When setting SPSite.Owner, does the users already exist in the SiteUsers collection?

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.

Once again thank you for the solution.
