AWS/PWS Query changed but old users remain

We had been using an open query to pull all users in AD: (&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user))
The time came to use a tighter query to eliminate disabled and test accounts so we moved to something like: (&(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))
On a test machine with no users the new query returned only about 2173 accounts, however when switching our server with the old query to use the new query it has maintained its higher number of accounts at 2875.
My expectation was that the new query would remove any users that didn't match its criteria (namely the 702 additional accounts). I've run the job twice and the users have neither disappeared nor been disabled.
My understanding is that this deletion takes place at the AWS and not the PWS level.
Is there something I'm missing?
By the way, the job history reports this:
WARNING: 702 users were skipped due to errors. See the job log for details. The Profile Source processed 1 groups and 0 individual users, 2875 unique users in all. The profiles of 0 users were updated. 2173 users were skipped because their profiles were unchanged.
However as I scan through the log to read about the errors all I can see is entries like:
Jan 3, 2007 5:14:23 PM- The user 'MARCH\xJTerragna' was not found on the Profile Source.
The error description was: -2147203837 - PWSProvider::AttachToUser, SOAP PWS could not find the user with unique name '173b6b6c-bc0f-4ab0-bb45-53e48ff0af37'

Hey Geoff,
Did you ever figure this out? In my experience, removing users from an AD or LDAP query results in their getting deleted or disabled. In fact, I would expect a line right after the one you quoted from your log saying that the user was either deleted or disabled, based on the setting in the AWS.
P.S.: You're right, the AWS is responsible for this, not the PWS.

  • I cannot change my old user ID from my Iphone to match my new ID on my pc

    I set up my user Id on my Iphone 2 years ago but 12 months ago I changed ISP and I cannot change the old user ID on my Iphone to my new email address and cannot remember the old password. I have tried Settings>Store but only the new email address appears. If I try updates on my apps it asks for my old Id password and that is where I get stuck, If I go to appleid.apple com it also only tells me that I have only the new user ID. This problem seems to be within the Iphone software, do I have to do a backup and restore to factory defaults and if so are there any problems I may incur?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally.  You will always be asked for the password for this ID when updating them, regardless of what Apple ID you are using currently (in Settings>Store>Apple ID).  This can't be changed.  All you can do to stop this is to delete these apps from your phone so they don't try to update.

  • Bridge Cache Destination Cannot be Changed from Old User and Find does not Work

    Often administrators find themselves in a position of making a new admin account to resolve a lost system drive or some compatibility problem.
    If Bridge has a cache destination linked to this old account, it is due to the older admin account being deleted before the new admin account is setup in Bridge with the cache destination properly linked to the new user cache in the library locations for bridge caches.  This problem causes some headaches with things like keywords and find.
    If you have had to restore your system or generate a "new user" account, it would be important to go into Bridge and ensure that your cache preference in pointing at the right location, before deleting the "old user".  If the "old user" is deleted, you might find the cache location locked to this "old user" in a file structure that no longer exists.  This makes if fixed and unchangeable.
    If you encounter this problem, regenerate the old user name as an administrator account.  Go into that account and start Bridge.  Check the location of the cache file in the preferences.  You will see that it is located in the proper place for this new account.  It is also the same location as your current account which no doubt you have found is frozen into place.
    At this point, while in the "old user" admin account:
    Go get info on your "old user"/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS3/Cache
    Note the folder nest and go to each folder and apply permissions to each of these folders that allow your "new user" read and write access.  You can do this in one step by applying the permissions to the Library folder and all enclosed folders, but who knows what that might do.  Focus on solving the problem.
    Then:
    Switch back to your "new user" (that is your current user) account, open Bridge, go to the preference for cache and you will note, magically, it is now located in the right account, it has been unfrozen from the "old user", once deleted, and now brought back to life to help you get ride of this problem.
    For good measure, press the choose button, you will find you go to the finder to the right location in your "new user"/current user account.
    You will also find that FIND works after this and also Bridge is zippy and fast as it should be.
    You can now quit Bridge, Log Out of your "new user" account, log back in and find that all is just the way it should be.  Once this is done, go into your system preferences for users and delete the "old user" account (into the trash, do not save a thread).
    It seems that there are many situations where reviving and old user id will help with repairs to permissions problems in a mac that has been through system drive failure or significant application conflicts that require making a new user.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Phone number changed, but old number still shows in iTunes and in contacts within Phone app

    My phone number changed, but when my phone is plugged into iTunes, it is still showing my old phone number in the iPhone information box.  Also, when you are in contacts from within the Phone app. and you you pull down the list of contacts so it reveals the space above the search field, it says "My Number: (old number)" instead of "My Number: (new number)".  I have synced my phone with iTunes since the change and my new number has been updated in my name record in the Contacts app. but the old number is still persisting in the aforementioned places.  How do I get iTunes an the space above the search field in the contacts section of the Phone app to display my new number?

    Tank you from me too.  I have been trying to sort this problem out for a few weeks and getting somewhat annoyed! It's so easy when you know! Thanks again

  • Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

    Hi,
    recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Mikl

    I have this same problem.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

  • Server name changed but old server name reflecting

    Hi Experts,
    Issue is In the SQL server name is changed.
    When the user is logging on SAP old server name is appearing and in SAP 8.8 there is no option of change like in SAP 2005B and 2007B  so no database is appearing on screen.
    What should be done in such condition.
    Thanks & Regards -
    Mona.

    In 8.8 you need to add and maintain servers through the license manager of the server tools. Open license manager settings and click the button on the bottom left (Configure Security). Enter your B1 site users details and then in the next screen you can define an additional server as well as remove the old one; I had the exact same issue a few days ago!

  • Creative Cloud says new Photoshop installed but old version remains

         Today, I attempted to update Photoshop CC (2014) and Bridge to new versions.
    The installation appeared to complete and Creative Cloud said the apps are up to date, but they remain the previous versions.
    What can I do to rectify this?

    Well, I must have been mistaken because it says there is no newer version -- and yet when I updated to the new Lightroom CC this evening the Creative Cloud App said there were also updates to Photoshop CC 2014 and to Bridge. And then it said it installed these.
    And my applications folder shows changes to the contents of the Photoshop and Bridge folders at the time I did the updates.
    However the apps themselves remain the same with Photoshop still being 2014.2.2.
    I apparently leapt to the wrong conclusion.
    Thanks very much for your help.

    Restore to Factory Settings... Then Set Up using your Apple ID.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

    I change my AppleID user name but iCloud still has the old AppleID, how do I correct this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • I have changed my icloud user Id and password, but the old user ID still pops up and ask my password. I cannot delete my old icloud account.

    I have changed my icloud user Id and password, but the old user ID still pops up and ask for my password. I cannot delete my old icloud account as it keeps asking password of my old user ID. how can I rectify the problem?

    Hey HKKL,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to the iCloud account after changing your Apple ID email address. The following article addresses this issue and potential resolution:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I just changed my user name to my e-mail address on my iMac. It works fine there but when I try to use my iPhone it still shows my old user name and will not let me enter??

    I just changed my user name to my e-mail address on my iMac. It works fine there but when I try to use my iPhone it still shows my old user name and will not let me enter??

    There is no user name needed to "enter" or use iPhones...
    Assuming you mean your iTunes Store account ID:
    Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out > sign in with new ID

    ive changed my user id on icloud on my pc, when im on my iphone i go to sign in but its my old user id, how can i change it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community mwarbster.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    I bought my iMac from someone. Everything was changed over to my name however when I try to update programs it only shows the old users apple ID and I can't update. How do I change this so I can update the applications and have everything fully under me?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.
