Adding user account from a trusted Domain - SCSM2012

Hello ,
the scenario am facing now that we have domain (A) that has SCSM 2012 management server.& Domain (B) in another forest.
between Domain (A) and (B) there is two way transitive trust with Forest wide authentication .
I need to add user from Domain (B) to UserRole in SCSM in domain (A) ,so I created an AD connector for Domain B
then when i tried to add user from domain (B) to a userrole it gives the below error.
but when i close the user role and reopen it i find this blank entry
the Error
Application: Edit User Role
Application Version: 7.5.2905.0
Severity: Error

As a workaround, you can add the user by searching the user in the following format
domain name\User name or User ID" instead of searching by "User name or User ID".
I am not 100% sure of the technicalities involved but this way you would be able to add the user without any issue.

  • Cannot create MySites for accounts from a trusted domain

    Hi Susan,
    As my understanding, your development and production environments are two (two way) trusted domains in one forest, and the SharePoint instance was built on the development domain. If this is the truth, please first verify whether your production domain account
    profile has been imported into the user profile service application. If it is not, refer to the following article to check the configuration of your user profile synchronization.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049.aspx
    If your user profile can be searched correctly, the issue might be caused by fact that the people picker search was limited to the development domain. Please use the following command to configure the people picker search domains:
    stsadm –o setproperty –pn peoplepicker-searchadforests –pv <list of forests or domains> -url <WebApp>
    More information can be found in

  • How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

    If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
    For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
    (Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

    Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
    (One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

  • Copy a user account from one disk to another

    I replaced the hard drive in my G5 imac, and for one reason or another, using restore failed to create a bootable disk. Instead, I reinstalled Leopard. I would like to copy the old user account from the old hard drive so I can seamlessly continue using my computer. I created a secondary account on the new drive with the same name as the old one, and then copied the contents, but that didn't work very well.
    Can you advise how to restore the account from an old disk for use on a new one?

    Well, the desktop picture was generic, opening firefox gave me the error along the lines of "cannot open firefox, firefox is already open." Trying to download a new firefox tells me that there's no room on the disk. That's about where I stopped. Pretty much everything isn't working right.

  • Not receiving email to my MobileMe account from one specific domain

    Starting 2 days ago I stopped receiving email addressed to my "@mac.com" or "me.com" account from one specific domain. Prior to that I had no problem receiving email from that domain. I have no problems receiving email into my MobileMe accounts from many other senders. People with email addresses under this domain can send emails to my Gmail account from the same origination account and they come through just fine. The emails that do not appear are not in my junk mail and they never get "bounced back" to the sender as undeliverable.
    I use Mail under Leopard 10.5.4 with all updates installed.
    It sounds to me like this domain has been "blacklisted" by Apple but I have never heard of them doing this.
    Any suggestions would appreciated.

    petervan 58,
    Just this one person? Your .mac account is getting mail from others OK? Does the person have your email address correct on their phone.

  • How to transfer user accounts from Active Directory to Open Directory

    Please help me , want to tranfer user accounts from Active Directory (Windows server 2012 ) to Open Directory (OS X server 10..2.9)

    Hi,
    Go to the advanced administration for the OSX Server:
    https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/3.1/#apd6D7FE39D-32AA-400C-91E1-5 0ABC15655C8
    This pretty easy way of connecting your server to the Windows server should give AD users access to OD services. That will be a good start.

  • How do I run a user account from an external HD?

    How do I run a user account from an external HD? I will be away from my desktop iMac and want to use our MacBook Pro overseas for two months with my iMac user account copied to an external drive.

    1. WARNING: This procedure is for advanced users only. Some third-party software may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if the home folder is moved.
    2. Back up all data.
    3. Copy your home folder to the desired location, which must be on a volume of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with file ownership enabled, as shown in the Finder Info dialog. Encryption is optional. The volume must be on a local storage device, not on the network, and it must be mounted automatically at startup — before any user logs in. A disk image will not work.
    The name of your home folder is your short user name. Do not rename it. Do not copy the "Users" folder.
    5. Select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Users & Groups
    Click the lock icon and authenticate. Right-click or control-click your name in the account list, and select Advanced options from the popup menu. In the sheet that opens, change the location of the home directory. Log out and log back in.
    6. Test. If you have problems, reverse the above steps. If you got this far, you should have no trouble doing that. If everything works as you expect, delete the original home folder.

  • Migration Assistant Won't Migrate User Account from Time Machine

    I am trying to move my wife's user account from a Time Machine backup using Migration Assistant.  Migration assistant chugs along for 2 1/2 hours and says everything was transfered hunkie-dorie.  However, when I try to log her on, I can't.  When I log on as me, I went to System Prefs --> Accounts, her username is there.  However, when I look inside the Users folder, none of her information is there.
    thanks in advance,
    tim

    No Filevault on my computer and hers.
    Doesn't work in Save Boot, either.  That is the puzzle.  Her account appears at the login screen--even the flower pic. that was migrated from from the Time Machine backup. The login screen will not accept any password.  I know I'm typing it correctly.  Her account appears in System Prefs --> Users, but it's not in the Users folder on my disk drive.

  • Can't get user account from 10.7.5 to Mavericks with Migration Assistant

    I am perplexed about this one.  I want to use migration assistant to get a user account from an old Mac Pro running 10.7.5 to a 2012 iMac that has Mavericks on it.
    I've tried:
    1 - Migration assistant over the network - migration assistant says the Mac Pro needs a higher operating system, but the computer can't be upgraded.
    2 - Target mode of Mac Pro to iMac: Migration assistant sees the volume, but doesn't acknowledge any user accounts.  It only acknowledges applications, and other files.
    Any ideas folks.  I simply want to bring the user accout over to the new computer and perhaps the applications.

    LOL - I figured it out.  I had to update the Mac Pro which included a new migration assistant update.

  • Excluding temporary user accounts from Time Machine back-ups

    I have some temporary user accounts in addition to the default Guest account on my iMac. I currently have Time Machine backing up my entire system (the default TM setup). However, I'd like back up only my admin and permanent user accounts from now on.
    Having done a little research, I believe I have the answer but want to make sure I'm including all the relevant directories. I believe the answer is to add the specific user folders to TM Preferences > Options > Do Not Backup. e.g., if my hard disk is named "MacintoshHD" and I want Users 'Account1' and 'Account2' to be excluded from all future TM backups, I would add these folders to the Do Not Backup folder:
    /MachintoshHD/Users/Account1
    /MachintoshHD/Users/Account2
    So 2 questions:
    1. Are these the right folders to make sure Account1 and Account2 are never backed up in the future?
    2. Are there any other folders that i am overlooking?
    Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Restoring user accounts from system install backup directory

    Hi,
    I had some kind of disk problem that forced me to reload tiger. When tiger intalled it backed up all of the user directries. After the new install booted up I can not figure out how to restore all of my user accounts from this backup directory. Maybe I am making it too hard (ex PC user). The migtration utility only wants to restore off a Mac or different volume. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If you did an Archive & Install, then you should have selected the saving user and network settings. Otherwise, everything was put into the Previous System folder. IIRC, you need to recreate the users, using the exact same username and password combinations. Then, log into each account, open the corresponding folder within the Previous System/Users/ directory and transfer everything from the old account to current account.
