Deleted user - Remove link to UserDisp or Person page

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what removes links from Created By/ Modified By fields for a deleted user?
To elaborate I have a user who no longer exists in LDAP source, so does not exist in UPA and in site collection UserInfo table (tp_Deleted) deleted. When viewing that users documents in SharePoint 2013 - "Modified By" field links to the /UserDisp.aspx
page. If clicked it throws an error message (/_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx?ID=1212). For some other deleted users I'm seeing Modified By field is not linked..which would be ideal. For active users of course it take to the mysite person page.
Is there any job which removes this link? I've waited long enough (weeks) but still running into this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advanced!

Users who are marked tp_deleted will always remain where referenced elsewhere (e.g. Created By fields). This is to preserve referential integrity. This is standard behavior.

How to remove links pointing to the same page?

I have PDF documents with Links which point to sections referenced (e.g. link of text "Section 2.2" points to the actual page number of "Section 2.2"), but as the links are created from cross-references during rendition from Word to PDF, there are cases that the destination page number and source page number of the links are the same (e.g. links of text "Section 2.2" on page 9 are created with the destination of page 9 which is the actual page number of "Section 2.2"), I want to remove all these links, but I don't know how to get the destination page, I check the API reference and find that "PDLinkAnnotGetAction" may work , but I don't know how to use it, could you check me codes below and advise ? Your help is really appreciated!
PDPage page;
ASInt32 i,i2;
AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc (avDoc);
int pageNum = PDDocGetNumPages(pdDoc);
for (i = pageNum - 1; i >= 0; i--)
page = PDDocAcquirePage(pdDoc, i);
int annotNum = PDPageGetNumAnnots(page);
for (i2 = annotNum - 1; i2 >= 0; i2--)
if...
PDPageRemoveAnnot(i, i2);
My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Windows

Start by reading the PDF standard (ISO 32000-1) to understand Actions vs. Destinations.
Then for each annot, you'll want to see which it has (and in the case of an Action, if it has more than one). Then you need to parse the action or dest to see what it is and where it goes. If you don't like it, then you'll delete it.

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page.

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page. I don't use most of the links and would like to add other quick links.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page (Bug 791447).

Deprovisioning Task for Deleted User Removes All Members of AD Group

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had ever encountered this issue before. We're on 7.1 SP5.
Here's the setup, we have several privileges that are linked to Active Directory Group membership. We have tasks set up to add or remove a user from the membership list of the AD group that are linked to the Provision and Deprovision tasks on the privilege. This has been working very efficiently for us: when a user is assigned the privilege they are added to the group, and when it is removed they are removed from the group. There are no approvals involved.
Recently, we've run into an issue that when a user with a privilege gets deleted from the Identity Store, the Deprovision task gets kicked off, but the user DN that is passed in the LDAP task is NULL. This essentially sets the member attribute on the AD Group to NULL, thus removing all members.
Typically it will throw a warning about deleting obsolete entries and never updates the group. The event tasks seem to be kicked off after the entry is removed from the Identity Store, so it does not seem like a timing issue.
We've had this up and running for several months, but only recently have we had the issue. It does not seem to be restricted to any group, but it will not happen for all the groups. The users in question have had other privileges corresponding to AD group access, but those groups were not emptied.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Jared

Matt,
The problem is that this is not being initiated from a task, but form our nightly maintenance job. These users are falling off because of AD updates outside of our system.
If a DN is deleted from AD, it's already been removed from the groups in AD, but the privileges in our Identity Store haven't synced yet. If we strip all privileges before the entry is deleted, and the DN is no longer valid, the event task will bomb because it is trying to remove a user that doesn't exist anymore.
I'm thinking of just trapping it in the jobs with a script that checks that the user DN is not null. If it is, just skip the entry.
And yes, I will be at TechEd.
Thanks,
Jared

Why did Adobe remove link action "Go to a page in another document"???

When linking documents, you used to be able to link to another document and tell Adobe which page to open on. Example: I want to link document A to document B but I want document B to open on Page 2 instead of 1. That option does not exists anymore under Actions, execute menu option. It was very helpful and I would like it back.

