Migrating users from other partitions

I'm dealing with "Epic Stupid" in how Apple handles something in 10.4.
My hard drive developed a few bad blocks. It's becoming unusable because apparently those bad blocks are directly under certain key files, because it's hard to do much without getting "stun locked" by the gorram beach ball.
Anyway, my disk has a second partition on it which was unused. I went ahead and formatted that partition, wrote the partition with zeros (which I hope had the effect of flagging all bad blocks), and installed OS X 10.4.10 from the DVD's.
Naturally the system comes up and treats me like I'm a completely new user of MacOS. It allows me to import users from other partitions -- but here's the problem. It wants to migrate the users, which would be great for preserving disk permissions - but then it wants to COPY ALL THEIR DATA. That's ridiculous. Their data is already on the other partition. I want to copy the identities but not all their data.
How am I supposed to do that? Import the user identities and tie it back to the UID that's on the other partition so <user X> can access <user X>'s data?
By the way, other than that, putting the boot OS on the new partition is working great. No beach balls unless I touch the other partition.

Yeah I know Virtually all of my data is copied off already. I say "virtually" because the backup was piecemeal, and I'm
a) not 100% sure I got everything and
b) not looking forward to hand-reassembling my entire environment from scratch. I.E. I don't relish reloading all my songs into iTunes and resetting play counts to zero, having it forget which podcasts I've listened to, etc. etc.
I would prefer if possible to get one "coherent" backup and it appears the problem partition is no longer reliably bootable.

Migrating User from MCS 7828 H3 to UCS C220

        Hi All
I wanted to can someone tell me what is the process for migrating users from a MCS 7828 to a UCS C220. A associate of mine called me about doing a migration from the MCS to the UCS series and he wants to know how does he get the users over to the new platform.Thanks in advance for the help and have a great day.

Hi Scooter817,
There are a few options depending on what the customer has today and what will be the end state. Below are the most common scenarios:
1st Scenario - Customer is on older SW releases (8.x, 7.x, etc..) on MCS server(s) without UCSS wanting to move to new SW releases (9.x) on UCS C220.    The most cost effective way is to buy $9 upgrade per user per application SKUs (ex. UPG-6K-ENH) with UCSS for 3 years. There is more information on the BE6K product page under the partner section around migrations BE6K Product Page - http://www.cisco.com/go/be6000
2nd Scenario - Customer is on older SW releases (8.x, 7.x, etc..) on MCS server(s) with UCSS wanting to move to new SW releases (9.x) on UCS C220.    Since they have UCSS, they can go to PUT with thier contract number request updated SW and licensing, then re-host licenses to the new server. PUT link: http://tools.cisco.com/gct/Upgrade/jsp/productUpgrade.jsp
3rd Scenario - Customer is on older SW releases (8.x) on MCS server(s) with or without UCSS wanting to move to same SW releases (8.x) on UCS C220.   They can re-host licensing to the new server via SWIFT. Here is the link to the process. https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/lookupLicenseForRehost

Migrate Users from 3.0.9 to 9.0.4

Hi:
We successfully migrated our users from Portal 3.0.9 (DB 8.1.7.4) to iAS 9.0.2 follow portalstudio/upgrade notes, running ssomig script. After upgrade the atribute "userpassword" in OID does not exist, and when the user connects for first time the sso page request a new password and the the atribute has a value. Due to a bug we install 9.0.4 and try to migrate users from 3.0.9 to iAS 9.0.4. Unfortunately is necesary upgrade our database 8.1.7.4 to 9.0.1 before run the upgrade.csh script. We cannot do this. And ran the new ssomig script against 8.1.7 and get a error when compile a package. Then we ran the ssomig script (9.0.2 whitout the patch part) and get the ldif files but when the script try to load the files, get the ldap 50 error. Then we modify the ldif files and load with ldapdadd command (note 251775.1) and the users are in the OID whitout the "userpassword" atribute but when we try to connect in the sso page get the invalid password error. Any idea?

Hi
The ssomig scripts (patch 2995671) must be run from a 309 SSO schema to an iAS 902 infrastructure. No other combination is currently supported. You can not migrate directly to a 904 infrastructure, although this may change at some future point in time. You must also be careful when running the commands because they require different environment variable settings for the export and the import operations.
Immediately after migration the password attribute in OID will not have a value. 309 SSO and 902 OID use different one way hashing to encrypt the value therefore it can not be directly transferred. The values are populated when the user logs in again. The password is checked against the old value and if ok is re-encypted into OID. This process is modified if the password does not meet the default password policy and in this scenario the user will be prompted to enter a new value.
You must follow the steps and sequence in the Portal Upgrade Guide carefully to succeed. Changing from the documented path is not supported and will almost certainly fail.
I recommend you get in touch with support ie log a TAR and discuss your configuration to put in place the correct upgrade plan for your environment.
Regards

