ADMT 3.2 deletes source account after migration

Hi,
I am using ADMT 3.2 to do an intraforest migration in which two child domains are consolidated into a single child domain. Whenever I start a scripted migration, the source user account is deleted after the migration and I have a problem with this because
I cannot do a rollback in case of a corruption during a migration.
The option file I use with the migration contains the following parameters.
[User]
DisableOption=EnableTarget
SourceExpiration=None
MigrateSIDs=Yes
TranslateRoamingProfile=No
UpdateUserRights=No
MigrateGroups=No
UpdatePreviouslyMigratedObjects=No
FixGroupMembership=Yes
MigrateServiceAccounts=No
UpdateGroupRights=No
Is there any advice on how to prevent deletion of the source account? Thanks.
John

Yes, its a expected behavior using ADMT tool in intraforest migration where during migration of user object is deleted form the source domain and moved to the target domain. You can use Quest tool for migration which provide feature to rollback feature like
keep object disabled during intraforest migration but its a paid tool.

How do i merge my user accounts after migration assistant

Hello,
How do I merge my user accounts after migration assistant from a time machine back up?

I wonder how to plan what account and rights to have where?
I had my old original account on my iMac, and then I "migrated" the data to a user account, in order to have some advantages with that setup. So everything worked approximately ok in this setup.
And yesterday, I tried migrating to a new Mac, and suddenly I get aware of the fact that the rights on these two earlier accounts were important.
And especially, after doing the migration to the new machine twice, until I got the Mail working, I am now totaly bewildered what solution to aim for? How to merge the two migrated admin accounts - keeping the original admin account is also important, since my file system har special rights for that one.
Could anyone give me more ideas about how to proceed? I think I have working Mail on one of the two migrated account (with 100 000 mails or so, it seems so...). The other account is the one I would like to have.
Also I think I want to use a normal user account, not an admin account for my daily use. And I have to see if things still work if I turn off the admin rights...
Thankful for any advice!

Two user accounts after Migration from old Mac

Yesterday I bought a new iMac with OSX Lion. I used the Setup assistant to move my data from my old iMac (Leopard) using Firewire target disk mode.
When that was finished, I was suprised not to see any of my old stuff on my new Mac, so I started copying some stuff manually. It was only later that my penny dropped (Lion noobie here) and I realised I now have two user accounts: my new "Lion" account, and another one which - tada - does contain all my old stuff. Both appear to be admin accounts.
Since I already manually copied all the stuff I wanted to keep to my new account, can I safely delete the old account? How do I do this, and what happens with the old stuff? I read something about the home folder of the deleted user being moved somewhere. Where would that be?
Thanks!

It is easy to delete an account but you wisely used the word "safely". When I migrated to Lion I did an "in place" upgrade and no new adminstrative accounts were created.   Lion will create a guest acount but that can be easily disabled in the Users and Groups preference pane. Did you do an in place or a clean install of Lion?
First, before you delete anything be absolutely sure that the account you want to keep has everything you need. I suggest you work with it a least a week before making that judgement. There is no hurry if you have the space to keep two accounts. I have a spare adminstrative account just in case I need it for troubleshooting. Be sure you backed up your boot drive with a versioned (like Time Machine) and a cloned backup to an external drive.
Go to System Preferences and choose the Users and Groups preference pane. There you will find your accounts and their designations (i.e. adminstrator, guest, standard).   If you are completely satisfied that the admin account you backed up is all you need then you can click on the lock at the bottom left of that pane, enter your adminstrative password, choose the account you want to delete and click the minus button. Once you have done this, it is gone. All of the settings and data you had will be gone unless they were duplicated in another account. Your applications should remain.
That said, there is nothing wrong with having two adminstrator accounts. Some very security minded people suggest that you should not operate from your admin account because it allows access to deep levels in your computer.

But basically, Blackberry need to figure this one out, and fix it.I'm using Gmail in the same way as you, and if this isn't sorted out i will need to change to Android....

Old exchange server 2007 accounts conflicting with Office365 accounts after migration to the cloud

Good day,
We migrated over a month ago from Exchange 2007 to office 365
We have to offices in two different continents, under one single domain. Office in central America, has it's own IMAP web service hosted on 42inc (jondoe@ cenamer .com), Office in Europe (Profit Center) had it's mail services hosted on premise on exchange
2007 server(username@ Europe .com).
Usually employees from Office central America used to visit our Europe office, and we used to make them different email accounts from their 42inc on our exchange 2007. Thus existing in our Global Address Book.
As we migrated, to office 365, everything falls under one entity, but office Central America didn't want to lose their Name of Recognition so they wanted to keep @cenamer.com emails, but since few people already had @Europe.com mailboxes present.
We made @cenamer.com as their primary accounts and after we joined some of the employees their existing exchange 2007 mailboxes, we deleted their @Europe.com mailboxes.
The issue is, in some of our other offices in Europe and Australia, still employees email the office of Central America employees at their old @Europe.com emails, so we added aliases to their @centamer.com as in if Alok Vyas has alok.vyas@ cenamer.com he
also have alok.vyas@ Europe.com , this way we avoid having assigning another license for his @Europe.com mailbox.
But that was unsuccessful, employees getting bounced emails saying such email doesn't exist. They still have in the Address Book the old exchange mailbox of Alok when he was visiting
Please Help.

Tell them to change the address in their address book.
If you post an NDR, we might have a better clue as to what is happening.

