Migration of accounts....Confused

Hi
I am kinda confused with the skype migration.
I have a windows phone which I have [e-mail removed for privacy and security] as my account setup to my phone. I have an old skype account that has some contacts.
I then have an old hotmail account that has all my msn contacts. Now right now my old skype account is linked to my old hotmail account.
But I want to merge all of them together as right now I only have on my phone my skype account as I can't use my hotmail account as it is not my account setup for my phone.
How can I get everything under [e-mail removed for privacy and security]. It seems I can only have 1 linked account.

You're essentially using 2 separate Microsoft accounts that can't be linked. You'd have to choose one. I would think you could sign in with your older hotmail account on your phone. You can export your Skype contacts off your phone (probably best done with the Windows desktop client), then sign into the newer account and import those contacts. Those contacts would still have to readd you, but that is one way to have everyone in one place.

Migrating linux accounts to OS X 10.5

Hello,
Usually on any Linux/Unix-like OS I would simply copy necessary entries in passwd, group, shadow, etc.. and simply add them to their respective files on the new box.
What's the best way to migrate user accounts from a *nix box to OS X? The hashed password is really all I need to retain, any way to import these into the voodoo of /var/db/shadow?
Thanks for reading,

Try the Unix forum under OS X Technologies. AFAIK, if these are Linux accounts, you can't, but I might be mistaken.

Can I disable (or remove) the "migration administrator" account?

I installed a SBS 2011 server about two years ago - and migrated from an old SBS 2003 server.
In the process of migration, a "migration administrator" account was created. Now, I see it in my list of users and was wondering if I missed a step somewhere that should have deleted (or disabled) this account.
Is it safe to disable?

Its always a good practice to Disable a NON required account. You can read the description of the user account "If Any" . If its an account that is apart from BuiltInAdministrator, go ahead and delete or disable.
Normally in SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 Domain "Administrator" account as it is disabled by default. This is for security reasons as the most common account for hackers to use when launching an attack on your server is the default administrator account
name. If you need the "Administrator" account for some reason, though I don't recommend using it, it is in AD under the Uses OU not the MyBusiness\Users\SBSUsers OU. You will need to enable it, and assign a password.

Best Way To Migrate Local Accounts to new OD Server?

Hello everybody, I'll keep this simple:
I've got about 20 macs that have just joined themselves to my shiny new Open Directory (i.e. I bound each machine through the Directory Utility).
What is the best way to migrate their local accounts to network accounts? Note that almost all of these macs are laptops that will be taken home from time to time. And of course, the less 'interruption' of normalcy, the better.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Evan

I did something similar last year, migrating local accounts to network accounts after binding the machines to AD. I'm not sure how much what I did will differ for your particular case, but maybe this will point you in the right direction. Bear in mind, this sort of laborious, but it works well enough.
In my particular case, the local accounts were named the same as the network accounts so I had to do some sleight of hand with the home folders to make sure nothing got deleted on accident.
Log in as root (you could do this with an admin account, but root makes it much easier.)
Move the local account home folder out of the /Users folder and to the root desktop for safekeeping.
Go to User Account control panel and delete the user account.
Log out of root and log back in as the network user.
Log out of network user and log back in as root.
Delete the new, default home folder in /Users and move the old one back.
Use chown -R username /Users/username/ on the command line to give the new network account ownership of the old home folder.

Problem migrating user account SID

Problem migrating user account SID
I’m trying to migrate user accounts SID from a Windows 2003 domain to a Windows 2008 domain using the command line admt.exe. There is a trust between the 2 domains and I’m able to migrate a user account using admt 3.1 wizard including SID. The wizard asks me for a user account in the source domain with administrative right for the SID migration. In the wizard I use the same credentials as my current session. This works fine!!
But, when I’m using the command line “admt user” in an administrative cmd box i’m not prompted for any credentials in the source domain. My current credentials have the proper right in the source domain so that should not be any problem but admt is not able to migrate the user SID and gives the following error:
ERR2:7615 SID History cannot be updated for xxxxx. You must be an administrator in the source domain
Any ideas ??

I to am seeing this error - running on a Target DC.

