Copy User to User

When setting up a new user, is it possible to 'copy' the settings from another user?

Only if you're an admin user. Login to the user account you want to transfer from. Double-click the boot volume icon, open up Users and the user account you want to transfer to. Select the ~/Library/Preferences folder in the transfer from user's account and drag it to the transfer to user's Desktop. You'll get a dialog box stating you have to authenticate, click OK, next you'll get a "you won't see the results of this operation" dialog box, click OK, enter your password in the authentication window, and the folder should be copied to the transfer to user's desktop. Login into that account, select the copied folder, CMD+I, and change the ownership & permissions to the new user, select "apply to enclosed items." That should do it. Now you can replace the appropriate plists (settings files).

  • Can I copy my apps/user settings from one drive/OS to another?

    I have one drive of my system with 10.3.9, that I've been using for quite awhile, with all my apps, preferences, registrations etc.
    I just installed a clean install of 10.4.3 on another drive.
    Is there away to clone/copy all my user settings from the 10.3.9 drive to the 10.4.3 drive, so that it behaves the same way?
    I didn't want to user the "transfer user settings" when I installed 10.4, because I need to keep the 10.3.9 system exactly as is.

    Just erase the hard drive first. Here's the basic cloning process using Disk Utility:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
    5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Check the box to Erase Destination.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    If you prefer to keep your Panther system, then clone it to the new drive and update the new drive to Tiger. If you want both drives to have Tiger installed, then upgrade the Panther system to Tiger, then clone it to the new drive.
    If you'd rather see how it goes using Migration Assistant, then by all means give it a try. Worst thing that can happen is you end up doing it my way. If Migration Assistant works properly you'll save some time and effort.

  • Getting eroor while copying and deleting user

    Hi All,
      I am unable to copy and delete users from one client, we are in ecc6.0. i am getting the following error while copying and deleting. the error is
    NUMBER_GET_NEXT AENDBELEG INTERVAL_MISSING.
    Please help me in this regard,
    thanks,
    praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Implement the program correction to ensure that the system issues the correct error message.
    Manually create the missing interval.
    You can use error message CD 121 to enable you to identify the error more accurately. Depending on the additional information, the status is as follows:
    OBJECT_MISSING : The entire AENDBELEG number range object is missing and must be created.
    INTERVAL_MISSING: Number range interval 01 is missing and must be created.
    INTERVAL_NOT_INTERNAL: The definition of number range interval 01 is incorrectly set to 'external number assignment'. Delete the 'external' selection in the interval definition.
    Check the definition of the AENDBELEG number range object in transaction SNRO:
    Object name:   AENDBELEG
    Short text:    Change documents
    Long text:     Number Ranges for Change Documents
    To-year flag:                        Do not select
    Number length domain:                 CHAR10
    No interval rolling:                  Do not select
    Number range transaction:             SCDN
    Warning %:                            10.0
    Main memory buffering:
    No. of numbers in buffer:             10
    You must define the following interval:
    Interval No. 01
    from 0000000001
    to 9999999999
    internal number assignment

  • Long log in times after copying profile to User Template folder

    I am having a devil of a time deploying 10.9 and 10.10.  I am deploying Macs in a lab environment which sits in an AD world.  I usually followed the same pattern of image creation: 1) create a test profile, 2) Install and configure the programs and the dock, 3) Copy the profile, and 4) then test with both a local and admin accounts.  With Lion and Mountain Lion, everything worked fine.  The new user was able to log on with the default user template profile that was copied.  Now with 10.9.5, the network user (with a network Home Page) takes 5 minutes to log on when I copy a profile to the User Templates folder.  I can't create a new user from Users and Groups because the system preferences wont close because it is still busy creating the user.   I use Deploy Studio and Profile Manager to push out images.  I followed my procedures to the core including repairing the permissions, deleting the key chain, and clearing out the application caches.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Is there anything new in regards to Active Directory in Mavericks and Yosemite and OS X?  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
    @dfiore27101
    DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
    Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
    An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
    I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

  • SQL 2012 sp2 "The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\user' are insufficient ..."

