New user profile every 20 days - how to disable?

Hello,
we're using zenworks 7 to manage windows xp sp3 clients. Actually every 20 days every client gets a new one (username.001) is written locally :( - i don't know why. There must be a rule with 20 days in it which is the reason for this behaviour.
Im not familiar with zenworks - but i searched the entire menues from zenworks for a value of 20 days and i found a menue called "Properties of Workstation Pack: Windows XP: Zenworks Desktop Management Agent" with an option "policy definition for dynamic local users" - there is a mark enabled for "enable cache for temporary users" with an value of 20 days - could that be the bad value who is responsible for the new profiles every 20 days? I've set the value to 200 and applied, but nothing changes and next day also 4 users told me that they become a new profile - what can i do.

How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

hi
i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one
when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one

Hi,
The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

Quite honestly, you should consider using the 32-bit release version rather than the "cutting edge" Night 64-bit version, which isn't currently being developed or supported.

I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/"

Error creating a new user profile service application: The specified database is not a valid synchronization database

When trying to create a new user profile service application on a new SharePoint install I get the following error:
"The specified database is not a valid synchronization database"
The installation then fails and does not create the third database.
I found some threads with similar problems but it involved upgrading an existing db. In this case we want to create a new one. Here is the relevant ULS log info:

I Tried to create another one under a different name (databases also) and I get the same error.
The SharePoint instance has the march mandatory update installed. The sql instance we are using is an existing SQL cluster for other SharePoint poc's.
Has anybody seen this issue before?

I had the same problem and could not figure out what was wrong for the longest time. I then had the idea to check in the model system database to see if there were any extra custom tables in that database. Any tables that are in the model database
are put into any new database when it is created. I had some custom tables in the model database so I deleted the custom tables in the model database and deleted the failed user profile service application and its databases and then tried to recreate
the user profile service application again and it worked with no errors

Logic X Additional Content after creating a new User Profile

Hey guys. I have a MBRpro and I'm running into problems with a plugin and diskspace.
I bought East/West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus and Symphonic Choirs and the plugin is killing my CPU on my current User Profile.
Yesterday, I created a new blank user, and its running fine there. I'm guessing because all the systems resources are available without running background daemons from other apps.
After I launched Logic X under the new user, it asked me if I wanted to download additional content. I had already downloaded all the content under the old user, and so I said "no" as I'm struggling with disk space on my retina (6gig free). I played a bit - confirmed the plugin was working fine, quit it/logged off and went back to my old profile.
Today I launched the new user (after logging off from my old profile) and launched logic but now the additional content menu is greyed out. I'd like to know what is going on.
1stly, Is it greyed out only on the new user, because old user installed it all already? If so.. why did it ask me the first time to download additional content?
2ndly, can I verify if the downloadable content library on the older user has carried accross / or is accessable under the new user profile?
3rdly, If the additional content / Libraries are not automatically shared, can I make them available/shared amongst both users, since I don't have the internal diskspace? Moving it all onto an external drive is not the best option for me. I need to keep it all on my laptop if I can.
Thanks for your help guys. I couldn't find anything on the forums regarding content shared amongst users on the same machine. Called Apple Care and they sent me to you guys. :-/
Cheers,
Geo

Hi,
I had some problems with my audio interface, but they were solved with the last Logic update. Which version are you on?

