Win7 corrupted user profile and ExtendScript

One of our photographers had her Win7 profile corrupted.  IT came by and restored her profile, and everything seemed to be working fine except that now a script that I wrote that saves an XML preference file a subfolder in her my documents folder can't be recognized.  In fact I can't get ExtendScript to create a file in any directory below the my documents folder, and it will return false if I check that a file exists - even one that does exists.  I've tried both the "~" to get to the directory and hardcoding the path.  Nothing works.  Has anyone run across this?  She can save her normal PS preferences, write files to those folders, etc; but Extendscript just can't see them.

It sounds like a permissions issue… although I don't use windows… I would however use the folder objects static properties ( > CS4 ) for a flexible path as in…
var f = File( Folder.myDocuments + '/Some/Other/File.xml' );

  • Firefox V33.0 can't find user profile and cant view window content

    Hello
    I have used Firefox since the old days, wayyy back. Never an issue, always worked, always performed.
    My Firefox (v32 I believe), automatically downloaded and applied the v33 browser and immediately, everything went wrong...
    First, the browser loaded but the screen was either sheet black or sheet white, then reloading (after closing the window) was informed (only via the window title as all else was block black) that Firefox couldn't see a user profile.
    I loaded FF with safe mode and disabled everything (list of addons at the bottom of this post), and the browser loads now and I can see content, but then after only a minute in "safe mode" firefox persistently returned with either a fatal crash or a sudden inability to find the user profile (causing exit).
    Reading up about possible workarounds, I eventually managed to export the Profile data (to desktop), to clear the profile data and replace data with desktop copy. Clearing the data took several attempts due to firefox display only showing black or white as stated above, but firefox then couldn't "import" profile as I can't see whats going on in the window.
    Eventually manually installed profile data (from desktop automatic copy) to firefox but FF still persisted in crashing to desktop and not displaying correctly if not in Safe mode. I eventually uninstalled firefox and reinstalled from scratch. The reinstall persisted with all the above mentioned issues, I did manually reinstate the FF user profile and crashing to desktop is now rare but does still happen, now it usually happens when Firefox is not the current active window.
    Firefox still does not display correctly unless in the "Safe Mode".
    Any clues or help or suggestion about why this would happen? Any way I can revert to version 32?
    My Addons :
    No Services.
    Appearance, default only
    PLUGINS:
    VLC plugin 2.1.3.0
    Silverlight plugin 5.1.3
    shockwave flash 15.0.0
    Quicktime plugin 7.7.5
    Java platform SE7 U67 10.
    Google Update (disabled)
    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9
    EXTENSIONS:
    British Dictionary (not compatible with v33!!, disabled)
    Colorzilla 2.8.1
    cssUpdater 0.5.2 (disabled)
    Dust-Me Selector [for CSS] 4.1
    Firebug 2.0.3 (and associated FireDiff, FirePHP, EventBug)
    enabling / disabling all/any of these does not (so far) change the graphical fault loading Firefox outside of Safe Mode.
    Any ideas?
    cheers
    P.S>As additional info: I have tried the "reset firefox" but this caused numerous little bugs with saving the profile user data. Also reseting did not fix any of the issues.
    Everything else on my computer works fine. No virus, no malware (Eset / MWBytes) all other programs fine, and FF was fine until V33!!

  • Resource assignment WMS- Defining user profiles and equipment profile

    Can anyone please let me know how I can define the user profiles and equipment profiles in SAP WMS We have a decentralized WMS that we are implementiing . Can any one please let me know how I can define the user profiles and aalso the equipemtn profiles. Ability to skip tasks and task groups.
    Thanks

    Yes - this was the first set of information the OP dumped from his system. About line 5 of the post.
    But I do wonder whether the 9.2.0.6 (not latest patch) makes a difference? Or perhaps the connect time is being used as part of a composite limit.

