How do you find who created a user in Active Directory?

I think it would be almost impossible to tell who created an individual AD record, as in my experience there is generally only 1 Domain Admin account for which to create users. 

So I've done some research and have found LDAP queries that will tell me when a user is created, but not necessarily who created the user. The reason I am asking is because I ran an audit of active and inactive users and between my boss and I (we are a small company so we know all the users) we could not figure out who some of the users were. Thanks for your help!

  • How do I find who created a particular material master record?

    How can I find who created a material master record when it was created?  I've looked in the item changes log and all it shows is changes, not when the material was created.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can use SE16 + MARA. Field ERSDA will show you the desired date.
    In MM03 there's an icon: white 'i', background blue. Please click on it.

    at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.implementation(adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.java:49)
    This is definitely a Custom Adapter because OOTB Adapter name is adpADCSADDUSERTOGROUP and NOT adpADDUSERTOADGROUP
    So, it is your custom code and in the code you are passing incorrect value of the Active Directory Child process form...
    The correct name is UD_ADUSRC and the Group Name column name is UD_ADUSRC_GROUPNAME.
    While you are passing UD_AD_CHILD as the child process form and UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME as Group Name column name..
    Use OOTB Adapter... Correct these discrepancies... Your addition of group will work
    And since you are creating custom adapter, you need to be more careful and remain consistent throughout..
    Then if you want to use UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME, use it everywhere consistently... Pass only this value in the adapter...
    And even in lookups, if any... Search everywhere... Keep things consistent... They will work... Because good news is that you are able to create user in AD via Java Code...
    And if any post is even slightly helpful, it is a good habit to mark it with helpful or correct ... And also mark the entire question as answered so that other people also are benefited.

  • Need Help creating new user in Active Directory

    I am trying to create a new user in active directory via a java application. I have included the code that I am using. I am able to successfully bind to Active Directory. I have been able to change passwords, and delete users, but I have not been able to create a user.

  • How can you tell who created an event on a shared calendar?

    I allow delegates access to my "Office Calendar" and they have write rights. I'd like to be able to tell who created an event.
    Is that not possible?
    I've looked all over the event in "Get Info" & the Inspector.
    Thanks

    I don't think this is possible with iCal, but I know that is definitely possible with BusyCal.

    I've tried commenting out the "unicodePwd" attribute since I can't find it on microsoft's website, but still same error.

    Are you getting it when creating the subcontext or when modifying the attributes?
    And why are you doing that in two steps? Why not just set all the attributes you need before creating the subcontext?
    And is there any clue in the exception as to which attribute is wrong?
    And have you tried commenting out the attributes one by one to see which it is?

  • How do you find who's on your network

    I have 6 machines on my AP network for my office & home business. I do not have it password protected. But I have a neighbor who says he can pick up my signal on his laptop. Is there a way to find out who's machine is on your network?

    I strongly recommend you password protect your network right away. It doesn't matter who is on your network if even one person is unauthorized. That person could easily get into private data through your network, or simply piggy back onto your Internet connection for a free ride.
    If you click on the Network icon in your Finder window, it will tell you the names of all the computers connected together on the local subnet. However, an intruder need not network with the other machines in your system to take advantage of your Internet connection. For example, I have 2 Macs using the Net via my base station. They are not necessarily connected to each other. I can use the Net with both machines at once, but until I actually use Network to connect them together I can't access one machine from another, and I can't see whether or not my other machine is using the Network or not.
    On top of that, I have to have Personal File Sharing turned on to share files between 2 machines. You can change these settings in Sharing under System Preferences. That can keep intruders out of your system, but may not tell you who is logged into your subnet unless they Network, or if they have file sharing turned off on their system.
    I'm not sure if there is a way to see if you have any freeloaders via an IP address.

    remaining name 'cn=Jef Klak,ou=Ps Users,ou=Users,ou=Managed,dc=xxx,dc=local'
    Anybody any tips or advice on this one? Or maybe a working examples how to add users in AD?
    Listing entries in the AD is no problem, so it's only adding them.

  • Creating a windows user in Active Directory

    I am trying to create a user in Active Directory that can log on as any other Windows user, but when I try to log into Windows, I get the following error message:
    "The local policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively".
    Are there any attributes or objectclass settings that must be set for the user to allow interactive logons?
    Thanks in advance!

    This has nothing to do with JNDI, the object class or attributes.
    I assume that you are trying to logon locally to the domain controller with the new user that you have just created.
    By default, the domain controller's policy only allows specific users or members of a group to logon locally at the domain domain controller's console.
    Either edit the domain controller'sgroup policy and add your newly created user to the list of users permitted to logon locally, or add the user to a group which has already been granted permission to logon locally.

    Paul -
    I'm sorry you've lost files, but when you set up an account as Guest, there's a message that clearly states "When a guest user logs out, all information and files in the guest account's home folder are deleted". If you want an account where files are retained, you should create an Admin or Standard type.
    You will need to use data recovery techniques to see if your file can be recovered. The more that you use your computer, the greater the risk that the file will be overwritten. You can contact a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers (which will be expensive, but you can judge the value of the file) or try something like Data Rescue. The latter has a demo which you can install to determine if your file can be recovered, and then, on purchase, you can actually recover the file.
    Good luck!

  • How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did?

    Using MYsql How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did. There are many titles to the different charities that is under the othpaytitle of the Otherpay table,  I however just want to extract the non-contributors for a particular charity title. Is there anyway to do this? When I do the the syntax below it comes up as an "empty set". The search is done by way of the table Id matching and left joins. Please see below.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, sum(otherpay.othpayamt) as NO_Contribution, quadlt.ltfname as quad 
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    GROUP BY brother
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

    Just guessing based on your query,  and assuming the above query works, just insert a "where" condition. I also removed the SUM function. Also, "AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL"  may not be needed.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, otherpay.othpayamt, quadlt.ltfname as quad
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    AND othpayamt=0
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

  • TS2753 Has your debit/credit card been charged for unauthorized APPLE Itunes purchased? How do you find out who used it?

    Has your debit/credit card been charged for unauthorized APPLE Itunes purchases?  How do you find out who used it?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I find out if a user has an active session

    How can I find out if a user has an active session or sessionObject in the application Server.
    When a user logs on to my web-application, I want him to be able to see a
    list of all the other users that are also loged on. To do this I need to get a
    list of all the session objects avaliable in the sever at that perticular moment?
    In J2EE 2.1 I found the class "javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionContext" with the method "getIds()"
    that returned all the session Id's. By using the method getSession(java.lang.String sessionId)
    from the same class, you could then retrieve the sessionObject.
    But these methods are depricated (and want to be able to use the
    latest version of J2EE).
    Is there any other way to do this?
    I'm using JBoss application server.

    Check out HttpSessionListener -> http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionListener.html
    Essentially what you have to do is implement this interface. You also have to register the listener in your web.xml, like this:
    <listener>
        <listener-class>
            package.name.YourListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>sessionCreated() will get called each time the app server creates a session and sessionDestroyed() will get called each time the app server invalidates a session. You could have a Map that contains all the active sessions, and a method for printing a list of all of the active sessions.
