Lion server : local user account disappear after power outage

On the server computer.After power outage I restart server the machine starts up ok.At login screen local user name disappear but there's others account same as client computer.I can log in to network account but can't log in as local.
In sytem preference local user account is still there.
I don't want to reinstall lion server .
What can i do now?
Thank you for your assistance.

It sounds like the user directory is damaged. You might try booting into the recovery partition, running Disk Utility, and doing a Repair Volume (and maybe a repair permissions) on the server volume.

User account disappeared after an OS 10.4.11 update crash!

I think the power went out during a mac update. When I started the computer again, I saw a very old desktop and all my files are missing! Everything has reverted to an older user account? The name of my user account was apple#1, but now it just says apple and does not contain any of my files created in the last year. Maybe since I upgraded to Tiger, not sure.
Is there a way to find my missing user account or my old files! I tried some of the data recovery programs but they are very difficult to use and dont show file names.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan

Did you try the commands I suggested in the other Topic?

SOS! User account disappeared after password reset!

Hi all, and I apologize for waltzing in and hollering for help like this. I have a user with a Mini running OS X 10.4.11, and this morning the user called me over because she didn't know her password. She normally would boot right into single-user, so it was odd that it asked for a pass at all. In any event we tried to figure her pass out for a while with no success, so I grabbed the OS X 10.4.6 install DVD and went to the reset password utility. I reset the pass and started up, and it gave me a login window with non usernames, just a blank username/pass option. I typed in the user's name and pass (I'd just set it not two minutes prior) and got the window shake.
I repaired permissions and verified the disk, and went back to the reset pass util, which now says there's no user to reset the pass for on that disk!
This would be a major disaster for me if somehow the user was deleted. Any help at all much much appreciated, if you have anything you can give me. I get notified via email immediately so I'll respond fast.

Just an update: I went through the restore netinfo db processes, logged into single user, ran the terminal commands, and there was no network.nidb file where it was supposed to be. I ended up going old school and connecting via Target Disk Mode to another computer, copying out the user files (which were still there, thankfully) and reinstalling the whole dang thing. so, solved, I guess.

Practical usage / difference - local vs server (local / network) accounts

I have purchased a book on Mountain Lion Server, looked on the Apple support community and the Internet but I cannot find a clear answer, or explanation, to my query.
Instead of looking at the features in Mountain Lion (ML) Server and Open Directory (OD) I'd like to approach this in terms of the functionality I would like to achieve. I am sure that many other people have had, will have, the same sort of questions.
Some background: I have an all Apple home network — few Mac machines (iMac, MacBook), iPad, iPhone & Airport Extreme. I recently purchased a Mac mini running ML which I have setup as a server. The installation went OK and the DNS setup is fine.
This is my question / requirement / clarification needed.
As I understand it there are three types of user accounts in OS X + OS X Server with OD:
Computer (standalone) Local — basically the account you would have on a Mac if you had only the one machine. Using (as I believe) a local 'Open Directory' (?) database.
Server 'Local User' — an account on the server using a local OD database on that specific server.
Server 'Local Network User' — an account on the server using a networked OD database on the server.
Below is what do I want to do — this is the functionality I want / don't want. I am aware that some of this functionality may, or may not, be available on OS X + Server + OD. Also I am looking at this from the perspective of a systems administrator of Windows + Active Directory sites — not saying that Windows & AD is better, but that that is my experience & frame of reference.
Access to shared common services — DHCP, DNS, Files, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, Time Machine backup, VPN. That is all the goodies I expected to get with a dedicated Mac mini OS X server machine.
To have access to those services within the home LAN and, as relevant (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Messages) via the Internet. If via the Internet then securely via use of certificates.
Each user (currently) has their own machine with their (Unix style) home folder & files on that machine (the MacBook may have more than one account on it) and is logging locally onto their specific machines.
I do NOT want to have the user's (Unix style) home folder (and all folders within) to be on the server.
Users must be able to log onto their machines (i.e. MacBook) when outside the LAN and be able to access their local machine files.
Now we come to the question of which type of OS X + OS X Server (OD) account do I use for people — keep the local machine account? Use server account? If so then which — server 'Local User' or 'Local Network User'. Of course this can be framed as which OD a user authenticates against and what are the ramifications of each method.
Also relevant is the point that I don't believe OS X Server + OD supports the same concept of Windows called 'cached credentials'. Which means that I couldn't have, for example, files on a computer (MacBook) which have an ACL referencing a server user account GUID because they could not be accessed if the user account was not able to authenticate (outside the LAN) with the OD server.
Anyway to the questions — to achieve all, most of, the five functionality points in the list should I use (and why if someone could explain rationale):
Combination of computer (standalone) Local + server 'Local User' accounts? Obviously as users will be accessing resources on the server it cannot be just Computer (standalone) Local accounts.
Combination of computer Local + server 'Local Network User' accounts?
Just server 'Local Network User' accounts
I am suspecting that it will be option 1, combination of computer (standalone) Local + server 'Local User' accounts. If this option is used would there be a problem if the two accounts have the same username?
Thanks for any help, advice, and/or instruction. Also if anyone has links to further information that would be much appreciated.

