[Urgent]Accidently disabled shared mailbox (multiple users)

I am a beginner and accidently run "Remove-Mailbox..." instead of "Set-Mailbox..." while modifying user's access to a shared mailbox. Now I want to know, since multiple users had access to the shared mailbox, do we need to provide access
to every user on the shared mailbox again, after reconnecting the shared mailbox to the account ?
I am working on exchange server 2010.
Thanks in advance..

Hi ,
I hope below mentioned points will help you to resolve this issue.
Please do this first in your test environment before get in to production.
On my side i would assume like you are having windows server 2008 R2 active directory environment with recycle bin enabled otherwise you have to do authoritative restore in active directory to get back the deleted user account in active directory .
Step 1:
First you need to restore the active directory account with the help of recycle bin feature in active directory .
As per my knowledge ,recycle bin feature will help us to retain the same permissions on other resources and group membership when the deleted account is been recovered .
Note :From windows server 2008 R2 on wards recycle bin feature is available ,once you enable that you cannot able to disable the feature so please think twice before doing any changes on recycle bin .Same time you need ensure the required functional levels
are present in active directory for enabling the recycle bin.
Reference Article for Recycle Bin in Active directory :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/08/27/the-ad-recycle-bin-understanding-implementing-best-practices-and-troubleshooting.aspx
Step 2: Then you need to reconnect the shared mailbox from the exchange disconnector container to the restored account in active directory.
Note : Suddenly deleted mailbox will not show on the exchange disconnected container So we need to use the below commands to update the exchange databases .
Commands :
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database MDB02 | ForEach { Update-StoreMailboxState -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -Confirm:$false }
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database MDB02 | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -ne $null } | ForEach { Update-StoreMailboxState -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -Confirm:$false }
Please reply me if you have any queries .
Regards

File sharing with multiple users on one Mac

I have two Macs, both of which ca seen each other across the network. My question regards file sharing with multiple users on the same computer. When file sharing, are the files from all users available across the network, or just those of the user presently logged in? The issue is that I am trying to access files from a user who isn't currently logged in, but another user on that computer is. I need to get into that person's documents, but I don't see a way to navigate to their documents folder.

Right, I got that. But the computer is in constant use by User A, while I need access to User B's files. I could need access at anytime, and it would be a pain to make User A log off and log in as User B everytime. I was just wondering if there is anyway to access User B's files in this situation, without logging User B in.

File sharing across multiple user accounts on the same machine

Hello,
I try to figure out how multiple users (my wife and I) on the same mac can have equal access to files on the local drive without granting that access to all users on that machine or even the rest of the world.
My research sofar hasn't come up with a satisfying solution. Here are the solutions that I am looking at:
1. Enable a permission system that ensures access to both users in all cases (file/directory creation, copy and move).
I only found a suitable solution for creating and copying files/directories but not for moving them.
See the following articles for reference:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20787617#20787617 Setting up a shared structure that works e.g. for iPhoto Library but not for moving files to and from
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4005647#4005647 Helpful information on POSIX Permissions, ACL's an Permission inheritance
This would be my first choice if I can get around the problem of moving files...
2. Disk Image
Create a disk image which ignores persmissions and set permissions for the file that contains the image instead.
Read this article to get further details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
This solution will work but has a few disadvatages:
There's no mutual access from multiple user accounts since an image may only be mounted by one user at a time.
One has to create a startup script that mounts the image upon login which would create a first come first serve for access to the image content.
3. Using a file sharing protocol (e.g. afp or smb) locally.
The idea behind it is to have a server providing the files mutually to multiple users one the same machine. At them moment this seems to be the most promising approach to me.
Unfortunately I can get acces from another machine but not from the same machine. Has anyone ever tried to access the file sharing (afp or smb) from the same machine on which the server is located?
Has anyone got some helpful hints for me?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but you didn't specify details, and it was worth checking whether or not you had overlooked this approach.
The problem you're having (as I suppose you already know) is that any new disk item inherits the permissions of the folder it is originally created in in. These permissions (sensibly enough) need owner or administrator permission to change once they've been established; that will happen when you copy a file to a new location (because that's essentially creating a new file) but not when you move it. any of the following would work:
changing the permissions on newly created files for both users so that they all explicitly give r/w access to a particular group.
writing a droplet that would change the permissions of files dropped on it and move them programmatically to the shared folder
set up a folder action or launchd job that would watch the shared folder and automatically convert permissions on files placed in it.
The last would be the approach I would take, but... which appeals to you?