Migrating user from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 succeeds but OWA redirects to 2010

Hello everyone,
I am migrating users from exchange 2010 to 2013, Users migration works perfectly and completes without any issue but after the user migration finishes I try to login to OWA but user goes to OWA exchange 2010 not 2013 as if the mailbox has not been migrated.
I have checked the HomeMDB attribute and I can see the new database on 2013 is located there. how to solve this? I have retransfered the user back to 2010 and 2013 but it didn't work.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Mohammed JH

Hi Amit
After 30 mins approximately we checked the inboxes that have been migrted (2) and we found out they are working.
İ wonder why there is this delay ? İ have already done migration before but it never took this much time. İ would appreciate your reply.
Thanks

Migrate Users from a child domain to a root domain in different forest

Hello,
it supported to migrate users from child source doman to target root domain?
I established a trust, but i don't see child domain at ADMT installed on target domain DC. Source root domain is visible

You should not be needed to establish a trust as all domains within the same forest already trust each other - are you sure those domains belong to the same forest? You can find out using the following command:
nltest /DOMAIN_TRUSTS
If ADMT dosen't show a partiuclar domain in the dropdown list, you can/have to type the domain name manually.

Migrating users from Directory Server 4.16 to 5.2

Hi, I'm trying to migrate users from an old Directory Server 4.16 and importing them to a new 5.2. I tried using the db2ldif script and it succeded in exporting everything into a single file. After I import that data into the new server I can't see those users with Delegated Administrator even though I can see them in the Directory Server. What am I doing wrong?? I also tried exporting single leaves from the server using the db2ldif but I haven't succeded, do you know of a way of doing it??

You shouldn't need to create a mailbox manually. iMS will do that when it has something to put in it.
I fully agree about locating the users, iDA is a little limited for how it finds the users in the user tree. It expects to find a DC tree for domains, and a tree for users. If all isn't exactly where it looks, it won't find anything.
Messaging Server itself may be less restrictive. . .
Much also depends on where the users came from, and your Messaging setup. iMS is capable of "using" directory entries that are correct for Messaging 4.x, but iDA is not. If you migrated from NMS 4.xx, and didn 't update the schema, then iDA won't find the users. . .

How to migrate users from HUB to Shared Services

Hi,
We are upgrading Essbase from 7.1.6 to 9.3.1. In 7.1.6 we were using Hyperion HUB for provisioning and we are going to use Shared Services with External authentication for the provsioning from now on.
My question is what is the best way of migrating users from Hyperion HUB to Shared Services.
Thanks,
MP

After you copy the SQL Repository across to the new environment and log in with the owner account, you will be required to register the application with Shared Services. After registering with SS it should prompt you to "Migrate Users and Groups" which will do the migration for you.

Lync 2013- 4 FE servers-F5 HLB- migrating users from OCS-WMI error

There are 4 Lync 2013 EE FE's with an F5 HLB. 3 of the FEs are Windows 2012 R2 and one is Windows 2008 (this will be decommissioned).
Access the Lyncadmin/cscp web page works to migrate users from OCS to Lync most of the time. We noticed at times the following error message:
Move-CSLegacyUser: verify that WMI Provider is installed by running OCSWMIBC.MSI. For details, see the inner exception.
So for troubleshooting we would use the <FEname>/cscp to test each server. The 2008 and one of the 2012 servers worked fine. The other 2 2012 servers failed with that same error message.
I looked at lots of articles and made sure that all of the servers had the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\LSA\DisableLoopbackCheck set to 1 as well as putting the Poolname FQDN and LB VIP IP address in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\LSA\MSV1_0 registry
keys. Just the pool FQDN alone was tried as well. All the servers were rebooted one at a time as well after these changes. The Pool FQDN is a DNS entry with the VIP address.
The same user account is being used when logging into the CSCP. Trying the CSCP from any server or client machine and using the <FEname>/cscp fails for the 2 servers.
I have checked the authentication methods in IIS for CSCP internal and have negotiatekerberos then NTLM listed under Windows authentication\challenge.
I am running out of resources and ideas.
Anyone?

Have you confirmed that ocswmibc.msi is installed on all the 2013 Front Ends?

Migrating Users from Unity for Domino

We have two Unity 5.0 servers. One for Domino and one for Exchange (2007). We will soon be ridding ourselves of Domino. When that happens we will want to migrate users from the Unity for Domino server to the Unity for Exchange server. Both Unity servers are in the same VLAN & Subnet and they are both on the same domain.
Is there a way to migrate user accounts from Unity for Domino to Unity for Exchange?

