How to recover user accounts and email after clean (not upgrade) server reinstall

I have a OSX Mavericks Server 3.1.2 that has developed issues than only a clean install will resolve. I have a large number of user accounts and email data that needs to be reinstated after the the clean install and I am not sure if Migration from a backup is the best way to reover the user data. Someone p[lease tell me that I dont have to recreate all the user accounts and restore the email directories manually! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Helloo,
I know that it is not the same issue but you might try the steps below listed since it is the same error message and there seems to be a fault in the registery of XP

Mail and Multiple User Accounts and Email Accounts

Hi there I want to be able to have two seperate pop email accounts, one for each of the two user accounts on my Mac mini but what is actually happening is that the primary mail account opens up within both user accounts and if you email the secondary account it arrives at the inbox for the primary one. The two pop accounts have the same ISP (NTL) and incoming mail server but different user names. I'd be very grateful for any suggested solutions!
Thanks
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

When you check Mail preferences and select accounts, you should show only one account for each user. If two accounts show for both, the upper account is considered the primary, but all mail from all listed accounts will be available.
If you show two accounts, delete the account not belonging to the logged in person.

Apple Mail: Lost all Mail accounts and emails - after reboot - how to recover?

Here is what happened:
upgrade to 10.8.4.
macbook air froze
I held down power button
reboot took a looong time ... I nearly thought the little "meter" on the grey screen was stuck. But it finally came through:
I then logged in as usual
opened Mail
and nearly died, since all my 7 mail-accounts were gone + all emails gone
except mobile me account
tried restarting, restart mail.
mail crashed almost immidiately upon opening.
then I did what linc davis said in https://discussions.apple.com/message/22477277?tstart=0#22477277?tstart=0 and mail started anew, and now Mail doesn't crash straight away.
It seemed to import my mobile me mails, but comes up with the "!" sign next to my mobile me account and: "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” on port 143 timed out."
I have verified that username and paswword are correct and saved in preferences.
But anyways; thanks to another post from you elsewhere I have located my 7 mail accounts in subfolders to something called the V2 folder. There are 6 POP accounts each in a folder and one I think is called EWS.
So: How to I restore these POP accounts in Apple Mail and reimport all my (vital) emails from the last two years?
phew, I have loved working in mac OX for as long as I remember ... but this experience, I could have done without.
I really, really hope some genius can help out. Thanks

Mail isn't showing your eMails correctly or what?
Might try this before we restore anything...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ does not exist.

How to recover deleted account and its files ?

I have 2 accounts on my iMac and deleted accidentally one of the accounts and its files. Since both accounts are backed up via time machine, can I recover the deleted account?
I tried to find it on time machine but with no success. Could someone help how to trace the deleted account on time machine?
Many thanks
Tom

+I have 2 accounts on my iMac and deleted accidentally one of the accounts and its files.+
In your admin account, go into the Accounts preference pane and recreate the account, if you deleted it from the list. If you didn't delete it, do so now and then create it again. That will create a new home folder for the user. Then log in as that user and restore the files.

How to manage user account and management through AMS

Hi all,
I’m in the process of designing a new mobile app that requires user registration, login and password reset. Basically all the standard user self service activities that public apps provide. Imagine Instagram for example.
We’re already looking at Azure Mobile Services and Facebook, Live, etc. authentication. But I’m a bit unclear on how to best handle manual user registrations. How would you best handle a user who decides that they want to register
without their social account?
User table in the custom application DB with user name, password, etc. and custom user management pages for registration, login, password reset
Azure Active Directory and OAuth same as with facebook, etc. Then build custom user management pages for registration, login, password reset, etc.
Some other Azure service that I don't know about?
Something else?
I noticed there is already another related question here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/ca5527f6-1130-4ebb-b335-2d4d6eda7734/create-new-account-and-reset-password-options-on-aad-signin-page?forum=azuremobile
The 2 important aims for this app are to require minimal maintenance and support overhead and high security at the same time.
Thanks,
Kia

I am not saying that, but with your question it looks like you want a custom auth.
Did you saw these article:

How close an user account and maintain the accessibility of orders

Hello,
I have a question about HRMS.
I would like to close a user while still being able to see the commands created by this user.
For example, I have a user "A", he created orders "COM_01", "COM_02" and "COM_03". I fill out an end date for closing this user.
Then, in a second time with the user "B" (user still active) I want to see the orders "COM_01", "COM_02" and "COM_03".
But, it's not possible.
What should I do to enable the consultation of these orders?
Thank you in advance for your help.
regards,
Antoine.