Is Screen Sharing with multiple users possible?

I am trying to discuss some documents with multiple users. It works very well with just two users sharing the screen of one of them, so I was wondering if there was a way to have a third user participating. If iChat does not allow this, does anyone know a different software solution?
Thanks
Christian

Hi,
No. (Not in iChat)
And I have not heard of anything either.

Home Sharing and multiple Users

We have one Mac with one user (me) and another Mac with two other users. If we have Home Sharing turned on for all three users, should each user be able to see the other two iTunes libraries, or will only the currently logged in user on the 2-user computer be available? Example: If User 1 is logged in, can they get User 2's library, and can I get both User 1's and User 2's libraries from the other computer?
And does iTunes have to be launched on a given computer for its library to show up on another computer, or will my iTunes find the library where it resides on the other computer even if their iTunes is not on?

It is not really practical for multiple users on different PCs to use the same library database. This is because the iTunes database is not multiuser, the can however share the same content files.
So each PC will need it's own library database (iTunes Library.itl) which in this case is best located on the users own PC.

Mailbox Converted from Shared Mailbox to User Mailbox; Unable to log on using Outlook

Hi,
We set up Office 365 couple of weeks ago and set up a shared mailbox "sales". This didn't meet our needs as we wanted the users to be send email from the sales email box and have these email appear in the set items folder of the sales mailbox,
not from the users mailbox.
Therefore following some instructions, we used the shell to convert the mailbox to a user mailbox. Correctly, this email box now no longer appears in the list of shared mailboxes in the admin site, it appears in the user section.
We have also successfully assigned this sales user a licence <label boxtype="Label" class="BOX-MainTertiary o365-ns-c LicenseProduct" for="sku0">Office 365 MidSize Business including of course </label>"<label
boxtype="Label" class="BOX-MainBodyText" for="sku0_Service2">Exchange Online Plan 1".</label>
However, when we try and add this email box into outlook, it fails, after requesting the password several times. We have checked the password by signing into webmail and this has no issue, it works correctly. We therefore have the correct password, but this
conversion seems to have caused a problem?!<label boxtype="Label" class="BOX-MainBodyText" for="sku0_Service2"></label>
The second issue is that the shared mailbox still appears within the users outlook as a shared mailbox, it hasn't removed itself. trying to right click and close complains it is associated with an email account, meaning it wants us to remove the whole
account and add it again? Surely if its no longer shared it should vanish?

What you're trying to do will have its own problems because Outlook does not serve two masters well. Trust me on this, trying to open two mailboxes simultaneously this way, rather than opening the mailbox as a second mailbox (which doesn't give you
the Sent Items behavior you crave), will cause you plenty of other problems.

Accessing a shared mailbox for users that do not have a mailbox associated with their AD account.

is it possible to give just AD users access to a shared mailbox via webmail in an exchange 2010 environment when those users do not have mailboxes associated with their AD account? They do have full access rights to the shared mailbox.

Hi Shmaxolin,
According to my experience and research, we can use AD account access to shared mailbox, as long as set properly permission.
We can use IMAP application to access it, please try following steps:
1. Make sure you have enabled IMAP and POP3 protocol.
2. Change IMAP4’s authentication to “Plain test logon (Basic authentication). No…..”(open EMC--->Server Configuration--->Client Access, switch to POP3 and IMAP4, right-click IMAP4 and select Properties, then switch to Authentication)
3. Use the following user format DomainName\Username\MailboxAlias (e.g. DOMAIN\John.Doe\Shared.Mailbox1) to log into the shared mailbox.

ICal sharing with multiple users on same computer

How can i set up iCal to share with multiple users on the same computer?

yes, BUT... you need a central repository for the master calendars, usually referred to a Calendar Server. If you are not using a Mac OS X Server on your private network, I think you can use web-based servers that use standard calendar protocol.

Public variables can be shared by multiple users?