Most services (calendar, contacts, vpn) require that your users authenticate via Open Directory.
Your admin account can be local, but put your users in Local-Network (in 10.8 terms)

Unable to load OS bound to a domain after power-outage

I currently manage 200 2013 iMac but since installing Yosemite I've noticed that after the macs are joined to the domain and a network user is using the machine and a power outage occurs ALL iMac running Yosemite will not boot up. The boot process reaches about 30 percent and stays on the grey apple logo screen. After extensive troubleshooting we found that this only occurs when a user is logged in when the power outage occurs. However if the power outage occurs and the units are not being used by a network user the computer boots up fine. We completed a fresh install created a local user without adding it to the domain. We then logged in with the local user mimic'd a power-outage and the computer booted up fine. I have done extensive troubleshooting noticed that the issue does not occur with local users only users authenticated on a domain.
Note: We also noticed that if we deleted network users from the user folder and then performed the power outage and the unit loads the OS fine.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated...

Insert the Mac OS X 10.4 installation disk into the drive, and then restart the computer with the Option key held down. If you are able to successfully start up from the drive, install Mac OS X 10.4.

After installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared

after installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared.

This is my problem too:
All of my local mailboxes (On my Mac) disappeared from the sidebar. However, I do not have the 'triangle' on the Inbox that I can turn to reveal the list of mailboxes -- that disappeared too (and nothing happens when I hover over "Inbox"). I do know that the mailboxes are still there, somewhere, because when I go to create a New Mailbox, I can navigate to "On My Mac" and the entire mailbox list shows up there in the dropdown. How do I get them back onto my sidebar if the option to do that is no longer on the "Inbox" icon?

Local user account not working after trying to connect to windows domain

Newb Question
I was trying to log into a domain with my macbook today at work without success. I think I selected something that is telling my mac to search the domain for the user account, and NOT the local computer. So now when I boot it up the local user account isn't displayed, only 'other...'. When I click that it takes me to a log in text box that doesn't accept either my long or short user names. I booted up from the Snow Leopard disk and tried to change my password there, and that can see the local account there (and lets me change the password). However, when I boot back up from the HDD I get the same problem.
Is there a way of telling it to look locally rather than on the domain when logging in?

you could reset password on the root account from the boot disk also while booted to the system disk, open startup disk, and make sure your computer is set to boot from the built in hard drive.
This will enable root, and hopefully you can log into the computer. try logging in with the user name 'root' and what ever password you set. if you do get in, you can go to apple menu, system preferences, accounts, login options.
Make sure to set display login in window to list.
also make sure that when you click on the join button under login options, that there is nothing there. as in blank.

What is involved in going from local user accounts to active directory accounts with CCM 9.1.2?

We are currently using local user accounts with CUCM 9.1.2 and are looking at integrating it into the active directory structure.
We do utilize the same structure for user ID's.
I am looking to find out what the changeover will entail and if anything else needs to be done prior to the integration.
We also have Unity syncing up with CUCM for users as well as Contact Center sync'ed up for our ACD system.
Thanks
Mike

