Can't "see" User account name in the GUI anymore ...

Hello Community
    Using WS2012 I created user account in AD. I right clicked a user account and chose "Move".
    The problem is my finger slipped and hit other keys.
    Now I can't see the user account anymore.
    When I run the following command:
        get-aduser -filter 'Name -like "user1"' I get the results below:
            DistinguishedName : CN=user1,DC=<DomainName>,DC=<SomeName>,DC=us
    The problem is how can I "see" what folder name, OU or the group's name that user1 resides at in
the GUI?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

If I understand well, you were able to get the user DN. Based on the name, the user account should be directly under your domain (Not under an OU or a Container). So, use ADUC and select your domain. Once done, you should be able to see the user account.

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 contacts are not listed

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account, I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account

I can no longer see my account name so I can gain access to my information, but now all I get is a Guest user account and it won't let me log into that account. All it lests me do is re-start the computer and use it in restricted mode. Can someone please help me!

Recommendation for your consideration
Hopefully your original user account was an "administrator". I have two admin accts in case one admin. acct gets "trashed.
Lets see what other forum members offer: my solution requires use of terminal and works. CLI (Command Line Interface) might be intimidating for you but we'll see what others possibly offer.
As I say the solution I have works well and will allow you to create new user(s) replacing your former users whatever type they were. I promise to check back today if no solution to you is offered...
Let 'er rip and...
cheers

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

After installing new operating system software, my user account name has been changed and i don't know the password.

i need help!
I just installed Mac OS Maverick in my laptop, but when i checked the Users&Groups There are only 2 User name 1 is "Apple(admin) and 2 is Guest, my user account name has been changed even the password. how can i retrieve my old user account name and password or how can i changed it?

Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

I am attempting to burn a disk and get the message to authorize my laptop. I have done this. Can I update my account name on purchased media?

You might be using an invalid email address that you are sending to or your mail settings for the account are wrong. Check the address and I would delete the email account and reenter it

The user account in which the Oracle VSS Writer Service is running does not have the DBA privileges to log in to the Oracle instance.

VSS-00011: Connection to database instance <instance_name> failed.
Cause : The user account in which the Oracle VSS Writer Service is running does not have the DBA privileges to log in to the Oracle instance.
Action : Run the Oracle VSS Writer Service in a user account that can connect to the Oracle instance with DBA privileges.
I have assigned ora_dba group to the user that runs the Oracle VSS Writer Service which is the only Oracle solution but still getting
the above error. Was advised to raise the issue here that it is an OS issue. Pls help

The user account cannot access Oracle Database instance. And also how do you temporarily disable security software on the server.
Have you checked what I already asked for? "Try using the user account and access the Database Instance.
That will let you see if the problem is with the user account permissions or not."
If this does not help then you can contact Oracle as suggested by Dave.

How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
How can I do it?

Hello,
The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
Here is how it looks like:
NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
by Microsoft such as [email protected],
[email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
cmd, then hitting Enter.
At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
Enter.
This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
Now lookup this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
Hope this helps.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

No user account name on backup drive to boot from

My internal hard drive crapped out, and in using disc utility off the install disc it could not be repaired and reads "un-repairable disc" or something to that matter. But I have a second internal hard drive I've been using to back-up my main drive. So I tried to launch off that instead, but to my surprise it has no user account name so I can't log or use any password and all the blanks to log in are unusable...
Any suggestions? How can I create a user account and boot off the other drive?

How did you Backup? What APP did you use?
On the main Drive...
Unfortunately DU can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.

Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!

Editing User Account Names

How do I edit a user account name, e.g. from "John Smith1" to simply "John Smith"? Can the short name be likewised edited? Does having a "John Smith" in the Deleted Users Folder affect this?
Mike

1) Changing the account name can be done from the System Preferences > Accounts prefpane.
2) Changing the shortname is not a trivial task and is generally discouraged, but there are utilities such as ChangeShortName that will do it.
3) No.

How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