I have public static variables in some of my classes...think that there are 2 pages...
page1:sets that public variable..
page2:reads that public variable...
so the 2. person can read 1. person's variable by directly calling the second page or he gets null,error etc:?
its important for the security!generally are the values are session protected?or user must handle this security by coding correctly...
thank you

Actually, neither your question nor your English are
particularly clear.
However, if you're asking what I think you're asking,
then, yes, the variable can be seen by multiple
"users." I put that in quotes because there really
isn't a concept of "users" or "people" here unless
you build in such a layer. It's really requests that
we're talking about.
Servlets should not usually have member variables.
The reason is that usually only one instance of your
Servlet implementation exists, and it processes all
requests for that servlet. This is more a data
validity issue than a security one. Security comes in
at the layer where you build it (or use a 3rd party
library), but a side effect of this can be compromisd
security. The access levels--public, private, etc.
are NOT intended for security purposes, however.
Now, if that servlet's doGet(), doPost(), service(),
or whater methods create instances of some
other class, then, no, other requests cannot
see those objects, as long as the references to them
stay local to the servlet's methods, and don't get
put into the servlets member variables or an
application context.thank you this is what i exactly wanted to learn...i have also tested it with my test codes and same things seen parallel to your explanations...

Sharing with multiple users

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an iTunes account that can be shared by different users on an iMac. I followed the apple guidelines for moving the iTunes music folder to a public area, and then setting that folder as the default folder in advanced iTunes preferences.
It seems to work okay, however when I add something to one iTunes library it does not automatically add it to the others.
Any way around this?
Thanks,
Gully

when I add something to one iTunes library it does not automatically add it to the others.
Are you using iTunes 9, and if so is there a folder titled "Automatically Add to iTunes" in that iTunes Music folder? If so, then if you drop new tracks into that folder, it may do what it says for all users. I've not tried this in a situation where the folder is being shared among several users, though, so I don't know if it will work in such a circumstance.
If not, then unless someone else here knows of a workaround, your users may either have to add the tracks to their iTunes libraries manually or you'll need a utility like Hazel which the developer says can add tracks to iTunes automatically.
Hope this helps.

Temporarily disabling specific email accounts for phone shared by multiple users

Hi all and thank-you in advance for any potential help!
My company has a Blackberry "Style Flip" 9670 for our sales-people traveling in Northern Canada in the Yukon area. This phone goes with whoever is going on that particular trip, however it has 5 different email accounts associated with it for the 3 users that share it.
I don't know if this is possible with a Blackberry or not, but we would love if there was an easy way to temporarily disable the email accounts that do not belong to the person carrying the phone at that point in time.
The way it is now, we have User A (2 email accounts), User B (2 email accounts), and User C (1 email account) sharing this phone. If 'User C' is presently up north and has the phone and sends an email to 'User A' and 'User B', the email is still received on the shared BB for both 'User A' & 'User B' and wastes a lot of precious bandwidth. The main dilema is the two users with multiple accounts on that phone receive a ton of emails daily. This means 'User C' may have 1 crucial email waiting to be received, but has to wait for all of 'User A' & 'User B's' emails to be received before getting the important email.
Is there a way without deleting the accounts each time to turn certain email accounts on and off? Any help is much appreciated!

Screen sharing and multiple users

I have an iMac at home that is used by multiple family members. I have multiple logins enable so it is common to have 2-3 accounts logged in at once. I would like to use screen sharing to connect to my account even when one of the kids is logged into their account.
I started by looking at the vnc processes. There is one process that run as root:
root 21792 0.0 0.0 2437128 1736 ?? Ss 12:25PM 0:00.02 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/RFBRegisterMDNS
Then there is another process for each person logged in:
username 22006 0.0 0.3 2734876 13964 ?? S 12:33PM 0:00.29 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Ma cOS/AppleVNCServer
So I have two questions. One is how can there be three processes running that listen on the same 5900 port at the same time and how does it decide which one to connect a vnc client to? My second question is how can I prevent the AppleVNCServer process from starting for each user. I've tried killing those processes but they respawn immediately.

