Groupwise Structure check can't remove old user db

Now I know there is a simple solution to this - delete the file manually but I'm just trying to understand why GroupWise can't clean up an [B]old[B] user db when it does a structure check. This is a very old file that's corresponding user was deleted pre-migration to 2012 and SLES and for some reason it never got cleaned up. We have deleted users since and the newer deleted users were cleared up correctly, so rights to the file location are fine I think. Here's what is shown in the gwcheck log:
Checking for user databases that do not correspond to active users
Problem 39- Unknown file uservur.db - 163840 bytes, 08/04/14 19:32
- deleting file
- WARNING- delete failed: 0x8200
All I really want to do is make sure there are not rights issues and get the old user DB removed.
TIA,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
I've seen this before, also where rights had been set ok and also with a couple of very old user db files. I suspect a bug in the gwcheck code where it's not using the whole path to delete the file (haven't checked for it to be a known one).
In the case where I saw it I just cleaned up the file manually ("the simple solution") as no other issues where reported for that system.
Cheers,
Willem

    Can't remove old owners iCloud account  from ipad tried contacting them but no response ?

    In which case, you have an iPad that you'll never be able to use.
    There is no way around the Activation Lock. It is a security feature.
    Did you not check that the device had been properly wiped and reset before buying it?
    If the previous "owner" is now suddenly being hard to find, you probably bought a stolen iPad.

    Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

    How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud? 
    When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
    I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'.  There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
    Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
    This shouldn't be this difficult.....

    I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud.  Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer.  The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up.  To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not.  The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
    It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing!  Apple please note this.
    It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed.  They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
    All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...

  • Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

    I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts.  Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
    HELP!!!!!!

    There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply.  How you add podcasts determines how you remove them.  I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
    It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod).  If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle).  Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected).  Put the podcast episodes in desired order.  iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected).  On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
    When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it?  Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle.  Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts.  To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown.  Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.

  • How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content.  For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end.  Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists.  The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed.  Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod).  Click Music there.  To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with one or more songs selected.
    You can also use the iPod's "management" screen.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music.  This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

  • Help removing old user ID for C3 so I can edit website using trial CS5

    Hello all, I used to manage my website using Contribute 3 but it kept having hanging issues (I'm using MAC OS X 10.5.8) while editing - had to force quit numerous times. Decided to download a trial version of CS 5 which has been working fine except that it won't let me edit one page of my site stating "You can't perform the operation on this page now because DHinden (insert e-mail address) is currently editing or reviewing it". DHinden was my old user ID for Contribute 3, I guess it didn't 'log me out' properly when I force quit the program. Does anyone have any solutions to this situation? I've tried re-installing C3 but it hasn't worked. Not sure if there's anything I can do using the trial version of CS5. Would appreciate any help. Thanks and advance for your assistance. Regards, Derek

    Hi,
         Can you check in the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, whether the page is listed or not? To open the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, click Edit -> Administer Websites -> Manage Sent Drafts menu item. Note that, you should have created your website connection before. And, to see the list of all the drafts in review, you should connect as Administrator.
         If you see that the page is listed in the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, select the draft, and do Undo Checkout, or Change Owner and assign the draft to yourself.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't delete old user accounts from iBook (G3 - Darwin 6.8)

    Hello,
    I'm having a pain of a time trying to remove the old user accounts on this iBook I was given. The accounts page in the system settings is unlocked, I click on an accountm, the click on Delete User, it works for a while, and then when it is finished 'deleting' the user account is still there, nothing has been deleted. I've try a dozen times now. I'm stumped. Can't find anything on the internet that will help.
    Thanks,
    David.

    So far, I've not had this kind of issue; but did find a few directions to check to see how to go about removing user accounts... or renaming them, etc. One of the recent discussions I've read through (three pages) had some ideas that could work.
    Outside of booting the OS X computer into a super-user account where you can delete Admin users, etc and probably if not familiar with unix, do some incredible damages too; I'd try other exercises first as I am timid. What version of OS X is running in your vintage computer?
    In the process of 'Change Name on Home Folder' some revealing ideas came across; some may transfer...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3366855?tstart=0
    And some ideas that could be used to another end, may be found here...