    1st let me set the tone by admitting I am not real familiar with SQL, I'm more of an Operations Admin. So this is not a new question I think, although I am having difficulty finding an applicable solution.  Using SQL Server 2012 sp2 on a Windows
    2012R2 server.  This is configured to be a SCOM DB server; while on the SQL server itself I open IE and attempt to go to the following URL http://scomsql/reportserver_SCOM I get the
    following error.
    Reporting Services Error
    The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\user' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) Get Online Help
    SQL Server Reporting Services
    I have looked at the Reporting Services Config. Mgr. and it looks like the Report Mgt. URL is set for port 80 and no SSL is configured.  The rsreportserver.config file has the SecureConnectionLevel set to "0"
    My domain account is listed under Security\Logins and holds the 'Server Roles' of public and sysadmin, 'User Mapping' is DBO for the 'ReportServer$SCOM' and 'ReportServer$SCOMTempDB' and the role membership shows db_owner and public for these as well.
    Any assistance with getting this working would be greatly appreciated.
    # When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

    Hi Wasisname,
    The Reporting Services error rsAccessedDenied occurs when a user does not have permission to perform an action. To troubleshooting this issue, please make sure that you have sufficient permission and the report server name is correct.
    In fact, reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles. On a new installation, only local administrators have access to a report server. In order
    to grant access to visit the URL http://server:port/ReportServer to users, a local administrator must create a role assignment to define the tasks a user can perform. To solve this problem, please refer to the
    following steps:
    Start Report Manager by going to URL
    http://scomsql/reportserver_SCOM.
    Click Site Settings at the top right of the page.
    Click Security in the left pane.
    If a role assignment already exists for the user, click Edit.
    Otherwise, click New Role Assignment. In user, enter the user account.
    Select appropriate access, and then click Apply.
    The issue may be caused by the UAC or Internet Explorer security setting, please try to follow this steps:
    1. Open the Internet options of the IE and add the report server URL into trusted site in the Security tab.
    2. Run the IE as administrator.
    Besides, if the user need to have access to reports, folders, models and shared data sources, we can assign Item-level roles on the root node (the Home folder) or on specific folders or items.
    For more information about Configuring a Native Mode Report Server for Local Administration, please refer to the following document:

  • Sap UM connector 9.1.2 trouble with "SAP User Management User Recon" task

    Hello All,
    i have a problem with Sap UM Connector version 9.1.2.
    OIM version 11.1.1.5
    Windows 2008 R2
    Problem is:
    Then accounts in Sap are created through direct provisioning feature of connector everything works ok (subsequent update or delete an account).
    But if a user account is created in Sap using Sap GUI, scheduled task "SAP User Management User Recon" of connector doesn't create reconciliation event to link user.
    Sometimes it does though, but for one user account created using Sap GUI in OIM created two reconciliation events, so corrsponding user in oim have two records for resource SAP.
    In this reconciliation events, one have full set of attributes (Login, First Name, Last Name, E Mail, etc), another one - just these 3 attributes: IT Resource, User ID, Lock.
    "SAP User Management Delete Recon" scheduled task works ok then user account has been deleted using Sap Gui.
    How one can troubleshoot such behavior?
    Can anyone advise please?

    resolved the issue by updating sap um connector to version 9.1.2.5

  • Cannot connect to SERVER. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\user'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 18456) - SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2

    I've seen multiple blogs and forums with similar problems and SQL 2012 or 2008. But no solutions that work for me.
    I have installed SQL Server in mixed mode (SQL and Windows authentication). I can create new Login accounts in either mode. However, I cannot get an AD security group Login account to work. I am trying to add group 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' or 'SERVER\Administrators'
    as a Login so that any of the domain's administrator accounts can open SQL Server Management Studio and act as an 'sa' account on this server.
    I have deleted the SQL account 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins'.
    I have restarted SQL.
    I have restarted the Win2K8r2 server.
    I have launched SSMS as Administrator from the desktop of SERVER.
    I have launched SSMS as another user (and used 'DOMAIN\user' to lauch it) from the desktop of SERVER.
    I can create a login account named 'DOMAIN\user' (who happens to be a member of the 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' group) and give this account 'sa' security, and when I do that, this account works as expected...
    How do I add a security group as a Login account and give all members of that group the ability to be an 'sa' account?

    Hi geoperkins,
    Are you getting the following error message?
    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11
    Login failed for user <Domain\user>. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error.
    If that is the case, the issue could be due to that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions could not be checked due to UAC. Please disable UAC firstly and check if it is successful to log in SQL Server.
    Another reason could be that the domain controller could not be reached. You may need to resort to re-creating the login. Create a new group in AD, add users to the new group, then add the group to the local admin group and create login for the group in SQL
    Server.
    There is a connect item describing similar issue for your reference.

    Hi.
    This I have seen before...
    It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
    It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
    It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
    If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:

    Check that and try again.
