Bulk Uploading of New Users without Active Directory Sync. Possible?
Hello,
WithOUT Active Directory synchronization, is it possible to do a bulk upload of 100+ users onto Project Server 2013 (Online)? If so, how?
In addition, can these new users be setup to default with “User can be assigned as a resource"?
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)
Hi,
it is possible, but not completely.
If you select at least one resource in Resource Center and click "Open", this resource is opened for editing in client. At this place, you can add your new resources with all fields (and Default Booking Type), e.g. with copy/paste from some other
source. They are added as resources. However, editing column "User Logon Account" is disabled, so you can't add this information in client. You need to do this afterwards from Resource Center for each single resource.
And yes - I agree: This is very inconvinient!

Barbara

Need Help creating new user in Active Directory
I am trying to create a new user in active directory via a java application. I have included the code that I am using. I am able to successfully bind to Active Directory. I have been able to change passwords, and delete users, but I have not been able to create a user.
ldapHost : "mta101.DOM101.CEL.ACC.AF.MIL"
domainName: "dc=dom101,dc=cel,dc=acc,dc=af,dc=mil"
existing account: CN=Brett K. Humpherys,OU=Users,OU=CEL
I get the following error on the createSubcontext statement:

I have commented out the password portion and change the ObjectCategory to a 32 and get the same error.

Adding a user in Active Directory
Hi fellows,
I am having a serious problem in creating a new user in active directory. i am using LDAP JNDI code. I can delete and update users attributes, but fail to create users.
ctx.createSubcontext("newuser,full domain", attributes);
when i specify a new user in "newuser" it gives exception invalidnameexception. I don't understand how to create a new entry within the directory structure of predefined tree. by the way, i can create users by active directory explorer but java application is giving exceptions.
Any help will be highly appreciated.A DistinguishedName is of the form e.g. "cn=username, ou=Users,dc=hostname,dc=com". In other words it contains attribute names and values for each name component. Evidently your DN doesn't do that.

We want to authenticate both a device (iPad) to our corporate WLAN, but after authenticating the device we would also like to authentiate the user in Active Directory if possible. Has anyone had any experience with this?
You need to make sure that the server sends the "GeoTrust DV SSL CA" intermediate certificate.

Can I create User profile service sync connection for my site without Active directory?
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to use my site without active directory? our AD policy don't allow farm account to have "Replicating directory changes", If I export AD information to SQL and sync profile from SQL is it possible?
Thanks
TanaponPYes, you can use mysites without setting up user profile sync. But you won't be able to sync information from SQL without having a primary sync setup with AD first. Syncing to something like SQL is designed to augment existing profiles. It
won't create new ones.

Creating a windows user in Active Directory
I am trying to create a user in Active Directory that can log on as any other Windows user, but when I try to log into Windows, I get the following error message:
"The local policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively".
Are there any attributes or objectclass settings that must be set for the user to allow interactive logons?
Thanks in advance!This has nothing to do with JNDI, the object class or attributes.
I assume that you are trying to logon locally to the domain controller with the new user that you have just created.
By default, the domain controller's policy only allows specific users or members of a group to logon locally at the domain domain controller's console.
Either edit the domain controller'sgroup policy and add your newly created user to the list of users permitted to logon locally, or add the user to a group which has already been granted permission to logon locally. -

How to create user in Active directory
Hello,
I'm trying to create a user in active directory via the following example:
String userName = "cn=Jef Klak,ou=Ps Users,ou=Users,ou=Managed,dc=xxx,dc=local";
Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(false);
Attribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectClass");
oc.add("top");
oc.add("person");
oc.add("organizationalPerson");
oc.add("user");
attrs.put(oc);
attrs.put("cn","Jef Klak");
attrs.put("giveName","Jef");
attrs.put("sn","Klak");
attrs.put("displayName","Klak, Jef");
attrs.put("description","IR");
attrs.put("userPrincipalName","[email protected]");
attrs.put("mail","[email protected]");
attrs.put("company", "XXX");
attrs.put("sAMAccountName","jk666");
attrs.put("userAccountControl",Integer.toString(UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT + UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD+ UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE));
Context result = fctx.createSubcontext(userName, attrs);
As a result I'm getting the following error:

Anybody any tips or advice on this one? Or maybe a working examples how to add users in AD?
Listing entries in the AD is no problem, so it's only adding them.
Many thanks,

