How to merge user accounts into one account

I have 2 user accounts and need to merge them into one (having both running seems to slow down the computer significantly). There is some overlap in itunes and apps but none on iphoto. What would be the best way to do it?
Krzys

To move files from user account A to account B, log in as A, and move all the files to /Users/A/Public. Then log in as B. Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public, and drag them to the desktop to copy them. Then file them away in their appropriate places. When done, you can delete the A account.
Suggestion: Keep one spare admin account around to use in an emergency. If your other account gets borked and you can't log in, it could save your bacon. A second user account is also useful for troubleshooting misbehaving apps.

How to exclude user account for auditing.

I would like to know how to exclude user account from the audit policy, such as below.
AUDIT SELECT TABLE BY ACCESS WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFUL ;
thanks in advance.

Security team request to reduce the amount of the audit data based on the user account. Can I use FGA to implement it?possible as it lets you specify the conditions necessary for an audit record to be generated:
FGA policies are programatically bound to the object (table, view) by using the 'dbms_fga' package. It allows you to create any desired condition,
for example: Audit an event only when the following conditions are true:
A table is accessed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. and on Saturday and Sunday.
An IP address from outside the corporate network is used.
A specific column has been selected or updated.
A specific value for this column has been used.

Merging user accounts after using Migration Assistant

I've just acquired my first Mac (Lion OS) and set it up without using the Migration Assistant. I set up mail accounts for my existing email addresses (Gmail & Virgin). A few days later I decided to transfer my old files from the PC using Migration Assistant. Rather than do the whole thing in one go I thought I'd start with iTunes. What I failed to realise is that the Migration creates a new user account on the Mac (something I only noticed when I couldn't find iTunes and went searching). If I now migrate something else such as "My Photographs", another user account will appear.
I don't really want more than one user account so how do I transfer the iTunes music from one account to another and the same when I bring more stuff across from the PC? A related issue is the fact I've set up mail accounts already. If I migrate my Outlook mail folders and email account details can these also be merged or will the Mac be confused as I've already set something up?
Any help appreciated from this newbie Mac user. Thanks.

Merge user account

HI,
I just got my first mac, (a MacBook Air). I used the windows migration assistant to transfer my files from my old PC to my new mac. It took 4 days, but finally finished, and all the files I wanted are in huge mac. However, the files are on a new user account. Now I have two accounts on my computer. I'll be the only person using it, so it's really annoying to have to switch between them. How of I merge accounts or move the files from one account to the other (without spending 4 days waiting for files to move)?
i tried doing some internet searches but found info that was for older versions of the operating system or used too much tech speak. Anyone have a simple answer?
Thanks!

User Account – Combine Two

Merging User Accounts

I used Migration Assistant to transfer files and applications form 2 older computers to my newer laptop and now have 3 different user accounts. I want to merge these all into one, how do I do this?

I recommend you read Pondini's guide on the subject. Note that you need to be careful not to overwrite files with the same name, iPhotos and iTune libraries in particular. Give them a suffix to their names to differentiate them.
iPhoto Library Manager has a facility to merge libraries. I don't know about iTunes.

How to merge 2 accounts

I have an apple id under my gmail.com address. I just started using iCloud for my email. I would to update my email address on my original ID from [email protected] to [email protected] Since when you create a new iCloud account it makes a completely new apple ID for you it won't let you do that. I would like to either merge the accounts or somehow make one account under the @me.com address.
I was maybe thinking I could delete the @me account then some how change the @gmail acount to a @me account.
Btw Both accounts have the exact same address execpt the domain. example: [email protected] and [email protected]

iTunes/AppStore/iBook - purchased items DRM system stores the Apple-ID in its items, so all purchases are hardcoded to the Apple-ID once used to buy stuff.
I think THAT is the true problem.
I sit in the same boat. Used msn.com Apple-ID for purchases and now have a Me.com,too. Want only One but also do not want to lose my apps and songs worth over 200 Euros.

Active Directory: how to return users account permissions RWDA?