  • UPRE to replicate User Profiles and Managed Metadata to High Availability backup farm

    I'm working on a HA project, and have been tasked with replicating our User Profiles and Metadata to a newly created farm. I'll call the current production farm FarmA and the new HA farm FarmB. I've installed SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit on FarmB,
    and used SPDiag to generate my first report on FarmB.
    We're not using MySites.
    I'm looking at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj891109(v=office.15).aspx and have some questions. Anything I do on FarmA will be done thought a Change Control, and I want to be able to answer questions intelligently.
    Does SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit and UPRE have to be installed on FarmA and FarmB?
    Does enabling DTC create any security concern? Or performance hit? I haven't done this before.
    Any documented risks with using the replicator?
    Are scheduled replications typically 1 weekly full with nightly incrementals?
    Anything the replication won't copy over to FarmB? Like Synchronization Connections, or additional/custom fields?
    How are GUIDs handled?
    Sorry to pack 6 questions into one post ;)
    Thanks,
    Scott

    To answer the first question this is what MS says: The User Profile Replication Engine can be installed on any computer that has access to the source User Profile service application and destination User Profile service application. However, we recommend
    that you install the User Profile Replication Engine on a computer that is part of the source farm or on a computer that is connected to the subnet of the source domain. The User Profile Replication Engine uses the SharePoint Server 2010 User Profile and User
    Profile Change Log to read and write data between user profile stores. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc663011(v=office.15).aspx And to answer 4th question its true but full sync will only be required initially and only when there is org changes
    most of the time its incremental. To my knowledge FULL replication will bring all the details but not sure though.

  • Assign User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users

    Hi EM Gurus,
    Has anyone worked with not standard scenarios in SCEM?
    They are working well but I can't access them on interface web.
    In selection page (search page after logon), where choose tracking scenarios, only standard scenarios appear although I have assigned both scenarios to the user and made same configuration; Assigned and Defined Web Interface Transactions, Configured Fields for User Profiles, Defined User Profiles, Assigned User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users.
    But only Standard Scenarios appear as choice of tracking scenarios that are displayed to the user as a dropdown box on the selection screen after logging on to the Web interface.
    Has anyone accessed not standard scenarios on interface web??
    Help, please!
    Thanks a lot.
    Rodrigo Freitas

    Hello Rodrigo,
    if you have assigned the scenarios to your user in transaction /SAPTRX/UCUSER you must go to the admin page and reload the profile manager.
    /admin in the URL of the WCL instead /ehsearch.
    Afterwards you should see them also in the drop-down box.
    Best regards,

  • Server 2012 R2 Corrupt User Profile Disks after RDSH reboot

    Hi,
    We have a serious problem when using User Profile Disks, we have a pretty simple setup with a single RDGW & RDCB and the 2x RDSH with a folder share for redirected folders and another for User Profile Disks. Now if any server suffers a re-boot when users
    are connected to it then their profiles gets corrupted and are issued with a temporary profile (we have a GPO to deny use of temp profiles) and so cannot log on.
    I have searched the forums and found the following hotfix
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2896328 but this ONLY applies to Windows Server 2012.
    Is there any published hotfix for Server 2012 R2, else we will need to look at another way of managing profiles ?
    Thanks,
    Donal

    Hi Donal,
    Sorry to say but there is no other Hotfix related to this issue for Server 2012 R2. But you can try the option of deleting the SID from registry. You can find the below path and then search for proper associated SID with user name and then delete it.
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\ProfileList

  • Windows 7 Home Premium corrupted user profile

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and it looks like my user profile got corrupted.
    I tried so far:
    reboot and go to safe mode and tried to Repair Installation. It didn't work.
    reboot and go to safe mode and log in. The log in failed but logged me as Default. Tried to create another user profile so I could copy my files into it. But it have no option to create another account.
    While still on safe mode, tried to copy the default account as a different name. It will copy the files but it will not create a new account.
    While still on safe mode, tried to create a new account on the cmd prompt, but it didn't work either.
                  start net user newacc newpwd
                  start net user newacc atcive:yes
    I run out things to do! Does anyone have a clue how to fix that?? Thanks a lot.

    Check that User Profile Service (ProfSvc) startup type is set to automatic. Then perform
    SFC scan. If the issue persists, try the  following methods (try any of the methods after moving any personal/important files to a safe location):
    Method 1: Since you can logon in safe mode, go to the following directory and delete the folder Default : C:\Users\
    Method 2: After logging on in safe mode, go to Start->right click Computer->click Properties. On the left pane, click Advanced System Settings. Under User Profiles, click Settings. Select Default Profile, click Delete. Restart the PC in normal mode
    and then check. If it fails to solve the issue, this time, delete Default Profile as well your user account profile. Then, restart the PC in normal mode and then check.

