Need help migrating OD users and user data

I need some advise.
I have OD user accounts, more precisely NetHomeAccounts, and the users home folders reside on a 1TB RAID. The RAID is full. No surprise, new that would happen.
I've acquired a 12TB RAID that i plan to move the home folders too.
I also want to consolidate two servers into one. I believe I can use migration assistant to move the OD acounts from one server to another.
my question is about the user data i need to move between two RAIDs...
should I use rsyc to move the NetAccount Home folders from the full RAID to the new 12TB RAID?
- will the accounts migrated from server A to server B recognize there old home folder that is now hosted on a new 12TB RAID? will i run into permission errors?
please advise. Thank You.

There are serveral ways you can do this, and would depend very much on how you have set things up, although I feel the simplest would simply to shut your file sharing services down, clone the old RAID volume to the new RAID volume, modify/recreate your Users file sharing volume to point to the new RAID drive (so there's no need to modify OD records) and start your file sharing services again.
Another way would be to use the ditto (or rsync) command in Terminal to do the copy process if you aren't wanting to more the entire contents of a volume. Ultimately if your OD user records aren't being changed then user IDs, and hence permissions, should remain constant.
Without know exactly what is where and how things are set up it's hard to know exactly what the preferred route would be.

I need help migrating domain user profiles in a refresh scenario using hardlinks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a TS that will capture all of the domain users and their settings from a machine. Then refresh it with a new O/S and restore the data.
I don't want to use a state migration point and I would prefer to save the data to the machine.
I am using a MDT TS with the standard TS steps.
There are two sections to USMT.
Online USMT
Offline USMT
I have set the Online USMT to capture locally by using hardlinks instead of copying files. But I read that this doesn't work unless you set the
OSDStateStorePath variable to a value. In my example I would need that to be a local folder on the machine. Does the folder have to exist on the machine?
There is also a condition that has been set on the Restore User State step.
OSDStateStorePath exists
If any of the conditions are true
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT exists
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT3 exists
I would like to get this working.
Thanks

HT201250 I am very frustrated. New to iMac products. Just bought a 27" iMac two days ago. Received no manual, no booklet with ID registration number, etc. Need help migrating PC to iMac. How do I get in touch?

Need help migrating pc to imac. Do not have manual. Trying to get infornation online, but, cannot get an answer.
I have downloaded pc migration assistant to pc windows 8 pro. Was able to get imac to finally give me "the number"
Did the same with pc received number once, not same as imac. Pop up window with info dissappers and cannot recover
What am I doing wrong? Paid extra for extended support package and it took hours to finally get it registered and approved.
However, no help. Yikes, I feel like a make another great mistake!

First: If you purchased AppleCare you should call back at 1-800-APL-CARE and ask for further assistance. You'll want to learn how to retrieve your operating system version and your IMac's serial number as you'll need these for when you call AppleCare:
Click on the Black Apple in the top left hand corner of your Imac's physical monitor
Click on About this Mac from the drop down menu
Below the silver Apple and "OS X" it will say "Version 10.x.x" (If this number is not 10.8.4, run Software Update by hitting the button marked "Software Update")
Click on this number twice in a row. This is your machine's serial number. (zeros can be used; the letter "O" is never used).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349 for details how to find serial numbers on Apple products
If you have an Apple ID (you can create one at appleid.apple.com), you can login to supportprofile.apple.com, register an Apple product, and sign up for VoicePass, which, if you give your product a name e.g. Maria's Imac, you can speak that over the phone and skip having to give the serial number when you call.
If you have an Apple ID, you can also call AppleCare and ask them to activate VoicePass.
This is the link for your tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP667
This is the link for your quick start guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
This is the link for important product information: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
Second: this is an educated guess: Your new Imac and your PC need to be either on the same wifi network or you need to connect them physically with an Ethernet cable (available at Radio Shack, Wal Mart, etc). My guess is that they are not, and so your IMac and PC are not talking to each other. That might be why you are seeing a different code on the PC.
Time Machine would not be relevant to your issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 is the link to relevant instructions, however it left out some housekeeping you should do on your Imac before you begin a migration
Run Software Update on the IMac to confirm that the latest updates are installed.
On the IMac, make sure that you have the latest versions of any third-party software.
On the source Mac, open System Preferences, click Sharing, and make sure there is a name in the Computer Name field.
Do not let either computer go to sleep while you are attempting to migrate. To disable sleep on the IMac
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
Choose Energy Saver from the View menu.
Adjust the "Computer sleep:" slider to Never. (Change this back after the migration is done).
You can adjust "Display Sleep" to a few minutes - this won't affect the migration
Uncheck the box if checked next to "Put Hard Disks to sleep when possible"
I don't know Windows 8 but this link looks promising as to how to disable sleep: http://techmell.net/how-to/disable-enable-sleep-mode-hibernate-windows-8/
Once you've done this, either connect both Mac and PC to the same wifi network and surf the web with each to confirm that connection is working - or connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable.
Then relaunch Migration Assistant on your Imac and your PC, and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 starting with your IMac, or call AppleCare back.
Understand that if you have further issues, you'll need to help AppleCare help you by:
walking them through the steps you've taken in Migration Assistant
letting them guide you as they isolate the issue to either:
The Imac's software
The IMac's hardware
The PC's software
The PC's hardware
Firewall settings (maybe - especially if 3rd party firewalls are installed)
The wifi connection, if used
The ethernet connection, if used
I think the issue is likely what I guessed, or it's a software issue.
To learn more about your new Mac, I recommend this link: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
And this book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0789749890
I am a technical support professional who troubleshoots Macs all day long. I do this for a living. The book above is the most accurate, and easy to understand book I've seen with respect to using Mountain Lion and its various applications. It's for a MacBook but the focus is on the software which is why I recommend it.
Don't feel like you have to rush to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. In fact, you should always confirm both all the hardware and software you use is compatible with any new operating system before you upgrade. And ask yourself: "why do I need it now?" Because it's new is not a good answer.
In the future, specifying any troubleshooting others have done will help those on these boards help you. Also, don't let a specific issue lead you to assume you've made an all-encompassing mistake. It's just one issue, and it's resolvable.
And everyone else: giving a dozen recommendations for reading will only leave the petitioner bewildered. Start with three. And try responding with a hypothesis as to what's causing the primary problem!

