SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS2003) - Migrating Users and more with SPUserUti

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS2003) – Migrating Users and More – SPUserUtil

July 9th, 2008

Simon Seagrave

Here is a link to the useful, and free, SharePoint Portal Server (SPS2003) utility, SPUserUtil.

Keith Richie originally developed this suite of utilities a few years ago whilst working for Microsoft. Though it is no longer supported by Keith or, as it never was by Microsoft it does contain very comprehensive documentation.

Unfortunately this suite is very difficult to come by these days so below is link to a copy. As always, use at your own risk.

SPUserUtil.zip

Here are some relevant links to Keith’s old blog which contain some additional information.

Hi Curt,

Hmm, this isn’t an error I’ve seen with this before. What were you doing or what syntax were you using when you got this error message?

Cheers,

Si
