User name change prevents task completion in SP Workflow

I have a workflow on a library including Infopath forms. Basically, user submits document, a group gets assigned a task and so on and so forth. I am using SharePoint 2010 and Infopath 2010 and used Designer for the Workflow.
Recently, one of our users got married and her name was changed. Ever since, whenever she submits a form to the library, nobody is able to complete the tasks generated by the workflow instance her submitted item created. This is the error we see:
The form cannot be submitted because it contains validation errors.
Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red,
dashed border (invalid values). Field or group: d:Author Error: No
exact match was found. Click the item(s) that did not resolve for more
options.
Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.
We use Active Directory to maintain our users. When we look at active Directory, this account is fine. But in SharePoint, while the account has the new name (Jane Doe), the user ID remain the old one (jsmith rather than jdoe).
Can anyone help?

All you need it to sync the user.
Move-SPUser –Identity "Domain\OldUserName" –NewAlias "Domain\NewUsername"

    Yes, but the method is to simply connect the TC to the computer by ethernet and use it on a separate network. That is the best way to do it.. but you can also do the same thing better and easier with an external hard disk plugged in. For a desktop computer this is a better solution in a way. You will only be using the TC for Time Machine backups anyway.
    If you want to continue to use the TC.. then the actual network settings I put in this thread with a whole series of pictures.

  • Issue: The user name changed when switch to other links in SCN

    Hi,
    I just wanted to bring to the notice of the moderators (as I don't know where can I report for the IT related issues) that for the past few days I am facing a peculiar behaviour when I log into the SCN through Internet Explorer 8.0. This is also being faced by my peers too..:)
    The issue is that when I login to SCN, I can see my user name on the top of the page(Home page). But when I switch to say 'Forum', the user name is changed and this is random. I kind of have access to his/her account.
    Even I try to log off, nothing happens.. The only solution left is to close the IE and then try to login again.
    Kindly have a look into this issue.
    Thanks in advance..:)
    Regards
    Amit

    Ive (along with many others) noticed the same problem with the Forums about 2 years ago, where after log-in or clicking a certain thread I find myself in someone's else's id. And the id keeps changing from time to time with no end in sight.
    The problem took about a couple of days to be rectified.

  • I need to reset my Apple ID on my ipad.  My internet provider was bought by another company, so my user name changed.  So now, when I go into itunes or the app store, I cannot update anything because it asks for my password, but not my apple id.

    My internet provider changed, so my username changed.  I need to be able to reset my appleid NOT my password.  I can't find a way to do this.  Here is a scenario.  I want to go into the app store to update apps, so a box pops up asking for my password, but shows my appleid as the old name.  I have reset the appleid on my mac and itunes at home and works there, but when I try to go into things on the ipad, it automatically comes up with a window asking for my password, but for my old id name.  I went to the manage your id section, but it won't let me in because it wants the password to the old name.  So I think I need to reregister the ipad with my new userid.  Icloud, Itunes, app store, everything like that won't let me in because they still show the user id as the old name.

    On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

  • User Name - Changing last name

    We have a user who recently was married. We want to update her last name to reflect the change. Does SoD have a process to update any/all entries that contain her old name with her new name, or do we have to do a mass update?

    David,
    If you change a username you need to notify Customer Care to update her training information as her training login will stop working.
    cheers

  • How do I reverse a user-name change?

    HELP! I accidentally changed the name under the "home" icon, simply by highlighting the previous name (which is also the previous owner of the computer) and changing it to mine. This immediately added another user to the computer, has changed all of my personalized settings in every interface and program, and has now created a folder with the previous user's name.
    All of my personal information (ie pictures and documents) are located in the new location but the computer is recognizing the old user when I try to save files to the desktop. Reversing this process by highlighting my new name to change it back doesn't allow me to do so, because there's already another user by that name.
    How can I reverse this process and go back to the way it was just an hour ago? Thanks.

  • User name change, and now my settings are gone...

    I clicked on Finder, and saw that my username was a____s_______ (which is my full name spelled out). As anal as I am, I wanted everything spelled with capitalization, so I left clicked, selected "Rename a____s_______" and proceeded to type is out like so: A___ S______.
    Everything was going great until I clicked on iTunes and it acted like I was a brand new user. My personal music and playlists are nowhere to be found. Same is the case in iPhoto, and upon restarting, I'm back to a beautiful Mac blue desktop background like Day 1.
    I know my iTunes, etc. still exist--if I click on Macintosh HD and then Users, under my old name (a____s_______) is a folder containing all my music, pictures, etc. in folders. Technically, I could drag everything into it's place, but besides the immense time block that would take, I don't know how to get back all my other settings (desktop, dashboard, widgets, address book, etc.).
    Does anyone know of a quick fix to this? It's a little irritating--so close yet so far away, you know?!
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Drag the "unwanted" Library folder to the Desktop. Move the Library folder you want to the proper location. Restart the computer. If all is well you can then delete the Library folder that's on the Desktop.
    This is necessary because some items are "in use" when you startup. You cannot delete a folder if it contains items "in use." Once you replace the folder and restart the old folder will no longer have anything "in use" and can be dumped.

