Potential fix for WGM generating negative User IDs
I saw a posting back from August 2007 from "Summer is Gone", where he/she asked about Workgroup Manager generating negative User IDs (UIDs). No one responded back then and the thread is now closed, so I thought I'd contribute my experience with it today.
I had this problem on a 10.4.11 server that serves only as an OD Master. I had archived the OD database, set to Standalone, rebooted, and then restored the archive as a potential fix for some little glitches that we'd been having after 4 years of running the server.
After the archive was restored, WGM was creating negative UIDs during "Add User". I'm not certain that was the trigger, but it's the likely one.
The fix was to simply trash ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.workgroupmanager.plist and relaunch WGM. After that, WGM once again started generating positive UIDs.
In case no one got back to you, when you use WGM to import set the "First User ID" to a positive number. WGM>Server>Import>First User Import ID
Then all users will get a positive ID.

Need to generate Unique User IDs in OIM
Hi,
I am working in OIM 9.1 environment right now. I need to generate unique User IDs for all the users who come via self request. My problem is that while creating the user ids, I can search for the existing users in OIM and AD easily, but i am unable to search the users for whom the request has been made but approval is pending. Such user ids are reserved in OIM so if an employee with the same first and last name comes, there might be a conflict which might lead to an error. Can someone suggest any api or query using which I can search for these IDs under request in OIM.If i use the userid generator as Pre-Insert, there will be a conflict if two similar named users request at the same time (or if one of the request is yet to be approved).
I am getting the below error while creating user id as Pre-Insert. What is the correct way of getting this done? Please suggest.

Potential fix for slow/unreliable network on Macbook Air running Mavericks
Hi all,
I work in IT support at University of Manchester, UK and have found a fix for for network issues we were experiencing with Macbook Air laptops running Mavericks. These Airs were having issues connecting to our WiFi and experiencing slow downloads, even when switched over to UBS LAN adaptors.
Anyhow, after trawling these forums without success I stumbled upon this solution myself so thought I'd share:
Basically, if you are experiencing speed/connection issues go into the 'Advanced' network settings and change the IPv6 setting from 'Automatic' to 'Link Local' and then reboot. Hopefully, after doing this you should find your speed levels return to expected levels!
Hope it works for you.
Cheers.Follow these instructions:

Potential fix for "Waiting for items to copy" & "Waiting for changes to be applied" issue
Ever since I installed iOS7 on my 5th gen iPod Touch I've been unable to complete a sync without getting stuck for upwards of an hour on the "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied" steps. However, today I finally pieced together the most useful bits of info from around these forums in conjunction with what my iTunes was doing into a potential two-step fix.
The first sync I did took about 45 minutes (and I wasn't even adding any music or apps; I just wanted to update some album info that iTunes messed up). However, during the lengthy "Waiting for items to copy" step, I happened to glance up just in time to see that iTunes was trying to copy literally thousands of Genius items that entire time. So all I did was go to Store > Turn Off Genius, and then--for added measure--Reset Sync History from Edit > Preferences > Devices tab. Hit Sync again, and for the first time since updating to iOS7 did it take less than a couple of minutes! Now every sync only takes a matter of seconds, as it should. Hope that helps at least some of you out there.
By the way, this was on a PC running Windows 7, iTunes 11.1.4.62, and iOS 7.0.4 on a 5th gen iPod Touch.For for changes to be applied:

TS3642 Is Apple working on a fix for this so Windows users can import a .band file?
Exporting from the iPad Garageband into iTunes is a cinch. The resulting .band file can be sent via email or by other means to another computer. If that computer is a Mac, it is possible to reverse the process and import the .band file into iTunes for use on another iPad. But Apple has not implemented the same code for the Windows version of iTunes, so if your collaborator has an iPad and Garageband, but no Mac, there is no way to get the .band file back onto another iPad. Apple says as much in TS3642. Does anyone know if Apple is working to fix this problem? Or can anyone think of a workaround?
I've been prompted to look at this again and have found a decent workaround...
Annoyingly the Windows version of iTunes doesn't handle .band projects properly. You can use .iTunes to transfer a project from one device into the file sharing area for the app and save it to your computer, but you can't drag a .band folder into that area to upload to another device. In contrast a round trip is possible for iMovieMobile as those project folders are rolled up into a .zip file.
I've just tested iFunBox which allows you to copy files to and from the iOS device's file system. Share the GarageBand project to iTunes on the device in the normal way, connect it to a computer running iFunBox, click the iFunBox Classic button, expand the tree to show App File Sharing > GarageBand and drag the project folder to your computer. Connect the other device, show the App File Sharing > GarageBand view, drag the project folder in, then in GarageBand on the device use the plus symbol in the My Songs view to copy the project from iTunes.
My only slight reservation is that AVG flagged up one of the components of iFunBox as a security risk, although having let AVG take remedial action the iFunBox program carried on working and there is no sign that AVG actually quarantined any files. I suspect a false positive, the program has been around for some time and has plenty of good recommendations. I'm sure if it were known to be malicious I'd have found the evidence.

