Problem migrating account from one active directory domain to another. Using NetBIOS

Hello,
I'm migrating a Lion machine from one domain to another. When I try to join it to abc.example.com it joines it to 123.example.com in the list of domains. 123.example.com is the NetBIOS name of abc.example.com. This configuration does not work.
What is even more strange, is if I go into the Open Directory Utility > Active Directory to set the create mobile account settings, once I apply the settings (or even if I don't apply the settings) when I get back to the list of domains, it show BOTH abc.example.com and 123.example.com as domains I am joined to. If I remove 123.example.com it removes abc.example.com.
I've only seen this problem one other time and this was with a snow leopard machine that was not bound to AD. I upgraded it to Lion and tried to bind it, and had the exact same thing occur.
I'm certain there is a "stuck" setting somewhere that is causing this. I have had successful snow leopard > lion upgrades work, and many lion machines joined to AD so this does work normally. Just not sure whats wrong or really where to look.
The OS is fully patched and updated to the current version.
Any thoughts?

Case 1:
Here you can written pre-update event handler which will check whether minor and major org code changed or not.
If changed then first starts de-provisioning and then start provisioning.
If not changed then do nothing.
This approach will not transfer accounts from one domain to another but it will create fresh accounts and remove accounts from old domain.
Case2:
If you want to transfer accounts from one domain to another in that on pre-update you have to change OU of user on process which automatically move to another domain.
but not sure about exchange it is possible to move to another domain.
hopping that all domains under same forest otherwise same Connector Sever will not work.

  • Best way to move securities from one Active Directory (AD) to another ?

    Hi experts,
    We are currently moving all our employees from several Active Directories (AD) to a Global active directory (GAD). So user accounts and all our BPC securities set up will keep being the same. Only the active directory has to be changed.
    What would be the best way to proceed to migrate all our current securities from our various AD to our new GAD ?
    We are on SAP BPC MS 7.0 SP3, SQL Server 2008
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Ludovic

    If the name of somain will remain the same then you don't have to do anything from BPC point of view.
    You just to make sure that doing ping of "domain name" it will respond the new active directory GAD not the old one.
    If the domain name was changed then from BPC point of view we are speaking actually about complete different users.
    So the security must to be redone for all users.
    domain1\user1 is different by dmain2\user1.

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • Problems migrating accounts from tiger to leopard

    I have been attempting to migrate my company's open directory from tiger server over to leopard. the method i have taken to do this is to use ldapsearch to retrieve the ldif from the old directory. and ldapadd to add it to the new directory. Before importing into the new, i went thru and replaced the authAuthority strings in the ldif with the key from the new server via "mkpassdb -key" the accounts appear in WGM, however if i browse to an account i only see "Basic", "Privileges", and "Advanced" as options. I can however get all the tabs to show up if i kill WGM, relaunch it, and look at an account. but after i look at one, they all revert to showing me only the 3 tabs. I have one account that existed in the new directory before the import and it behaves as normal.
    since the import i have also noticed alot of this in the logs:
    Feb 11 16:14:41 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
    Feb 11 16:15:20 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
    Feb 11 16:15:50 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
    Feb 11 16:16:22 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)

    Hi
    Archive the LDAP Database, do the upgrade/install to Leopard. Make sure your DNS config is the same as it was when the server was 10.4.11. Spend time on this and test this thoroughly. In fact don’t start any other service until you have this as it should be. Promote to OD Master, use the same details for the Directory Administrator (diradmin) account that you used before and restore the LDAP Database. All Users, Groups, Computer Lists, MCX and passwords should be retained.
    The manual is correct in saying that Users passwords are not retained when exporting from WGM. However it should not be a problem (if the first method does not work) to select all relevant users and define a policy forcing users to change their passwords next time they login. Saves you the finger work. You could also inform your users what you wish them to use or the form the passwords should take.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Migrating current mobile user accounts from one OS X Server to another

    I have not been able to find ANY answers to my situlaton. 
    I have a small office that currently has a Mac Server 10.4.11 server running that has many "mobile user" accounts setup.  This was done because we have so many mobile users coming in and out of the office.  When the user comes back they sync their home directory witht th server here.  Works great.
    We recently purchased a new Mac Server running 10.7.4.  Set it up as the Open Directory Master.  I unbind from the old server and bind to the new server.  Everything seems to be working just fine except when I go and add a current mobile user to the new server it creates a new user account on the client device (MacBooks) as if the previous user settings didn't exsist.  Since they need to be mobile users and not just network users I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem any where.
    Is there a way on the client to tell it to use the old user account stored on the MacBook to use with new mobile user connected to the new server?
    Or is there an easier way of doing this that I don't know about?
    Thanks,
    TK