That's what I meant. My original plan was:
1) Create a new account with admin privileges.
2) Make the original account a standard account.
Unfortunately, this does not work because the name of the original account is: "admin". And for whatever reason, it is impossible to remove admin privileges from an account named: "admin". The checkbox for doing so is grayed out.

I've Lost cellular data network and emails after 5.0 upgrade. "Could not activate cellular data network". Have turned off and on, removed sim and also checked APN setting can anyone help...

I've lost cellular date network, all unopened important business emails and internet access on my Ipad 2 after 5.0 upgrade. Received "Could not activate cellular date network" - I have turned on and off, removed the sim and checked the APN is correct. Can anyone help - struggling and need for my business.

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

How to Design User Accounts and Groups for Human Task

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein we have a group of people to whom tasks get assigned. Details are below
Assume
PO- Purchase Order
IN- Invoice
CL1 - Client 1
CL2 - Client 2
CL3 - Client 3
REP1 - User 1
REP2 - User 2
REP3 - User 3
APP1 - Approver 1
APP2 - Approver 2
APP3 - Approver 3
1. There are two groups of people say PO_Team and IN_Team.
2. REPx are the folks who are in the IN_Team. They handle monitor invoices and run reports on them (READ - Only)
3. APPx are the folks who are in the PO_team. They approve order and sometimes modify them (READ-WRITE)
4. CLIx are the clients each of whom send PO and expect IN in return
5. CLI1 - APP1- REP1 together handle one client.
Now the requirement is something like this
1. APP1 must be able to see the PO and IN only from CLI1
2. APP1 must be able to see editable view of PO from CLI1
3. APP1 must be able to see red only view of IN from CLI1
4. REP1 must be able to see the PO and IN only from CLI1
5. REP1 must be able to see read only view of IN from CLI1
6. REP1 must be able to see read only view of PO from CLI1
7. In exception cases APP1 can assign a PO from CLI1 to APP2
Can someone help me in the design of groups and permissions for this?
TIA

Groups are the way to go. Every Human Task can be assigned to either a user or a group or a user and a group. Select the last option so that it goes to a particular user but also to a group. That way anyone in the group can approve these tasks though it is sent to one particular users list. Anyone from that group can pick that task up and approve it

Reinstall emailaccounts and emails after hard disk crash ?

Ist there a way to reinstall my email accounts and email after a hard disk crash ?

Kind regards
Ernest

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

How to create new user account and delete old one?

Greetings,
we have wanted to change our alias on the discussions group but understand from the frequently asked questions section that,
"Once you create an alias, you cannot make changes to it. If you want to change your alias, you will need to create a new User Account".
However it does not go on to tell us specifically how to now set up a "new User Account". Could someone specify how to do this? And if we do this, how would we then delete the current User Account? Thank you.
Chris

Thanks for the reply.
However I am still confused. I originally thought the "user account" referred to an account specific to the Discussions Forums, not the general "Apple ID" however your email seems to suggest they are one and the same....Please clarify.
If so, however I do not think I am able to change my Apple ID. As I am a mobile me user I am required to us my mobile me address for my apple ID.....and do not think I can have two ID's with the same mobile me address.....
Any additional thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Chris
Not with the same Primary address, but you can use your MM address as a secondary one. That is how I have my 2 Apple IDs setup. 1 uses my Dot Mac address and the other uses an ISP address as the Primary with the latter having my Dot Mac address as an alternate address.
Warning, even if you create a new account, you won't be able to use your current ALIAS with the new account.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How can I find the user that created a user account and the user who last updated the account

How can I find out who created a user account and who last updated the account. I think that this is the same information that is displayed in the description field on the General tab.
I am using ADO commands and vbscript

I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.