Need help with representing 2 bits of data in a column

I Need help representing only 2 bits of data in a column in order to save space.
Is that possible?

CommitMan wrote:

Is that possible?Yes - using Assembler....
If you need to count bits to save space, then you must be on 70's, or early 80's, hardware. So using Assembler should not be a problem. Let me guess.. a 8051 microcontroller from the 1980?
Here's what the 8051 code and memory optimisation manual says:
>
The simplest and best way to get dramatic improvements
in efficiency is to look for all variables that will have only
binary values (0 and not 0), and define them as type 'bit‘:
bit myVar;With bit variables, the full set of 8051 bit-level assembler
instructions can be used to generate very fast and
compact code. For example, the following C code:
myVar = ~myVar;
if (!myVar)
}Generates only two lines of assembler:
B200 CPL myVar
200006 JB myvar,?C0002This example uses only 5 flash bytes and 8 CPU cycles.
When you use bit variables, you can implement a
nontrivial line of C code with just one assembler
instruction.
>
<i>PS. Yes, the above is really from a manual for a real 80s microcontroller. And yes, I'm poking fun at your question as saving bits were a problem in the 80s and prior. It should not be a problem in the 21st century information system and database.</i>

revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working".

Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

Need help getting multiple user accounts access an app and its data

Hello All,
We recently got a new iMAC. We set up 3 user accounts in it. Two are admin accounts (one for me and one for my husband). The third is a user account with parental controls turned on (for our kid). Here is the basic setup:
1. Accnt1 - admin
2. Accnt2 - admin
3. Accnt3 - user
Now, I installed the complete national geographic application on the iMAC along with all the data. This is a 6 CD set that took several hours to install. I installed it logged in with Accnt1 (please see above). This installed all the data (150 years worth of data) onto the Documents folder for Accnt1.
The installation was successful and when I launch the application, I can view all the data from Accnt1.
So what is the problem? I tried logging in from Accnt2 and Accnt3. While the applciation is visible and will launch from both those user profiles, no data gets displayed. My guess is that this is because the data from the 6 CD's got installed onto the Documents folder for Accnt1 which is not viewable/accessible from Accnt2 and Accnt3. Therefore, nothing gets displayed.
How do I fix this issue without reinstalling the software so that ALL 3 user accounts on my iMac can access the application AND its data?
My guess is that I will have to provide user permissions/access to the Documents folder for Accnt1 such that both Accnt2 and Accnt3 are read/write. I tried to do that via the Finder and 'More info' operation wherein I click on the tiny lock icon at the bottom of the screen and add Accnt2 and Accnt3 as read/write. But this does not fix the problem for ALL folders further down and I dont want to fix each and every folder.
Is there a quick way to resolve this problem? Can I fix this issue via a terminal window with a command?
Please do help me out.
Thanks in advance

Move the data folder out of A's documents folder and into /Users/Shared. Then, control-option-command-drag the data folder from its new location back to its original location in A's documents folder. This makes an alias. Log in to the other user accounts and repeat the process for making aliases, to each user's Documents folder.
You might also contact the developer and politely suggest that they learn how to write programs properly for Mac OS X.