New ledger Migration issue: Account contronl on G/L Accounts

Hello
We did the Test validation Service report for the migration. There is an error that I can't understand how to solve it.
The purpose:
The classification of G/L accounts for document splitting is based on the assumption that, for example, a reconciliation account is defined as such in all company codes that uses the same chart of accounts. This check is only relevant if document splitting is used.
Issue
You made an item category assignement for a tax account or a reconciliation account for assets, liabilities, receivables, or material stock, and selected the "override" option, which means that your setting defines the behavior of the document splitting. These types of accounts are already categorized internally. Customizing takes place at chart of accounts level. This requires identical uses of accounts in each affected company code. This is note the case in at least one of the types of accounts mentionned.
The tables gave to us is a list of accounts. There account are present into the table T074 Special G/L Transaction.
COA Account SAP Linetype User Linetype Override flag
PCOG 2880 0000 03000 03100 X
I can't understand how to solve this trouble, someone know the solution about it ?
Best regards,
Philippe

Hi,
Only service type PO you may assign G/L Account. For item type, you have to change item G/L account determination. It cannot be done through document.
Thanks,
Gordon

After migrating an account to my MacBook Air, it still has its old settings and won't let me find the Applications folder - how do I fix this?

So I just migrated (using the Assistant) my Admin account from my old Powerbook G4 to my MacBook Air (used) , but now it's disregarding its new Trackpad settings (such as scrolling and double finger tapping, etc.) It also won't let me find my Applications folder (I used Finder), whereas the Admin account can, but see back on my old laptop I this account was an Admin. I feel like there's something written that's telling it to behave like it did on the Powerbook. I don't know - me no professional, yo, that's why I'm here. NOTE: Before I migrated, I'd started using the Admin account on here; for example, I signed in with my appleid since I figured the accounts could be merged - guess not. A family member's been helping me, but I wanted feedback from the forum.
Thanks, guys!

What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

Migrating user account on same computer?

I thought I'd be able to find the answer to this just by searching the forum, but everything related to what I wish to do seems to be talked about in terms of one computer to another. However I wish to migrate from one account on my computer to a fresh one on the same computer, which seems like it would be simple, but I've been unable to figure it out on my own.
The background is this: my G5 being four years old, my main user account that I have been using all this time has become a bit "sluggish." I created a new account and there is a marked difference between their responsiveness, both system-wide and on-line, so instead of troubleshooting what is bogging down the old account I thought I would just migrate over to the new one. Also, I was running the old account as admin, which I understand is not advisable, so I figured I would keep the old account for admin purposes while performing my day-to-day activities in the new account.
I was surprised to find that there is no way for me to easily access all my files on my old account from my new account (read and write) simply by changing a global permission. This would have been the "ideal" way for me to make this adjustment, as it really wouldn't matter which of these two accounts I logged in from, everything would be the same. Am I missing something here?
Barring a solution to that, I don't necessarily mind "starting fresh" and basically treating the accounts as separate computers. Address Book and iCal should be easy enough to export from the old account and import into the new account. Mail on my old account has grown huge (4GB) so I was planning to archive anyway with 3rd party software and start from scratch. The files I'm currently working on I will copy over, and then I guess anything prior that I need to refer to in the future I will just have to log in to the old account and copy over piecemeal. (Is there another way, other than simply copying 100% of my files from the get-go?)
If I'm understanding all of the above correctly, my only concerns are:
1) Applications. When I launch 3rd party apps that require registration from the new account, some seem to be having some issues. Would copying the "Application Support" folder from my old account solve this, or will I only be able to use these apps from one account on my computer at a time?
2) iTunes, specifically as regards my iPhone. Will I need to log into my old account each time I wish to sync with my iPhone? Is there any way that by instead syncing with the new account that I can mess things up and cause my phone or my apps to be de-authorized?
Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can give here. I hope I am not going about all this backwards and should rather just be trying to "clean up" the old account rather than make a new one to "mimic" it?
Thank you,
Josh

