Here is a nice one:
Problem:
- User has a property changed in AD (like surname when married)
- Changes do not reflect in SharePoint 2007 when you view the user
Troubleshooting and Solution:
- First check that none of your content databases are in “offline” mode, if they are then changes will not be able to be written to them.
- Check that you are not having any synchronization events in the event log, this can happen if you previously moved a content database to another Web Application / moved SSPs without running the stsadm –preparetomove command.
- This is no longer necessary after the Infrastructure Update / SP2
- If you are still having the issue, then you can run the new stsadm –o sync ingoreisactive 1 command, this will force a fresh update on all profiles
- This is only available to SharePoint 2007 builds 12.0.6314.5000 and upwards.
- Once done, perform a full user profile import and the changes should now reflect
Alternative Solution:
- Create a test account
- Migrate the problem account to the test account using: stsadm –o migrateuser –oldlogin domain\problemAccount –newlogin domain\testAccount
- Migrate the testAccount back to the old problem account: stsadm –o migrateuser –oldlogin domain\testAccount –newlogin domain\problemAccount
- Done.
