Error while creating User abc123.
User Already Exists
Cannot find a home directory after the system user creation for abc123
The home directory for abc123was not created.

why so? i don't see the user in DA?

I did deleted them via DA previously. I have many account i need to restore.
 
log in as root in shell and run:

useradd testuser (or any username that doesnt already exist on the system)

Let us know if that works, or if it gives errors :)

i can add using that command, so what's wrong then huh? Why is DA restore unsuccessful?
 
case closed, i use userdel and paste all userID into a .sh file and ran it to truely remove everyone that shouldn't be there, restore backup and all ok now. Thanks!
