Deleted Users & Domains?

Hello,
Is there an option or a command that would allow me to view the DELETED users and/or Domains in iMS5.2 before I purge?
Thanks

You can certainly use ldapsearch, and look for the attribute "deleted" in the status object class.

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 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.

Deleting User Defaults (10.7 and 10.9)

Hey folks -
I have an application which looks for user defaults upon launch. If the defaults don't exist, the application goes through a first-time launch. If the defaults do exist, the application loads the user default settings. Here is the issue:
On 10.7, if I navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/ and delete the .plist file associated with my application user defaults ("com.application.abc.plist"), the application will recognize a first-time launch. However, on 10.9, deleting the .plist is not sufficient. In order for the application to recognize a first-time launch, I need to first open Terminal and run: "defaults delete com.application.abc" (notice this is the domain and not the .plist file).
The weird thing is, after I delete the .plist file, running the command to delete the domain actually fails:
2014-01-08 09:47:37.536 defaults[44170:707]
Domain (com.application.abc) not found.
Defaults have not been changed.
But it is still a required step in order for my application to recognize a first-time launch. My question is - what has changed in defaults from 10.7 and 10.9. The man page reveals nothing that I can see. Is the domain being cached somewhere? Is there a command that I can run to delete/reset the cache? I'd be happy to post any additional information, just let me know.

r_s_h wrote:
@etresoft: Could you explain that last command a bit? It looks like it resets the user defaults but I can't find any more information.
It kills the cfprefsd process that maintains those preferences. That process should immediately get respawned and read preference values from whatever is in the plist files. Logging out and logging back in is probably going to be more reliable.
These days I have gone to maintaining a separate partition just for developer activities. It doesn't necessarily help anything but I feel better knowing whatever I have done is less likely to go scramble my personal data that is sitting in an unmounted partition.

Problem deleting users with delegated admin

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem deleting users with delegated administrator. I am using JES 2005Q4.
Here is what I do:
I set Inetuserstatus and mailuserstatus to deleted. Then run msuserpurge to delete the mail box. This seems to be working fine. Then I do a commadmin domain purge and it will actually delete the persons ldap record, but it does not delete the o=pab records or the o=PIserverDB records.
I am probably missing a step here, and would apprecidate it somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

User not found - deleted user

SharePoint 2010. We've migrated domains, one user that was no longer with the company was not migrated to the new domain and was deleted. She had created several subsites that we are no longer able to access, the user not found message.
How can I fix this to access these subsites? The old domain is no longer live

Purge Deleted Users

Hello there,
I have tried to delete a user through identity server console and add a new user with the deleted user's id again later on. I got an error "Could not create the user. Conflicts with deleted user". What I understand here is that the deleted user entry is not purged from the directory server yet.
I tried to purge the deleted user by using "commadmin domain purge" command. Before I can purge the domain, I also understand that I would need to first do a "csclean" to remove the deleted user's calendar from the calendar database and "msuserpurge" to remove the deleted user's mailbox. However, when I tried to run "csclean" and "msuserpurge" commands, both prompt me the error message of "Must be in virtual domain mode to use this tool.
Initialization failed .... exiting".
What should I do in order to execute "csclean" and "msuserpurge" successfully?? Or, is there any other way to purge the deleted user besides running "commadmin domain purge" command ??
Please advise. Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just for anyone else searching for info on deleting mail in pop/imap accounts...
'man ipurge' for manual page.
ipurge executable is located in /usr/bin/cyrus/bin so either cd there first or give full pathname to executable.
Must be run as cyrusimap user (hence sudo -u cyrusimap in Chakravarthy's example)
In my own case, I was deleting a 72M file which had been mailed internally to every pop user. Local users were OK, but all the remote VPN users were seizing up due to the low bandwidth VPN. The command I used was...
sudo -u cyrusimap ./purge -f -m 50
Gives excellent feedback on any deletions.