    If I understand what you wrote, no.  The reason is this.  If memory serves...  In 10.4.11 accounts were assigned a UID.  In 10.7.x, accounts are assigned a UID and a GUID.  Most everything relies on the GUID at this point.  So, what you have is an account named marysue on the workstation and it is assigned a UID like 1045.  Now you created marysue on the Lion server, but you likely did not recreate the UID to match the old server.  And thus, the UID value is different but more importantly you now have a GUID value like EC0F9357-8EF2-4D3B-B6F3-2E3016400114, that is associated with the account.  So, the user, despite having the same shortname, is different. 
    In addition, you are working with two different directory systems.  10.4 still used NetInfo (ah, I miss you so).  10.5 and above use DS local flat files, even when bound to an LDAP system.
    So, probably the easiest way to do this, provided I understand what you are seeing is the following.  Let's assume the following:
    You have a mobile account on a workstation for the user maryjoe with a UID of 1034 that came from the 10.4.11 system.  You have this account cached.  You have a home folder in /Users/maryjoe.  You have now bound to the new server which contains a user named maryjoe likely with a UID of something other than 1034 and with a GUID value that likely did not exist in the old directory system, also with the shortname of maryjoe and a home path of /Users/maryjoe.
    So when you log in, you are likely being pathed to /Users/maryjoe, but you are seeing a default Dock and no documents because of permissions.  My guess is that if you used Terminal to view the Users directory you would see something like this (open Terminal and issue the command ls -l /Users/:
    drwxrwxrwt   4 root       wheel  136 Apr 18 21:35 Shared
    drwxr-xr-x+ 14 locadmin  staff  476 Jan 21 7:42 locadmin
    drwxr-xr-x+ 14 1034  staff  476 Mar 21 10:42 maryjoe
    Note the folder maryjoe is not owned by maryjoe, it is owned by the UID of maryjoe from the old server.
    Ok, so long story short (sorry for the log explanation, especially if you are experiencing something else that I did not get from the post), all you need to do is update the permissions of the home folder.  Do this:
    1:  Log in as the local admin
    2:  Open Terminal
    3:  Issue this command:
         sudo chown -R maryjoe /Users/maryjoe
    Even with a lot of data in the home folder, this should not take more than a few minutes to complete.
    When the command completes, run this command again:  ls -l /Users/
    You should now see
    drwxrwxrwt   4 root       wheel  136 Apr 18 21:35 Shared
    drwxr-xr-x+ 14 locadmin  staff  476 Jan 21 7:42 locadmin
    drwxr-xr-x+ 14 maryjoe  staff  476 Mar 21 10:42 maryjoe
    Now try logging in as the user.  With a little luck I divined the issue and this will have you up and running.  Now, I normally will also purge the cached account in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/ but that might be a bit daunting.  So let's start with the simple process first of ensuring home folder permissions are correct.

  • Problem migrating news from one portal to another one

    Hello,
    we want to replace our portal, that's why I have to transport all settings for the news and the news items itself to the new portal.
    I already transported:
    - the news form using WEBDAV
    - the news items using WEBDAV
    - the layout set
    - the collection renderer
    - the forms availability settings
    - the news iViews
    Now my problem is, that the news items are still not displayed and also the forms availability doesn't seem to work, as the forms are not offered in the KM Content.
    Have I missed something to migrate? I hope you can help me.

  • Migrating wiki from one 10.6 server to another

    Has anyone had any success and know the proper procedure for moving a wiki between two 10.6 servers? We're relocating it to different hardware. When I move the data store it does the "starting server" thing forever when you try to visit the web page. It doesn't look like python or wikid is doing much of anything after the first few seconds. When I delete the various .db sql lite databases as suggested for fixing other issues, they do get recreated but it still never fully starts.
    The permissions are also correct on all the files so I know it is not that. Also, I did the migration using rsync3 and made sure it preserved proper permissions, extended attributes, etc.
    I'm probably missing something but was wondering if anybody has done it. Thanks.

