Rather interesting place you’ve got here. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to this matter. BTW, try to add some images .

BryGuy, no way in the product itself to bulk migrate. It’s an individual process.
Of course you could script the calls to it for all of your users.

Great post, is there any way to do a bulk user move? as in moving a hundred users or is it an individual process?

Great article as for me. I’d like to read more concerning that matter.

I suspect that you did a profile crawl before you started migrating accounts, therefore a profile record for test2 already exists? If so, when it tries to update the test1 profile, there is a collision because a test2 profile already exists.
You would probably need to remove the test2 profile and try again.

Hey Keith,

I’m getting an issue with stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin xxx\test1 -newlogin xxx\test2 -ignoresidhistory. It says “Error migrating user profile.” The interesting thing about this account is that there are actually 2 accounts with the same login in the SQL database. My guess is that it is confusing the two accounts and so therefore cannot migrate the user. Any idea of how to get around this? Also, the two accounts cause problems with assigning metadata on import using stsadm.

Thanks.

It’s days like this I wish I would have done a V3 version of SPUserUtil .
Not sure what might be going on then Richard.

I personally have not used the Bamboo Solutions solution Richard.

I’m only trying a domain migration rather than dealing with re-created accounts.

yes alway appending -ignoresidhistory – the migration fails otherwise

I’m hoping the “User Profile Sync” from bamboo solutions will tidy up data taken from AD once I have migrated -has anyone had good experiences with this?

thanks

are you supplying the -ignoresidhistory flag?

do you know any other causes of the command failing reporting “Cannot complete this action…Please try again” -I’m migrating between domains and about 20% of users fail with this message -I cannot see what they have in common. If I migrate to a temp account then onto the new domain the failure happens in migrating from temp to final destination, not in the first migration.

thanks

Richard
