AD user account and description field

Has anyone ever encountered login problems if there was verbiage entered in the AD description field that had carriage returns(line feed)  I am hearing that somehow the description filed  is not just harmless text   but can  have
effect on login ability where as the comment filed is benign  ? 

The description attribute is not used during the logon process. So it does not affect the ability for the user account to log on.
I guess that if you are suspecting this to be an issue, you do see a problem with that account. Maybe other attributes of the user are affecting the user (logon time or logon workstation restriction for example).
Do you have some logs to share, error message or anything for this user?

  • How can I find the user that created a user account and the user who last updated the account

    How can I find out who created a user account and who last updated the account. I think that this is the same information that is displayed in the description field on the General tab.
    I am using ADO commands and vbscript

    I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
    modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
    the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.

  • Keyword and description fields missing when add bookmark

    vers 37.0.1
    In a recent upgrade I notice the keyword and description fields are missing when "bookmark this page".
    When view bookmark properties in bookmarks sidebar these fields appear

    You can make the fields visible with code in userChrome.css ()they have visibility:collapse).
    Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #editBMPanel_keywordRow,
    #editBMPanel_descriptionRow,
    #editBMPanel_loadInSidebarCheckbox {
    visibility:visible !important;
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

  • I changed user account and now Time Machine won't back up.

    A few months ago I had a problem with my user account. I can't remember the details but i think it would no longer accept my password. After doing some hunting around for answers i made a new user account with administrative priviledges and transferred all the files over to that account. I also changed the permissions on those files to allow me to access them as a new user identity. For the most part that seems to have worked for me, although possibly i have not done the right thing.
    Anyway, i have just realised recently that although the little circular arrow that indicated that Time machine is backing up my files, it hasn't actually made a backup since the end of august, which was possibly when i did this funny thing with my user account.
    I am assuming that Time Machine has just got very confused about the disappearance of my files from the previous user account and change of permissions etc.
    What can i do? I read on 'pondini.org' that i could reset my time machine by deleting the preferences file from my system library and then rehooking up my external hard drive as the desired backup volume. It would then, i assume make a full backup to begin with?
    Any advice gratefully received. I am a graphic designer and i do need to have my files backed up!
    thanks
    Lesley
    ps i had some extra  RAM installed a little while before the user account problem and only mentioning it here in case that is an issue with Time Machine as well.

    Hi Lesely, sadly the great pondini has passed away.
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

    Can't imagine something not being covered there.

  • How do I create a new user account and migrate my data to it?

    I have problem with Adobe Bridge crashing when I exit Camera Raw.  I was advised by my local apple service store to create a new user account and test Bridge using the new account.  It works fine.  So what do I do now?  I don't know what in my account is causing the conflict but assume that the solution might be e newly setup user. 

    Checking the behaviour in another user account is a TEST, not a solution! You don't need to move everything over. Otherwise, every time you get a user account problem, you'll keep moving to a new user account again and again.
    If the problem does not occur in a new user account, then the cause is something IN your user account. This is usually a Preference file. Adobe Bridge seems to crash a lot, and it can usually be fixed by deleting the Bridge folder in <user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
    You can also try deleting the Bridge preference file, which will be in <user>/Library/Preferences, and called com.adobe.bridge5.plist (or similar).
    If that doesn't work, you can test removing a whole bunch of the various Adobe files in those folders. You can always put them back if they don't change anything. And you've got a backup, haven't you? ;-)

  • HOW TO SHARE MY ITUNES LIBRARY WITH MY WIFE ON SAME IMAC WITH DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNTS AND APPLE ID'S. PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY!

    I just created an Apple Id for my wife and a user account for her.  We are on the same computer (iMac). I cant for the love of God get my itunes library to show on her user account on computer.  My library shows up under shared library when i select it it just keeps loading and nothing.  When i try the hold down option while opening itunes on her user account and then choose library my library doesnt show up as option.  What in the world am i doing wrong, why is Apple making this so difficult. We are not going to buy separte computers just to share itunes content. Please help.

    You can sync devices with the same iCloud ID, not seperate ones.
    If she has a different login on your Mac, make sure she has her own ID defined in System Prefs > iCloud

  • We are having sync issues when trying to use separate user accounts and Apple ID's on the same iMac. What can we do?

    My wife and I share an iMac and we each sync to it using separate user accounts and separate Apple IDs. She has an iPad 2 and I have an iPhone 4. We upgraded the mac to Lion and the iphone to OS 5. Now itunes only recognizes my apple id no matter which user is logged in. Now if I download the Home Depot app to my phone it automatically gets pushed to my wife's iPad, which she does not want. We want to keep things separate. How can we do this?

  • HT4796 I used migration to transfer iTunes from pc to mac book. It had me set up another user account. Now i have 2 user accounts and i have the iTunes on the wrong one. How do i get the iTunes on the original account.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • What exactly happens to my apps and settings when i create a new user account, and delete all the other user accounts?

    Such apps and settings that apply to icloud, appstore, and itunes. I know the apps will still be in the new account and any other purchased apps will be in the appstore for re-download. But what will happen I delete user accounts and choose not to save any folders or files of the soon to be deleted user accound? I don't have a disk to do a clean install and I'm trying to give my super old macbook pro to a friend and I want to make sure the laptop is his and everything of mine is gone. Will erasing free space do that trick?

    If it is not installed in HD>Applications folder and installed in a user account then it's gone with the user account. It's that simple.

    This should help you out after  you have created the new user account. You are trying to make it much more complex than it needs to be. Just follow the directions in:

  • I have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

  • Deleting a User Account and All the Files

    Hello , I would like to delete my daughters user account and everything in it to Free Up much needed hard drive space that it is taking up because the user now has their own Macbook Pro.
    I am the administrator and I am tringy to delete her account using system preferences , but I just get both the spinning progress circle and the dreaded spinning beach ball at the same time which just keeps spinning ... on and on and on .. after I go through the prompts asking me if I really want to delete the account.
    Any help ?

    Yeah but OSX is strange, you need lots if free space to delete files, you need more free space for more memory, you need more free space even for a larger hard drive!
    That should be enough though.
    Go to the Users folder and do a Get info on her folder, what size is it?
    Maybe try deleting her Documents folder ther instead of in her account, does that work?
