Exclude expired accounts in user profile synchronization

Hi
I would like to exclude the expired accounts from the AD import in SharePoint 2013 user profile sync.
I managed to exclude disabled accounts using userAccountControl bit equals on 2.
Could you please suggest on how the exclusion filter can be used to exclude expired accounts.
Thanks.

Hi,
When you say "expired accounts", do you mean the accounts with expired password? If that is the case, you could use
userAccountControl Bit on equals 24 in exclusion filter.
If not, let me know what do you mean by "expired accounts".

After deleting user account / Unknown user is shown in information ...

After having some troubles with my account, I tried to get rid of it by deleting this account.
So I first edited a new one and after all I removed the old one.
Since this moment I have an UNKNOWN USER without having read/write-priviliges to my disk.
Unfortunately this user is not removable.
Does someone having this problem too?
Some hints about this matter?

Exactly what did you do to remove your old account? I hope you didn't just drag it to the Trash. If so then you don't have an account because dragging the old Home folder to the Trash is not how you remove an account.
You say you "edited" a new account. How did you do this?

Email account unknown user ?server error.

When I email my daughter's .mac account, I get a server reject user is unkonown message on my iPhone. My Imac simply wont send to it. When I check her icloud account it says she has all three account extensions active (.mac, .me, .icloud) and verified.
Im absolutely stuck. I believe it is an issue on the server end.

Call your email provider or check the provider's web site for the correct settings. Ensure you are using the correct credentials for the email server you are trying to connect to.

Accessing an Unknown User account

Sorry if this is covered I could only find how to get rid on them and I need to access them not get rid of them.
I had a system crash with a blue screen. When it came back there was only a temp profile loading. In System Properties
under the tab Advanced button User Profiles
I have two Unknown Users listed with sizes listed.There is no folder for them under Users nor a listing in the system management in control panel. I cannot find these anywhere I could access them to pull files.
After some time I switched her to a local profile because of size limitations on the server and letting the profile rebuilt from the server copy I found that a large chunk of profile went missing. I believe it is in one of these two "Account Unknown"
users that show in the accounts list where you set to local accounts.
Problem I have is I don't have a profile folder to pull from. Yet I see this large profile listed.
My question is there any way I can get into that profile to retrieve those missing files? I have been reading posts about this for days and they are all what are these profiles and how do I make them go away. Well I need into them.
Hope you can help,
thank you,
Ric

I have tried a data recovery software. I have Data Rescue. It finds all sorts of deleted files. the problems are I have no idea if they are from the missing profile. reason being the profile was not deleted be someone it was dumped after a system crash and
was gone from the user folder after a reboot from a bluescreen. Now you can see them here and I really need to access them in the profile's structure as it was on the system IE the desktop and DOCUMENT folders and so on.
Now does someone know how to do that? I have a screen shot but I have to wait to show it. well the profile the unknown is listed as 2.3GB.
Also if the fix need to run in other OS I can make it work I'm good a few different ones.
Thank you anyone that can help.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am not technologically savvy as a result I'm having trouble understanding previous posts on "The user profile service service failed to logon user profile cannot be loaded." Lingo on domain reset etc, not sure that this pertains to solving my issue
... I cant even get pass the sign in page let alone make changes. I am having this issue with my Dell Studio XPS 1340 with Windows 7 Home Premium. If anyone can provide their two cents I would greatly appreciate.
Very Respectfully,
Jesse
Home Premium cannot logon to a Domain, nor can it be set to try it.
when you get the logon window, try hitting the three-finger salute )Ctrl+Alt+Del) twice – it may bring up the old-style login window – enter your credentials there.

Unable to see Active Directory Groups in the User Profile Database after Profile Import