  • How do I fix a corrupt user profile

    Hi,
       I have a user profile that is corrupt. In CA, under People, Manage User Profiles, I can't find the broken user profile but when I try to create profile again with New Profile. It won't let me. As it says the Profile exists already. How do I
    fix this broken profile in SharePoint 2013? Thanks.
    SPYliu

    I've had to use code like the above to delete user profiles before - however - I would strongly suggest excluding the loop from the above code - otherwise you'll be deleting ALL user profiles - which doesn't seem to be what you want to do
    - e.g:
    /* Load required Assemblies for SharePoint Server and User Profile */
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server”)
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles”)
    /* Central Adminstration URL or any Web Application*/
    $url = "http://myserver:Port"
    /* Create a new Context Object */
    $contextWeb = New-Object
    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername");
    /* Get the right Service Context */
    $ServerContext = [Microsoft.Office.Server.ServerContext]::GetContext($contextWeb);
    /* create a new connection to the UserProfileManager */
    $UserProfileManager = New-Object
    Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServerContext);
    /* Remove Profile */ $UserProfileManager.RemoveUserProfile("CONTOSO\joesmith");

  • ITunes 12.1.2.7 works for one user profile and not another on the same PC

    When using iTunes 12.1.2.27 with my user profile in Windows 7, it will run for about a minute before I get the message that iTunes has crashed and that Windows is searching for a solution.  It never finds one, and the problem persists.  I've tried doing a restart of the computer and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.  Nothing works.
    However, my wife has a separate user profile on the same computer.  The same installation of iTunes that crashes with me works as it should when she uses it with her profile.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?

  • Lost user profile and disk0s2: I/O error during start up in safe mode

    My almost 2 year old Mac Book Pro (10.7.5) started lagging and rainbow spiraling last week and now it usually doesn't make it to the login page after boot up. It stays on the gray apple screen until I hold the power button to power it off.
    If it makes it to the login page, after 10-20 minutes on the gray apple screen, my primary user profile is not there but the standadr guest user and my blank student user are still there and do work with many rainbow spirals interruptions.
    I started it in safe mode and have also tried starting it with command-option-p-r to reset the PRAM and it went through the double start up sounds but still did not load my primary user profile on the login screen, still after a very long boot up process.
    I then started it up in safe mode and watched the progress it seemed to run cleanly through lines and lines of code until it hit  a bunch of lines of "disk0s2: I/O error" ...
    Are my computer's brains toast??? I just did a Time Machiene back up to an external hard drive as few days ago ... but what needs to be done with my computer?

    "disk0s2: I/O error" ...
    This indicates a disk failure, though a hardware failure involving the connection between the HD and logic board is also a remote possibility. If you are able to successfully repair it with Disk Utility, it will probably recur.
    Replace the disk and restore from your Time Machine backup. Hard disks are not expensive and it's easy enough to replace it yourself.

  • Can I filter out a corrupted user account and app as part of a migration?

    I am in the process of upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I did an erase and install because of some issues with the old system, one being a corrupted user account. I am reluctant to use Migration Assistant because I don't want to bring that corrupted account over.
    I have read in some other posts that if you already have a user account with a certain name in Leopard and you try to bring over one with the same same from Tiger, it will not transfer. Is this correct? If that is so I would create a user account in Leopard with the same name as the corrupted account in Tiger and that would block it, right? The next question is what constitutes the user account name, is it the designated name, often the computer name or is it the short name, often the same as the designated name but run together if it is two words. I guess I could just duplicate both names the way they appear in Tiger. Will that do it?
    On a related note, is there any substantial difference between doing a simple upgrade on the one hand as opposed to an erase and install and then using migration assistant to bring everything over that way? I have a QT issue and along with the corrupted user account, I made the decision to use the erase and install option and essentially start from scratch. This, however, creates a lot of extra and perhaps unnecessary work. Would it help if I just deleted QT in Tiger so it couldn't be migrated?