Hey Mike,
The process is pretty straight forward. CUCM 9.X supports the coexistence of AD integrated users and local users so you don't have to worry about local accounts disappearing if they don't have an AD account. The biggest thing to watch out for is that if you decide to revert back for whatever reason then the accounts that were in AD will be marked for deletion (from the CUCM, not AD) and will be removed after approximately 24 hours.
I recommend the following if you'd like to move to AD.
Run a DRS backup of CUCM. This is not necessary for the integration but is good practice in my opinion. I'd also do a full export of your users using the BAT so you can reimport users to how they were before the integration should you decide to revert for any reason.
Determine if you want to put the user's extensions in the telephonenumber field or ipPhone field in AD. Once you make a decision, I recommend populating that information in AD so it is available when you do the integration.
Make sure your local CUCM user accounts usernames are exactly the same as your domain accounts. That way when you do the integration the local users become AD users and keep all of their phone associations, group memberships, etc. If you need to change the usernames then be sure to notify your users ahead of time so they can start logging into UCCX or UCM user pages, etc. using their new username.
Create an account in AD that has read-only rights to your directory. Set the password to never expire. You will use this account later for the integration.
In CUCM, go into Serviceability and make sure the "Cisco DirSync" service is activated on the Publisher server.
Also in CUCM, navigate to the administration page and do the following:
Go to System > LDAP > LDAP System and Check the box to enable Synchronizing. Confirm the LDAP server type and attribute for User ID is accurate. This is typically Microsoft Active Directory and sAMAccountName respectively.
Go to System > LDAP > LDAP Directory
Click Add New
Give it a name (whatever you want).
Put in the Distinguished Name of the AD integration account you created earlier. For example, if you created an account called ciscoldap in the Service Accounts OU in the abc.com domain then it would look something like this... CN=ciscoldap,OU=Service Accounts,DC=abc,DC=com
Enter the password for the account.
Enter the search base. This can be a specific OU where your users exist, a parent OU which contains other OUs which contain all of your users or the entire domain. If you do the entire domain then in the abc.com example you would specify DC=abc,DC=com.
Select the option to perform a sync with AD on periodic intervals. The lowest interval you can set is every 6 hours.
Select either the telephonenumber or ipPhone field to be used for the user's extensions. This will be whatever you decided and populated in AD in an earlier step.
Add your primary and any backup domain controllers and ports. If they are just domain controllers and you are not using SSL then specify port 389. If they are also global catalog servers then you can do port 3268.
Click Save and Click the "Perform Full Sync Now" button.
I recommend that you also use LDAP for authentication as well so you only have one username and password to remember which is all controlled by AD. To add this do the following:Go to System > LDAP > LDAP Authentication.
Click Add New
Check the box to use LDAP Authentication
Add the same Distinguished name, passwords and user seach base that you used for your integration account earlier under the synchronization section. Also add the same primary and secondary LDAP servers and ports you used earlier.
Click Save
You can go a step further and create a filter to only pull in the users within the search base you specified and apply that. For example, maybe only pull in users that have their ipPhone field populated. Let me know if you have any questions on that or any of the above.
I hope this helps!

Local user account is trying to autenticating against domain controller

Hi all. I am seeing a weird user logon issue on one of my laptop and on another user's PC. Both of the laptop and the PC is a member of our domain. However, on this particular laptop and PC, we are not login with a domain user account,
rather we've created a local user account, grant it the local admin access, and login with this local user account. Now, on my domain controller, I am seeing a bunch of account login failure message, which happens few times per minute and filling up
the domain controller security log. For the laptop, this is a clean build, with fresh Windows 7 installation, alone with MS Office 2010 and few third party application (eg: Adobe Reader, 7-ZIP, etc). I've checked all group policy to ensure there
are no service or connection that requires domain credential access that have applied to this laptop (or the PC). I am not sure why this local user is trying to authenticating to our domain controller. This user account doesn't exist in our domain.
The only thing I can think of is Microsoft Outlook 2010 might doing back ground authentication against the domain controller by using the current login user account, I just can't confirm this. Did anyone encountered this issue in their environment?
Thank you.

Adding Local User Account Alongside RADIUS

Greetings!
Currently every Cisco device authenticates with a RADIUS server we have on campus. I'm trying to add a local user account onto our switches and routers so that if the RADIUS server is unavailable or the switch looses connection we are able to use another login to access what we need. However when I add aaa authorization and authentication commands (no default) I think the switch cannot identify what is a RADIUS login and what is a local login. Depending on how we move commands around local will work and RADIUS will not, or RADIUS will work and local will not. Any suggestions on how to get both to work at the same time?
Thanks!
-Noah

Perhaps I do not have a correct understanding of what you are asking. But let me explain a little and if that does not address your issue then perhaps you can provide some clarification.
You can not have Radius and the local account work at the same time - at least not in the sense that you can login and enter either one and expect it to work. What you can do (and what most people do) is to define one as primary (usually Radius) and one as backup (usually local account). Then when you attempt to login the device will attempt to use Radius, and if the Radius server is not available then it will use the local account.
If that does not clarify your issue then please help us understand better what your issue is.

