Hi, I hope someone can help me sort this one out here...I'm having 'Error migrating user profile' when try to migrate LDAPmember to Windows account after successfully importing the site to a new farm. Here is the command I'm using: Stsadm –o migrateuser –oldlogin ldapmember:fname.lname@domain.com –newlogin domain\ab012345 –ignoresidhistory ULS log file error I'm getting: The user account I'm using to is - part of the Farm admin group - has full access to the the content and admin db - local admin on the CA server Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advanced! MigrateAccount: Migrating user 'ldapmember:fname.lname@domain' to 'DOMAIN\AB012345' (SID lookup successful).

It appears the ID you're using to execute the STSADM command may not have full permissions to the environment. I would ensure that your executing account has all the required permissions.I trust that answers your question... Thanks C http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog

Any thoughts anyone? It gonna be painful redoing the permissions manually :(

That was exactly it Savoeurn! Where were you for so long - I've just wasted time looking all over the places :) Million thanks!!!
