuned off an external hard drive without ejecting it first. At first, I thought it was a File Vault problem, but my user.sparseimage file is still there and accessible once I changed the permissions to those of another user account.
    What I have come to believe, based on other postings I have read on this topic, at least in my case, is that I must have corrupted the logged in user on the netinfo file. The solutions I've seen so far for fixing the netinfo file seem pretty complicated, though I do have a backup of that file.
    I have yet to decide whether the netinfo problem is easily fixable or if I would better employ my time moving my iTunes and iPhoto files off that sparse image and into another user account. I'm open to suggestions.

  • SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

    Hi!
    Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
    10/7/2012 2.497
    11/7/2012 2.723
    12/7/2012 2.722
    13/7/2012 2.699
    16/7/2012 5.055
    17/7/2012 4.963
    18/7/2012 4.954
    19/7/2012 4.998
    20/7/2012 4.965
    23/7/2012 5.117
    24/7/2012 5.012
    25/7/2012 5.071
    As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
    The number of page views remained constant.
    So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
    from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
    #     Visitor                  Page Views    %
    1    Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359        0,55%
    5    Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
    7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
    15  nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
    60  nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
    73  nt\aglsiqueira                 65        0,10%
    "Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
    As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
    About the environment:
    We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
    Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
    This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
    Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Manas!
    First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
    I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
    But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
    I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
    Step 2: Access site "A"
    Step 3: Access site "B"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
    Step 2: Access site "C"
    Step 3: Access site "D"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
    Step 2: Access site "E"
    Step 3: Access site "F"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
    Step 2: Access site "G"
    Step 3: Access site "H"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
    XXXXXXXXXX".
    With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
    I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
    Thanks!

  • Same account name on two computers can't write over network

    I'm having great difficulty synchronizing two computers. One is an iMac and the other is a MBP. They are both used only by me for work. I don't need to share them with anyone else, only with each other. The main account is exactly the same on both of them as the iMac is a Migration of the MBP, so the user name and password are identical.
    Regardless of how I set sharing/permissions on any given folder, I can only read in either direction. Whenever I try to write, it asks for authentication (odd since the volume is already mounted), then says the file already exists (even though it doesn't) would you like to overwrite? I click overwrite, and then it comes back and says "you can't overwrite since the file already exists". Huh?? Looking at the destination the file does exist, but is zero bytes.
    I finally created a dummy admin account on one of the machines, logged into this account from the other, and then things work like you would expect. I can write to those directories of the main account that have write privileges and not to those that don't.
    So my question, is there anyway to just log into the main account, which is exactly the same on both machines and be able to write? This odd behavior seemed to start somewhere around 10.5 as I was always able to do this before.
    Thanks,
    Darryl

    I am having exactly the same problem, also with an iMac and a MBP. My iMac is about 6 weeks old, and I migrated via Time Machine. I can read the files from the connected machine, but cannot write, regardless of which is the host. Permissions are all fine.
    I did notice one thing: the UUID number for the accounts is the same (accounts have same name as with darrylh). You can find this under System Preferenes>Accounts and right click or control-click on the account name after unlocking it. I am working with Apple support on this, but no resolution yet. I suspect that the UUID (Universally Unique ID) should not be the same on two machines, but I don't know the consequences of changing it or which one to change.
    Thanks.

  • Authentication - same account name on 2 LDAP servers

    We have our mac clients set up to authenticate against 2 LDAP servers, one Open Directory, one eDirectory - to keep things easy for our users I want to use the same login username for both OD and eDirecotry users - we basically have users logging into both Windows and Macs, I want a specific set of users to have home directories on our Mac server (only when logging into the the Macs), and to pick up their Windows home directories when logging onto Windows machines. I have the Mac server set above the eDirectory server in the Directory Utility search policy (client machines), but when I log in with a network account I am prompted to choose which account to use (eDir or OD similar screen to having managed users in different groups where you are prompted to choose your profile at login). I thought that by specifying the order in the search policy the client machine would authenticate the first account found rather than prompting for which account to use. Any one know of a way to make this happen - ie set up identical accounts on both LDAP servers and have the macs authenticate the first account found on the server specified in the Directory search policy instead of offering a choice? I hope this makes sense. I know it would be easier to mount a network share on the mac server for certain users and have all the accounts authenticate via eDirectory, but I have to do it this way. Anyone have any advice??

    If your provider won't tell you then you must use their provided router.. some ISP are like that.
