Run the below Powershell Script for users are exist or not in AD. Later you can create the users.
#Find Users exist in AD or Not?
#Biswajit Biswas
$users = get-content c:\users.txt
foreach ($user in $users) {
$User = Get-ADUser -Filter {(samaccountname -eq $user)}
If ($user -eq $Null) {"User does not exist in AD ($user)" }
Else {"User found in AD ($user)"}

Sharepoint 2013 - Active Directory Import User Profile Property manager fields

Hi there,
I juste encountered actually a little issue regarding the Active Directory Import User Profil.
Importation seems to work well but I have a little problem regarding the Manager field.
When I verify a user profil through the sharepoint admin page ("Manage user profil") , I can see the manager field is correctly populated, but if I want to check my profil as a user (personal information), the manager field is not visible.
With Sharepoint Admin and Manage Profil Properties, I haven't the possibility to modify some settings for the manager.
For example, Policy parameters is greyed.
The only way I found to show this field in a user profil is to give the permission "allow users to Edit values ...".... setting I don't want to set.
Have you already this sort of issue ?
Thanks for your help/idea.

Hi Michael,
I don't remember well what I did exactly regarding this issue because I played a lot with user profil.
I know I used this powershell script from Sheyia which in fact help me a lot to clean and create a good profil setting.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sheyia/archive/2013/10/09/sharepoint-2013-another-way-to-change-order-for-user-profile-properties-via-powershell.aspx

Let-me know if it help you (or not of course)

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?
change in sharepoint scripts not require compilation but anything else?

Yes, PowerShell is great, since you can quick change your code without compilation.
SP admin can write ps scripts without specific tools like Visual Studio.
With powershell you can use cmdlets,
which could remove a lot of code, for example restarting a service.

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

What is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook air

what is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook.
Access sharepoint from a mapped drive is really slow, so I want to save my files locally and synchronise with Sharepoint 2010.
Is there an application or client for this.

Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

Powershell script for removing some users from a particular Site Collection

Hi,
I am looking for a PowerShell script to delete a few users from a particular Site Collection. I am unable to delete them from/_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx page therefore need some other medium to
delete users from the site collection.
My ultimate aim is to have no user profile with "tp_deleted" field's value as 0 in the USERINFO table. Currently there are about 40 odd users with this field's value as 0 and this is affecting my crawling of this content database.

Thanks for the reply Alex & eHaze,
I have a content source of root site which crawls all the site collections under it. Out of the 9 site collections, only 8 are getting crawled and 1 doesn't get crawled at all. The error in the crawl logs is
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when requesting data from the web service. ( Error from SharePoint site: Value does not fall within the expected range. )
I tried a lot of things, searched over the net and finally found
this which helped me solve the same issue in my development environment. I deleted these users from userInfo table and ran a full crawl. And the issue was fixed.
Now since I cannot delete the users from userInfo table directly from PROD environment, I used .../_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx list
to delete users from this site collection. While some of the users I could delete, quite a few I could not. Clicking on the profile redirected me to the home page rather than the info page of the profile.
This
is why I have to delete these users from the site collection.
Alex - the link you shared, I guess it is for a web application level.
eHaze - the script you shared throws this error:
Get-SPSite : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url: http://dev-apps/divisions/BT. At C:\PowerShell Scripts\DeleteUserFromSiteCollection1.ps1:4 char:19
+ $site = get-spsite <<<< $siteURL

hope this info helps.

Sharepoint 2013 ADFS Integration duplicates User Profiles for each Authentication Type

Hello everyone
i am building up a sharepoint farm which is hosting some of our corporate web sites. before integration Adfs and using SAML-Based Authentication every user had a single User Profile and were happy.
when i integrated adfs 3.0 and sharepoint 2013 SP1 i found whoun a user logs into sharepoint by using trusted identity token issuer (adfs 3.0) they get redirected to a new profile which is totally different from their old Profile. what is the problem ?

The problem is that SharePoint does not support Multilogon accounts. I asked for that here -
http://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/282887-customer-feedback-for-sharepoint-server/suggestions/7085002-multilogon-accounts
If you're just moving to ADFS only, then you can migrate users with Convert-SPWebApplication -

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

Running Exchange 2010 PowerShell Scripts

Hello,
I have a PowerShell Script which calls PSSnapins for Exchange tools. The Exchange Management Tools are installed on the Tidal Server
The Script works fine by itself, I have executed it as the tidal users on the Tidal Server. I have also created a batch file to execute the Powershell script, which also works on the tidal server.
However when I run the job in Tidal it doesn't run correctly by that I mean it will run the none Exchange pieces. In the Output tab it shows:
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010' is not installed on this machine.
At E:\PowerShell\DailyChecks\Dag_daily.ps1:7 char:13
+ Add-PSSnapin <<<< Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.Excha...owerShell.E2
   010:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Ad
   dPSSnapinCommand
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Support' is not installed on this machine
These Scripts also work via Windows Task Scheduler as written I would really like to get these to work in Tidal. We are Tidal 5.3.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have struggled with a similar issue with Sharepoint snapin with performing a backup
I can give a couple of suggestions
Add snapin to default profiles
We also see a difference in 64 vs 32 bit oprerations
we had to add to both versions using a local profile.ps1 and adding a line
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
Execute remotely
Slightly different setup on our side
I am trying to invoke-command on the remote sharepoint server =
( you have to set up psremoting, etc)
Invoke-Command -ComputerName -scriptblock { E:\Backup\BackupSite.ps1}
Similarly I can execute the backup.ps1 with no issue on the server but can't from the tidal job.
I'll let you know if we find a fix
I am thinking double hop at this point and need to trust for delegation, etc

Exception thrown while enumerating UserProfileManager for user profile

Hello All,
We have a SharePoint 2010 Timer Job in which access User Profile Service Application and update user profile properties of some the users. This user profiles is synched with AD.
We have following lines of code here:
SPServiceContext context =
SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
UserProfileManager profileManager =
new UserProfileManager(context);
int
count = profileManager.Count
//This line works OK
foreach (UserProfile userProfile
in profileManager) //This throws exception at first loop
When we start looping through the
UserProfileManager instance in above lines of code it throws following exception:
System.TimeoutException at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileDBCacheServiceClient.GetUserData(UserSearchCriteria searchCriteria)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileCache.GetBulkUserProfiles(UserProfileManager objManager, String searchColumn, IList searchList, Boolean includeNullsForUnresolvableUsers, Int64& lFailedCount)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileCache.GetBulkUserProfiles(UserProfileManager objManager, List`1 userIdList, Boolean includeNullsForUnresolvableUsers, Int64& lFailedCount)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileEnumerator`1.PopulateUserProfileQueue(IList userSearchList)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileEnumerator`1.PopulateQueue()
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileEnumerator`1.MoveNext()
One point to note here is that we have almost 50,000 user profiles in total. This exception is thrown intermittently, I mean in the last 10 days it has happened thrice.
It will be great if someone can help me out on this. Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Thanks

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered User Profile time out issue.
First of all, please confirm that related service and service application are at started status on all servers.
User Profile time out issue might be caused by several reasons, as you said the issue is generated intermittently, there might be networking issue as well. So please check ULS log for related error message.
