The user does not exist or is not unique - workflow problem

I am using Solution Starters Dynamic Management workflow on my Project Server 2010. I was working fine for a year now, but today all workflows were broken when someone tried to submit them to a next stage. "Workflow terminated. An error has occurred
in the workflow."
I tried debbuging the workflow and it seems to be OK, but the problem appears when it needs to assign tasks to the approvers (they are in the Approvers group). When I remove users from the group that represents approvers (and leave that group empty), it
works fine, so I am guessing that users (who need to approve the stage) are the problem. My administrators are saying that there were no updates or changes on AD machine.
I don't have problem with users in any of people picker fields or anywhere else on the site. I am using claims auth.
What could be the reason for this behavior??
These are main errors from the log:
Failed to persist workflow instance: 7dc2e035-cd02-4284-b851-a829e372a809 with error code: 5, instance data size: 29578, internal state: Running, processing id: 1e2211d2-ef7b-4416-90ef-ac041396c200   2f83db27-34da-4275-a42e-0625240af921
The user does not exist or is not unique.
WinWF Internal Error, terminating workflow Id# 7dc2e035-cd02-4284-b851-a829e372a809

at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutorDelegateInfo`1.ActivityExecutorDelegateOperation.Run(IWorkflowCoreRuntime workflowCoreRuntime)     at System.Workflow.Runtime.Scheduler.Run()

It appears that this isn't the problem with users, but it is a problem with Office Tasks. This is the main error in ULS logs (same as in the previous post):
"Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: additionalNodes"
I noticed that all content types are gone from my pwa site. Is it possible that my workflow is causing problems when adding tasks because somebody deleted all content types??

Error: The user does not exist or is not unique - when setting permission programmatically

Hi,
I am custom Sequential workflow in which I am breaking the permission and setting permission to list item.
I have used the below code for setting Permission:
SPRoleDefinition oSPRoleDefinition = oSPWeb.RoleDefinitions["RoleName"];
//Grant permission to Manager
SPRoleAssignment oSPRoleAssignmentManager = new SPRoleAssignment(strManagerLanID, strManagerEmail, "", "");
oSPRoleAssignmentManager.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(oSPRoleDefinition);
CurrentListItem.RoleAssignments.Add(oSPRoleAssignmentManager);
I am getting the error as :
Error: The user does not exist or is not unique.
How to fix this?
Thanks

I think you misunderstood the solution proposed by frederic, what he is suggesting is that the error doesn't come from your code but from the user account
have you tried with another account ? (maybe the one you are using to log to your environment)
With this information, it will help us to know if the problem comes from your code or from the user account

The 'c' XUSER key for the DBM user does not exist or could not be identified

Hello members,
I am getting this message 'The 'c' XUSER key for the DBM user does not exist or could not be identified' in SUM preparation phase while upgrading SOLMAN from 7.01 to 7.1
Does anyone has any idea on this. What steps need to be followed for this.
My DB is MaxDB.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Hello,
Figured out the problem. Actually SAP System was moved from actual server to Virtual machine on the server. In this process some of the DB configuration got corrupted. And this activity was done by one of our previous employee.
Since this was a standalone system, I took backup of all current configuration and uninstalled SAP and installed new Solman 7.1 SPS12. Issue is resolved now.
Best Regards,
Srikanth

Error when opening indd-file: Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the...

Hi! I'm having trouble opening a indd-file. It was sent to me as a zip-fil along with the used fonts and links. When I try to open the file, I'm getting this error: "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application". I've tried to look up this error both here in these forums and through google, but can't find a similar case. Hope someone can help me with this. Please let me know if you need more information/details, and I'll provide. Thanks!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm suspecting it to come from a mac user, if that could influence the case...
It does come from a Mac, as is proven by the fonts, which are of no use on my Windows machine, but that doesn't prevent my CS4 to open it without any problem. It seems to me it's a perfectly regular CS2 file.
Just for cheers I set the file to Read-only, but my InDesign opens it regardless (again as a copy, because it's a "converted" file).
Could it be something in your environment? No network read/write privileges, insufficient free hard disk space, stuff like that?

