Hey, Rocky. I'm including the group to see if anyone's encountered this. The last time I tried to change a UID for a Mac user was about 6 OS versions ago. -- Craig ________________________________ From: Patel, Rakesh A.

We make the change however upon reboot it randomly generates a new one. Is there a way to preeminently set the ID? Note: The user is logging in with a network account (ANL account). I believe this is the root of the problem. I suspect if we were to use a local account this would not be a problem ( have not tested to verify) I have tried the following suggestion: https://www.inteller.net/notes/change-user-id-on-snow-leopard -Rocky