  • CCX AXL user name change

    Hi All,
    CUCM & CCX Version:8.5.1.1
    Currently CCX is integrated with CUCM using ‘administrator’ id of CUCM  (axl user). I wanted to re-associate it with new user id (will create a new app user and add it Standard AXL Access group in CUCM) from system>Cisco unified configuration page of CCX.
    I believe I can do so. But please let me know if there is any issues (unable to login to CAD or CTI port getting unregistered) will arise in doing so as it is a live set up.
    Also, please let me know the correct procedure to do so.
    Thanks!
    Sanoop

    Hi,
    yes, that's the procedure.
    AXL is used for configuration only, for call control there are two other accounts (JTAPI, RMCM) so you don't need to worry about login or registration issues.

  • Admin user name changed, cannot login

    My new MacBook Air took my username presumably from my iTunes login. Either way, all was fine until I amended my username (in my mackbook, not itunes).
    Now when it boots up, it takes the original iTunes a/c username. When I type in my password though it shakes (fails).
    Weirdly, my password is correct, it's the user that is wrong, but I'm unable to amend it.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks vm

    Hi,

    The steps are to start SDM Server and then start SDM Client to connect to server. Then from client you can deploy.
    For errors on SDM, check the SDM logs under: C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<instance>\SDM\program\log
    Look there from the files which are created today and search for relavent errors.

  • My Norton Internet Security, Passwrd and user name auto complete doesn't work in Firefox 4

    Since updating to Firefox 4 my user name and password auto complete form Norton Internet security doesn't work.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • SOHO Network-Admin/Chg user names

    I'm a little confused here. I have a soho network consists of 4 computers. 3 run 10.4.11 and one 10.5.2. The 3 are a G4 sawtooth (upgraded processor), MDD and iMac FP800 (original). The one running 10.5.2 is a MBP 2.4G.
    First question: I have a user account on each. Unfortunately, I have used the same user name for each so it gets confusing when in a user directory knowing which computer I'm working from/to. Is it possible to change the user name?
    Second: I have a difficult time remembering which server address is which computer. Can server addresses be appended to include like MDD and iMacFP and MBP and Sawtooth?
    Third: I am denied access to my user directory when accessing from one computer to another. My acct info is the same for each, both user name and password. Why when I log in to computer 'B' am I denied access to my user directory? I have to supply my password to make the server connection and when connected don't have the access I need.
    I have file sharing enabled and Admin privilege on each.
    Thank you

    It is not, but your config info says you are using Tiger which is why I suggested it. If you are using Leopard that program will not work. For Leopard you do the following:
    Changing your User account name (short name) in Leopard
    Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. Select your account then CTRL-click or RIGHT-click to display the contextual menu. Select Advanced Options from the list. A dialog will appear.
    To change the name of your Home folder enter the new short name in the field labeled Short Name:. In the field labeled Home Directory: replace the portion of the entry that is your old user name with the new user name - change /Users/oldname to /Users/newname. Click on the OK button. Restart the computer.

  • Office 365/Share point one Drive site name change ?

    We use Office 365 and the One drive in our organization and ADFS  setup to sync users from Active Directory to create and manage users in 365. A problem we've discovered is that when a users name changes (married) I can change it in AD and that will
    show in 365 but the users sharepoint site to one drive still shows the original name so for example if jsmith changed to jjones the original sharepoint onedrive site is
    https://crdistrict-my.sharepoint.com/personal/jsmith_OURDOMAIN/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Documents/Forms/All.aspx
    and the new one should be
    https://crdistrict-my.sharepoint.com/personal/jjones_OURDOMAIN/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Documents/Forms/All.aspx
    I found in the Admin console under sharepoint settings etc places to update the user to the new name and I make the change and hit save and close and in a few min its back to the original. It won't let me change it. Anyone else run across this
    Jason

    Hi,
    I understand that you stay in the Office 365 admin Center, when you click the SharePoint option, you get the error page.
    I recommend to enter the URL as below in the Brower to check whether the account can access SharePoint admin Center.