Creating users in Active Directory through LDAP connector
Hello,
If we need to create users in Active directory using LDAP connector, what are the options for the following:
1) Update back into SAP from AD. LDAP connector updates only in one direction i.e from SAP to Active directory.
2) Can we add additional fields in LDAPMAP which are not standard e.g can we we write our own code to extract data from HR to map the value with an attritube within Active directory?
Regards,
AhmadHello!
I noticed the email in my inbox and understand the reason for deleting it - checked the rules again - no problem with that.
Here is the posting again - sanitized this time.
You can create users in LDAP/AD from SAP without a problem. SAP provides function modules to create/maintain/delete users with LDAP attributes in the correct ou path.
You can also perform group membership assignment in LDAP from SAP if needed.
I have done this quite a few times at different companies that use SAP HCM.
A userid in SAP is created automatically during hiring action with default password e.g. birthday of employee and certain authorization roles based on configured information.
The userid is then created right away in LDAP in the correct ou path (controlled via custom configuration table) and LDAP group membership is assigned.
A job runs every 8 hours to perform delta updates in LDAP.
The userid in SAP and LDAP are locked automatically if the user is terminated using termination action in HR. -
Add user to Active directory using SAP ABAP
Hi Experts,
I am currently working on a security refractor project where we are planning on automating the user creation process in business object and Oracle Hyperion using GRC-BW.
Our Hyperion user management is based on active directory/LDAP groups.
So say for example - we have a new user say ABC and in GRC he select the SAP-BW role 'HYP_FINANCE_USA' then I want to write a program in BW which will see who all users are assigned to 'HYP_FINANCE_USA' role and will go an update the active directory distribution list group named 'HYP_FINANCE_USA'.
Has anyone written a ABAP program or used standard function modules/BADI's etc to add/delete user from active directory/LDAP group ?Would you post your code? I have yet to see any working jndi code to add a user to AD. Thanks.

I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints. Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users. I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins. Any help is appreciated.
Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys. You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately. -

How to create a new user without any sample objects from any other user?
Question as the title.
I had the example dababase installed when I installed the Oracle database.
Every time, when I create a new user, there will be some example objects coming
with the new user.
How can I remove these objects from the new user?
Or, how can I create a new user without the example objects?
Thanks in advance.I think the easiest way for you would be to use OEM.
Just locate each object that you want to remove and right click->remove. Don't bother doing this for any indexes as these will be removed when you drop the corresponding tables.
If you want to try command line through sqlplus then identify the objects you want to remove by selecting from the user_objects view while logged in as this user. This will give you the name and type of object. Then issue the relevant drop command.
It's probably worth making sure you have a valid backup first, just in case things go wrong! -
Cannot install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool on Server 2012 w/ SQL Server 2012
I went to change a user password on the server today and after changing the password I logged into the SQL server to run “Import-module dirsync” & “Start-onlinecoexistencesync” in powershell in order to sync the new password with Exchange Online. After
waiting ten minutes I tried setting up the email on the user’s PC but the new password was not being accepted. I logged into Office 365 and I got the following warning.
"Warning: Last synced more than 3 days ago | Troubleshoot"
So I pressed troubleshoot and the site installed a tool on the server to try and find out what the issue was. After the tool ran it told me that the version of dirsync.exe was out of date and that I should download the new one and install it. So I downloaded
the new dirsync.exe (version 7020 I believe) and tried installing it. I kept getting error after error, different ones to boot.
First it told me I wasn’t part of the FIMSyncAdmins group (so I added myself), then it told me that it could not connect to MIIS server, so I tried starting it and windows said that there was a problem with the sign on used by the service so I had
to reset the password for the local user named “AAD_bfd1d6f0cef7” which was being used by that service. The service started successfully and when I went to install it told me I could not and if the problem persisted I should uninstall the old version and reinstall.
Looking in the log file, before I even install the software I see the following Information...
Level: Information
Date: 2015-03-24 12:49:17 PM
Source: Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
"The current configuration of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool is invalid. Please reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool."
So I tried to reinstall (i even manually uninstalled the old version and removed the folder in C:\Program Files\ called "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync") and on reinstall I get as far as "Installing Components" and then after a little
while it errors out with the error "The install was unable to setup a required component. Check the event logs for more information. Please try the installation again and if the error persists, contact Technical Support. "
Looking at the log file there are a bunch of new entries, created by the installer. There's over 300 new entries and I can not post them all here due to character count restriction. you can find the log file here...
www.clarkfreightways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dirsync_log.txt
Can anyone tell me what is going on, I've been looking through the log files and I can see errors but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.Greetings!
Wanted to know if you've hosted the DirSync tool (latest version) on a VM? Also, if this is deployed in a Production or Lab environment? If it's a lab setup, you may
try installing the DirSync on a new VM / Server (suspecting that it could be some machine related issues).
Here's a Support KB helping with different errors:

If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