Potential fix for frequent freezes - spinning beach ball - in all apps
I've had escalating difficulties over the past few weeks with frequent crashes. It started out that iTunes would pause suddenly in the middle of a song, and give me the spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before starting to play again; it then progressed to Safari doing the same thing when I tried to load process-heavy pages (I noticed it especially on pages with large animated ads). It got progressively worse, to the point where yesterday I had to force restart about fifteen times, and a couple of those were so bad that I'd have to re-restart five seconds after logging in.
Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that I tried various solutions I've seen around the boards - seems a bunch of folks are having similar difficulties - and so I tried a couple of the suggestions: repairing permissions; using Macaroni to do routine maintenance such as clearing logs & caches; running Disk Utility. I found that using a newly-created account got rid of the problem, so I figured there was some problem with my user account.
Well, I saw someone suggest in another thread dragging the Fonts folder to the desktop and restart; the next step in the process was to do the same with Preferences. I got into my library folder and found I had not one but two Fonts folders - seemingly identical in their contents (encodings.dir, fonts.dir, fonts.list, fonts.scale) and then a third folder with all the actual font files in it. Not sure how it happened that I had two Fonts folders, but I dragged both of them to the desktop and let the computer replace it upon restart.
And miracle of miracles, that seems to have solved the problem. Not sure if the computer was trying to look in the Library for fonts and getting confused by finding two identical files, or what, but hey, I can't complain.
So I thought I'd post this here in case it's helpful for anyone else!

SQLDeveloper fix for Mac OS X users if tables are not appearing...
On my beloved MacBook using OS X 10.4.9 with all the latest Java updates:
After I upgraded to the latest version of SQLDeveloper a few months ago, I was unable see more than a few tables in my database. I gave up on SQLDeveloper in frustration and decided to check the forums again today to see if anyone else has experienced similar problems. Eureka! Others have had similar problems and solved it different ways, which is where I got my inspiration.
My simple fix, I moved these files from /Library/Java/Extensions to the my Desktop (just in case I need them later):
classes12.jar
ocrs12.jar
ojdbc14.jar
orai18n.jar
These jar files already exist in my /usr/local/lib directory (from installing Oracle Instant Client).
Hope this helps.
GThank you for posting this fix, I have had this problem for quite some time.

Fix for Error deleting SPAlert - User Not Found
In case anyone else has this problem:
We migrated from one domain to another and even though I ran stsadm -o migrateuser on everyone, I had some old bad users in my site collections (even when I used ignoresidhistory). I went and deleted a few of these, however after a few weeks I learned more and more things are screwed up because of this. (I got a lot more screwed up results thanks to migrateuser, running it more than once on a user messed up the mysites for some of them, etc)
One thing is there are still alerts pointing to the old user. If you try to delete the alert you get this:
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: User cannot be found.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPUserCollection.get_Item(String loginName)
at MigrateUsersDomains.AdminTool.printAlerts(String siteurl, String weburl)
at MigrateUsersDomains.AdminTool.Main(String[] args)
The answer is to first point the alert to an existing user then delete it yourself, this code I wrote I already knew the GUIDs of the alerts to delete, but it should be simple to make it generic by checking each alert's user, which is my next step: loop through every web .. yay fun!
/// <summary>
/// Deletes alerts
/// </summary>
/// <param name="siteurl">URL of site collection</param>
/// <param name="weburl">URL of web</param>
/// <param name="userAccountName">id to point to</param>
/// <param name="alertsToDelete">Array of GUIDs</param>
public void deleteAlerts(String siteurl, String weburl, String userAccountName, String[] alertsToDelete)
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteurl))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(weburl))
SPUser user = web.SiteUsers[userAccountName];
SPAlertCollection alerts = web.Alerts;
for (int i = 0; i < alertsToDelete.Length; i++)
Guid alertGuid = new Guid(alertsToDelete[i]);
SPAlert alert = alerts[alertGuid];
alert.User = user;
alert.Update();
Console.WriteLine("Alert " + alertsToDelete[i] + " is " + alert.ListUrl + " for " + alert.UserId);
foreach (Guid alertGuid in alertsToDelete) {
alerts.Delete(alertGuid);
web.Update();You know what, I had a similar issue to what you are experiencing. Although I was just using Power Shell to interact with the Alert objects of one particular sub-site.
I found that I had about 10 alerts where the $alert.User value was null.
What I did to correct this was Grab a user object and update all the alerts that had a null user to a valid user object. Once the user object was associated. I was then able to delete the alerts.
The user I selected had odd behavior in the alerts page:
http://yoursite.hostheaderurl/yoursubsiteurl/_layouts/SiteSubs.aspx
One user in the "Display Alerts" field was acting odd.
When I selected the user no alerts displayed.
When I selected any other user in the options alerts did display.
So I figured this user was probably the owner of the alerts missing a user value.
I used this user as the basis to grab a user object off of to update the alerts to.