    There is a Mac OS X 10.5 help topic that answers most of your questions. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available online & obviously, you can't access it on your own Mac without Leopard already being installed -- a bit of a Catch-22!
    Anyway, below I have copied the text of that topic from my own Help Viewer. It lacks the formatting of the original, but I hope it will be of some use to you anyway.
    *Using Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac*
    If you need to transfer your files and important settings from an older Mac to a new one, and both computers use Mac OS X, you can use Migration Assistant.
    Before using Migration Assistant, make sure you have a FireWire cable to connect the two computers.
    NOTICE: If you experienced problems while using some files or applications on your old computer, you may not want to transfer those files and applications to your new computer. If you do, you may transfer corrupted data or incompatible files.
    To transfer files using Migration Assistant:
    1 On your new computer, open Migration Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. Read the Introduction screen, and then click Continue.
    2 If a dialog appears, type your password, and then click OK.
    3 In the Migration Method screen, select “From another Mac,” and then click Continue.
    4 Connect a FireWire cable from your new Mac to your older Mac, and then click Continue.
    5 Follow the instructions in Migration Assistant to restart your older Mac and select the hard disk and user accounts from which you want to transfer. Then, select whether you want to transfer applications, files and folders, or your Library folder.
    NOTE: When you first open a transferred application on your new computer, you may need to reenter the application’s serial number or registration code.
    6 Select whether you want to use your old network, time zone, and sharing settings, and then click Transfer.
    When Migration Assistant is finished, click Quit.
    You can use Migration Assistant with a MacBook Air if both computers are connected to the same Ethernet or wireless network. See “MacBook Air: How to use Migration Assistant” at the Apple support website.

  • Recovering user profiles and applications from old iMac HDD

    Wanting to upgrade my 2007 24" iMac, I replaced the HDD with a SSD and did a fresh install of Mt Lion. The goal is to transfer applications and usere profiles back to the iMac from the old drive. I want to keep personal files (doc, pix, ect) on the old drive that is connect via USB in an external case. Can this be done.
    I do not have a backup of the drive either. Can I do this now that it is in a box?
    Thank you for your support.
    Tom D.

    You can use Migration Assistant to move all the stuff to the new Mac. Don't create any user accounts, just let Migration Assistant do that by itself. Just point MA to the attached drive.
    I'm not sure what you mean by keeping personal files on the old drive.
    They will remain there after the migration, but the documents will be copied to the new computer.
    If you want to set up the Home folders to to the external, then I can't help. There is no way to use Migration assistant to set up the users, but not transfer data. It can just transfer Applications, though. Sometimes, I think it is better to reinstall those from scratch, too.
    The only way I could see doing that would be to just transfer applications, set up  all new accounts, then use the Users & Groups System Prefs to set the Home folder to the external. Again, I don't know how to do this properly.

  • MySites User Profiles and User Hidden List

    I would like to automatically activate all user profiles so I can assign an administrator to update all user information. The environment does have MySites setup but no one has permissions to create their own MySite site. Therefore,
    when a user navigates to their profile page to edit their profile information they visit the URL http://server/MySiteSiteCollection/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Person.aspx?accountname=domain\user
    Right now, the administrator can only edit user profiles where the user had previously visited their user profile page, thus activating their user profile, which I assume adds an item to the hidden user list. However, the administrator cannot edit
    any user profiles where the user had not yet visited their user profile site, thus generating an error. I would like to enable/activate all user profiles automatically without having to contact each user separately and asking them to visit their
    profile page just to get it enabled for editing.
    Does anyone know if there is a way via PowerShell to activate all user profiles?
    Environment: SharePoint 2013

    That is probably the best, most consistent way. It would be isolated to that particular SA, so there shouldn't be security concerns. Otherwise you'll constantly run into this issue.
    This should work with SharePoint 2013:
    http://blog.bugrapostaci.com/2011/10/03/create-all-users-personal-site-via-powershell-script-sharepoint-2010/
    But you'd need to continually run it to capture new users.
    Another one specifically for 2013 if the above doesn't work:

  • Need urgent help on how to compare the user profile and process form attributes

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement  where after editing the  user profile attributes we have to compare the currently modified user  profile attributes and the existing     
    process form attributes and based on the differences we have to update the  process form accordingly.
    We have around 80 attributes so we cannot follow the procedure where
    we update the lookup process_triggers
    and add the "change attribute" task
    and "update attribute" taskin the process definition
    because it creates aroung 160 tasks in process definition. So we are doing it by writing a custom code. Is there any other simple way to do it or any API"s which can help us.
    Need very quick help.Thanks in advance.