I recommend making a full backup of your system before trying this.
read the above post of mine for finding out the short user name of your second account and group name of your first account.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Net Info Manager
You can use the net info manager to add a user to the group. although I think the single command is easier to use. You can copy the first portion into terminal and type in the variable and information.
Here is the Net Info Manager way:
in the middle column click on groups. this will bring out the list of groups. Scroll down to your group from your first userid and click on at.
Click on the lot on the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Fill in your administrator password.
Click on the down triangle for the list of groups.
Click on edit: add
fill in your group name.
Mac OS X uses Unix permissions.
You will need to use BatChmod to change the permissions. Mac OS X doesn't let you change the permission to let others look in directories -- this is called the execution permission. The picture directory doesn't let others look at its files. You need to change this. You need to set the read-only and the execution permissions. And change it on group and other/everyone.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3180927160_fabd018171.jpg?v=0!
Sometimes things are not updated as you would expect. I noticed that the Red minus bar on a folder doesn't go way when I changed the permissions. I had to log off the user. You may want to be boot after changing the execution permission. It shouldn't be necessary.
"BatChmod is a Cocoa utility for manipulating file and folder privileges in Mac OS X. It allows the manipulation of ownership as well as the privileges associated to the Owner, Group or others."

You can use the get info command to find out file permissions and make the changes.
Click on the file of interest. Press command i (⌘-i)
Each file has an owning user and a group of users that are allowed to access the file. Also, there is a another access for all users. The owning user is the UID field. The group of users is the GID.
You could add yourself to your first Group. This would allow you to look at any file your wife owns.
The NetInfo Manager application allows you to make this change.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager
In the middle column is the function. Pick users in the middle column then select the user of interest in the right column. Find out what group you and your wife are in.
Now go back to the middle column and pick the Group. Now pick your wife's group. Now add your group to your wife's group. To add an item to a group, you need to look up and find the pulldown called directory > insert value.

Migrated User Account Keyboard Problem AFTER Login

I have a brand-new MacBookPro (with multi-touch trackpad) that came with Leopard preinstalled. When I first started up the new computer, I set up a new administrator user account first. Then I used Migration Assistant to migrate my primary user account from my PowerBook G4, which is running the latest version of Tiger. I can log into my old user account with the same password I have always used, and everything looks fine--my old desktop is there, my Mail, iCal and iTunes settings all look great, etc.--but I can't use the keyboard. I can use the mouse to click on menus; the keys for the volume and backlight controls work, and some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard work (which seems particularly weird), but I can't do anything else with the keyboard. When I log out of the account and try to go back to the new admin account, the keyboard no longer works at all until I reboot. If I go directly into the new admin account, the keyboard is fine; it only starts locking up AFTER I log into my old user account. I have not had any keyboard problems with any other user accounts that I have created from scratch on the MacBookPro, nor have I had problems with the other user accounts I migrated from the PowerBook. After consulting with an Apple rep on the phone, I have tried the following things:
1. deleting my migrated keychain file on the problem user account and letting it make a new login keychain;
2. deleting the original default keychain on the PowerBook and re-running the Migration Assistant;
3. deleting the problem user on the MacBookPro using the option of creating a disk image, and then creating an empty file in the Users folder with the same name as the problem user account and then dragging the files from the disk image into the folder, and then creating a new version of the user account with the same name, password, etc.;
4. running Disk Utility to fix permissions (multiple times);
5. I have completely erased and reinstalled the system on the MacBookPro using the install DVDs twice. The first time, I ran Migration Assistant immediately after the "Welcome," and the second time I set up a new administrator account first and then ran Migration Assistant.
6. I have also tried the steps outlined in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306840.
7. I have tried moving my user files over by hand but then I have a ton of permission problems and I was having trouble getting my Mail settings/mailboxes to move over properly. I've spent hours and hours on this.
I have NEVER had so much trouble upgrading to a new computer or a new OS in all the years I've owned Macs! What am I missing???

Well...I'm not sure which of the following fixed my problem, but once I realized it was something to do with the numeric keypad keys, I went into both the Keyboard & Mouse preferences and the Universal Access preferences and I made sure that I set everything back to the default settings. I suspect that going to Keyboard&Mouse-->Keyboard Shortcuts and clicking on "Restore Defaults" is what did the trick. So far, so good. I hope this helps somebody else; I couldn't find anything else anywhere about this somewhat quirky problem.

I can't successfully migrate an account from my backup disk.

My mac's hard disk broke down. Therefore, I went to the apple store and they gave me a new hard disk. Then, I went home and tried to migrate all of my previous account's data onto my new hard disk using migration assistant.. One account succeeded, but the other account failed.
It seems that all of the files on that account don't give me permission to view it. I have never changed the permission settings on that account, so can anyone please help me?