What is the fix for Windows 8.1 users who receive the request to register repeatedly?
I've tried the RegEdit method posted, but the instructions are somewhat different that my registry keys. Under Adobe Acrobat I have "8.0" and when I enter I have four more folders. Under Registration I have a default key with "2" and a serial key with my serial number. I've deleted Acrobat once and reloaded and have the same error. I can X out and the app works until I open it again. Then the same registration issue.

Question about DW 8.0.2 fix for Flash-IE-Active PITA
I've been happily using Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX for my
modest web development efforts. Since I only use a tiny fraction of
each program's features, I've had no reason to upgrade.
I have a fairly extensive website (not incredibly
sophisticated, but it's got a lot of pages, each containing one or
more SWF files). The content of the website is static, and I hadn't
planned to put much (any?) work into updating it.
So now I'm dealing with the recent Internet Explorer/Active X
controls and Flash disaster (yeah, I know, most people went through
this a couple months ago - I've been busy with other stuff). As I
understand it, there are several potential fixes for the problem
(for existing web pages). Most seem to involve adding an external
javascript file and editing the HTML. I see there's also a
Dreamweaver 8.0.2 update.
To me, the thought of wading into every page and futzing with
a javascript patch for each is pretty unappealing. So here's my
question; does the DW 8.0.2 'fix" really fix existing files,
authored in previous versions of Flash and Dreamweaver? If I
upgrade to the latest version (8.0.2), and then I simply open up my
existing HTML files (which contain SWF files) in 8.0.2, and resave
them, will that fix the problem? Or is there more futzing that
needs to be done to fix the IE problem?
Thanks.> So here's my question; does the DW 8.0.2

When you open them, DW will prompt you to add the fix. You
can elect not to,
if you want. After applying the fix, you then have to upload
both the
changed files *and* the new "Scripts" folder that DW has
created for you.

Generate user Ids in ECC in specific numeric format
Hi experts,
Is it possible to create user IDs ( say 12 character numeric ID) in SAP ECC 6.0? If so, what is the tcode?
We are implementing SSO and we would be using first name and last name to identify the users in ECC and create unique accounts by letting the system generate the ID. For any new account request, the system should create increment this numeric ID and create a unique user ID in the ECC system. This ID is used only for technical purposes as the user would always use his AD account to login.
Appreciate if anyone can provide some thoughts in this area..
Thanks
Kee> ( say 12 character numeric ID)
That would be your limit as well.
> This ID is used only for technical purposes as the user would always use his AD account to login.
So you are using Singe-Sign-On, but need to generate the ABAP UMR record name for them.
First off: There are advantages from keeping the UID names the same, just as there are disadvantages from making them cryptic on the ABAP side because the UID name (system field sy-uname) is used in many many applications as the identifier of the creator, or whatever, of data records.
Okay, that is not scalable for huge systems. But it is still better than nothing (e.g. the first name / last name is not displayed)
If you want to go for the sequential numbered user ID option, then the most obvious way to me is to create a number range object (transaction SNRO) for draw the number from there as they are registering. It would be advisable to not activate any number buffering for the range (to avoid gaps) and you might want to ensure that user interfaces to create UIDs where the number range is not forced are protected.
Can be done, but sounds a bit messy to be honest. At least it is not the way things have been done historically in SAP. For example, how would you do a synchronization between the AD and the ABAP system? Or an audit of it? I think that you would have to always go via the mail a ddress only.
Of course, a mail box is something which is quite dear to a person... probably more so than their SAP password....
Interesting question!
Cheers,

