Cannot remove deleted user from people picker - SharePoint Foundation 2010

So I think I've read all the people picker articles here and I can't find a solution so I thought I'd start a new thread. Here is the issue:
A user was deleted from Active Directory and removed from SharePoint Foundation 2010. The user was still showing in the People Picker within the site collection, so we have performed a few things to try and get rid of this user.
User is deleted from AD
User is deleted from SharePoint Site Collection
Have tried stsadm -o deleteuser
Have removed all mention of this user from UserInfo table
User does NOT show in
https://<SiteCollectionURL/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0
Cannot find any mention of this user anywhere.
Ran a full crawl as we read on a forum somewhere that it might help.
If I try and add the user back to SharePoint I get "The user does not exist or is not unique"
If I try "stsadm -o deleteuser -userlogin DOMAIN\USER -url https://<sitecollectionurl>" I get "The user does not exist or is not unique"
I am not sure what else I can try now. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Vinny

No other domain trusts that this user could be in.
Just so everyone can stop with the warnings, we do NOT regularly delete users from the UserInfo table and fully are aware of the problems behind it, which is why it is so rarely done. But at times, you have to do what you have to do to help a customer, you
know? This one user is the only one that was removed from the UserInfo table, but there are a few other users that are also deleted (from SharePoint, not manually from UserInfo) that are still showing as well. This one user included.
There MUST be another place that the people picker gets it's information from. ALL of the user's old information still shows in the people picker (username, email address, display name), and yet none of that information exists anywhere other than in the
People Picker. Mailbox is gone from Exchange, User deleted from SharePoint, User deleted from Active Directory. Is there no cache someone could point me towards that People Picker might store information in.

Cannot delete users from Catalog Manager

We're trying to delete users who no longer have access to OBIEE from the Catalog Manager. When we try we get an error saying access denied for user to path /users/[userid]... I know we can go out to the file system and manually delete the folder but we would like to use the Catalog Manager for this so that we can delegate this to our security staff.
Is a configuration setting wrong somewhere? It fails with users who have been granted admin rights as well as for the administrator id.
Security is configured with Hyperion Shared Services via an initialization block This is working fine. When we add a user to a group in Shared Services, the user catalog is created when the user logs in. We just can't get rid of it after removing the user from the Shared Services group.
We are running everything except the Admin Tool on AIX.
Thanks.
Jerry

I'm not sure I understand.
My system is configured to use Hyperion Shared Services for authentication. We do not create users in OBIEE. We create groups in OBIEE and assign them privileges. We then create the same groups in Shared Services. We add users to the appropriate group in Shared Services. When the user logs in, their user folder is created. When we need to remove a user's access, we take them out of the Shared Services group. We then want to delete their user folder in the catalog. We log in as an admin (we even tried this with the Administrator account), but we get the error.
Is there any way to delete users via OBI Presentation Services > Administration > Manage Catalog?
Thanks.
Jerry

Cannot delete users from the Central Management Console

I cannot delete users from the Central Management Console. I'm logged in to Enterprise as administrator but still get the following error:
There was an error while writing data back to the server: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Delete objects' (id - 22) for 'koberg' (id - 725415). Please contact your system or permissions administrator if you require this right.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Oops, my mistake, sorry. Ok, so the Administrator cannot delete user koberg.
Check top level:
Logon to CMC, browse to Home > Settings and select the Rights tab. These are your top level settings. Factory default will show only Administrators and Everyone. Select the Net Access "Advanced" for the Administrators group. NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the top level! On the Advanced rights page, ensure the right to "Delete objects" is explicitly granted.
Then set for the Users top level folder:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. Select the "Rights" button. Again - NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the Users top level folder! Set the Administrators group to "Full Control". Save.
That should be all you need. However, there is a possibility the previous admin was busy setting security not only at the account level, but on groups so we need to verify the user:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the Rights tab. If the Administrators is not set to (Inherited Rights), make it so, and when you select the "Update" button, you should see the Net Access update to "Full Control". If this is the case, you should follow these steps on each account and accomplish this.
And if you still can't delete it, verify the groups:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the "Member of" tab. Note all groups koberg is a member of. Then in the CMC, browse to Home, and select Groups. Select the name hyperlink for the group(s) that koberg belongs to. On the group page, select the Rights tab, and ensure the Administrators have (Inherited Rights) - Full Control on all of these, also. If not, set it.
Finally, I know you inherited this, but let's overview some basics of simplifying your deployment administration. Follow these guidelines, and your administration life will be so much easier.
1. The Everyone group should never have any subgroups. Ever. All accounts on the system are a member of the Everyone group. Adding subgroups to the Everyone group is redundant.
2. For simplicity's sake, Application level access should be set on the Adminstrators Group, and the Everyone group. I know there are customers who add groups to application rights. I don't understand why users would have an account on the system if they are not allowed access to InfoView, but it's your system.
3. From a report object perspective, the Everyone group should be set at the top level to "No Access". This will result in them having no rights on anything at all. You break this inheritance at the application level to give them access to InfoView and other apps. On folders and objects, you ADD groups, then assign (ADD) rights as desired.
4. If you can help it, never explicitly deny a right to any user or group for any object or application. Explicitly deny overrides any other setting. If a user belongs to group A and group B, and group A is explicitly denied a right, you can explicitly grant it for group B or the user all day long, and it will still be denied. Always try to put yourself in the position of adding groups/users, and adding rights, then inheriting as far down the folder tree as you can.

