However have you been able to fix the Site owner? I mean SPSite primary and seconary owners. I have quite a few MySites that have owners set to users in an old domain, and stsadm -o migrateuser is not working. I can set the author fine, but if I try to change the SPSite.Owner field it still gives me the same "user cannot be found" exception, even though the user exists I just used it to set the Author field! So I assume the user that is not found may be the old owner, and for some reason it is checking the value of the old owner. I get the same result using stsadm -o siteowner.

I seem to encounter this problem a lot with SQL Server Reporting Services. This utility is a life-saver. I modified your code a bit to allow you to show the current author instead of just resetting it. Great post! I seem to encounter this problem a lot with SQL Server Reporting Services.

For the non developers out there this might be a little much, but it should solve the "author" issue. I will pass this along to the client. Of course there is not good way from SSRS to see which author is broken, since it works up the tree using the parent information, then finds one and just stops.