Disk " disk " does not exist or is not instantiated after reboot the server

Hi,
I have one issue with 11gR2 cluster. I have 2 node cluster on CentOS 5.5. I am using HP MSA 1000 storage LUNs and create disk group and volume for RAC setup in openfiler.
The whole setup was running fine but before few days some one has recreate the database [clusterDB] using control file. I can see this from alter.log file of "oracle" user. And somehow one node is not able to up and running.
I have no idea what is going on so just restart both the nodes and storage one by one.
After restarting I can not view my ASM disk from /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks.
EvenI can not see the ASMdisk from /dev/oracleasm/disks... also I try to querydisk it showing that "Disk "<diskname>" does not exist or is not instantiated"
From the master node I can see the cluster registry configuration through "ocrcheck -config"
*./ocrcheck -config*
Oracle Cluster Registry configuration is :
Device/File Name : +ACFSDG
from the slave when I run the ocrcheck ...it gives error
PROT-602: Failed to retrieve data from the cluster registry
PROC-26: Error while accessing the physical storage ASM error [SLOS: cat=8, opn=kgfolclcpi1, dep=210, loc=kgfokge
AMDU-00210: No disks found in diskgroup ACFSDG
AMDU-00210: No disks found in diskgroup ACFSDG
] [8]
Any idea what is the cause behind this? There are many errors in $GRID_HOME/log/<hostname>.log file and other referring file. I might be sure that until I enable the ASMDISK/detect the ASMDISK I can not start crs...
Shall I try with restore operation of OCR or replace option in ./ocrcheck...will it usefull?
Let me know if you have already face this issue.
Thanks...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have "/dev/sd*" in my both the RAC nodes and on storage machine it was showing as "/dev/dm-*" whenever I run " fdisk -l " command... and I did this through iscsi initiatior and target and also create "Create Persistent Local SCSI Device Names ".
I also create one script "iscsidev.sh" in /etc/udev and it was perfectly working. Before this issue I was restarted the server and confirm it.
script is below
==============
# FILE: /etc/udev/scripts/iscsidev.sh
BUS=${1}
HOST=${BUS%%:*}
[ -e /sys/class/iscsi_host ] || exit 1
file="/sys/class/iscsi_host/host${HOST}/device/session*/iscsi_session*/targetname"
target_name=$(cat ${file})
# This is not an open-scsi drive
if [ -z "${target_name}" ]; then
exit 1
fi
# Check if QNAP drive
check_qnap_target_name=${target_name%%:*}
if [ $check_qnap_target_name = "iqn.2004-04.com.qnap" ]; then
target_name=`echo "${target_name%.*}"`
fi
echo "${target_name##*.}"

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted when logging in through RDP. Server 2012/SBS 2007

I have a server 2012 machine running RDP and a PDC running SBS 2007. Every once a while all my users get an error saying "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted". After waiting ~5-10 minutes the issue resolves itself.
I believe it has something to do with the syncing between the two but am not 100% sure. Anyone know a fix or what I should look at?

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
After referring to your error, it seems to have DNS issue in your case which can’t locate the DC. Please check the setting related to DNS issue as following. (Below quoted from
this thread)
If this is the case, I would recommend proceeding like that:
1. Make sure that each DC has only one IP address in use and ONLY one NIC card enabled (Other NICs should be disabled)
2. Make sure that public DNS servers are configured as DNS forwarders and not in IP settings of DCs
3. Choose a healthy DC / DNS server and make each DC point to it as primary DNS server
4. Make each DC / DNS server point to its private IP address as secondary DNS server
5. Make sure that needed ports for AD replication are opened: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727063.aspx
6. Check your DNS zones and remove manually all obsolete / unused DNS records for DCs
Once done, run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon on each DC you have.
On the client computer, run ipconfig /flushdns and check again.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Hr_maintain_masterdata showing an infotype that the user does not have auth

subject: hr_maintain_masterdata showing an infotype that the user does not have authorisation for
Hi all,
I've a user account that's meant to perform staffing, based on the actual HR role. The system is also set up with an infogroup that contains infotypes 0000, 0001, 0006, 0185, XYZ and other infotypes; XYZ representing an actual infotype. The HR role is not supposed to have this infotype XYZ.
When PA40 is used, infotype XYZ will be skipped, as the user account do not have authorisation for it. I could then proceed to create the record.
When the fm: hr_maintain_masterdata is used, I was prompted that I do not have authorisation for infotype XYZ.
I have setup my fm with the mininum amount of values, as indicated below.
I did not populate a table for "proposed_values" so the infotypes called were due to the actions of the infogroup.
fm: hr_maintain_masterdata
pernr = 01234567
massn = 01          (new staff)
actio = INS          (insert record)
tclas = A          (master record)
begda = 01.09.2010
endda = 31.12.9999
werks = myCompanyPlant
dialog_mode = 2     (online)
luw_mode = 1          (commit, if no errors encountered)
no_existance_check = X
Q. Is there any way to let the function module call the infotypes, with authorisation checks, as what PA40 is doing?
Your guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
James Wong

A behaviour that has been observed was that, after infotype 0185 was saved, the function module throws me back to infotype 0000, citing, "No authorization to maintain XYZ exists". Data that I had populated to the screen, either via the FM or by manual input were cleared. If I skip the next 4 screens, I'll arrive at the Infotype after XYZ, with the data populated. Subsequent infotypes also have their data filled in.
Once I complete the sequence, the personnel record will be created. Upon examination, the frist 4 screens that were skipped in the 2nd pass contains data that were entered in the 1st pass.
My question, as posted in the original post, is why infotype XYZ is triggered by the function module, as the staffing account does not hae access for it. If I repeat the process using PA40, the infotype is skipped accordingly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
James Wong,

Can any one please help me.
Thank You,

Hello,
Have you tried it to execute on report manager , Is your data source properly configured in Report Manager and your report is mapped with Datset correctly?
Have you executed the Dataset query MDX editor now?
What is the volume of data you are fetching in the report. Try it to execute in other than IE , I don't know the exact reason but some of our report with large volume of data are failing on IE , on the other hand these reports are running fine Google

