Moving user from G5 to MBP

I want to move my wife's user account from the G5 to my MBP. I created her account with the same name on the MBP, but then realized I probably can't just copy her original folders over to the MBP and drop them accordingly into the MBP folders.
The MBP is not a new machine and already has another user's account on it so I don't want to do the whole Tiger Setup Asst. thing. The main thing I want her to be able to access on the new machine is her Mail folder (in Library). Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Lee, welcome, just log into you wife’s new Account and open Mail. You should be greeted by the new Account setup preferences. If not open Mail then go to Mail/Preferences and fill in the appropriate info. All settings should be exactly as they are on the original account. If these are set correctly then she should be able to open her mail account from the Mac Pro.
This should also create a folder for her mail account in the Users/username/Mail folder (example, [email protected]). And yes you can transfer any files from the old folder on the G5 (example, [email protected]) to the new folder on the Mac Pro.

  • Moving users from One Group to another

    Hi Guys,
    I am looking for a script which will allow me to move users from One ADGroup to another ADGroup. I have checked ther scripts which are currently present. However, none of them if fixing my issue.
    Details:
    I have Different locations and users moves from one location to another location and same thing happens as they gets moved from one Tower to another Tower (Like From TOWER A to Tower B). Also users gets promoted and most of the time they are in bulk.We also
    have 2 domains one is parent and another is child domain.
    So, I hope above information is making sense and also I Completely new to PS so after going to lot of scripts i asking for help on this. I hope I can gets this sorted out as soon as possible as my work is piling up.

    You are asking a lot of questions about AD.  Do you know how to do this in AD with D tools?
    There is no magic way to guess at what you need. I recommend that you start by learning AD and PowerShell.  There are good resources here:

  • Updating Phone Directory after moving users from default "users" folder

    After moving any users from the default "users" folder in AD to a new OU the phone system no longer shows them in the Directory. How could I update the phone system after making changes to the AD structure?

    You need to re-run the AD plugin.
    And point User Search base to that new OU.

  • Moving users from one machine to another

    I am trying to move users from a Solaris 2.6 box to a new Solaris 9 box. I tried moving /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/group to the new box, but when I try to login I get the following error in /var/adm/messages
    Mar 17 17:10:15 host.name sshd[1573]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Could not get shadow information for NOUSER
    I also tried running pwconv to make a new shadow file from the passwd file.. no good.
    How do I move these users to this new machine?

    You shouldn't really have overwritten the whole passwd / shadow / group files - did you back them up first?
    If so, reinstate them and then just copy the entries you require.
    You'll also need the home directories for each user - if they're all in the same place, eg /export/home then you could tar it up and copy it over....
    tar cvf /tmp/home.tar /export/home
    compress /tmp/home.tar
    copy /tmp/home.tar.Z to new box and untar it.

  • Moving Users from one server to another

    Is it possible to move my network users from one Xserve to another? I know this used to be possible to do with NetInfo, but I haven't heard of anything like this using Ldap.

    I used Open Directory Archive/Restore in Server Admin to carry over my ldap users through a reinstall. Their UIDs, groups, passwords, etc. all came across. The home directories were on a different volume and everything basically worked after the reinstall.

  • Moving user from POP to IMAP

    Hello
    I'm switching all of my mail users from POP to IMAP. In most cases, I set up their IMAP setting in there mail client. Then I drag there POP messages (stored on their local machines) to the IMAP account. That has worked for most users. I have three users with a lot of local mail messages - about 10 gb. When I try to drag the mail folder over in Apple Mail, it starts to copy them. After a while, it just stops. The messages never get over to the IMAP server. (Their names are on the door, so I can't tell them to trim down their messages.)
    My next thought was to convert the messages from Mail.app, copy them into the mailstore on the IMAP server, then reconstruct the mailbox. I have an app, Emailchemy, that converts Mail.app to following formats:
    RFC-2822 mailboxes ("mbox" format or "UNIX-style")
    Folders of individual RFC-2822 email files (.txt or .eml files)
    Comma-separated value files (.csv files)
    Maildir (qmail)
    Maildir++ (Courier IMAP)
    In a test account, I'v tried converting a single message to RFC-2822 format. After I reconstruct the mailbox, I see the header info, but the body of the message is blank.
    Is there something that I am missing? Is there a better way to move those messages.
    Thanks,

