  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Dear all,
I'm trying to create new website with Plesk8.2 on Windows 2003 R2.
Lastweek it is ok to create a new website with Admin or Client (reseller) account.
But sudddenly yesterday, I could not create new website anymore. And it keep saying somehing like....

Unable to get the user (test250) home: (2221) The user name could notbe found.

No matter what user/password is....... Please give any suggestion to solve the problem.

Br,
Bluetear
 
And in the Event Viewer of Windows 2003.. is shown..

Unable to get the user (test250) home: (2221) The user name could not be found.
Execute file name: C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\usermng.exe
 
The problem is solved after install Update to 8.2.0.1

Thanks.
 
FYI

Such errors usually occur when you are trying to perform some system-wide operation that require system user accounts enabled. Basically there are three types of problems there:

1) Such system account does not exist (this is exactly your case);
2) Such system account is disabled (SID lokkup error occur);
3) System account exists and enabled but have incorrect home paths.

Troubleshooting it as follows:

1) Create the system account requested manually. Right click on My Computer > Manage > Users and Groups > Users > Add New User. Then reconfigure IIS websites to apply changes:

%plesk_bin%\websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-all

2) Just enable this account in ight click on My Computer > Manage > Users and Groups > Users

3) Specify home directory for the account in ight click on My Computer > Manage > Users and Groups > Users > problem account > Properties > Home

There are also known issues with password synchronization but they are mostly related to IIS accounts (IUSR_ and IWPD_) and occur within completely different conditions.