Need help migrating Mail/iCal/Address data from 10.3 to 10.7

Hi, I'm helping a relative migrate from an 8-year old iMac (10.3.9) to a new one running Lion. Mostly it's going to be a clean sweep app-wise, but we need to move iCal, Mail and Address Book data across. Of course, these apps have changed a fair bit in across the last 4 'full' versions of OS X, and the folder structures within the user library no longer match between machines. Can anyone advise me what to copy and what to junk? I appreciate this is a bit of a vague question, but that's the situation. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

The webtogo was dropped in 11.x. so the URL has changed. This is one of those situations which needs to be handled by support. Have you filed a request with support yet?
thanks

Hello,
The best way is to use the HEX to decimal coversion VI in the string pallette. Then, write this decimal directly to your chart. If you are doing it a point at a time put it into a while loop.

Need help in SPML user provisioning

Hi All,
I am using SPML to provision the user in SIM 7.1.
is there any way i can validate the user data against defined (Account, Password etc) policies before submit the form.
Any pointer or help will be greatly appraciated.

Hi,
You can make a custom form that contains the policy checks you want to make. ( Perhaps just take a section or reference the fields from your default user form) You can use the "runForm" SPML call to pass in the user attributes and run that form. Then pending on your answer from your form, you can make your provision call.
Hope that helps.

Need to migrate LDAP users from 11.1.1.1 HSS to 11.1.2.2 HSS..????

Greetings!!!
Hi there, I need to know the best approach how can i migrate my security from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.2. (I have users, groups and security filters).
I have just 2 native id's so I am fine there. But I have about 2000 LDAP user whcih are configured under 10 groups which I need to migrate from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.2 HSS.
OS - AIX6.1
App server - weblogic\
DB-IBM DB2 9.7
Please recommend!!
Regards,

You could try LCM to run the export, I don't think the two versions of LCM are compatible so you can just use the export files and not the lcm config files.
You can also use the CSSImportExport utility to export provisioning from 11.1.1.1
Cheers

URGENT: How to selectively migrate composite instances and task data from one env to another

Gurus,
We've come across a situation whereby we need to migrate instance data (including Human Task related) of some specific composites from one environment to another.
(Environment is equivalent here to a different domain installation on different physical server.)
Is this possible in some standard way like using Oracle import-export utility or script?
If not, how can this be achieved?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this.
With regards-
Ashish

Hi,
If your SharePoint environment supports InfoPath Forms, then you can customize the form and add rules to make the list items as read only when user A submits the form.
you can then write a form load event to check the logged in user using username() function. This logic can be implemented in variety of ways, like setting a flag when User A submits the form, or storing user A username in a form variable etc., else comparing
User A and User B values within form Load event.
Another way of doing this is using Views or grouping all of the User A fields within a section etc.,
The above would take care of Form logic, and for the workflow, you can use SharePoint designer to create a custom workflow, where it will run on onItemCreate and onItemChange events.
The logic for workflow would be if the form Submitted for the first time, the workflow will start and send an email to User B, and when User B submits the Data then onItemChange change event will start the workflow to send an email to approver to approve
the data.

Need help restoring iTunes Library and iPhoto Library after re-install???

some history, my 5 1/2 year old iMac started as Tiger, upgrade to Leopard and then to Snow Leopard...the latter being done after Snow Leopard came to market. Over a week ago I developed a Disk error that could not be fixed by the repair disk and everything else that Apple could come up with. The iMac at this point was pretty unresponsive. (It had been running great for years) Anyhow the decision was made to do a complete restore. Time Machine had made a backup just the previous day or two earlier plus I have close to 2 years of other SL backups. So per Apple, we did a full install of Leopard followed by a upgrade to Snow Leopard, followed by installing all the updates. We then reinstalled iWorks (with iTunes and iPhoto) and installed those updates as well. So now I had an empty itunes and iPhoto.....Now it gets confing for me! It was late at night and the Apple folks were shutting down. They simply said, Go to your last Time Machine back up date and hit restore and you will be all set. Well...what ever it restored, I can't find my music or photos. I called the next night, again it was late and we only had a short time but this person had me do a system Migration...to restore everything back to the way it was before......So now I have 100 gigs of everything I recognize from my applications to all the stuff in my User file and it would appear everthing else. The problem is....I can't find my old iPhoto library or my itunes library anywhere and I am scared to death that I have lost them despite all my Time Machine Back-ups. Worried and concerned!!! Bill

If you need to, you should be able to selective restore things from later backups, via the "Star Wars" display. See #15 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum)., if you're not sure how to do that.
I am going to watch like a hawk and if it does occur then I know I probably have some HD issues.
Good plan. You might want to run this: [Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]. Run the Extended tests.
I also think I may do something like a Carbonite back-up in addition to my external HD.
That will be excruciatingly slow. See #27 in the FAQ for some other suggestions.
