How have you migrated user data? (Permissions issues).

So far our upgrade from Tiger server to SL server has been fairly painless. I chose to do a completely clean install and then migrate users at a later date (after exporting them from the original configuration). I do have a complete bootable clone of the Tiger server install, so I can go back to that install at any time to check on things, so that's been a real help.
But here is one snag I should have anticipated: permissions issues! I've tried several times now to migrate a single user account from Tiger server to SL server. But I'm getting massive permissions issues on the account. I've tried migrating the user data using Carbon Copy Cloner, or copying the file via. the Finder (what a pain), and in both cases when I login as that user on a client machine I have only read access (or even no access) to critical files.
What methods have you used to successfully migrate user's directories? Alternately, what did you do to fix permissions issues for migrated users?
Thanks.

i use rsync for all transfers and then make sure ownership and perms align.
are you talking about moving homedir data from old server to new, homedirs on client machines, or something else entirely? regardless, you'll need to ensure all of the pieces work together. stay away from finder copies or most gui tools. you'll have more control and more reliable results from the command line. passenger offers some folder migration functionality if you need a gui, though i've never used it for that. http://macinmind.com/?pid=2&progid=1&subpid=1

How to manually migrate user data under Mountain Lion?

I want to manually migrate my user data from a cloned back-up to my iMac after a clean install of Mountain Lion. I do not want to use Migration Assistant because of the probabily of re-importing some of the problems I'm trying to fix. (This is at the tail end of a long trouble shooting process trying to fix a very very slow computer aftere a ML upgrade from Lion. Clean install of ML is a last resort)
There used to be an excellent list by Kappy (I think) on this sort of migration under earlier systems and from PPC to Intel. But that link seems to have been taken down.
We plan to reinstall all software from scratch after the clean install, so that is not an issue. And I know how to move the normal files in documents, music and the like. I am most concerned about are:
• Making sure I move the right files/folders in the Library related to Apple apps like iTunes, iPhoto, Address Book, Calendar, iWork apps, iPhone backups, etc. plus system/network settings.
• Are there other specific files/folders necessary due to iCloud that are new to Mountain Lion that need moved?
• How to do this in a way that ensures that all permissions will be OK under the new user?
The goal is a new fresh user on a clean fresh ML install that is identical to the current user in name, function and above all, permissions.
Can anyone provide a list of the main files/folders necessary to transfer ideally along the lines of Kappy's earlier and excellent guide?
Thanks for any help!!
~Roger

So long as you use iCloud for Mail, Contacts and Calendars, run software update(s) after installing each app, they will build new preference files for themselves. iTunes will back up the phone too. System settings are likely to change. I found the firewall off and energy saver preferences default. Trackpad options for tap to click and drag lock may change.
Some of the updates are quite large so it takes a few hours and you need any purchase key codes handy for re-registration of software.

How to recover backup user data after a restore

I had a disk fail and could not boot. while in the restore software I was able to backup user data to a USB drive. Now that I've restored from the restore partition and got it running windows 7 home again, I don;t see how to recover the user data made with the low level software. Windows back up doesn't seem to recognise it and I can't find an HP utility to get at it.
A program saved with the .wim back up files brought up an HP restore manager application that then copied the filed to my new C drive but how do I actually get it to recover them into their appropriate places and recreate users etc.
Or, should I just consider myself lucky to still have copies of the files at all? I'll not be real happy about that because it will be a tom of work to recreate everything manually even with the files.
I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution for recovering all my user data into my new restored initial image.
thanks,
-dcb

Hello dcbrower, You may be able to use the program Universal Extractor to extract the files in the .wim file.
This is a Free program that can be found at this Link. .
Just extract the files in the wim file to a location you would like.

How do you migrate Sage Instant Accounts from my old pc to my new imac. Thanks

Nelly, I found this on the Sage web site:
[click to enlarge]
That means you will not have access to Sage at all from a Mac. If Sage is a work requirement, you will have to set up your Mac to run Windows as well as Mac OS. If this is a home product, there are many Mac financial products to which you could probably import your current data on the PC.

