Imported User accounts from 10.6 Server not usable

Hello,
I have exported Users and Groups from 10.6 Server and import them using WGM to Lion Server. These users are not usable (for example if you try to login to Webmail or create an e-mail account to Apple Mail), in logs we get:
Mar 29 15:48:02 email dovecot[4311]: auth: Error: od(USERNAME,192.168.11.8): validate response: lookup failed for user: USERNAME
Any solution?
Best regards
Kostas

Hi
You've not said whether the Mail Service is running on your 10.7 Server but did you reset your users' passwords after importing and did you set the appropriate SACLs for those imported users using the Server.App?
WGM is not as effective in 10.7 as it was in 10.6. This is because Apple deprecated it in readiness for Profile Manager. They had to re-introduce it a short time later in a slightly modified form because of the outcry from the US education sector. What this means is you can't really use it confidenctly like before.
FWIW I've found using WGM in conjunction with Server.App and Server Admin works fairly reliably rather than using WGM alone. So what does that mean? Try clearing the users out of WGM and re-import them into the Server.App instead. Define access to services from there and hopefully things should start to work again?
HTH?

How to transfer user accounts from Active Directory to Open Directory

Please help me , want to tranfer user accounts from Active Directory (Windows server 2012 ) to Open Directory (OS X server 10..2.9)

Hi,
Go to the advanced administration for the OSX Server:
https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/3.1/#apd6D7FE39D-32AA-400C-91E1-5 0ABC15655C8
This pretty easy way of connecting your server to the Windows server should give AD users access to OD services. That will be a good start.
Read up on this as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15469
Do you want to import them all or just the Mac users?
Goodluck!

Importing User settings from one CC user into another

Hi There,
I want to import user settings from one account, then use those as a base to setup user setting for another. IE I want to use my settings from work [which I did not pay for] and use that as a starting point for my personal user account at my home office [which I did pay for].
I'm concerned about messing up my work settings + at home I'm on a laptop, not a 2 display tower.
Specificaly, its the custom keyboard, sequence and output, and loging colums/metadata display settings that I'd love not to have to setup from scratch, again.
Also, I have co workers who prefer my settings and I'd like to share these with them- but don't want them to be signed in as me, and messing me up accidentaly.
Many Thanks
David

OK so this does not work. I'm running CC, on OSX 10.8.3.
For those that don't know, in order to reveal the library folder in OSX 10.7+, you need to either enter this into terminal:
Permanent Reveal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
Permanent Hide:
chflags hidden ~/Library
Or hold down option key + finder/go, for temporary reveal.
So after doing this, and coying over the directories Jax mentioned [+ '7.0' folders, as I'm in CC], I'm still not getting the keyboard mappings, just the defaults.
I've just synced with my work account, and brought up another issue: My scratch disks and media paths are all different on my home office, and I don't want to have to reset those everytime I switch from one location to another.
If I could get what Jax sudgested to work, that would be an exelent work arround for this situation. Otherwise its a feature request for managing syncing between multiple accounts...
Thanks again Jax for tyring to help

How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
(Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
(One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

Import User Accounts

Basically I want to import user info from excel to workgroup manager. Details below...
I get user info from a DB that generates an excel spreadsheet with First Name, Last Name, Email Address. I add a new column for short name using first initial and lastname. How do I go about importing this info into workgroup manager? I've tried saving as tab delimited txt file and then using the import funtion but it does'nt work. Can someone tell me the format to making it work?
Thanks!!

Hi leadstrand
You could have a look at passenger
" 1. Import Database Text
Passenger takes comma, colon, or tab-delimited text, basic LDIF, Mac OS X Server & ASIP XML, or folder names of a user directory and imports names and other information to prepare for import into a server or other user file management functions"
Should do what you want.
Cheers

How do I run a user account from an external HD?

How do I run a user account from an external HD? I will be away from my desktop iMac and want to use our MacBook Pro overseas for two months with my iMac user account copied to an external drive.

1. WARNING: This procedure is for advanced users only. Some third-party software may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if the home folder is moved.
2. Back up all data.
3. Copy your home folder to the desired location, which must be on a volume of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with file ownership enabled, as shown in the Finder Info dialog. Encryption is optional. The volume must be on a local storage device, not on the network, and it must be mounted automatically at startup — before any user logs in. A disk image will not work.
The name of your home folder is your short user name. Do not rename it. Do not copy the "Users" folder.
5. Select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Users & Groups
Click the lock icon and authenticate. Right-click or control-click your name in the account list, and select Advanced options from the popup menu. In the sheet that opens, change the location of the home directory. Log out and log back in.
6. Test. If you have problems, reverse the above steps. If you got this far, you should have no trouble doing that. If everything works as you expect, delete the original home folder.

