Moving users programmatically

I need to move an entire postoffice of users (about 1600) from one PO to
another. Obviously the best way to do this is programmatically. In the
past I have found that moving a user that is currently logged in causes
a minor disruption to the uesr. Is their a way to determine whether or
not a user is currently logged in using the Admin API? I didn't see
anything in the doc, but wanted to ask the minds to to be sure.
-thanks,

There is nothing in the admin object API which will do this. It might be
possible from the object API - I'm not sufficiently familiar with that to
know either way.
BTW I have a program for moving users en masse if you dont want to reinvent
the wheel - see gwmove at www.jrbsoftware.com.

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.

Amy

Change display language according to the user programmatically

How to change the site displaying language according to the user ? Let say I've drop-down to select language in a web page according to that whole site display language change and also user's language in user profile need to change. How to do that in using
server object model programmatically.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display language according to the user.
First, we can find out the current culture of the logged in user based on
LCID.
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID
Then you can set the language based on the LCID.

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..

Error after moving user to another organiz.l unit (Edir)

I am moving users to another org. units.
For 2 users, i keeep seeing the following error in /var/log/datasync/connectors/default.pipeline1.mobility-AppInterface.log:
ERROR [Device_Thread-29] [sync:252] [userID:cn=**,ou=**,o=**] [eventID:] [objectID:] [Sync] Fatal - unable to find folder object for folderId = 2
Any idea?

If you are moving users around OUs/Orgs then you will need to remove them from the connector, wait for them to vanish, move user in eDirectory, re-add to connector. As far as I'm aware this is a limitation in all Datasync connectors that link to eDirectory.

Active Directory Migration Tool Moving Users before groups?

How are permissions to resources granted? By user or by group?
It's been so long I can't actually remember, but I think we moved users and groups together.
The SIDs will change if things are moving to a new domain. But the migration tool handles that for you.

What are the draw backs of migration users before groups in a interdomain migration? if any

Adding users programmatically to WLS 10

I've blogged a little about it [url http://internna.blogspot.com/2007/04/create-users-programmatically-in.html]here. Hope it helps!

Hi ,
Dont add the weblogic.jar file in your application explicitly then check the error you get,and also dont specify the location of the class in your application.
Let me know if you face any errors after the above suggestions.

Creation of bulk of users programmatically

I Am in the processing of writing a procedure to load a bulk of users inside the portal 3.0.9.
As I understand from checking the discussion forum that I Should use the following procedures :
WWSSO_LS_PRIVATE.LS_CREATE_USER to create an account on the Login Server
and
WWSEC_API.ADD_PORTAL_USER TO CREATE A USER PROFILE ON PORTAL30.
mY QUESTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
1 - It is presumed that the wwsec_person$ table will be affected by these procedure, isn't it?
2 - Does the number of rows should match in the wwsec_person$ table in the portal30 and portal30_sso?
3 - If I want to grant priviliges to the news users programmatically, I should use the following procedure wwsec_api.add_user_to_list, isn't it?
4 - How can I define the number and type of mandatory parameters required by each procedure?
Regards

Did you find success in your attempt to bulk load users into
Portal?
Please share your knowledge....

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,

Moved users to new message store Unity Connection

We recently moved users to a new messwage store on exchange. These users can no longer receive their voice mail in outlook. Everyone else can. What is the issue here?
Unity Connection
8.5.1.10000-206
Exchange 2003

You may need to check the Unified Messaging profile setup in Unity to ensure it still has access into the new store. In 2003, it uses WebDav, so if the account you are using is not setup to use WebDav on the new store, Unity can not deliver nor retrive information from this new store. Also note, there is some sort of odd requirement with Microsoft and WebDav.. the account that uses WebDav must have a mailbox setup and at least one message sent and received to it. (Or just logged into at least once for it to be active). I have no idea why, but its documented at MS and seemed to fix a problem for me during a prior install with CUC and 2003 Exchange

Relocating LDAP user programmatically

Is there an API to relocate a user programmatically, in much the same way as ldapmoddn ?

IMS52 - Moving Users Between Partitions

Hello,
We are on
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built Nov 18 2005)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built 10:35:58, Nov 18 2005)
I understand this is going off of maintenance, but we are tied to this version
based on the portal we are using.
Would like to verify a procedure I've been using to
move users from one partition to another. Over the past year,
I've moved roughly 5000 accts (out of about 57K) using the "mboxutil -r"
command. Out of the 5000, a handful have had issues with 'disappearing'
INBOX - all have been using the MS Outlook mail client.
I asked our portal software support about this and they said this method
was not supported while the user was still had a imap session going and that
mailbox corruption could occur. They pointed me to #1 on page 642 of the
MS Admin Guide - sure enough, it's there and I don't know why I never really
noticed that first part. I was hoping to use this method to move users from
our old SAN to a new one, with the mboxutil running all during the day/night.
So, with this information, I'll probably just move users during the wee hours,
letting them know ahead of time to not use their account during those hours.
1) Is there anything else I should know about mboxutil rename? To this date,
it's worked well, with the exception of the Outlook email clients.
2) I came accross the MoveUser command, but that seems more for moving
to another server. However, it sounds like this can be done while the user
is logged on. Is this true?
Would appreciate your comments.
Thank you,
Keith

1) Is there anything else I should know about mboxutil rename? To this date,

There is an existing RFE (request for enhancement) to have the user automatically disconnected from IMAP when a move (mboxutil -r) is performed (RFE #6499681). MS6.3 already provides the ability to disconnect individual IMAP connections (imsconnutil -k) so this would combine the two operations.
2) I came accross the MoveUser command, but that seems more for moving
to another server. However, it sounds like this can be done while the user
is logged on. Is this true?As you say this utility is more for moving users across systems which is a much different operation as the underlying store database doesn't change as it does during a mboxutil -r operation. The idea is that the move can be performed online (the user see's the 'old' account) and when they reconnect they will be connected to the 'new' account.

Shane.

Moving users between partitions

I have "User A" on "Partition 1" and "User B" on "Partition 2". Each partition is a startup partition, so the Applications and other root-level folders have some minor differences.
I want to move both Users to "Partition 3" and rename "User B" to "User C". (If possible, I'd like to merge the Applications folders.)
How should that be done?
Thanks,
humanengr

IMO it's a bad idea to share users between different installs if you use both of them. this can create conflicts and confuse the system. what's your reason for doing this? and you definitely should not merge Applications.
that said, if you use just one system, moving user's home directories to a different partition is fairly straightforward. log in as the user in question, copy its home folder to a different partition. then go to system preferences->accounts. unlock the lock, control-click on your user and choose 'advanced options". in the popup enter the new location for the home directory. then log out/in. you should be now using the new home directory and you can delete the old one.
see this link about renaming your user.

Can only submit task to Custom destination. Caused by moved Users folder?

I recently installed my Final Cut Studio 2 on a new Mac Pro. We've installed the system with multiple users.
Everything works fine except Compressor. We were not able to submit any rendering tasks. After checking the batch monitor I noticed some errors being thrown. It looked like a permissions problem.
After creating a Custom Destination that points explicitly to some folder in the user's home folder, and using that as the default target destination, compressor submits without problems.
Is it possible that the problem is caused by moving the Users home folder to another disk? The system disk is 128Gb SSD. I didn't want my data files to be on that system disk, so I moved them to a RAID.
Any idea on how I can solve this?

If the RAID is connected directly to your workstation, you should be able to Ignore Ownership on that volume. (Look in the info window in the Finder)
It is recommended to use an external drive/RAID for scratch disks and exporting destinations.