Problem while Migrating user data from 10g to 11gR2

Hi experts,
I am trying to Migrate users data(including password and security questions) from 10g to 11gR2 what approach i have followed is..
From 10g using API i retrieved users data including password and security questions and i stored all information into hashmap. This is one java program.
And then i am trying to create that user in 11gR2 using API which i retrieved from 10g . From this 11g program i am creating object of 10g and i am using that hash map to retrieve user information.But i am not getting connection to 10g , it is throwing exception like unknown application server.Both sides i used API only as it is recommended to use API instead of JDBC connection.
Help me in this regard ASAP and suggest if there is any other approach to Migrate users data.
Thanks in Advance

By using Trusted Recon, you won't be able to Fetch Password as it is.
Since your goal is to fetch passwords too, please follow another approach.
You won't be able to get connection to both 10g and 11g simultaneously in the same program.
So, break this task in 2 phases. First connect with 10g, fetch user data in CSV format and then connect with 11G and read this CSV to create users.
Once users are created properly, use APIs for creating challenge questions and answers.
I think, you are getting exception like unknown application server because you are trying to connect to both 10g and 11g environments simultaneously.
Follow the following steps:-
(1) By using 10G APIsyou can't obtain password of user profile in decrypted form. So, Fetch password by using tcDataProvider. It will give you plain text password.
(2) In a custom scheduler written in 10g, retrieve this data in CSV. After all you can't store this info in
String query = "SELECT USR_LOGIN, USR_PASSWORD, USR_FIRST_NAME, USR_LAST_NAME FROM USR";//Add all fields which you want to retrieve from your 10G
(3) Use this query, tcDataProvider, tcDataSet and Java I/O (or any other CSV Third Party tool like the ones obtained in csv.jar in XL_HOME/ext folder) fetch this info in a CSV.
(4) Once CSV is generated, 10g machine is no more needed. Connect with 11g using 11g APIs. Write your custom 11G scheduler in order to read this CSV and use 11g APIs and create users for each record.
(5) Once user records are created in 11g, the difficult part is done. Transfer the Security questions too by using this CSV technique.
Please share results with us.

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware

Hi,
I am trying to migrate user data on a nss volume from a SLES10sp3 and
OES2sp3 server to new hardware already setup with SLES10sp3 and OES2sp3.
Authentication and configuration of the data selection is sorted. After
starting the data transfer I get a message saying the migration failed.
Below is the error from the log file:
FATAL -FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: Cannot migrate source path

Hi kjhurni,
I have not setup to get update from the Novell channel as I have an issue
with connecting to the update channel but I will deal with that later.
I tried to run a miggui to migrate my data to the new server with SLES10sp3
and OES2sp3. Below is the entire log file, I have highlighted the error at
the end of the log file. (Names and addresses have been changed to protect
the innocent)

How do you win the data debate?

I had an interesting conversation with a gentleman this week. He manages product marketing for a specific product in a large organization. They have a vision to segment and personalize communications. The problem is they cannot gain access to the data needed to segment and personalize. How have you overcome the challenge of data debilitation and succeeded in data transparency?

Hi Marilyn, it seems like a lot of people are having this problem. I read this eMarketer article recently called "Why Marketers Still Haven't Mastered Personalization" and it echoes that thought of not being able to access, analyze, and leverage that data to personalize customer experiences.
The approach many in the article are taking is to integrate different sources of data like from the CRM, Eloqua, Bizo, Demandbase, analytics platforms, and other sources of data to get that 360 degree view of the customer journey that's required to be relevant at every touchpoint moving forward. I think taking that approach (gathering and integrating customer data) is the best way to get started in delivering more personalized communications across channels.
Full disclosure, I work for an AppCloud partner called Get Smart Content where our whole focus is web content personalization through integrating all those different data sources. I have lots more insight to share from my time here if you'd like to chat further.
Hope this helped!

How do you backup users emails?

Hello,
I wanted to know how do you backup users emails? We have around 30 users and they are using Outlook 2010 & Thunderbird to access POP/SMTP emails from hosting email server. Since they are using pop so their emails are stored locally on D: drive of their
systems. I want to backup them on our file server.
Any easy automated backup solution for this?
Thanks

Hi,
If you are using Exchange you could try backup on Exchange server side.
Found a tool which could help us merge emails. Please see if it could be considered as a backup:

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions into one MIDI region without using copy and paste functions in the piano roll editor?

Sorry - didn't make myself clear. The glue tool would be no good here. I meant that I wanted, for example, to merge the MIDI contents of two regions that are perhaps on different tracks but play back at the same time, i.e. I want to add the 2nd region's MIDI to the 1st region's MIDI, but without having to go into the piano roll editor and cut and paste the data.
