Here is an interesting “gotcha!”: When migrating a user who also happens to be the sole site collection administrator for a site collection (this means that no secondary site collection owner has been specified), you may find that after migration you are no longer to administer the site collection, although users can still browse it.
When you try to view the site collection administrators group you get a horrid “User not found” error message in the UI / “Error: Unable to find user” message when running the stsadm –o enumsites command.
Solution:
- DONT PANIC!
- Simply specify the new site collection owner through the stsadm –o siteowner –url http://SiteCollectionURL–ownerlogin domain\newUserLogin
Proactive Solution:
- Always ensure that each site collection has both a Primary and Secondary site collection owner