I did consider COBRAS.
http://www.ciscounitytools.com/App_COBRAS.htm
This site mixes terms. It says:
"Export works with Unity 4.0(5), 4.1(x), 4.2(x), 5.0(x), and 7.0(x) with Exchange Unity Connection 1.2(x). No support for Domino based Unity installations is planned."
But it also says:
"NOTE: Exports of Unity systems with Domino as the back end do not support extracting public distribution list membership details. All other data can be extracted, however, including messages. No imports onto Domino based Unity systems are supported and there are no plans to support this moving forward."
Can anyone clarify? I am wondering if what this means is that exporting data from Unity for Domino and importing that data to Unity for Exchange should work, but TAC won't support me.

LDAP authentication in AD (users from other trusted domain)

Hi
I have two domain: my - DOMAINA.LOCAL and other trusted - DOMAINB.LOCAL
I use LDAP authentication in AD for authentication users (AnyConnect).
Now, I need to authenticate few users from other trusted domain (DOMAINB.LOCAL).
I do not want direct connect with the domain contoller in the trusted domain.
My domain controller (DOMAINA.LOCAL), can authenticate users from other trusted domain (if I use username "DOMAINB\userindomainb"), if I try to connect by RDP client to some server (for example, to my domain controller).
But if I try to test aaa-server authentication from ASA
I get error.
I think, I must use username like "DOMAINB\userindomainb" but this not work.
Help me please.
Thanks!
My config:

Hello!
I see in console (debug LDAP):

Org Tech Admin can add user from other org?

We are currently on a trial run with CIAC, and I am testing User Management with a Organization Tech Admin account (OTA).
To my suprise, when adding user and select "existing user", I can see every account currently on Cloud Portal, and even successfully add user from other organization to my orgnization.
Is there anyway so that OTA can see only the users in their own organization?

I've been able to remove the admin role from a site administrator with an OTA.
I know there are issues when you log with an user then logout and relog with another user, CIAC considers that you are still the previous user (I've encountered the issue several times in portlets in the nsapi requests). I don't know if/how those issues are related, but I'd say that logout/login issue were an user has the same rights than the previous users should be fixed.
Changing OTA rights will not change that particular issue.
For the moment, what we've done is create our own servlet for requests to the sql DB, and our own roles for most services.
Let's see what v4 has in store for us.

Migrating Users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Without redirection through exchange 2013.

We have all our users and mailboxes on Exchange 2007 and I have introduced two Exchange 2013 servers in my organization and both have mailbox and CAS server installed on them.
With Exchange 2007 server, I had not modified any of the internal and external url/uri and had stayed with the defaults.
For migration most of the documents are suggesting of changing the default internal URL and Auto Discover Service internal URI values.
In my case, I want to migrate all the users and mailbox (everything that is on Exchange 2007) form 2007 to 2013 and decommission exchange 2007 completely from our organization.
I am in the phase of transferring users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and do not want to change any settings on the existing 2007 servers.
I have created new dns entry mailx.abc.com with two IPs of both exchange 2013 and changed the Outlook Anywhere internal URL on both Exchange 2013 server to mailx.abc.com.
So by doing these, I think all existing clients will still connect to exchange 2007 and after moving their mailbox they will be connect to exchange 2013.
In short I am not redirecting or using 2013 as proxy for 2007 clients and clients whose mailbox is on exchange 2013 will directly connect to 2013 server.
Questions are, Is this the right way to migrate all the users to Exchange 2013?
Will it affect the operation of existing Exchange 2007 server?

Read the below blog on Client Connectivity in Exchange co-existence. There can't be better blog than this on this topic.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
Clients connect to Exchange from Internal-Outlook, External-Outlook, Web & Active Sync.
For Internal the configuration that you have mentioned should work as clients would get Autodiscover information from Active Directory (SCP) and get connected to right server.
However, for external connectivity it makes sense to use External URL on Exchange 2013 servers (keep the Exchange exposed to Internet), configure legacy URL for exchange 2007 and use Exchange 2013 external URL for mailboxes that are Exchange 2007 and Exchange
2013 for standardization.

Migrate users from FND_USER to OID

We are planning to authenticate Oracle apps users against OID and have installed a 9iAS Portal 1.0.2.2.2 environment with 11.5.7 and OID for this purpose.
We need to migrate user information (username and password as a minimum) from FND_USER to OID. Is there a recommended way of doing this? Can the encrypted password in FND_USER be moved directly across to OID?
Any help much appreciated.

If your source and target servers can have access to each other use dipassistant utility to migrate all users with passwords to new server.

Migrating users from one domain to another(Interforest)

Scenario- Two Domains A & B in two different forests.
A - holds exchange server in DMZ and 2 domain controllers in A used by exchange also in DMZ
B holds all users and computers and 2 Domain controllers used for authentication .
Now I want to migrate all users and computers in B domain to A domain using ADMT
My question here is
1. Can I use the DCs used by exchange to authenticate if I migrate users and computers from B to A.
2. If not what is the work around here. I want to build an action plan on this.

After the migration users will be in Domain A. Authentication will happen locally in Domain A using Domain A DCs. Make sure you have correct DNS server (DNS from domain A) for these workstations.