PowerShell Active Directory: Get last logon date of a deleted user

So, my first post in this noble community. I've been lurking here and I've been getting some good information. Hopefully, you guys can help me in this concern which may be simple to some but I couldn't seem to get around it.
Is it possible to get the last logon date of a DELETED user in Active Directory?
I can get the available properties of deleted users using the following:
Get-ADObject -Filter {samaccountname -eq <account_name> -and ObjectClass -eq "user"} -IncludeDeletedObjects -Properties *
But the last logon date is not one of the properties available from Get-ADObject. Get-ADUser has the last logon property, but it does not have data on deleted users. Is there anyway this can be achieved? Perhaps convert an ADObject to an ADUser?
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks everyone for your response. It looks like jrv is leading me to the right path, but I'm still having issues. I'm trying to get the lastlogon time by querying all the DCs in our domain, but every query returns a null lastlogon time for all the deleted
users I tried:
$DomainControllers = ((Get-ADForest).Domains | %{ Get-ADDomainController -Filter * -Server $_ }).Name
foreach ($DC in $DomainControllers)
    $dn=(Get-ADObject -Filter {samaccountname -eq <user_account>} -includedeletedobjects -server $DC).DistinguishedName
    $user=[adsi]"LDAP://$dn"
    $user.LastLogon
It always returns null. Morever, simply executing [adsi]"LDAP://$dn" from each DC gives the following error:
format-default : The following exception occurred while retrieving member
"distinguishedName": "There is no such object on the server.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [format-default], ExtendedType
   SystemException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CatchFromBaseGetMember,Microsoft.PowerShell.Comm
   ands.FormatDefaultCommand
It's a bit surprising to me though, since $user=[adsi]"LDAP://$dn" does return a value for $user (instead of null whenever an error is encountered) of type System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry but it has no members.
Anyone know what I'm missing?

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

How can I capture delete user event in Active Directory 2008 using Powershell command

Hi,
In my Active Directory every user have own home drive in the file server. When I delete user I also need to delete folder from the server.
My target is make the process automated, so that when I delete user account form AD, the folder associate with user also delete.
Can I write any power shell script to grep the delete event and remove folder from file server.
Thanks
Tamim Khan

You can setup event viewer to provide alerts (email alerts) for event id 630.
Find an existing Event ID 630 entry, right click on it and "Attach Task To This Event...."
Follow the wizard.
** Event ID Sample **
Event ID: 630
Type: Success Audit
Description: User Account Deleted:
Target Account Name: %1 Target Domain: %2
Target Account ID: %3 Caller User Name: %4
Caller Domain: %5 Caller Logon ID: %6

Snow Leopard Server - Can't delete users in WGM?

Hi!
I have 2 Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 machines. One is an OD-master and the other is a replica. Since last week I haven't been able to delete user accounts in WGM. It doesn't give me any error and at first glance it looks like the account is deleted, but the account pops up again when searching for that user i WGM.
I also noticed that Server Admin freezes and need a force quit when I click the "Settings" tab for det OD-service.
I suspect the two problems are related somehow, but I can't figure out how to fix them. I've read through a couple of forum posts here but couldn't find anyone with a similar question/problem.
Changing passwords and other settings work fine on user accounts. The syncing between OD master and Replica also works.
The problem is identical on both machines. Deleting accounts doesn't work and Server Admin crashes when checking the "settings" tab on the OD-service.
Has anyone got a clue what I should do och look for?

I managed to solve the problem a couple of days ago. This is what I did.
At first I thought Server Admin crashed when choosing the OD-service, but I was mistaken. It didn't crash, just stalled for a long time (up to 20 minutes as soon as I clicked on something in the OD-service).
My main concern was that my latest OD-backup was a month old and I really wanted a fresh archive before I tried to rebuild the OD-master. So if you already have a working archive you can skip the next part.
Another problem was that the archive-feature did not work at all on any of my two servers.. I could reach the archive-function (with 20 minutes delay on each click) but it resulted in no archive and didn't give me any errors, so I'm glad I checked to see that an archive was actually made. So I promoted my replica to an OD-master and after that Server Admin didn't freeze for 20 minutes any more in the OD-service and the archive function worked again. So I did a fresh archive.
Now that I had a fresh OD-archive I demoted the (original) OD-master to a Standalone server. Then made it an OD-master again and imported the OD-archive I made from the replica. Everything worked fine and I could delete users again and Server Admin didn't freeze any more. I hooked up the replica to the OD-master and since then I've had no problem. I hope this helps someone else with the same/similar problem.

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.

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.