Migration Assistant Won't Migrate User Account from Time Machine

I am trying to move my wife's user account from a Time Machine backup using Migration Assistant. Migration assistant chugs along for 2 1/2 hours and says everything was transfered hunkie-dorie. However, when I try to log her on, I can't. When I log on as me, I went to System Prefs --> Accounts, her username is there. However, when I look inside the Users folder, none of her information is there.
thanks in advance,
tim

No Filevault on my computer and hers.
Doesn't work in Save Boot, either. That is the puzzle. Her account appears at the login screen--even the flower pic. that was migrated from from the Time Machine backup. The login screen will not accept any password. I know I'm typing it correctly. Her account appears in System Prefs --> Users, but it's not in the Users folder on my disk drive.

Excluding temporary user accounts from Time Machine back-ups

I have some temporary user accounts in addition to the default Guest account on my iMac. I currently have Time Machine backing up my entire system (the default TM setup). However, I'd like back up only my admin and permanent user accounts from now on.
Having done a little research, I believe I have the answer but want to make sure I'm including all the relevant directories. I believe the answer is to add the specific user folders to TM Preferences > Options > Do Not Backup. e.g., if my hard disk is named "MacintoshHD" and I want Users 'Account1' and 'Account2' to be excluded from all future TM backups, I would add these folders to the Do Not Backup folder:
/MachintoshHD/Users/Account1
/MachintoshHD/Users/Account2
So 2 questions:
1. Are these the right folders to make sure Account1 and Account2 are never backed up in the future?
2. Are there any other folders that i am overlooking?
Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Are these the right folders to make sure Account1 and Account2 are never backed up in the future?
yes.
2. Are there any other folders that i am overlooking?
no, those are the only folders you need to exclude.
Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your help!

Restoring user accounts from system install backup directory

Hi,
I had some kind of disk problem that forced me to reload tiger. When tiger intalled it backed up all of the user directries. After the new install booted up I can not figure out how to restore all of my user accounts from this backup directory. Maybe I am making it too hard (ex PC user). The migtration utility only wants to restore off a Mac or different volume. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you did an Archive & Install, then you should have selected the saving user and network settings. Otherwise, everything was put into the Previous System folder. IIRC, you need to recreate the users, using the exact same username and password combinations. Then, log into each account, open the corresponding folder within the Previous System/Users/ directory and transfer everything from the old account to current account.

Restore Filevault enabled user account from Timecapsule?

My imac running Snow Leopard crashed but was backed up to my Time Capsule.
The guy at the Apple store just erased & re-loaded the OS and said my timecapsule was still in tact after the crash.
I tried using migration assistant at home to re-load my mac as it was before the crash from Timecapsule but it says I cannot transfer my user account because it was encrypted with filevault???
PLEASE HELP! My entire life is on this computer and the ONLY reason i got a timecapsule with the new imac was so I could restore everything with one click after a crash!
(as a side note my 5 1/2 year old macbook running OS X Lion crashed with the latest update and subsequently it's hard drive died at the same time! so I'm completely screwed if I can't restore my user account from time capsule.
HELP!!!

But did you repair your backups?
That's a different thing. If they're corrupted, it could explain the problem you're having; if we can repair them, the full system restore may work.
The difficulty here is, you can repair an internal or external HD by starting from your Snow Leopard Install disc and using Disk Utility. But to repair the sparse bundle on a Time Capsule, you must be able to log on to your Mac with a (any) user account, and locate the sparse bundle via the Finder to mount it first.
Since you apparently have a restore attempt running now, don't interrupt it.
But if it doesn't work, or you can't find all your data, and if you can log on to your Mac with any account, try repairing the backups per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Copy a user account from one disk to another

I replaced the hard drive in my G5 imac, and for one reason or another, using restore failed to create a bootable disk. Instead, I reinstalled Leopard. I would like to copy the old user account from the old hard drive so I can seamlessly continue using my computer. I created a secondary account on the new drive with the same name as the old one, and then copied the contents, but that didn't work very well.
Can you advise how to restore the account from an old disk for use on a new one?

Well, the desktop picture was generic, opening firefox gave me the error along the lines of "cannot open firefox, firefox is already open." Trying to download a new firefox tells me that there's no room on the disk. That's about where I stopped. Pretty much everything isn't working right.

Hi,
Is there any special thing we have to do to create Oracle USER from another system?I believe you need to check the third party manual or contact the vendor for other considerations when creating user accounts from this system.
For FND_USER_PKG, please see the links referenced in this thread.