    I've switched many users from Eudora - pop and Mail - pop to imap.
    it's very easy. - just change the client setting.
    we chose Thunderbird because it worked the same on both PC and MAC, and came with just enough options to make everyone happy.
    if all the users are set to either pop/imap combo then only the clients have to make any significant changes.
    having the pop option is great if you want your users to flush their mailbox and keep a local copy while you do updates.
    I frown upon alternate imap boxes other than defaults. if the user needs more mailboxes they can create them on their local machine. That way we don't have to deal with long reconstructs for an individual user. -lots of small files in those maildirs.

  • [ESSO issue] Moving user from Org Unit

    hi all,
    i've met an issue at a customer site.
    eSSO has been deployed, synchronisation done with ESSO eDirectory.
    Users are now using it but recently some users have moved from an OU to another (something that happens frequently everywhere).
    The problem is that ESSO seems to keep the initial user location in the Current User registry and seems to always want to use this entry even though authentication fails (since user is not at the same ldap location).
    So authentication failed and users get an "Failed To Connect To Directroy".
    We don't want to change directly the registry since we think it's not really nioce and shouldn't be done.
    Is there something that must be setup to search again in the ldap structure to find when authentication with synchronizer fails ?
    ps : it's not a problem with the location parameter. It's pointing at the ldap root entry.
    thanks for the help
    -regards.

    I haven't come across the issue myself but I think if you move a user, you need to create a 'User Pointer' SSOLocater object that points the agent to where you have moved the user to.
    Good luck.

  • Moving users from one server to another using Shared Services

    How do you migrate users and groups from one server to another from Hyperion Shared Services in version 9.3.1?
    When users were provisioned from EAS on version 7.x we could use Migration Utility but now since users are provisioned using Shared Services, what is the approach to be followed?

    Someone will probably give you a real-world example of how to do it, but to get you started you may want to review the Hyperion Security Administration guide, section "Migrating Native Directory" which discusses that you need to first install the Import/Export Utility on your Shared Services server, then create an export file, then go to your target Shared Services Server and long story short, import it.

  • Moving user from OU to OU with modrdn fails

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to implement the followin scenario:
    A user is created in the Actice Directory when the DN is as follows:
    DN=CN=%MSKEYVALUE%,OU=%DEPARTMENT%,%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT%
    Now I want to implement a pass that moves the user if his department changed.
    I tried doing so with the modrdn changetype, but it just wouldn't budge.
    I created a job with the following passes:
    From LDAP (to a table in the IDS):
    objectGUID objectGUID
    sAMAccountname sAMAccountname
    To IDS
    MSKEYVALUE %sAMAccountname%
    AD_GUID %objectGUID%
    To LDAP
    DN <GUID=%AD_GUID%>
    changetype modrdn
    newdn CN=%MSKEYVALUE%
    deleteoldrdn 1
    newsuperior OU=%DEPARTMENT%,%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT%
    The first 2 passes work fine, when it comes to the thirs, I get the following error:
    putNextEntry failed storing&lt;GUID=To v?M??Y??)??&gt+
    Now if I specify the full DN of the user like so:
    DN CN=%MSKEYVALUE%,OU=%DEPARTMENT%,%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT%
    putNextEntry failed storingCN=P0003312,OU=1000,OU=IDM,DC=QANESS,DC=COM
    I tried encoding the GUID in the first pass to HEX and removing the prefix, but no difference. What is this putNextEntry function and why does it fail?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric Labiner

    Ok, so paying even closer attention to spelling does help:
    dn CN=User01
    changetype modRDN
    newRDN CN=User01

  • Userdata restore after moving users to new pool

    Hi
    I recently moved users from one Lync standard pool to another but users have lost all there contacts.
    I never realised you needed to back them first before the moved users, is this now lost or can i get it back somehow?