***Major Update - I have finally been able to get the direct attention of the folks responsible for the User Profile Service on the SharePoint Product Team. Long story short, they have reproduced the error and identified as an actual mistake
that needs to be fixed, so it is now officially in the bug pipeline and will be fixed. The current estimate is some time in the summer. They will keep me updated with timeframes, which I am allowed to share as time goes on.
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise RTM. W2K8R2 w/multi-server setup:
AD/DNS
SQL 2008
WFE
APP
Claims Mode Web App only using Windows Integrated Auth
So, this was never a problem in 2007, and I didn't even realize it was a problem in 2010 until I started to build a solution that utilized my blog article:
InfoPath - User Roles in Browser-Enabled Forms Using AD Groups. I went to utilize the same web method of the same web service, but I noticed that no data was showing up at all. Typically,
the GetUserMembership/GetCommonMembership methods return the specified user's memberships: AD Security Groups, AD Distribution Lists, and SharePoint Sites (not SharePoint Groups, though).
My user profile sync is working. All AD users are pulled in with the proper profile data.
"Users and Groups" is selected in the Synchronization Entities section of my Sync Settings.
Security groups are working for permissions and audience targeting. Confirmed my users are affected properly by the use of Security Groups.
My query to the GetUserMemberships web method (and GetCommonMemberships) is running (not failing), but it's not returning anything even though my user is in some Security Groups and has explicit membership to multiple sites.
The GetUserProfileByName method of the same UserProfileService.asmx web service
returns all the regular profile data like expected, so the web service works and my profile database is populated
Basically, I'm not seeing my AD groups or any membership data populated in the profile database. I did use MIISCLIENT.exe to see what I could find, and here is what I saw:
Using the Metaverse Search, I searched for the "person" type and saw all of the users in my profile sync connection (single OU)
Using the same tool, I searched for the "group" type and saw nothing, but the message said 4 items were retrieved
I realized that the only column showing was displayName, and they were blank, so I added other columns to be sure
objectGUID, objectType, distinguishedName all showed values, and I could now see all the Security Groups from the OU where I'm doing my profile sync
My "person" objects all have displayNames showing but none of the groups do. In SharePoint, the GetUserMemberships method relies on displayName and accountName, but neither are coming through the profile import
So, it does seem like the groups are coming in with the profile import, but I can't see them. I also can't verify that the groups are being associated with my users in the profile database, because doing a query to the membership methods returns nothing...not
even blank rows.
***Edit: New information! Regular AD Distribution Lists _do_ work properly. I just never bothered testing them until folks on my blog notified me. DLs come through the profile sync, are visible in the profile database, and show up
when using the GetUserMemberships method.
***Edit: Ok, now we're getting somewhere. I checked my last profile sync with the MIISCLIENT, and this is what I found:
Here are the properties of my Distribution List:
Here are the properties of my Security Group:
Notice that the groupType value of the DL is a normal integer (2), but the groupType value of the SG is some crazy negative number. Both types are still lacking DisplayNames for some reason, but when I retrieve the DL via GetUserMemberships, it DOES
show the proper DisplayName despite nothing showing in the MIISCLIENT.

Hello Clayton,
I have same problem with SP 2010 and now I am testing SP 2013 and seems that the problem still.aa
Probably I have some configuration problem, but all seems work, except this.
SharePoint 2013 has no improvements on this. Until seeing this thread, I thought it was an issue within my farm configuration or AD Service account for User Profile Sync. And I've dug far and wide for any other possible settings which would prevent users
from populating in the site people-picker. This might be flagged as off-topic, but I'll beg differ. How can I expect SharePoint to retrieve AD Users and Groups for accuracy in the sites which rely on this server??? Frustrating. I've spent hours and days on
this! I have 3 SP2013 farms with multiple clients (different OU's/containers and security groups). Testing in a separate QA DEV farm with the same config. NO luck yet!
This is where I'm at with it (posted this as a question recently on SharePoint Stack Exchange):
"Help.... Please.... Users from AD groups are not populating in the site people picker. I've set up a SharePoint 2013 site collection permissions group with only AD groups in it, no users added directly. Whether or not I give this SharePoint group permissions
to the site content, I still get none of the AD users showing up in the people picker. I have done the iisreset after adding the groups.
I've checked all of the people picker properties in stsadm to be sure there are no constraints in effect on the web app or site collections. User profiles are synching and I've tried both AD import and User Profile Sync. The AD groups are security
groups, though not email-enabled. The AD service account has all the special permissions. My web app is claims based. My app pool runs with Network Service account. No policies in place to restrict users, checked CA and the site collection settings.
What am I missing? I've read in multiple places that this is a supported/working config. So why can't I get these users to populate in people picker for things like Assigned To in a tasks list, or attendees of an event? "
There is some pretty good insight here, but no real hope:
User profile
synchronization: importing users and security groups in SharePoint 2010
Other Properties that I checked, before realizing this was an issue with the Profile Import...
stsadm -o getproperty -pn siteuseraccountdirectorypath -url https://URL
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-activedirectorysearchtimeout -url https://URL
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-distributionlistsearchdomains -url https://URL

stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -url https://URL
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-serviceaccountdirectorypaths -url https://URL
Hope we find a better answer, as it IS very misleading. User Profile Import specifies Users, or Users and Groups. Nothing is said about Containers or Distribution Groups, worse yet there lacks any clear disclosure about how "Groups" will not
actually import if they are a Global Security Group and the users contained within them exclusively will NOT be included in your profiles,
nor in any compiled Audiences. Which was another BIG bummer!
I'm hoping to see future improvements on the Group imports.

