Created a group by accident, then left it, how to ...

So I was looking for a way to group contacts. I saw the "Create A Group" button at the bottom and started dragging some contacts into it. What was weird though was that this Group window looks just like a chat window.
Then I figured that "Groups" may refer to "Chat Groups" and not contact groups... Thanks for being so clear, Skype.
Once I had realized this, I tried to dissolve the group. I couldn't remove it - it still appeared in my History. Then I found a button to "leave the group" (or similar), and I did that.
Now, it looks like I did leave the group, but all my other contacts that I added to that group are still in it.
-> I need to dissolve the group and remove all contacts from it. How can I do this?
I tried to rejoin the group - maybe there are more options once I do that - but there's no option anywhere to do that, unless I missed it.
Any help?

Update: I found some related posts that all described the same problem. The suggested solution was to get someone who is in the group to type
/get uri
, then paste that url to you in a separate chat. That would supposedly enable you to rejoin the group.
Well I tried that, but it didn't work. Skype opened the group chat window, and it said "connecting to server, please wait" for a little while, then all the contacts in the group chat list disappeared. So it seems that it locked me out completely after this (since up until this point, I was still able to see the people I had added to the group).
What a mess.
I now asked my friend who was in the group to /kickban all the others from his end, so now I hope that it's resolved.
To the people at Skype: Placing the "Create a group" button right next to the "Add a contact" button is just asking for this sort of trouble. That's the worst placement for this button. It implies that you can create a new contact group with that button, when in fact it opens a new group chat. Every halfway decent UI designer in the world would have noticed this! Jesus.
It's too late for me now, but maybe you'll consider changing this for all your other users.

Create OID Group through OIM

HI ,
i have a requirement which is when i create a Group in OIM , then the OID will create a corresonding Group as well , i run out of my idea of how to do it , can anyone give some guides on this
thx in advance
Edited by: crazyJew on 1/07/2010 22:44

Yes you need to provide an organization key to the group provisioning api - tcOrganizationOperationsIntf -> provisionObject.
One you provision the resource OID Group you can get the process instance key and set the data in process form using tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf ->setProcessFormData. setProcessFormData takes the data which needs to be set for the OID group.
Hope the helps,

How do I create a group contact list for emails?

I can open an new email contact for a single person, but how do I create a group contact list?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Create_Mailing_List
In Address Book, File/New/Mailing List, name the list and close it, then add contacts to the list by dragging them from an address book and dropping onto the list icon in the directory (left) pane.

How to create users ,groups and workflow in batch?

I have to create 100 groups for each course,and each course has a admin user.Each group has some workflows .These workflow can only be viewed by some users.
Can i import user name and password from a .txt file and do the work automatically?
It is a hard work if i do it manually.

I'm not sure you want to import users to use the magic triangle properly. I think importing creates 'Augmented Records' - the user icons have blue dots.
The principle is this…
Bind the server to Active Directory (AD) & create an Open Directory master (OD). This can be done from Server Admin, in the OD section, via the change button.
Then you use Workgroup Manager, set the viewing directory (tiny little globe in top left) to use LDAP records on the server - LDAPv3/127.0.0.1. Authenticate (lock on right of toolbar) add a group, then switch to to its Members tab, click + Then change the user list to show the AD records & add the AD users to the OD group. It sounds weird & wrong, but it is how it works.
You are never modifying the AD records, just assigning a group to the users in OD. It's why the clients need to bind to AD & OD.
From there you can set the Managed prefs (MCX) for the members of the OD group. It also helps to add a guest computer account to OD to assign computer prefs based on the macs that bind to the server - it's in the File menu when you select the computes list in OD.
I hope that's clear, not sure I can help with the other tasks, but they tend to fall into place once you have the complex start in place.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

How to create a group calendar?

Hello,
i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
*In short:*
I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
LONG:
I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
+"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
+There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
+The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
Thanks, Philipp.

fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin

Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

How to create new groups (list) for storing user's data?

Hi,
I'm using cq-5.4 and I was undertaking the campaign management tutorial which explains about how to send out a weekly news letter. As a part of that I was creating a sign up form for subscribers to fill out. So after filling up that form, user's data would get stored somewhere and eventually that data will be used while sending out the weekly news letters to him.
This was the link I was referring to for that,
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-4/wcm/campaigns.html#Create a Sign Up Form
So on that link, the 3rd screenshot talks about how to set the form action. They have for example set the form action to 'Create and Update Account' and accordingly under 'Action Configuration', 'geometrixx newsletter' is assigned as the 'Initial Group'. But they never talked about how to create the 'geometrixx-newsletter' group? Where to create that group etc. Hence, after completing the form when I press submit, nothing happens. In reality whatever data I entered should've got stored in the 'geometrixx newsletter' group.
So that is the place where I'm stuck. Can someone tell me how and where should i create this group?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting the screen shots I have been unsuccessful in determining exactly where the problem is coming from. Would it be possible for you to post the actual VI so that I can work with it so see if I can reproduce this issue using your code? In regard to your questions:
1.    You are correct 1000 samples read should write 1000 samples to the table
2.    I believe the discrepancy is due to amount of manipulation done between the read and the file write but I cannot be certain, without the code to work with.
3.    I am unclear as to exactly what is happening. If you are reading empty channels then you may receive erroneous readings this is to be expected. When you connected your accelerometer did you connect in RSE or differential? You can also manipulate the signal range with will affect the gain setting, how off are the readings?