Unable to access time machine backups after creating new user profile

Hi,
I had visited the Genius Bar with some problems with iTunes not opening. The Genius had indicated that I likely had some corrupt files and that the easiest fix would be to create a new user profile... So we did...
After transferring all my data over to the new profile and setting everything back up as I like I deleted the old (presumably corrupt) user profile. To my dismay I no longer have access to any of my time machine backups that were created prior to setting up my new user profile... They appear to still all be there. However, I am unable to select any of the dates prior to the new user profile's creation and the deletion of the old profile...
Please help...
Thank in advance,
Des

That's correct. What you see in Time Machine's "Star Wars" display depends on what you have the Finder window set to. While looking at the new profile, you can't see any backups that were done before it existed.
You're right, they're still there, for now, but are grayed-out in the timeline at the right, because what's in the Finder window wasn't backed-up then.
If you select your internal HD or Computer Name in the sidebar, you'll be able to see those backups.
But since they're for a different user, you won't be able to view inside that home folder or restore from it -- one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to a different user's data.
It's doubtful, but you might be able to create a new user with exactly the same name as the one you deleted, log on to it, and see if the old backups appear.

How can I Import CA Certificate into a new user profile when it's created

I need to deploy a CA Root Certificate to new firefox user profile when it is created in windows. I Seen somewhere that you could place a working copy of cert8.db in %programfiles%\firefox-installation-folder\defaults\profile and this would get added when a new firefox profile is created. However, the profile directory doesn't exist in the defaults folder and when I created it this method still didn't work.
Is there a way to get firefox to create new profiles with preconfigured Certificates?
Right now when new users open firefox for first time it is unable to connect to any SSL sites through our proxy server until the user adds the proxies ca certificate or it gets added later via logon script (at next user logon).

Update... For anyone looking for a similar solution:
I ended up adding more to my logon script I have it check for a user's mozilla profile first and if not found it will use command line "firefox.exe -createprofile default" to make one. After that I just copy a working cert8.db to that new profile. Then when the user opens firefox for first time, it will detect this new profile, and it will load it along with the correct CA Certs intact...
Also, for existing profiles my script just uses nss certutil to add my proxy CA Certificate to the users profile cert8db.

User Group Policy Settings not applied to new user profiles at first logon

Good Afternoon,
We have an issue that occurs to a new user when they first log on to their machines. They log on and a new profile creates from the Default User Profile. We can see that a number of our Group Policy Settings applied as "User Configuration" are
not applying.A log off and back on is required before the policies apply.
Any thoughts to this behaviour please?
Regards
LeeB
Lee Bowman MCITP MCTS

Hi,
How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

What is the best way to automatically delete user profiles after x days of inactivity (school lab environment)?

I work at a school where we have multiple Mac Carts that have 30 MacBooks per cart. We image the macs every summer to delete the older user profiles but we are looking for way to possible have this done automatically through out the year to help with HDD space. What is the best way to delete user profiles after...say 180 days.... of inactivity automatically? I am open to login hooks, bash scripts, etc. Anything to get the job done. Thanks for any help or advice.

A search here turned up this post Deleting inactive users
It appears that the script posted will do as advertised though I would test it out on your systems and under your conditions to see if it does do what you need.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - That script looks for users over 21 days. To look for ones over 180 days change the 21 to 180 in the find command.

Initiall SharePoint Server 2013 setup -- unable to manage new User Profile Service Application

During initial farm setup, creating an initial User Profile Service Application works fine. However, once it's created, I cannot 'manage' it through the Manage Service Applications page in central
admin.
I get a generic error (Sorry, something went wrong / unexpected error) with a correlation ID that doesn't seem to match any ULS log entries. (Yes, I merged logs from all machines in the farm.)
A Windows event log entry says:
A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: Endpoint Failure
Also frequent errors in ULS logs: (see below)
UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException
User Profile Application      Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Micro…
SPDistributedCache DataCacheException
I did notice that the file 'ProfileService.svc does not exist in SharePoint's web services app at the URL you see in the error. (below)
I also found it interesting that the event log error shows 1 active endpoint and 3 failed endpoints. I have 2 WFEs and 2 app servers. But I'm only trying to get the user profile service app running on the application
servers. I have deleted and recreated this service app several times under various names (deleted/recreated its app pool as well) and wonder if these other failed endpoints could be orphans from previous instances...
Any thoughts on how I might successfully create this service application? I've already been Binging my head against a wall long enough that I would have been better off reinstalling the entire farm... I may still
do that.
FYI, my farm came from a slipstreamed SP1 install package, and received the July CU after several other things were already configured, including the already-failed UP service application.