Migrating local user accounts/home directories to network user accounts

Hi,
I am planning on moving the user accounts from several Mac OS X client machines to a new Mac OS X Server machine (Quad core Xeon MacPro). I am very familiar with OS X client in a support environment, but do not have extensive experience with Server.
I read over the instructions in this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c6um3.html
and it appears to be fairly straight forward, although I do have some questions regarding the existing data (home folders) and how to set the clients to log in to the network account.
Previously, in the event that I have needed to move a person's home directory to a new computer or recover from a corrupt OS (and Archive&install was not an option), in OS X client I would:
1) Back up the home directory.
2) Erase/reinstall OS X client.
3) Log in as Root.
4) Go into "Accounts" pref pane and create user with same short name as original/backed-up home directory.
5) Replace the newly created home directory with the backed-up home directory.
6) Go into Terminal and chown/chgrp the home directory to username/staff, respectively.
This would result in a perfectly migrated user account. All settings and files working just as they did on the previous system/install of OS X.
First Question: Could I employee a similar method to retain the content and settings from the local user accounts on the server as I migrate them to network users? Moving the user accounts to the server as described, then running terminal to set proper ownership...
Second Question: What do I do on each client system to tell it to recognize the networked home directory for each user? Do I just change the user's home folder path in Netinfo Manager to the automount location?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
-David

A network account is really existing only on the server but if you use "portable homefolders" (Tiger client and server) you could "migrate" the local account to a "server" one by:
Login locally as another user with administrative rights.
Change the name of the old account folder in /Users.
Remove the "old" account locally (woun't remove the "old" folder as you changed the name) only Netinfo data.
Login using the serveraccount login/password thus creating a homefolder on the server.
Logout and back in, enable portable homefolder.
Logout and then in as a local admin and remove the new user folder.
Change the name on the old userfolder to what the new one had.
I'm not a 100% sure Netinfo has the server account UID now (added by logging in and creating the portable account?) but if it does:
(http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-12077.html)
"Finding and changing UIDs across the filesystem is a one-liner command:
sudo find / -user UID -exec chown userName {} \;
(replace UID with the old UID number and userName with the new user name to associate file ownership.)"
(A portable account must have got some "kind" of UID?)
Let the machine "sync" with the server account.
If you want an "on network only" account I don't know what you need to remove locally afterwards.

Bug When Converting (Back) To Local User Account

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and began by setting up a local user account, which is the Administrator account. I then successfully switched the account to a Microsoft account, with the same user name.
As a test, I then decided to switch back to a local user account.
The bug is that I was not permitted to use the same user name. I had to select a different user name. This defeats the purpose of transparently switching a from a Microsoft account to a local account.
Fortunately (for me) I had anticipated that something might go wrong and had performed a full system backup to a external USB drive before I began this switching test.
L.M.Cohen

While Windows 8.1 (Pro) allows you to create new User accounts, it is set up to "convince" you to create Microsoft-type user accounts, rather than local user accounts.
And if you try to convert a Microsoft-type account to a local user account,
with the same user name, it will not yet you do it. However it will allow you to convert in the opposite direction,
with the same user name.
So I started all over and carefully read the small print -- to learn that you can initially set up a local user account. But this is discouraged, but if you persist, it can be done -- even though it is implied that "the sky might fall."
This is disingenuous.
However now that I understand the dynamics, I have no more problems.

HT2602 If i download mountain lion will all user accounts use this operating system automatically?

If i download mountain lion will all user accounts use this operating system automatically? Or do I need to download it for each user... Its taking ages to download too.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you upgrade the operating system, all users are upgraded to be used with the new version, so you won't have to upgrade OS X each time for all your users

My AppleTV stopped working after power outage. Light is on and I rebooted and reset w remote but it keeps giving me a pic of the Hdmi cord like it is not recognizing the hdmi as being plugged in. I've unplugged it several times.

It is in recovery mode. The picture is telling you to connect to iTunes via micro usb cable in order to restore.
