Replicate same question to different course in Moodle

How do I copy Moodle Quiz questions from one course to another?

In the Moodle section from which you would like to copy questions:
1. In the “Administration” block, click on “Export” in the “Question bank” menu.
2. Choose “Moodle XML format” and select the category you would like to copy from the “Export category” drop-down menu; click on the “Export questions to file” button.
3. Save the file to your desktop.
4. Go to the Moodle section to which you would like to copy the questions.
5. Click “Import” in the “Question bank” menu.
6. Choose “Moodle XML format,” and make sure the “Default” course level category is chosen for the “Import category” drop-down menu.
7. Click “Choose file…” to open the “File picker” window.
8. In the “File picker” window, click “Choose File” to browse and select your exported Moodle questions file, then click “Upload this file.”
9. Click “Import,” and you will see a preview of the imported questions.
10. Click “Continue” to proceed to the category containing the imported questions.
NOTE: At this point, you have only copied the quiz questions, and must still create a new quiz and load in the copied questions.

To add the copied questions into a new quiz:

1. Go to the home page of your Moodle course section and click “Turn editing on.”
2. Click the “Add an activity or resource” link in any section where you would like the link to your quiz to be displayed.
3. In the “Add an activity or resource” window, choose “Quiz” and click on the “Add” button.
4. Give your quiz a Name, Open and Close Dates, and set any other desired configurations.
5. Click on the “Save and display” button at the bottom of the page.
6. Click on the “Edit quiz” button; in the “Select a category” drop-down menu in the purple box on the right, select the (newly imported) question category.
7. Check the box to the left of the questions you would like to add to the quiz, or check the box at the top of the column to select all.
8. Click on the “Add to quiz” button.

Tableau - The user could not be added because you do not have access to the domain specified.

You may get the following error when you try to add new user. You have try may solutions as listed in Tableau:


Even you have file a case at Tableau Support and received respond from them. I received the following from Tableau Support:
Thank you for contacting Tableau Technical Support. My name is Henk, and I will be assisting with this case.

I have investigated the reported issue and I do have some steps below that should resolve the permissions issues on Tableau Server. We suggest consulting with your Active directory administrator to make sure the Tableau Server Run As User account has been granted permission to has access to query the Active Directory. If having the access capability, please follow the steps below re-entering the Run As User password and start Tableau Server.

• Try stopping TABLEAU Server, re-enter the Run As User password and start Tableau Server

1. Open Command Prompt and run as administrator, navigate to the “bin” folder located in the Tableau Server directory. For example if Tableau Server is installed in the default location, the directory will be: C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\\bin 2. Type the following command to stop Tableau Server: tabadmin stop 3. From the start menu, type "Configure Tableau Server", and right click the program to open it as a Window Administrator.
4. Type the Run As user password and click "Ok" to save.
5. Type the following command to start Tableau Server: tabadmin start

Additional information on how to add Active Directory users can be found in the following links:

After try all the above, you still get the same result and thought of re-install your tableau server. Before you do that, let me give you another solutions:
1. Please make sure the username used to manage the tableau server (start, stop, restart) is register in the same domain as other user (in your Active Directory, LDAP server, or any authentication method used excluding local authentication)
2. If no. 1 ok, then ensure that the user has administrator privileges and has granted by your domain authenticator (in my case is Active Directory)
3. Open you Tableau Server Config (for Windows Start Menu > Tableau > Config Tableau Server).
4. In the window pop-up, make sure the username and password entered is the same username/password register in the Active Directory.
5. Restart your tableau server. Opps.. I recommended that you stop your tableau server first. :)

And it shall solve your problem.

p/s: it took me 2 days to figure out.
