Remove user, then cannot reuse that user's code

A client accidentally removed a user that he would now like to recreate. But is unable to because that user code still exists in the OUSR table. I tried the same thing in a test environment, I created a user 'donna', then removed her, then tried to create a new user with user code 'donna' and I get the following error:
"This entry already exists in the following tables 'Users' (OUSR) ..."
Is there a way to permanently delete that user entry from OUSR, or a way to reinstate that user in SAP again so that I can reuse the user code, but just change the information.
Thanks,
Sarah

There is no legitimate way around this unfortunately, but...
"SELECT * FROM OUSR" will show all records in the database including your deleted user. I wouldn't delete it because it may have been used in old documents etc. But you can reinstate it with:
UPDATE OUSR
SET GROUPS=0
WHERE user_code='sophie'
The group will have been set to 99 when the user was removed.
Be very careful with this and make sure you get your WHERE clause right.

The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

H,
Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
Event 1001
Op Code NLS initialization
The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now.
I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
How do we ascertain the cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

Hi,
This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

Create user/schema is script, then tables for that user/schema

Hi;
First off, if I phrase this a little wrong - I'm from the Sql Server world and still trying to totally understand Oracle.
I have a schema (.sql file) that creates my database fine. But what I would liek to add to the .sql schema is for it to create a user and then place all the tables, indexes, sequences, and triggers in as belonging to that created user.
This way we can tell people to log in as sysop and run the script to create the schema rather than create the user, log in as the user, then run the script.
What do I need to add?
thanks - dave

Hi;
I have tried:
CREATE USER DAVE IDENTIFIED BY password;
CONNECT DAVE/password AS SYSDBA
I have also tried:
CONNECT DAVE/password AS SYSTEM
CONNECT DAVE AS SYSDBA
CONNECT DAVE
In all cases ApplicationExpress says it does not recognize the CONNECT command. Should I do something different? What I want to accomplish is that all subsequent commands in the script creating tables, indexes, etc are assigned to the user/schema DAVE.
thanks - dave

FDM server shutdown by some user, how to find that user details

Hi,

If the server was shutdown, the information should be in the event log for the server. In the system events detail, you will typicallysee the following columns:
Type, Date, Time, Source, Category, Event, User, Computer.
The user who shutdown the server will be listed here.

How to copy BEx Workbooks from one user's favourites to another user's

Is there a way to copy BEx Workbooks (Excel Analyzer) from one user's 'Favourites' to another user's Favourites?
A user is away on vacation and we need to get at a couple of workbooks that are stored only in that user's Favourites. We do not have access to that user's user id and password.
Were on BW version 3.5.

Thanks Ravi.
We are aware that if a workbook is assigned to a Role then other users can access the workbook.
In order to assign the workbook to a Role, we need to be able to see it in the first place.
The workbook is currently saved only in a specific user's Favourites, and that user is away on vacation. We can not assign it to a Role unless we sign on as that user. We do not have the user's logonid and password.
So we are still interested in finding out how to copy from that user's Favourites, perhaps via a program or via the Administrator Workbench.

<Email Edited By Host>

This is not Apple we are all users here
You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you

Displayed a message box then removed it by a program without user action

Can a message box be displayed by a program and then removed by the program without any user action such as clicking OK or closing the box?
If so, will you show us how to do that?
I have a non-GUI application which needs to tell the user to wait while classes and being created and data is being loaded from the network. The message needs to disappear when the program is ready.
Thanks!

Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?

Hello,
Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?
I have a customer that wants to put an employee handbook into a FORMS FOLDER. But he doesn't want users to be able to copy the file into other folders or onto removable media.
Admittedly, I have never run into this before and my testing hasn't yielded an answer...
Any Ideas?
Thanks again,

Use third party software for security management (http://www.wave.com/ ,

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

I cannot access one user on my iMac. When I log onto that user the dekstop appears unpopulated and blank and half of the programs do not appear on the operating bar. When I attempt to click on a program such as Safari nothing happens. Nothing works and I can only exit by doing a command/option/esc and restarting the computer. The other user and the Administrator work fine. What has disabled the one user? How do I recover this user and its files?

No.. I have been through parental control and it does not affect this problem. Now if I log onto this user I cannot get out even with a comman/option/escape; I have to unplug the power to the computer to get it to restart with the administrator. I saw somewhere that there is a process in which I can delete the use and then create a new user with the same name and password and then recover everything - but I cannot find that solution. This is a real problem for me, as you might imagine.

Hi,
Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't.

Outlook 2010 cannot save to archive folders listed. Message says that message was already moved or that user doesn't have permission.

Hi,
Does this issue occur when you manually archive items in Outlook, do you drag them into the archive folder?
The first thing I wonder is if the .pst file has been corrupted, please run Scanpst.exe to repair the archive .pst file:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
Please logon your Webmail(owa), check if the emails are available. If the emails have been moved and Outlook Client hasn't synced yet, this issue may occur as well.
We can also create a new .pst file to archive the file, check if the issue persists.
For more information, we can refer to Archive items manually:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/archive-items-manually-HA010355564.aspx
When you browse to the archive file in step 5, type in a new .pst file name.
If my understanding is not accurate, please detail your scenario and provide the exact error message.

This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes

I have seen others post this same question but the answers provided does not resolve my problem. My iPad Air is running iOS 7.1.2. I have been using this same computer for three years. It has Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64-bit Operating System, Intel 3.4GHZ computer and 16.0 GB . I used this same computer with my iPad2 for several years. I purchased an iPad Air a year ago. I never had a problem with either iPad using iTunes. About a week ago, my computer would no longer recognize the iPad Air. I thought it must be a driver problem or iTunes somehow became corrupted. I uninstalled all of the Apple products except for iCloud and deleted any Apple software left in my Program Files and Program Files (x86). I then downloaded from Apple, iTunes64Setup.exe which is a 110,833 KB program. I installed the program without a problem. It installed Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support and iTunes. These programs I had previously uninstalled. I then brought up iTunes. I now plugged in my iPad Air and a popup message appeared "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". OK, I did as instructed. I used the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then ran iTunes64Setup.exe. I brought up iTunes and got the same message. "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is nt installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes" In general, I have found the Apple software to be robust and reliable. This situation however is very disappointing. I am hoping that someone has an answer that I can use to resolve my problem.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

computer = Mac PowerPC G5
OS = 10.4.11
Adobe Acrobat 7
HP laserjet M1212nf
I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
Adobe PDF 7.0
New HP Printer
I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.