Hi
Thank you for your answer. Sorry to have been unclear - I'll give it another go :o)
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have 2 users (Plex and Ursus) that I want to have logged on at the same time. Plex will be "in the front" i.e. that is the screen that is seen if you are at the mini. Ursus is a user that is logged on but you cannot currently see (i.e. in the back as it where). I would like to work using the user Ursus (to, for example, rip a movie from a DVD (that I own of course :o).
Using file sharing would mean that I have 2 machines running and that I need to copy all the files from the one machine to the other, not exactly what I want but manageable.
I have managed to get this "partly" working - I am using Vine Server for Mac (http://www.testplant.com/products/vineserver/OSX) which allows me to start a VNC server on e.g. port 5901 and then screen share to that session. If I setup the second user (Ursus in this case) to use this server then I can connect to the "back" user. The only problem being that Vine Server seems to crash with Plex - as soon as I start it Plex just hangs and randomly crashes!
Was that clearer?
Thanks again
Ursus

ITunes sharing with multiple users on one iMac

I have a sizeable library that I would like to consolidate on our new iMac and allow four users (my family) to use the one library in their respective iTunes. There was a post last year for a solution to use aliases to accomplish this and I followed the steps as best I could. It sort of worked but I must have started with my iTunes library in a different location because it didn't work out as easily as the article shows.
http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=10283304
In order for the music to show up in iTunes even for the first user account, I had to "add" the music to library from the new location (the alias) essentially creating a new library. I guess that is due to the location of the extra files (e.g. library, extras, etc.). For the above method to work, where exactly do the library files (not the actual music files) need to be? Also, is there a way to use that folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes?" And lastly how do I reset some features, like playlists, using Time Machine? There doesn't seem to be much info into the advanced use and trouble shooting of iTunes.
I appreciate any help someone can provide.

Thanks but that doesn't really answer any of my questions. That method does not allow you to add songs from any account. You still have to manage multiple "library" files, add songs to the library manually for each user, and you end up with duplicate songs. The method that is linked in my previous post is a great one, I just need to know where the library files go in relation to the actual songs (meaning inside or outside of the iTunes folder). I guess I need to know how iTunes is set up "out of the box" since I have moved some stuff around and the data files and the music files are in different folders than they were (or would be) in a new installation.

IPhoto Library Sharing by Multiple Users on Same Computer

Is there a "tried and true" way to set up iPhoto08 to allow my wife and I to share/access the Photo Library? I prefer not to set up external drive for library. It appears that photos I download from camera to iPhoto on my "login" do not load to the library on my wife's login and vise/versa.
Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully not too technical please. Thanks.
Jeff

There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
(Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone.)
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Disk sharing and multiple users...

Hi,
I've my hard-drive connected to my Airport Extreme base station, to which I access from a Snow Leopard. The connection works properly and I can access the disk. Happily.
I have two users (let's say "toto" and "tata") on my Snow Leopard who I want to have full access to the drive. It is possible, but I have to mount the disk twice (once per users). The mounting points are created in this order:
- /Volume/Disk
- /Volume/Disk-1
The access rights for both are 700 which means that one user can not access to the mounted point of the other. Furthermore, the mounted points are decided in the order the disk are mounted, which means we never know whose are "Disk" or "Disk-1".
This situation is very problematic with software like iTunes, which can not find its files if the mount point is not the expected one.
The workaround I have found is to allow full access (777) to guest users on my disk (and filter MAC addresses on the station), but this only allows "tata" to access to the mounting point of "toto" ("tata" would mount the Drive at "/Volumes/Disk-1" anyway).
Regarding this issue, I have two questions:
- is it possible to make MacOSX mount the disk with 770 permissions ?
- is it possible to force both accounts to use the same mount point "/Volume/Disk" ?
Thank you !!

Greetings,
TimeMachine will therefore backup the whole sparseimage
Correct you are. Thats the character of disk images. They are one "document" that contains many items. TimeMachine does not see inside the image so it has to backup the entire file.
So does anyone have a good idea for a solution?
Stop using the sparseimage.
Put your iTunes library and iPhoto library an external drive as that sharing article suggests (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198). Then use a second hard drive to backup both your computer and your 1st hard drive. Not only will you be able to access this iTunes library and iPhoto library from other user accounts but you can free up hard drive space on your system. Downside is you must have the 1st hard drive plugged into your system to access iTunes / iPhoto.