    How to delete user accounts...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/3836878#3836878
    However, there are no warrantees expressed or implied. Always a fine idea to read and sort information since some of the ideas available only allow you do perform the practice once correctly. Or wish you had.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Creative Cloud for Teams. I can not remove a user

    I am helping a friend who has bought Creative Cloud for Teams. I am myself a team admin for a company and that's why she asked me to help out.
    She has only one user on the team right now, her self. She is also the admin.
    Different User and Pass for each.
    Anniversary date is in July 2015.
    Trouble started four weeks ago in the beginning of October.
    The iMac was on System 10.7 but I updated to 10.10 when trying to solve the matter.
    I cleaned everything Adobe, using Adobe Cleaner and manually inside out, preferences, Libraries, Applications, Utilities…
    Installed again the Creative Cloud and started with Photoshop to try out once again.
    When she is logged into the Admin Console / Manage Team it shows very clearly that the User is Active.
    When she tries to open any CC application there is a message saying that the account has expired.
    When trying to remove the User, it is not possible and there is a yellow sticker saying: "We're sorry. Something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later. If this continues to fail, please contact customer support."
    The User can not use any of the CC applications and the only option now is to run a 30 days trial on the admins Adobe ID while we try solve this matter.
    Is anything of this familiar to anyone? Any suggestions?

    Oh, sorry…
    The problem was partly that the owner of the license should have assigned the first (and only) seat to the admin, herself, the buyer,
    Instead she assigned it to herself under another Adobe ID. She says she was told to do it this way but reading the instructions from Adobe says you should start by assigning the first seat to yourself/the admin.
    But that should not have caused such dramatic problems where she was not able to delete the user and correct it. Also the license for the assigned user expired – strangely after 5 months of use. There was something that happened at Adobe that made this stick and the problem had to be solved by them.
    In the meantime I made the admin a trial for 30 days and the problem was solved within that time and everything is fine now.
    Lesson learned: If one is buying a Team version, one should always assign the first seat to the admin – as the instructions says.

  • How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?

    I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?

    The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.

  • Can't remove a user defined field with DI API.

    Hi,
    I'm using the code below to remove a user field.  However, the first time I run it, I get the message that:
    "Ref count for this object is higher then 0"
    The second time I run it, I get the message that:
    "No matching records found (ODBC -2028)"
    As you can see, I am killing the UserFieldsMD object.  In fact, when the function is entered, the object is nothing but later instantiated with oCompany.
    The result in both cases is that the field doesn't get removed.  What am I missing?  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    The issue with your code is that you are not calling the GetByKey method of the field object. Until you do this the FieldID property is 0 so when the Remove method is called it will not try and remove the correct UDF (if you run SQL profiler then you'll see that SBO is looking for the UDF based on the table and fieldID values).
    Something like the following works for me:
    private void DeleteUDF(string sTableID, string sFieldName)
        SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD sboField = (SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD)_sboCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oUserFields);
        try
            int iFieldID = GetFieldID(sTableID, sFieldName);
            if(sboField.GetByKey(sTableID, iFieldID))
                if (sboField.Remove() != 0)_sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("Error removing UDF: " + _sboCompany.GetLastErrorDescription(), SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, true);
        finally
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sboField);
            sboField = null;
            GC.Collect();
    private int GetFieldID(string sTableID, string sAliasID)
        int iRetVal = 0;
        SAPbobsCOM.Recordset sboRec = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)_sboCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
        try
            sboRec.DoQuery("select FieldID from CUFD where TableID = '" + sTableID + "' and AliasID = '" + sAliasID + "'");
            if (!sboRec.EoF) iRetVal = Convert.ToInt32(sboRec.Fields.Item("FieldID").Value.ToString());
        finally
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sboRec);
            sboRec = null;
            GC.Collect();
        return iRetVal;
    Note that the parameter sAliasID is the field name without the U_ prefix.

  • HT1822 Remove old Users in 10.8

    Using Server Admin 10.7.4 with Server 10.8 i can see a whole load of old users (Showing as HEX) who have access to services.
    Theses also show in Profile Manager as "Loading...."
    I want to delete these but Server Admin 10.7.4 is read only, and there seems no way in Server 10.8 - any ideas?

    Don't use a network account to log into the server.  Per Apple, that causes problems.  Beyond that, what you want here should happen automatically, as you log into various computers using the network home account.  The settings and such should be available, so long as the files and applications are available on all of the clients.