Yes but when I click Set Link it's only for the opened document. Not the document I need. And when I try to edit the link, i only get option for name destination which doesn't work. Below is what I am used to seeing which is not available anymore it appears:

Change language in wiki and personal pages

How to remove User IDs for deleted users from the Disk Quota list

Hello,
We have a computer lab setup with an Xserve managing 15 stations in the lab. Users are setup with networked home directories and quota's are setup on the drive containing the home directories to limit users' storage.
The user account and the quota limit are setup with Workgroup Manager. When a student has been gone for a while and we are sure they no longer need the account we delete their account within Workgroup Manager and move their Home folder to the trash.
When viewing disk usage in Server Admin (by selecting the volume and clicking the Quatas tab) user ids for deleted users are listed and it still shows the disk usage and quota settings for the user.
How can I remove theses user ids from the quota list?
Any help would be appreciated.

I would restore User's file structre back to normal just by copying from standby user?
Did you mean copy files to a new user profile? If so, hope this link can be helpful for you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
For the unknown user, as you said, it's probably a user account from second OS or
action. If you're annoying about this unknown user, then you can remove all occurrences of granted rights to the specified SID with this command icals [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q]

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.

How to get list of FMs while creating Contact Person from User Admin Link

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP ECommerce for my SAP ERP. In one of our requirements, we need to develop MASS UPLOAD program which will take input as Contact Person's first name, last name, address and authorization details and create new Contact Person as it is done through User admin link.
To develop above tool, I want to trace all the Function Modules which are called while creating new Contact Person from User admin link.
Please provide your inputs on how I can get the trace of FMs.
Thanks,
Keya

Hi Keya,
For a B2C eCommerce solution, you are looking at FMs BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 and ISA_USER_CREATE and the table USAPPLREF which holds the reference to the customer and user.
To get the FMs called, you would have to do a session trace during B2C user registration / B2B user creation from UME. You could search this forum on a 'how-to' for doing a session trace or lookup the development and extension guide that provides a lot of useful information.
Cheers,
Ashok.

How to delete users in CMC BO integrated with SAP BW

hello experts,
i am using bo 4.1 , i want to delete users in CMC which is integrated with SAP BW role import.
i am deleting manually but after BW connection refresh again users is coming in to CMC.
please tell me any alternate way to delete users
thanks,
naresh.

Hi,
You cannot delete the users if they are integrated with SAP BW role import.
However if you remove all the roles that the users is/are member of then the user will be removed automatically in next update but by doing so it will remove all other users part of those groups that you are not interested in also.
may i know why are you looking to delete users ?
If you delete manually then all the personal folders will be vanished and even if your user comes back in the next update you will not be able to recover the personal folders.
Thanks,
Tanveer.

A 56 gb .dmg file in my deleted user folder

I have a G5 tower running os 10.3 with 150GB of space. I am running out of room on my had drive because I have a file named melindabeck.dmg (my name) in my deleted users file that is 56 GB.
1. What is this file?
2. Can I get rid of it without endangering my user folder (admin)?
3. How do I delete it?
Thanks, Melinda

Melinda.. it looks like you created a new user account and then deleted the old user account...if everything is ok with the user account you are using...you can delete the old account (drag it to the Trash) ......which is located at....
HD/Users/Deleted (Folder)
Did you do perform similar procedure such as this....
Accounts<Deleting User .... using System Preferences (p29)
• You must be booted up in your Admin account before attempting this.
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151625
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106256
IMPORTANT: If the user's account is encrypted (FileVault is turned on), turn FileVault off for the user before you delete the account.
• You can not delete your Admin Account using this method.
1. Choose System Preferences from Apple Menu and click "Accounts"
2. Select the user account you want to delete and click the minus button in the lower pane
3. A window will pop up asking you if you're sure this is what you want to do. It also gives you a choice as to what should be done
4. If you click "Delete Immediately", the user account will removed.
5. If you click "OK", the account will be removed, and a disk image will be created of the contents of the deleted user account. In case you want to
re-instate the user,The path is:..... HD/Users/Deleted (folder)
6. Your last option is "Cancel" , if you change you mind.

Problem in safe mode deleting users...