In SCS 7.x
I`v been looking throught idoc functions and couldn`t find one to return the users account permissions when they log in with active directory..
How is this done..
I`v noticed they added the code in 10g..
<$userHasAccessToAccount("profile_account", "R")$>
Thanks.
Update:: I ended up just writing my own function that called a service returned AD info split the string and matched it against the account to return 1 = R, 2 = W, 4 = D, 8 = A
R = 1
RW = 3
RWD = 7
RWDA = 15

How to change user account's Short Name

Hopefully this is a fairly simple question.
When I installed OX 10.3 I mispelled my short name, and now I'm can't find how to change it.
Reffering specifically to: System Preference>Accounts>Short Name
It's not super important, but would be handier to have it displaying correct for networking.
If anyone can let me know how to change the short name, and any issues that may result from changing it, it would be great.
Thanks for any input

Hi baobhanjex!
Here is a direct link that usually works, to the utility ChangeShortName by Dan Frakes.
Read all of the instructions carefully, and proceed cautiously, as an improper change can result in unwanted results.
Such as;
Return to Default Desktop, Apparent "Loss" of Home Directory
Mac OS X 10.3 Help: My home folder and desktop are different than before
Also, here is a KB Article on How to change user short name or home directory name.

How to unlock user account in Windows Server 2003

Hi,
I want to unlock a user account in Windows Server 2003.
I have read a great post at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=716240&start=0&tstart=0
But I can not get it to work. According to the post the only thing you need to do is:
"+to unlock an account, just set the value of the attribute lockoutTime to zero+".
When I set lockoutTime to zero nothing happens. The user can still not logon.
When I read the lockoutTime attribute for an account that is locked it is empty or zero if I have tried to unlock it earlier.
So it doesn´t seem to change when the account is locked.
Thanks!

Hi,
Windows Server 2012 has come with the concept of Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).
Following are the benefits of gMSA,
- A single gMSA can be used on multiple hosts.
- A gMSA can be used for scheduled tasks.
- A gMSA can be used for IIS Application Pools, SQL 2012 etc.
Checkout the below link regarding complete information on gMSA (creation and usage),

How to make users accountable while they record results

Dear Gurus
I want to add accountability to QE51 while result recording so that i can check which result is recorded by which user. How can i make users accountable while they record results? Kindly help me on this

Hi Dear,
Yes you can make user more accountable while doing the Resul Recording(RR) as well as Usage Decision (UD) THROUGH TRANSACTION CODE qe11, qa11, qe51n using "Electronic Signature' functionality.
By this functionality you can also controlled the user while doing RR and UD using Authorisation.
By implementing the electronic signature functionality - you can see who had done RR/UD on what date, time also you can track who had attemted to do the RR/UD using Transaction code DSAL.
I hope this will help you.

How to troubleshoot user account in Lion?

I am using MS Office 2011 for Mac. When I open documents on my MBP that are using the 'Review' feature it crashes Word instanteously. It happens all the time. I have installed all updates for Lion and for Office. The same documents work on my iMac that ise the same version of Lion and Office.
I have tried the following:
1) Completely uninstalling Office and then reinstalling it. No joy.
2) Resetting all permissions for the file system/files. No joy.
3) Removing all user preferences for the whole system and restarting with no user preferences. No joy.
4) Checked all fonts and removed any font that had an issue. No joy.
5) I have created a new user account on Lion and the document opens fine on the new user account. So, some joy but I want to avoid having to move everything else to this user account just because Office works only on the new user account. I would prefer to find the problem with my main user account.
What can I do to troubleshoot the user account so I can fix and correct the problem so that these word documents open?
Since the document opens fine on my other computer and on the test user account I don't think it is MS Office 2011 that is the problem but some other thing.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
Regards,
Martin

There is no mention of Office or Word in the logs at all. I tried to delete the cache too but no joy.
I have deleted all of the prefernces and Microsoft User Data and also no joy.
It is not just this document, it happens to all documents that have used Track Changes. The document is on my desktop now but I have also tried it from my dropbox folder.
Really strange as it is hard to narrow down.
Do you have any experience in moving all data/apps/etc. from one user account to another? It seems like a clumsy way to fix this but if I can't get the issue to be resolved I might have to do this.
Thanks for your help....
