Hi All! Going thru a domain migration (from domainOLD to domainNEW) with MOSS 2007 SP3. Able to build new farm in domainNEW. Detached content databases from farm in domainOLD & attached to new farm in domainNEW without a problem. Performed a full import profile from both domainOld & domainNew. Performed a full crawl of all content on new farm. Everything looked good. Performed stsadm -o migrateuser..... -ignoresidhistory on users. Couple of errors due to exceeding quotas but fixed easily enough. Now when going to My Sites, all we see is the user profile information. We are not seeing any of the shared documents or links that the user might have had previously in the My Site. If I do an stsadm -o enumsites -url http://.......... I see mysites that are consuming space as expected but as I said, when we go to those sites that supposedly have content, all we see is the user's profile information. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi JavaJack1, This is may be caused by your content of My site is lost. Now, Youd best reset your my site. Please delete My site, then create a new My site. Because you detached the content database to a new domain, so, please ensure you have absolutely permission to your SharePoint. I suggest you to do it with backup and restore, this way may be more effective. Please refer to the following link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262412(v=office.12).aspx Thanks, Jack

Jack, Thanks for the reply. Further investigation has revealed two issues. The first issue is that the existing mysites were not renamed when the user account was changed in the domain migration. Say for instance in the old domain the user's account was domainOLD\user. In the new domain the user's account is domainNew\user01. So the user's mysite content was at the old location of /personal/user rather than being at the expected new name of /personal/user01. Easy enough to change thru a process of 1) backp the site /personal/user, 2) delete the site /personal/user , & 3) restore the site as /personal/user01. Not hard to do, just need to do it for about 400 sites. The second issue was loss of information of things like skills, responsibilities, etc. These pieces of information are stored in the SSP database. The SSP for the farm in the new domain was created by backing up the SSP database for domainOLD then restored with a new name for domainNEW. Then the stsadm -o restoressp command was used to create the SSP int the new farm. Looking at the SSP database for the farm in domainOLD, I can see the user information but if I look at the same table in the new farm in domainNEW, after running the stsadm -o migrateuser command, that same information is not there nor is it associated with the accounts in the new domain. Any idea why? I can programmatically retrieve the information from the domainOLD SSP database, but how can I programmatically get the data into the SSP database for the new farm? Any idea on how to bulk load the data? I could probably do the inserts into the database but I REALLY don't want to go that way and potentially become "unsupported".

Hi JavaJack1, I dont suggest you get the data by programmatically then insert your database. Some information like skills, responsibilities is in your new domain, you should synchronous these information from your new domain. Some configure database you neednt restore it. If you have already one site collection for Mysite in the new farm, please try the following steps to move MySite: 1. Do a DB backup for MySite content database in the old farm. 2. Restore the DB to the new farm database server. 3. Attach MySite content database to exist web application that host my site in new farm. If you want to merge the backup content database to the exist database, you can use stsadm Mergecontentdbs operation.
