Hi, If you are using the Migration Assistant when setting up your machine, it will not allow you to create a new User account with the same name, especially the same Short Name, as an existing user on the original system. It will normally allow you past this either by you giving it a different name or by the system placing a “1” after the new Username, thus creating a different name for itself. There are also some reserved names like “Admin” and “Staff” that are not allowed to be used when creating user accounts.