I am prepping a few Macs to sell on eBay and wanted to remove the user files and get them to do the startup song and dance when the new user turns it on. I used the following commands in Safe Mode:
mount -uw /
rm -rf /Users/*
cd /var/db
rm .AppleSetupDone
rm .com.apple.iokit.graphics
rm -rf dhcpclient
rm -rf samba
shutdown -h now
All this works fine, except it does not delete any users. So, I tried a few other commands, I used this one:
dscl . delete /users/username
typing the exact user name, and I get this response:
dscl[6] *** Uncaught DS Exception: <(null)> (eServerSendError)
I tried deleting all of them with:
dscl . delete /users/*
and I get the same response:
dscl[6] *** Uncaught DS Exception: <(null)> (eServerSendError)
I tried using:
sudo dscl . -delete /users
and get this again:
dscl[6] *** Uncaught DS Exception: <(null)> (eServerSendError)
I tried using:
niutil -read . /users/
When I do that and hit 'return' it drops a line and does..... nothing. It just sits there and won't respond to any commands, the prompt isn't there. I wait, and wait, and wait and it just sits there.
So, I have two questions:
1. How do I delete ALL users in Safe Mode (I don't want to start the computer and create a new user after I've made the computer redo the AppleSetup dance).
2. Why in the HECK does the cursor just sit there, on a blank line, and do nothing after I issue the niutil command?
I suppose, if it isn't possible to do this in Safe Mode and it must be done in Terminal, then I could do this and then boot into Safe Mode and issue the other commands, if someone knows how to do this, but I'd prefer to do it all at once in Safe Mode (if possible).
TIA
PS In case someone asks why I don't just wipe the drive and reinstall OS X and leave it, it is because on these I wanted to update everything using Software Update so that when it ships it's fully updated. I wanted to update it completely and then restore it to "factory" state so that when the new user turns it on it does the new user setup and has no other user accounts on it.

No offense, but perhaps you ddin't read my whole post. Both of the links you provided (which I've read before) do not allow one to UPDATE the software and then return it to a state that has the AppleSetup launching on boot. If I wanted to load OS X 10.4 without updating it to 10.4.11 then those solutions would work fine, but that isn't what I want to do. I want to update everything - Tiger and all the software - as far as it will go and THEN return the machine to factory state. I could go into why I want to do this, but I won't bore anyone. The point is, I do.
Can someone that understand Unix commands on the Mac help me? Thanks.

CSUtil -s and list of (deleted) users?

I would like to
get a text list of the defined users so I work with csutil.exe -d. This
tool writes a dump.txt file that includes deleted users (I don't see
them via the web interface).
I tested csutil -s to "make database smaller
by removing deleted users" as it is written in the doc but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to get a copy of the user list presented on the web
interface ? If not, how can I identify deleted records in the dump file
(a status fields anywhere ?).

I searched some TAC cases for answers to your questions.
Here's what I found:
"Like many relational databases, the CiscoSecure user database handles the deletion of records by marking deleted records as deleted but not removing the record from the database. Over time, your CiscoSecure user database may be substantially larger than is required by the number of users it contains. To reduce the CiscoSecure user database size, you can compact it periodically."
It looks like to remove the deleted users, you need to compact the database with a command like this:
CSUtil.exe -d -n -l
Please refer to this link for more info about compacting the dB & to make sure you follow the precautions like backing up the database, etc.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/csnt30/user/ae.htm#72126
Seems like once you compact the dB, you can re-run your report to dump out all the users. This time, the deleted users should not be there.
thanks

Delete user with db owner roles

Dear All,
I want delete user with db owner roles from all database and from server using sql query.
So i want using one query to delete user from all database and also from server
how i can do that?
best regards,
Surbakti

I means it's login.
I want delete because user whom use that login already resign from my company.
so if i delete that login i can use that slot for the other user.
best regards,
Surbakti
First you said you want to delete all logins with db owner roles and now you are saying I want to delete use login who has left the company. Was there mass exodus.
If login was a domain login you should also make sure it gets removed from domain, then from local windows machine and then from SQL server. If it is SQL Server login it can be removed straight. Search online you would find various methods to remove
login
Have alook at below links
Question about removing logins from database
Drop login
Also note that any job which the login owned would be affected if login is removed. So you need to be careful

Can you restore a deleted user?

Is there a supported way to restore a 'deleted' user?
Client has accidentally deleted a user. The database record is not actually deleted, but OUSR.Groups is set to 99, so the record is still there.
The clicnt does not want to replace the deleted user with another because they have several databases so they would have to do it in them all to avoid using another licence.
I suspect that there is not a supported way to do this, but I thought that I would check on here.
Regards,
Douglas

hi doughlas,
Check this sap
note 827232 - Recreation of deleted users
Summary
Symptom
It is not possible to recreate a user that has been removed with the
same user code. When trying to do so, error message "Cannot insert
duplicate key" is displayed.
Other terms
Cancel, remove, delete, add, code, name, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
It is by design that a user that has been removed is still stored
in user table OUSR as he might be linked to transactions and
therefore needs to remain in the table. The field "User Group" in
table OUSR indicates whether a user is deleted or not (deleted users
have the value "99" in this field).
Solution
You need to recreate the user with a different code.