  • How to Migrate Mail from One Mac Computer (MBP) to another Mac Computer (MBA)

    I just bought a Mac Book Air (OS X Mavericks, Mac Mail) after a couple of years using a Mac Book Pro (OS X Mavericks, Mac Mail) and need to migrate my mail from MBP to MBA. Is there any steps to follow

    MVP - if you still need the advice, or if any others come across this thread hoping it will help.
    The simplest way is now that you have your mail files copied from the old Mac (as per:
    Grant Lenahan
    Simply move over your users/you/library/mail folder ( it has all the mail files).
    Now launch Mail on the new Mac and go to File > Import Mailboxes
    Select the mail boxes you want to import and Bob's your mother's brother!
    Works a treat!

  • Migrating to new Active Directory Domain

    Hey people,
    I have a OSX Server here at a school which I need to move from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. We are having a restructure of our IT System and 90% of our equipment is PC but have a few macs on site for the specific tasks that we need them to do.
    The OSX server was set-up 2yrs ago by some consultant which charged an arm and leg, so its up to me this time round to configure it. It is not a vital part of the IT system so a rebuild is possible, but the quicker it can moved across the better.
    So my question is. Is it easier to "modify" the settings on the OSX Server to the new domain? i.e. change field names in Server Admin. or rebuild the server from scratch?
    Our configuration is Apple clients authenticate to AD, but grab all their settings and OSX group membership from the OSX server. I have here a guide called "Leveraging Active Directory on OSX" would this be useful if I need to rebuild the server? I am fairly confident that I wont run into too many problems, but things like kerberos settings, etc may confuse me. Any help would be excellent!

  • Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

    Hi,
    I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
    in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller 
    When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
    ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
    The log file logged the details of this error as:
    ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
    that cannot be translated."
    After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
    be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
    I got some pointer from the below thread
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
    However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
    I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
    Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
    Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
    Thanks in advance.

    Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
    Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

  • Joining 10.8.5 with existing account to Active Directory domain

    Hi-
    I have a MacBook Pro that I am using as a test computer to figure out how to introduce the growing population of Mac's into our Active Directory environment in our small company. This comptuer is running OSX 10.8.5
    There is a test account in AD that I will be using to connect to the windows domain. I am able to get the Laptop binded to AD, and have no problem authenticating, and seeing all the network resources required.
    Here is the part that has me stumped:
    Is there any way to take my existing "local" account that was configured when I began using my MBP without Active Directory and continue to use it, but logon to the laptop using my Active Directory account?
    Perhaps copy all the settings and preferences from the local account ontop of the AD account on the laptop?
    I have been using this laptop as my personal machine for many months and have quite a few customizations made to my deskop preferences, icon layouts, etc. This will be same case with all of the users that will soon be authenticating on the domain. We need this for centralized management of network shares, password policies, and number of other security features.
    There is some limited information on the web, but nothing that I have tried really works, here's some of what i found and the difficulty that resulted.
    http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/37886-convert-mac-local-user-into-ac tive-directory-network-user
    - The script mentioned in step 3 was not able to copy local account to the destination folder.
    http://robotcloud.screenstepslive.com/s/2459/m/5322/l/112415-convert-local-accou nts-to-network-mobile-accounts
    - The sudo mv /Users/USERNAME /Users/DIRUSERNAME command was not able to make the "DIRUSERNAME" directory, and did not have any effect if this directory already existed due to a prior logon.
    I'm just looking for some help making it so that my users can retain their desktop layouts that they are used to, but logon to the domain using AD credentials.
    Seems simple, but is pretty difficult to get done.
    Thanks in advance for any help....

  • Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

    Greeting dear colleagues!
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
    has about 1500 users/computers.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
    maybe only some small questions :)
    Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.

    Hi Dmitriy,
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
    As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
    to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
    Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

  • Cannot connect to Domain\administrator from ny RDC after assigning an active directory domain to my server

    hi, I'm using windows server 2012 R2 and I was Just wondering how to make the Remote Desktop enable connection through domain\administrator before actually creating the domain... In other words, I wanted to create an Active Directory Domain User and connect
    to the server from the RDP. The problem is that I can only connect through the RDP considering that I'm using Windows Azure, so the physical server isn't actually sitting on my desk... Anyway when I create an AD DS the system automatically reboots and I'm
    not able to connect to it anymore, so all I need to do right now is enable somehow the Remote Desktop Services to connect through "Domain\Administrator" before I actually create the AD DS and assign it to my server so that when the system reboots
    and I open the RDP I can connect to the server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per your comment, it seems that you are managing the server with .RDP file. I can suggest you to run
    "Remote Desktop Connection Manager” for maintaining server. With that you can specify the credential for domain\administrator and when you setup the AD DS, after that you can open the connection through domain\administrator and not as local user.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
    Dharmesh