I understand its not iCloud that its a symbol im just not explaining myself very well. But that symbol doesn't really matter. What matters is I keep downloading or I should say restoring the same files because it keep coming back with the same 1 next to it letting me know I still had the bonus pool in the game and I'm trying to start completely from the beginning with the app. I have talked with the developer and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is either. They told me to do all the same things Ive been told here and it just won't load. I dont know if there is an update for it but the app store doesnt show one and yes the install always complete. The app doesn't crash because it won't load. It didn't crash when I played it last either. When I went back to open it it just wouldn't load. The blueshell logo comes up then it goes back to the normal screen. I just feel like I keep restoring this app instead of downloading it fresh. And i deleted it from the backup or so it says. The reason I believe that is restoring it is because the app logo I have is black red and gold and the new app logo for this game is gold and black but that one never shows up in the new download. I have friends with this app and it has never done that before to them. But I don't understand why this app can't be somehow erased completely from the history if I want it to be. That's what make me believe its keeping some small .exe file along with it.

Migrated Mail Account doesn't work

Last week I used Migration Assistant to move everything from a 10.5 MBPro to a shiny new 10.6 MBPro. Just about everything is working except one of my email accounts. In its previous incarnation it successfully connected to an Exchange server using POP over SSL. Now it doesn't work. Nothing has changed at the server end - I can still use the same settings to access it from a Windows machine.
Mail doesn't report any errors, so I watched the conversation with Wireshark. The Mac side closes the connection after sending a TLSv1 encryption alert, code 21, which is an encryption error. When I look at the X.509 cert sent by the server, it has, according to Wireshark, the "not before" field set to Aug 6th 2011, and the "not after" field set to Aug 8th 2010. Would this be enough to produce encryption errors? Is the encryption mechanism more sensitive on Snow Leopard than on Leopard?
AK

Update - I was misinterpreting the certificate dates. The "not before" is in fact 11/08/2006, and the "not after" is 10/08/2008, so it is not a date conflict issue, just a completely out-of-date issue (that's August, not October, for those that read their dates differently).
I ran Thunderbird, and it pops a dialog box to ask if it is OK to use the expired cert, and will then successfully retrieve Mail from the server.
Why won't Mail do it?

Help! How to migrate local account settings to domain account in Windows 8.1 Pro

All kinds of answers to this question come up for Windows 7 (even though I specify Windows 8.1 Pro)
Anyway, have a laptop originally with Win 8.1 and a local account created. Upgraded to Win 8.1 Pro and logged in as domain user. How can I copy all the settings I had as a local account to my domain account? Surely SOMEONE has found a way
to do this?

Hi,
You can use USMT to achive your goals. However, I doubt whether you would encounter some problem, as domain controller would set some restricted settings and some policy of your local account won't be applied.

HT2518 I cannot log into transferred migrated information account

I have migrated information from my PC to my new mac by use of the Windows Migration Assistant.
It created a new account for all my migrated information and I cannot log into it. It prompts me to change the password because it is expired and then prompts me to give my old password for the account before entering a new one. However, I have no idea what the "old" password would be. I have tried everything - including the old password from my account on my PC and my password from my account now on my mac and nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?
Note: I am completely new to the mac so please excuse me if this is something obvious.

I don't do Windoze, but understand that you need to log out, then you'll get a prompt to establish a pasword for the new account.

Migrated sub account no access

I tried to migrate a sub account to BT Mail and now I am unable to access via webmail or any email clients.
When trying to log in with webmail I see 1 of 2 messages:
1) username or password not recognised.
Or
2) account is locked.
Now as part of the migration a BT ID should have been created but this clearly has not as I am unable to log into it as my details are not recognised!
This also means that I cannot try & reset the password as the provided link takes to me to BT Yahoo.
Can anyone provide me some suggestions to try and get this account working again.

Thanks for the info I have tried following your suggestion of linking it to my BT ID but the password is not recoginised,. This was changed as part of the BT ID process last night so something must have gine wriong with it at that point also the original password is not recognised either. Just before the error message appears saying 'Incorrect password please try again' a green tick is shown to the side of the password box.
The other problem if I try and use the forgotten password option for that sub account that to errors with username not found!!
Below is a screen grab of my email accounts the first 3 are linked to my BT ID the other are not. Just to clrify where the sub account lies.