I ended with two Administrator accounts after migration assistant

I had to install Leopard again after a failure drive and I use the migration assistant to move all my stuff and now I'm confused because I have two admin accounts. I rename the other one when (following the directions) and I tough I was going to have all my iTunes stuff and pictures and all my contacts in the Address Book, my calendars from iCal, etc on the new account. How can I transfer all this from the old account to the new one? Do I have to keep the two accounts? What if I delete the new one?
As you can see, I'm very confused.
Thank you in advance

Migration Assistant cannot overwrite an existing account with another having the same short name. MA gave you the option of changing the name of the account your were migrating or cancel the process. What you should have done was to cancel the process, reinstall OS X, and this time use a different short name for the initial admin account. So, here's what you can do:

How do I combine double accounts after migration from eMac to iMac?

After using migration assistant I have two accounts, one for my old eMac and one for my new iMac.
Both were running Mac OS (10.5.7)
Also, the Mailboxes in the old eMac account are not in Mail any longer. Can they be found and restored?
Floyd

You are welcome!
For the log out issue have a look: "Apple / System Preferences / Security" and besure that the box for "Log out after ?? minutes of inactivity" is unhecked.
Then Run Repair Disk Permissions from this [How to Repair Disk Permissions|http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/14/how-to-repair-disk-permissions -in-os-x> link and test it for a day or so befor you reinstall the OS X.

Problems with iTunes account after migrating to iCloud

I've been using my iTunes account with a specific credit card for many years without any problem. After I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud aprox. 1 month ago every time I try to pay for an app, song or iBook I get an error message telling me that the postal code of my account doesn't match the one inth bank records. I've checked and the postal code is OK (is the same I've been using for years!). What could be the problem?

Merging user accounts after migration?

Recently got a Macbook Pro. Love it. Transferred information off of an old emac that I had and now have two user accounts. I can't access the files I migrated without switching between user accounts. Is there a way to move the files from the old user account to my new one and just have the one user account from there? I'm very new to Mac so I'm trying to catch up (having been a PC user for far too long).
Any advice would be helpful

HOW TO DELET B1i USER AFTER MIGRATION.

Dear all,
We have a customer enviroment when we migrated their 4 db, we saw a lot of B1i user.
1st. db has 198 B1i user, the second has 123, the 3th has 29, 4th has 38 B1i user.
Someone knows why this user is multiplied with the migration to version 8.8 or when we updated each time a patch and if there is any way to delete them en masse?
I hoppe you help.
Regards
NANCY

Dear Nancy,
The multiple B1i users are usually the result that someone deleted b1i user. This default user should not be touched.
To stop more and more new users, check here: So many B1i users auto created by SAP

Deleted mail accounts after entering sleep mode

Tried this with on line support with limited success. New experience, a problem with my Mac. Upgraded to 10.6 and then update to 6.1 without issue until Wed (9/16). I had two accounts in mail, one connected to hosted exchange, the other to Zimbra server. Both have functioned without incident until I placed the MB in sleep mode. Returned to find both accounts had been deleted and the addressbook synch for Zimbra server was also gone. Strangely the calendar synch for both still seems to work which I assume is related to CalDav. Mail wil not let me add new accounts. In addition the search feature in Finder no longer functions.
At the suggestion of Apple support I set up a Guest log-in account and found that I could create new account and synch to Zimbra again works.
No idea what step to take next.

I think only the com.apple.mail.plist file was damaged, and not the account folders in Home/Library/Mail. This probably happened when you closed the lid to put it to sleep before Mail had completed its housekeeping tasks.
More info, please.

Can't Access I Tunes Store Account after Migrating Cloud

I signed up for Icloud and now can no longer access my acount in the Itunes store. I ended up creating a new ablle ID with Me.com which i have never used when i signe dup for Icloud and then I began getting errorrs when I tried to log into Itunes store with my original Apple ID, which was not a full email address. I went through the motions of trying to recover the Apple ID and it says it sent an email with the Apple ID name, but nothing arrives to the Gmail box that was the email address on the account. When I try to recover password it asks for the email address, which is also the main email address on the new account with the Me.com email address as teh Apple ID so it keeps resetting the password on the new APPLE ID account, which doesn't allow me to see my purchasing history in the Itunes store. Very frustrated as I will now have to change teh login on my Apple TV as well. I would really like to recover my original account, which was a simple ID abdroma and a simple password. Anyone have any ideas

I cannot configure the clients with POP account after migrating the Exchange from 2007 to 2013

Hi,
When i configure the POP account on Outlook 2010 is giving the error message
"Send test e-mail message: Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to submit to this server"
please help me out on this,
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Murugan.S

The OP says users can't send mail. POP is not used to send mail.
I strongly recommend you have users reconfigure their clients to send using port 587. This has been the default configuration since the introduction of Exchange 2007. You can modify the default receive connector, or add another receive connector
to allow clients to connect and authenticate if you want, but when you do so, you will risk causing message mail flow to fail.
I am not going to try to tell you how to do it precisely because I don't want to be a party to you messing up your mail flow. Here's more documentation on receive connectors from TechNet.

Deleted Apple Account after Restoring iPod??

The other day, my younger brother restored his iPod. He went to download an app from iTunes and when the window to sign in popped up, he typed in his Apple username and password. iTunes did not recognize the password, so we went online and continued with "forgot password"...but when he entered his email address, the webpage said that an Apple account does not exist with that email. He just recently signed in with that email address, so we do not know if this is a result from restoring the iPod or if it's an iTunes error...
What can we do??

ADMT - Domain name after migration

Dear all,
I'm planning to migrate my Windows 2008 Enterprise to a new domain Windows 2012.
So the question is as follows:
After migrating the users to the new domain (target.local), what behaviour will have the client computers regarding the computer folder with the old domain name?
I mean if the John's computer has the system user folder from their source domain (C:\Users\John), then when the computer is registered to the target.local domain, the user folders will have to be copied to the new structure profile,
right?
I have doubts regarding the client information against the new domain profile. How do you accomplish this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
