Trying to identify what to change for user who has permissions on a library but gets no search results from the library

We are running SP 2010 service pack 2.
Search is working for people in general.
Yesterday user Y asked me why they (user Y) does not get results when they search for documents in the library. They get results back when searching other libraries.
The library has a limited number of users who can access.
The user is explicitly added to the library's permissions with Read permission.
When I look inside the library at specific documents, the user is listed as having Contribute,Limited Access privs on each document.
As an admin, I have accessed the site and performed searches and gotten results. Others on the site with various permissions get results back.
So it appears that search is working.
What other things can I check - via powershell perhaps - to help identify and resolve user Y's dilemma?

What we found is this.
At the site level, only 4 users have access. At the library level, 3 more users were added directly and given read permission.
These three users could see the contents of the library, read the documents of the library, but when they attempted to search the library, got "Access Denied".
I was able to negotiate for a resolution of this problem for us to create a new SharePoint group for the site, give it Read permissions,
and add that group to the library permissions. I informed the owner that he could check other libraries and lists and remove that group if there were things there that should not be accesible.
I also warned him that if he were to put something confidential in, say, the announcements section, he would need to remove the group from that list as well if he didn't want the people to see that.
So, the users now can see the results page, which is returned as a URL immediately under the site.
There were a couple other work arounds that we could have tried - moving the shared library to its own subsite with different permissions than the parent site, or having the users use the enterprise search and to refine the results down to the specific library.
Thank you for your question!.

Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command. The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
it is a simple command.
Comments appreciated.
side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included. In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
Steps are:
Download the Office deployment tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
example we will use the \\server\sharename
location.
Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
(on single line)
Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library.

Custom Auto Attendant Prompts through TUI not working for users who migrated from 2010 to 2013

In Exchange 2010, we started using unified messaging and set up Auto Attendants. We setup a admin role/RBAC for people of a security group to be able to update the message on the auto attendants. They have the UMPrompts assigned role. All of this is working
great in 2010. We have now migrated to 2013, and the users who were migrated from 2010 to 2013 can no longer update the messages through TUI. Newly created 2013 users can and are assigned the EXASCT same permission as the users who have been doing this for
well over a year on 2010. When they call the AA and press #,* they are asked to provide their extension, after doing so the system tells them that extension is not correct. and asks for the extension again. Newly created users with the same permissions
get prompted for their PIN and can log in and change the message just fine.
Confirmed Bug? anybody else having this issue?
What would be different for this process between a user who was migrated from a previous version like 2010 compared to a newer user who has only ever existed on 2013?

What if the migrated 2010 users are in the same DB as the system mailbox? I had a similar issue during a migration; http://www.skypeadmin.com/2014/11/10/known-issue-um-automated-attendant-tui-editing-broken-migration/

How to identify the user who has created accounts,lead, Opp in portal

Hi experts,
I am working in CRM 5.0 now i want to know the user who has created a particular account, Lead, and opportunity in Portal not in GUI kindly give some inputs regarding this .
Thanks in advance
Amar

Hi Frederic,
Thanks for your reply.
But is there any way by which we can make it happen in PCUI.
The customer is very particular about it. They use only PCUI to create new accounts and they want a facility to view change history in PCUI Account Application itself. They are not interested to go back to GUI to know change history for that BP.
We have just checked whether any related BSP structures containing change fields are assigned to COMM_BUPA but not successful.
Kindly help with a possible solution.

Amar

CSV file for users who have one-time password email address

Hi Guys,
I am trying to extract the list of users who have one-time password email address in FIM or users who have registered with one-time password reset authentication workflow. I need to get their email addresses in CSV file.

Take a look at:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3616.how-to-use-powershell-to-export-all-users-who-have-registered-for-self-service-password-reset-sspr.aspx
The script queries a WorkFlow called "Password Reset AuthN Workflow" and returns its ObjectID, then uses it to do a new query searching for "Users" with these parameters:
AuthN WorkFlow Registered = ObjectID of "Password Reset AuthN Workflow"
The script exports these details to a CSV.
Also, all OTP email addresses should be stored in the "msidmOneTimePasswordEmailAddress" attribute in the FIM Portal.

How to get a list of Local Users who has not logged in for 3 months or around 90 days

hi
i found this thread to pull out a list of local users
Retrieve all local user accounts information on remote computers (PowerShell)
however, i need to filter out users who has not logged in for 3 months or around 90 days, how can i do further filtering?
i understand dsquery has an -inactive <xweeks> , however i am doing it for local accounts

$ErrorActionPreference = "silentlycontinue"
$([ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME").Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user' -and $_.lastLogin -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)} | ft name,lastlogin
using the sample from the link extendend with the 90 days criteria, the erroraction preference surpresses the errors you get for accounts with no lastlogon value (guest being a typical one)