The material code does not exist or is not activated

Dear All,
I am using SAP ECC6. When I go through MM03 for certain material code, it gives the error: The material code does not exist or is not activated.
But this code exists in MARA. There seems to be no problem in the fields of MARA.
Where the problem can be?
Regds
Amit

do you know when and how the material was created?
Maybe the material is stored with a key that does not anymore fit to the customizing.
In SE16 in menu Settings > user parameter check if you have a flag in field conversion exit., if yes, then remove it and display this material along with other materials that you can access with MM03 in one list.
Check if the material number is different from the others (e.g. with or without leading zeros)

"the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

Dear Experts,
I made an installation of BPC 7.0 MS SP04 in a multiserver environment. Installation process terminated correctly. My installation user is a domain user, and he's also local Administrator on my Web/Application Server.
I simply want to add a domain user to my ApShell: so I log on to ApShell with my installation user, then I click to "add a new user".
When I try to click on "Available domain [domain name]" to see domain resources, popup appears with the following message: "the specified domain either does not exists or could not be contacted".
I cannot browse in to the domain!
Additional information:
1.The domain has been added from BPC server manager ->define system user group->domain
2.The BPC server are in the same domain to which this domain user belongs .
3. I can browse the domain resources with installation user from Appl/Web server using start->control panel-> Administrative tools-> Component Services->Active directory.
4. It's possible also add another domain user on the security of any folder.
5. I restarted COM+ application "OSoftUserManage"
6. We have another multi server installation in the same domain, the installation user is the same, there is no problem about AD browsing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dario

I opened a case with Microsoft and this problem has been fixed!
The issue was that I had both a Preferred DNS server (my local DNS server) and an Alternate DNS server (8.8.8.8, which I added for "good measure" in my ignorance) listed on the server. Removing the Alternate DNS server fixed the problem.
(Control panel/Network and Sharing Center/Change Adapter settings
Right click on your connection, choose properties.
Click on TCP/IPv4 (unless you are using IPv6...) and choose properties
Make sure there is only a Preferred DNS server listed.)
Why redundancy is not a good idea is a mystery to me, but in this case it isn't.

Adding to a task list - User does not exist or is not unique

We have SharePoint 2010 with a single web server front end and another server as the SQL server. When trying to add a task to a list or an announcement to a page, users are getting the error, "The user does not exist or is not unique."
I have searched diligently for an answer, but cannot find anything about this with regards to users getting the error.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

hello,
i have faced your problem few minutes ago. when i was trying to solve another problem
--->> (Object Cache: The super user account utilized by the cache is not configured) --> my current problem
i have found at search results the below PS command to configure super user and super reader.
$w = Get-SPWebApplication http://webapplicationlink
$w.Properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] = "domain account"
$w.Properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] = "domain account"
$w.Update()
but it caused me another problem which you are facing right now.
---> ( Error: The user does not exist or is not unique)
while adding any item to any list specially lists
then i have tried to rollback by doing the below PS command and it worked and solved it.
$w = Get-SPWebApplication http://webapplicationlink
$w.Properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] = ""
$w.Properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] = ""
$w.Update()
after that check for the super user and super reader by
Get-SPWebApplication | %{Write-Host "Web Application: " $_.url "`nSuper user: " $_.properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] "`nSuper reader: " $_.properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] "`n"}
This is the output for the above command should be like this.

hope that it helps :)

Feedback: Infering the user does not use Libraries

Infering the user is not actually using Libraries in Windows 10 - greatly optimizing the experience of opening Explorer
Feedback: If user does not have a collection of folders in any Library on install an algorithm in Windows 10 should automatically disable Libraries.
In that case Explorer > Folder Options > General > Navigation Pane > Show libraries should be automatically set to off when creating the user profile for the Windows 10 user for the first time.

I was facing the very same, when trying to sync my MS Project with SharePoint. On first sync between MSP and SP all the names I had assigned in the Project plan were not transferred to the SP list.
I tried to enter the names manually in the SP list (Current View: "Project Task"), but always got the message "The User does not exist or is not unique. Permissions to the SP site are ok and I tried users from different domains, all the same result.
When switching to the view "All Tasks" and edit the list item manually, it works w/o any issue. Not sure why, but at least a workaround for the 1st issue, even though one more step to add a user.
Now I added a few names which were not in my MSP plan before and syncing back did not work. Reason here is the differences of Regional settings. On SP name fields do apear e.g. like this: "Klick, Heiko ; Simpson, Bart". In MSP "Heiko Klick, Bart Simpson".
So in SP the field delimiter is ";" and per default in MSP ",". Once changing this in my local regional settings, the names are getting synced back.
The way you setup resources in MSP is important. When picking names from the Outlook Adress book they occur as e.g. "Bart Simpson" and I can not sync between MSP and SP. When picking the names from Active Directory they get added as "Simpson, Bart"
and everything works well.
I hope this will help others with the same issue.

while creating SAP ISU Device category EG01 .i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

Material - material code given by SAP
Plant - Plant code on which GR takes place.
Move_type - 101 because it is a GR

Not sure where I am going wrong.
Any help is highly appreciated.