    Hi tonysolinas,
    If you select Force, the user account is moved, but any associated user data is deleted (for example, conferences that the user has scheduled). If you do not select it, both the account and
    the associated data are moved.
    For more details,

  • Moving user profiles from Server 2012 with RDS services to User profile disks Server 2012R2

    Hello i have a question about moving my C:\users profiles.
    My current settings on the servers are:
    AD-Server 2012
    SQL-Server 2012
    TS- server with RDS roles (RDwebacces, RDs broker, RD session host) 2012
    everything about user profiles is now in C:\Users
    My new settings for the server will be:
    AD-ActiveDirectory - server
    SQL-Server
    TS1- RDS (RDwebacces, broker, RDS server group management) 2012R2 (I have enabeld userProfileDisks to Filesistem server)
    TS2- RDS(Session host) load balance 2012R2
    TS3- RDS (Session host) load balance 2012
    FileSistem - server ( here i will have on E: partition the new functionality UserProfileDisks) 2012R2
    So is there a way to move profiles from TS - C:\Users to FileSistem - E:\UserProfileDisks
    I am new to this so any idea wil be helpful.

    Hi,
    If the UPD is configured on the server which holds existing user profiles, just select the option:
    store all user settings and data inside the profile disk.
    Since you are moving user profiles between different servers, then user profile contents need to be migrated manually.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • Moving User's Home Directory from one Xserve to another

    Does anyone know the procedure for moving users (Home Directory) from one server to another?
    Is there an application that can do this?
    Xserve G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I see your problem and I think I will soon have the same one.
    I suppose one option would be to delete out the .plist. Then when the user logs in the server should recreate it. If the user had customized it they would of course lose any information.
    You could also setup a loginhook that would just run the needed defaults write... and update them as needed. Actually I think that would be the easiest option. The only down side would be making sure every use logs in once before you remove the script.
    Hmm I guess another option would be a script that loops through all the users accounts and runs the command as the user. sudo -u usershortname defaults... But I am not sure if this would have to be done on the server it self or if it could be done through a client.
    Sorry for the rambling but I am trying to come up with an answer..

  • Impact of moving a user from one organisational unit to another.

    Hi
    my system description :
    extended classic
    srm 5.00
    I am new to srm and i would have some questions about the impact of moving a user from one organisational unit to another.
    The senario is that:
    I have moved a user from organisational unit X  to Y lets say different purchasing organisation
    The user had PO created in organisational unit X waiting for goods receipt but even if he is now in organisational unit Y he can still create the good receipt for the PO created in organisational unit X .
    Is it ok?
    Futhermore not only can he create good receipt but the good receipt take the cost center assigned in organisational unit Y whereas the PO has the cost center of organisation X.
    I believe that is how the confirmation works in SRM. However is there a way for it to take  account assignment from the PO instead of where the user is situated in the org hierarchy when doing confirmation.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answers
    Maybe i should explain how the user was moved.
    I did not used users_gen because i didn't want the user's partner ID to be changed.  If the partner ID is changed then the user would not  be able to access PO from old Organisation Unit. (can somebody confirm this please)
    I did right click on the wanted Organisation Unit then assign the user.  The problem is that the relationship between the user partner ID and the new organisation unit was not maintained and the user could not create shopping cart in the new organisation unit. 
    To solve this issue oss note 1041701 was implemented and the issue was solved.
    But before the the implementation of oss note  1041701, if the user had open items from old organisational unit he could not access PO thus could not confirm goods receipt when moved in new organisation unit.
    Now this is possible he can confirm goods from old unit but the confirmation is done using cost centre of user instead of the cost centre of the PO.
    Jagadish you said that the confirmation must be done using PO accounting details not the user attributes.  Then i think i have a problem in my system.

    yannick.

  • Lost bookmarks, cookies and history when I moved the Folder 'Users' from the C disk to D disk. What can I do to retrieve them intact?

    Lost bookmarks, cookies and history when I moved the Folder 'Users' from the C disk to D disk. What can I do to retrieve them intact?

    Hi voyant
    I would put the Users folder back... moving it will cause a lot of issues with applications.
    Instead you can just copy individual files/folders from C:\Users\your_username\Documents,Pictures,Music.... to your D drive to save space on C.