Thanks for the suggestion. I performed the service restarts, and then an iisreset an the two web servers, and the application server that does not run the services. Finally, I ran iisreset on the application server that does run the services.
After performing those steps, I still cannot manage the user profile service application.

Created a new user profile but it does not show on Login screen or fast sw

I have created a new profile that I want to be an admin profile. The creation of the profile went ok. I can see and edit the profile. When I reboot or logout, the login menu only show the inital profile that I set up when I got the system. The new user id also does not show up when I go to my fast switch menu.
My original user id is set to automatically logon when the system is started. I did try and set the new userid to be the one that started automatically on bootup and then both profiles appeared in the startup menu and fast switching menu.
If I switch back to having my original user id be the id that automatically logs in on bootup then the new user id disappears again from the login and fast switch menus. I really don't want to startup on my admin id.
Any ideas?

No not yet. I am still researching the problem. I was hoping someone in the discussion forum could help. Let me know if you find a resolution.

Restoring my files on a new user profile

On a macbook 10 i changed the details of the user profile and it automatically upgraded the profile into yosemite mode
How do I retrieve all the files I used to have?

Do you have a backup you could restore from?
What details did you change? More information would be helpful.

At first error code 205, Error code 1 when using new user profile

Hi,
I'm using Windows Professional 8.1 with CS6 installed.
I now decided for CC, but as many other users I'm not even able to install it!
On my admin account I get the error code 205 when trying to launch CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe.
I read lots of similar posts and tried everything I found, e.g. creating a new Windows admin user profile - this broughtt me just one step further as the installers quits a little bit later with another error code (1).
My PC is a Quad CPU with 2.4GHz, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD - so technical limitations (as I figured out might be indicated by error code 1) shouldn't be an issue!
And it is not even possible to drop an Email to Adobe Support as there is only chat and phone from Mo-Fr 9-17h - this is ridiculous...
Anyway - why are there no more simple Download-Links for the Apps?
Obviously Adobe seems not to be able to provide working installers - this whole CC thing is absolutely crap as I'm not able to use it!
I'd really appreciate if someone who had/has the same problem(s) would come up with a solution - and please - no standard links to dummy Adobe support pages!
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
Carsten

Error 205 is an network connectivity issue.
I guess you getting error message as "Installer Failed -Download appears to be corrupted (-60) "
The recommend solutions are provided in the below link :

Tips:
1)If you are using Wireless/Wifi Internet , try with Ethernet wired connection .
2)Disable FIrewall, if you are on office or managed corporate network, if it is not possible to disable Network FIrewall , try Adding ports list to network firewall Allow/Whitelist.
3)Check whether the LAN settings is set to detect settings Automatically.
4)Try with different Internet connection , possibly different Internet Service Provider.
If face same issue even using different Internet Service Provider connection , you may contact Adobe Support and inform them regarding the issue.
Because , it will be necessary to check log files like PDAPP , OOBELIB...etc
However , for time being , it is smart to install and use the Apps using alternative method .
There is a direct download links for all CC apps .

Transferring dreamweaver preferences to new user profile in CS3

I have been having Vista problems that may be caused by a
corrupt user
profile so have created a new one and transferred files etc.
Dreamweaver treats this as a new user and file associations
etc have all
disappeared. I have spent some time setting up everything as
I need it
for my v hosts set up. Importing all the site definitions was
a 2
second job. Is there a simple way to transfer the preferences
across as
easily or does anyone know the relevant registry location and
procedure
that would accomplish the same in CS3 on Vista?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Jan

Thanks Joe - especially for speed of reply.
I think trying to be clever with moving my profiles to
another partition
got me into this so I am being ultra careful with back ups!
Thanks again.