How do I (easily) Create a Group E-mail List

First I want to say that I am not a dummy. I’m pretty tech savvy, but this issue has been making me crazy for a long time. I know that what I am about to describe be has to do (probably) with the fact Mail and Contacts work separately, unlike in Windows products. The whole point of me moving to the Mac from Windows was to make things easier.
I have tried to see if there’s an easy way to create a Group, but I can’t seem to find the handle on this. I repeat, I am not a tech dummy.
Here’s the issue: Every week I send out an e-mail to a group of friends. What I normally do (since I have not found an easier way) is to go to my Send folder, find the previous week’s email, copy all the addresses and paste into the new e-mail.
On all the Help Discussion topics I see in the Apple Forums (I’ve been to many), what it says is that you go to Contacts, Create a New Group, and then click and drag e-mail addresses into the new group. I get it, and I’ve done that for other groups. But this is different.
Is there not a way to simply copy all the addresses from the previous week’s email I sent and copy that into a Group? There are too many names for me to go one by one inside the Contacts app. Moreover, I don’t know all the contacts in the prior week’s list. I’d have to go back and forth between the prior week’s e-mail and my Contacts list, and check names and e-mails, and then drag into the Group.
Please Apple, there has to be an easier way.
Macbook Pro, OS X Mavericks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

How do I create a group of email contacts on my macbook air

How do I set up a group in my contacts for a large group that I use often, and then how to I use it. I tried setting up a group with everyone in the group, but then I tried typing in the name of the group but it will not work. I want to click on the group and have all the group email people drop into the message, and avoid clicking on each group member. Help. Thanks.

Is there a way to create a group alias that I can text/message?

Similar to an e-mail alias that contains multiple e-mail addresses which makes it easy to send one message to multiple people, I'd like to be able to create a group alias from some set of contacts in my Address Book that I can send a message (either text or iMessage if supported by the recipient) to. Does the iPhone 4 running iOS5 support this and if so, how do I go about using this feature?
Note, I'm not looking for a group chat function where people have run a particular app in order to join a group, I just want to be able to easily send a message to > 1 person and if they want to respond it's directly to me.

You can group your contacts, but you will not be able to send group messages natively. You need a 3rd party application for this. I have developped a free one, Easy Group, to create group of contacts (family, football team), and then send group texts and group emails.

How to a link a contact to a group

You have to use a 3rd party app to do this. Several are available, including ABContacts and Speed Names. For texting, these don't support iMessage but you can always start a group message to a set of contacts on your phone and then save to conversation to send a future message to the same list of contacts.

How to create a group with multiple data fields

Post Author: RichS
CA Forum: Formula
Using CR XI. Using CSV input from ODBC text driver. No problems here.
There are 3 fields that I want the same group by action. Is this possible?)
If any one of these 3 fields change I want some header information and column fieldnames to display. The header information I only want displayed on the first page (on the change) and the column fieldnames to display on every page. I have played around with things like "InRepeatedGroupHeader" and "report group header on each page". I am not getting all the results that I am looking for though.
I want report to look like:
Page header stuff (to display on every page) This data consists of some fields that will have static data and will display on every page. And it consists of 3 non-static fields that I want to group on.
Group header stuff that I only want displayed on the first page on a change from one of the 3 fields mentioned above.
Column headings that I want displayed on every page.
Details data
Group footer stuff (details not important for this)
I get the expected output (column headings displayed on every page, and group header stuff display on the first page on each group change) with one group field. But I want the group change to happen for all 3 fields.
It seems simple but I can't find a way to create a "group" so if "field1 or field2 or field3" change, I get the same "group by" action. I just need to know how to get the expected action.
I expect that I might have some terms mixed up and/or some important information that would aide you in helping me. If that is the case please re-post and I will add any missing or mis-stated information.
Thanks,

I am slightly confused, but perhaps you can create a formula
Then group on the formula. If this is not what you want, could you post some sample data, with the desired results.

Is there a way to create a group in SCOM 2012 R2 based on sccm collection? I am planning to use that group for maintenance mode.

Hi,
I think you could query all the collectin members from SCCM database then use powershell to add them to a specific OU.
