Hi

Can anyone suggest me on how to run the  command "stsadm - o migrateuser -oldlogin XX\AA-newlogin YY\AA -ignoreidhistory"

in a bulk/batch for all users in a single shot  rather than running the command individually for each user.

Thanks in advance.

Assume that you got old logins and new logins in a csv file format like this:

Old, New
a,a1
b ,b1
c,c1

You can use below PowerShell script to help you:

$Data = Import-Csv "C:\Users\MGOYAL\Documents\Book1.csv"
Set-Location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\bin"
foreach($Item in $Data)
{
   .\stsadm.exe - o migrateuser -oldlogin $Item.Old -newlogin $Item.New -ignoreidhistory
}

Hope t

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for your response.

I tried this as you said and it is giving me an error and going to loop.

"command line error. Invalid Paramerter"

Thanks

Sorry, typo errors. Just remove the space between - and o. Or use below code:

$Data = Import-Csv "C:\Users\MGOYAL\Documents\Book1.csv"
Set-Location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\bin"
foreach($Item in $Data)
{
   .\stsadm.exe -o migrateuser -oldlogin $Item.Old -newlogin $Item.New -ignoreidhistory
}

Hi Mohit,

At first time itself I entered the correct code (As I know the syntax). 

So this is not working in my Dev environment, so I didn't run in Prod.

Hi,

 Instead of using stsadm - o migrateuser command , you can use the SPFarm.MigrateUserAccount.

Hi Jason,

I already tried this one. It gave me an error too.

The error was "Cannot add snappin..................already loaded"

Anyways thanks for your response.

To solve such error, you can refer to the following articles:

http://solvedstack.com/questions/how-to-check-if-powershell-snap-in-is-already-loaded-before-calling-add-pssnapin

I just noticed that, you are using -ignoreidhistory instead of -ignoreSidhistory.

I ran the script after modification and it works fine in my environment:

 Snap from book1:

Can you try after the same?

Hi Mohit,

It was was typo error while writing here, while testing I was using the correct sntax "ignoresidhistory"

Now I am receiving this error and this is going into infinite loop.

syntax error in argument: oldlogin.
syntax error in argument: newlogin.

I don't know what went on.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

When I tried back again after changing the snapin check, it just gives the migration complete message (I was using the script from the link that you have shared).

But I don't see the changes happen.

Thanks

Can you check if the data is in the correct csv format, as I have mentioned. Pls note that you need to keep the headers same in csv file i.e 1 line. You can modify the data from 2nd line onwards.

Everything is fine in the CSV file, when I run the powershell file (I save the code into ps1 file) it is giving error and going into infinite loop.
