Removing short names from accounts, short names from accounts

I have noticed that short names seem to stick.  i.e. if there are two short names, and I log in as one of the two (with admin rights), then authenticate to the Open Directory master, the other short name refuses to be removed/edited.  What is going on here?

Hi
Assuming I've understood you correctly.
When you create a user the first shortname is automatically created as you're typing that name. Before you click Save you can amend that first shortname to something that suits your taste or needs. Once you click Save you can't amend or delete the first shortname. Even if you decide to change the User name (the long name) that first shortname won't change and can't be amended or deleted.
The only way to delete the first shortname is to delete the user and start again assuming you've made a mistake with the desired shortname and clicked Save before you decided the first shortname was not the one you wanted. You can create additional shortnames which can be edited and/or deleted at any time thereafter. What you can't do is delete the first shortname regardless of how ever many other short names you create.
If this is not what you meant and the above is not what you're experiencing and for lack of any further information I have to assume there's something wrong somewhere with either the server or the way you're using the tools to create those accounts?
HTH?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Somehow a new contact became associated with my email.  Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices.  I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

    Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
    If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Below is region in notification page.
    Field From is in Region: /oracle/apps/fnd/wf/worklist/webui/NtfDetailsAttr.leftTable
    Document Name /oracle/apps/fnd/wf/worklist/webui/NtfDetailsAttr

    String wfItemKey = sshrparams.getItemKey();

    wfClass.setItemAttrText(oapagecontext, wfItemType, wfItemKey,

  • Removing Checklist Name from Checklist Sheet

    Hi, I am trying to use the checklist template from Numbers in iWorks 08 as an inventory sheet. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove the word "Checklist" that appears at the top of the page. It is almost hidden behind the top of the columns while editing the sheet, although when I print the page I have the word "Checklist" printed above the header.
    Any ideas on removing this???

    Ok... I feel like an idiot. I will answer my own question in hopes that this saves someone else from having to ask.
    There is a checkbox all the way to the right on the toolbar called "Name" by removing the check from this box the name "Checklist" will be removed from the checklist sheet.

  • Removing my name from an Alias email

    I have been unable to remove my name from the "FROM" in outgoing emails. U have deleted my name in the "FROM" box in the preferences with no luck.
    Help...pf

    Open address book. Find your own card in address book. Check if this email address is on your own card. If so, you just get your name displayed, as you and this email-address is in address book. Simply delete the email-address from your card, and you shouldn't see your name in "From" any more.

  • How can I remove credit card from itunes account?

    How can I remove credit card from itunes account?

    I'm not home right now, so don't have iTunes here. I am basing this on having to do this a few days ago, as well as pictures from Google Images, so things may have different names now...
    Store (dropdown at top of iTunes screen)>View my account>Edit Payment Information>In the list of types of credit cards, the one at the far right says "None." Click that.

  • I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and  have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

    I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and  have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

    Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
    Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
    This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
    A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
    In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
    Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.

  • HT204053 how do i remove photo's from my icloud account

    how do i remove photo's from my icloud account

    If you mean from photo stream, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.  This deletes them from photo stream and from any devices syncing with your photo stream.
    If you want to delete them all, you can go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click on your name at the top, click on Advanced, then tap Reset Photo Stream.

  • HT4207 how can I remove a specific gmail account from my ipad 4?

    How can I remove a specific Gmail account from my ipad 4?

    Assuming you are not syncing with iCloud and you mean, syncing with iTunes only...(you can only use one or the other for syncing to prevent duplicates)
    iTunes -
    - Open iTunes on your Mac. Connect your iPad. Then click on your iPad (either its name or just "iPad"), then click the info tab (right above the photo of an iPad in the middle). From here you can select sync contacts, then sync groups, and select the groups you want and choose Apply/Sync in the bottom left corner.
    iCloud -
    - With iCloud if you just sign into iCloud in System Preferences and turn on Contacts, it will prompt to merge all of your contacts that are not already syncing with Gmail or Yahoo!, etc. so there really isnt a way to pick and choose as much with that.
    - However if you really want to use iCloud and not iTunes, you could import the contacts that you want into iCloud.com, but you would need to export them from your Contacts App on your Mac and then import them into iCloud (VCard / .VCF is the format you want).
    * Exporting the contacts from your Mac Contacts Application --> http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/app-training/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to -contacts-on-os-x/ (further down the page)
    *Importing contacts into iCloud.com - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605
    **NOTE - Remember if you do the import into iCloud.com method, DO NOT sign into System Preferences > iCloud, and choose to MERGE contacts. If you do this later, all of your contacts will merge with iCloud and you will have duplicates of this group.
    I hope this isnt too confusing. Have a good night!