Powershell script for removing some users from a particular Site Collection

Hi,
I am looking for a PowerShell script to delete a few users from a particular Site Collection. I am unable to delete them from/_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx page therefore need some other medium to
delete users from the site collection.
My ultimate aim is to have no user profile with "tp_deleted" field's value as 0 in the USERINFO table. Currently there are about 40 odd users with this field's value as 0 and this is affecting my crawling of this content database.

Thanks for the reply Alex & eHaze,
I have a content source of root site which crawls all the site collections under it. Out of the 9 site collections, only 8 are getting crawled and 1 doesn't get crawled at all. The error in the crawl logs is
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when requesting data from the web service. ( Error from SharePoint site: Value does not fall within the expected range. )
I tried a lot of things, searched over the net and finally found
this which helped me solve the same issue in my development environment. I deleted these users from userInfo table and ran a full crawl. And the issue was fixed.
Now since I cannot delete the users from userInfo table directly from PROD environment, I used .../_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx list
to delete users from this site collection. While some of the users I could delete, quite a few I could not. Clicking on the profile redirected me to the home page rather than the info page of the profile.
This
is why I have to delete these users from the site collection.
Alex - the link you shared, I guess it is for a web application level.
eHaze - the script you shared throws this error:
Get-SPSite : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url: http://dev-apps/divisions/BT. At C:\PowerShell Scripts\DeleteUserFromSiteCollection1.ps1:4 char:19

hope this info helps.

How to manage deleted user from AD

I can see this question was posted several times , but I am wondering if somebody can tell me what is actually right process when user is deleted from AD or when user or when usrer’s properties get updated.
Here is the scenario:
All users are synchronized via AD connector to CMDB, and they can be seen in User View in SCSM (configuration item- users)
User A leaves the company. The our process is to disable uses’s account
and rename it by adding the date when user object was disabled . For example
(April 15<sup>th</sup>, 2015)user name
After the next sync in User View in SCSM I cannot see user object , neither old or with disabled properties.
The user object is also not in Deleted Items View in the Administration workplace.
If an analyst wants to create a new ticket , he can by mistake choose disabled user from the picker dialog.
It tells that user still exist in CMDB, but not sure why in that case it cannot be seen in
User View.
After one month user object will be deleted and from it will stay in hidden deleted container in OU for 3 months.
As per one article from Travis , run as account needs to have list object on that folder even I do n see that on any Microsoft document. Or at least I did not find it.
So basically I need to understand if per Microsoft design user object needs to be deleted from
CMDB after the user is deleted from AD or not? I think it should not. However, we have many contractors who
leaves and comes back.
I think when they come back in the picker dialog it will be listed same user several times in this case which can be a big issue.
I need to know what actually needs to be done by AD connector and what needs to be done manually in SCSM if necessary.

Hi,
We could prevent the disabled Active Directory user accounts are not imported into the SCSM CMDB through the Active Directory Connector. This can be achieved by the LDAP filters in SCSM 2012.
For a complete description of the steps mentioned above, check out this article:

Shared Services 11.1.2 Unable to remove assigned user from a security group

In Shared Services 11.1.2 - trying to remove a user from the assigned users list of a security group. Initially, I am able to remove the user and the assigned users total decreases by one - but when I relaunch the group properties - this user is still in there? The change does not hold. Any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
Not sure if this is related to yours, but it might be worth having a look at the following articles on Oracle support --
External users in EPM Shared Services (e.g. MSAD users) cannot be removed from Native groups if they have multiple IDs in the external user directory. [ID 1526569.1]
Users from External User Directories Cannot be Removed from Native Groups [ID 1272309.1]

The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll. If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.

Removing a User From SAP and Webtools

I have recently removed a user from SAP which was a user from webtools
i removed their license and removed them from webtools
My issue is that i now have a Sync Error
-10:Selected user was deleted
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.WebToolsChildObjects.AccountUser.SynchOUSR(NPUser u)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.WebToolsChildObjects.AccountUser.NetPointToSBO(NPQueueObject qData)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.SynchObjectBase.Synch()
What can i do to remove this error?
Please notify.
all answers and suggestions will be greatly appreciated

User probably still exists in WebTools. Try to find & remove it.
If this doesn't help, you can remove user from synchronization queue:
1. run SynchManager
2. on page Synchronization click on tab Web tools Queue
3. find row with 'Name' equal NPUser; click on number in column 'Fail'
4. select row containing error message
5. press <Delete>
6. run synchronization

Restrict group to edit users in people picke in infopath

hi
I have a document with people picker I want to restrict group A to pick or edit the users in existing document and groupB able to edit the users in people picker how is it possible to make it in InfoPath.

Hello,
This would be easy to do with groups that can access specific sections of the form and then use SharePoint or AD groups to govern access, but unfortunately it does not work in InfoPath.
One alternative possibility is to set up a list in SharePoint and enter the names of the smaller group of people into that list (Person field).
The InfoPath form has a data connection to that list. The form has one section with a people picker and another section with a calculated field that shows the value of the people picker.
When opening the InfoPath form, check if the current user exists in the list and hide the section they should not see.
cheers, teylyn