Account unknown in user profiles

On all our domain controllers (server 2003 R2 and 2008) we have found an "account unknown" listed under My computer-properties advance-user profiles-settings. My
concern is that the Account Unknown profiles shows under all our Domain Controllers in the aforementioned place and it shows that that particular profiles is still being access. By being access I mean that the “Modified” date shows that it was
modified just a few days ago, and it changes a couple of days. Also, the option to delete the account is grayed out and I can not find any orphaned profiles under documents and Settings.
What I need to know is if that profile is being use by some system account, or have the servers been compromised.
Any assistance or clarification of this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
A possible cause of the “Account Unknown” profile is that the domain account that the profile is mapped to was deleted but the profile was
not able to be deleted because some applications or services have open handle on the file. That’s also one of the reasons that the option to delete the account is grayed out.
I suggest that you have a look at the subkeys under HKEY_USERS key and check if there is any user has been deleted. The HKEY_USERS key lists all profiles
that are currently loaded on the computer. The PsGetSid utility (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897417.aspx) can help you translate SIDs to their display name.
Meanwhile, you’d better perform a full virus scan to ensure that the computer is not infected by virus.

Cannot add/ change user account - error with Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service

Hello
A few days ago my computer went wierd.
I cannot update windows because I get no results when I use "Windows Search"
My metro UI doesnt work properly. I cannot use it.
Somebody said that it could be that my User Account could be corrupted.
I tried to create I new one, but I could do the first steps, because the computer doesnt respond when I click "Change my account" in controlpanel.

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.

Unknown user account

I have Windows7 RC on my system, earlier i had windows xp SP2. Recently i noticed an unknown user account (S-1-5-21-XXXXX......) in the security tab of few of the folders/files. But this user does not show up in the local user group in the control panel. Any idea what this account is and how to remove it?

I know this thread is 4 years old, but there doesnt seem to be a better one so I'll respond here.
This is actually pretty easy to fix (really! like 30 sec).
Right click on the root drive
go to security
click advanced
tick @"replace all child..." at the bottom and then
change the owner at the top (even if you have the right owner for this object)
pick a new owner (eg your admin)
now back at the advanced security settings screen tick "replace owner on subcontainers"
make sure youve got the right level of access (eg full control)
click apply
wait. :)

Domain User Profiles Unknown??

I have 6 Panasonic Toughpads and when plugged directly into the network they work fine. However, when disconnected from the network, they will only log into the last user account signed in. when I go to user profiles when connected to the network it shows
all the user accounts. When I check user profiles while disconnected from the network it shows all profiles as unknown except for the one account I am logged into and the local account on the computer. if I log off after disconnecting the network and try to
login as someone different it works but if i restart and try to login as someone else it says there are currently no logon servers available, I have to plug into the network sync the profiles and login then again. if i break from the network i cant login as
any other profile until back on the network. Why aren't the profiles saving?

Hi TOLITdept,
We wonder if you are the administrator of your domain.
"Account Unknown" means that the SID the profile has no longer in Active Directory and some applications or services have open handle on the file; or more simply, the user has been deleted from AD. It is by design. In your case obviously the first
reason. After restart these account would need be re-verified by domain controller.
And if you are damain administrator, you also could check if any related group policy has been applied.

The CSCup62113 bug also removes Personal Conferencing accounts from disabled users' profiles

It has been confirmed that the CSCup62113 bug that has been confirmed in MR4 (CWMS version 2.0.1.407B) also removes Personal Conferencing accounts from disabled users' profiles, if CWMS has been configured for synchronization with CUCM/LDAP. There is no way to restore the Personal Conferencing accounts; all affected end users need to be notified that their Personal Conferencing accounts and PINs need to be manually re-created (with host/participant codes being re-generated).

How to restore user profiles

By mistake I deleted my user profile, so now when I turn on my machine I get a generic profile that doesn't have any of the programs that I prevously installed. I have the folder marked deleted user, but I don't know how to make it work. Can someone help me with this? When I look up users in the knowledged base it only explains how to delete users, not to restore them.

Open the Deleted User Folder and verify that the contents are your old account (BTW these are "accounts" not "profiles.") It's been some time since I've used Jaguar, but I believe you can re-activate a deleted account if it hasn't been erased from the drive and is still located in the Users folder.

Hi Ychinnari,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, as
Vaishu00547 mentioned that the issue can be caused by the Execution Account you have configured in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not correct, Please update the Username and Password and restart the reporting services.
Please also find more details information about when to use the execution account, if possible,please also not specify this account:
This account is used under special circumstances when other sources of credentials are not available:
When the report server connects to a data source that does not require credentials. Examples of data sources that might not require credentials include XML documents and some client-side database applications.
When the report server connects to another server to retrieve external image files or other resources that are referenced in a report.
Execution Account (SSRS Native Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