How to remove User IDs for deleted users from the Disk Quota list
Hello,
We have a computer lab setup with an Xserve managing 15 stations in the lab. Users are setup with networked home directories and quota's are setup on the drive containing the home directories to limit users' storage.
The user account and the quota limit are setup with Workgroup Manager. When a student has been gone for a while and we are sure they no longer need the account we delete their account within Workgroup Manager and move their Home folder to the trash.
When viewing disk usage in Server Admin (by selecting the volume and clicking the Quatas tab) user ids for deleted users are listed and it still shows the disk usage and quota settings for the user.
How can I remove theses user ids from the quota list?
Any help would be appreciated.
BrianI would restore User's file structre back to normal just by copying from standby user?
Did you mean copy files to a new user profile? If so, hope this link can be helpful for you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
For the unknown user, as you said, it's probably a user account from second OS or
action. If you're annoying about this unknown user, then you can remove all occurrences of granted rights to the specified SID with this command icals [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q]

A "FIX" for Users of PC Suite 6.83 and Removing th...
To conduct the fix immediately, just skip down to about the 3rd paragraph below called "The FIX" for me! This other stuff is some backgroung I wanted to give.
Bottomline...6.83 has a serious problem when you istall it, and I spoke with a Nokia technical rep 2 days ago and he confirmed it. Unfortunately, Nokia doesn't have a clue to what is the root cause problem. The Nokia rep recommended that I "NOT" use version 6.83. Since they are having so many issues with it, I don't understand why they don't just remove it from their website? No matter what you try you will not get it to work properly!
Now when you try to uninstall 6.83, you also get into trouble. You can unistall the PC Suite 6.83 core application , but the cable driver portion remains. Now when you try to remove the cable driver, under ADD / REMOVE Programs, you get the following error" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Again, the Nokia rep was clueless as to why I was receiving the error message and had no additional help for me in removing the cable driver. It just seemed no matter what I tried I could not remove the cable driver nor could I reinstall PC Suite either version 6.83 or 6.82. Finally, last night I stumbled upon a note from another digruntled nokia 6.83 user that led me to search the following Microsoft info regarding a little program called "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
My setup:
Phone - Nokia 9300
Cable - Nokia DKU-2
PC Suite - 6.83
PC OS - Win XP SP2
"THE FIX" for me:
1. Go to (ADD / Remove Programs) and uninstall PC Suite 6.83. This only removes the core program and "not" the cable driver
2. Now go to the following MS website and download and Run the "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe)
Once you download this small MS utility, go down to my item #3 below for further immediate instructions!

Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised.
On This Page
SUMMARY
Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions: • Remove Windows Installer
• Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does perform the following functions: • Provides a dialog box in which you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer
To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
• Removes the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select
If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.

3. Now go to START/PROGRAMS/Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. When you run this utility, a window will open up that lists all the of the programs that you have installed. It looks a little bit like the add/remove program window. Now Select the "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs, then run the utility. It only takes about 15-30 seconds to run.
4. Now go back to the Add /Remove Programs in Control Panel and try and remove "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs now. They should now uninstall!
5. Next I restarted my computer.
6. DO NOT install 6.83!!!!
7. Now go to Nokia website and download PC Suite version 6.82_rel_22:

7. You should now be back in business with a working version of PC Suite.
It is obvious that there is a serious issue with the cable driver portion of 6.83 that corrupts MS Windows Installer program during the install process. Even though you initially can install 6.83, the cable driver is messed up. Also, you can't then uninstall the cable driver unless you run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
After a month of fighting this issue, the Windows Installer Cleanup utility was the key to clearing the conflict of the cable driver. Unfortunately, 6.83 has a serious issue with the cable driver.
Good luck everyone...Sorry for being long winded!Hi diving_catch
Just wanted to say a big thank you as a large number of forum members are having grief over this one!
Might I add that I was happily using 6.82 rel_22.0 until NSU decided that it was time to update........you guessed PCSuite no longer worked. On Xp I uninstalled PC Suite + Nokia Connectivity Driver, installed and ran Nokia PC Suite Cleaner - option clean-up computer, rebooted and at least for now 6.83 v14.1 seems to function with N95. As no updates are available yet I haven't installed Nokia Software Updater!
Many thanks also for the link to PC Suite 6.82 rel_22.0 as I shall probably need this soon.
Interesting for Nokia comment as it's successor is currently out beta testing!
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
