Migration Issue

[Tony]

Hello,

NT 4 domain, Migrating to 2003 AD

Project Server 2003 and SharePoint already installed and in AD.

We have Project Server 2003 with SharePoint installed on the same box. We
have lots of Projects and Project Workspaces on the SharePoint site. We
added users to Project by putting them in by their user accounts. When I
migrate a user using the ADMT tool, everything works great on the network
except for the Project Server. I can go in and update their user id
properties with the new domain info and now they can connect to the Project
Server. However, when they try to access a workspace for a project, they
can't. If I go in, as the Admin, to see who has access to the Site on
SharePoint, it still shows their old account info. It doesn't seem to show
up with the new info. Is there something I'm missing? Is my process flawed?

Cheers,
Tony

WSS is not a very seamless tool when it comes to updating User information.
User Information is stored separately from Project Server in the WSS Content
Database in the UserInfo table. I do not believe that it synchronizes any
data other than permissions. So a change in email, windows user account,
and user name do not get updated automatically. If you changed Windows
Domain then you will have an issue here.

I don't know of a way to get this fixed other than doing an update on the
database.

Tony:

Have you tried using the site synchronization tool? Find this by logging
onto PWA as an administrator and select Manage Windows SharePoint Services,
then select Manage SharePoint Sites. Select a site and click on synchronize
in the toolbar. Let us know if this helps.

Yes, I found out about this and tried it out. It worked to update the user
info among all of the projects but if there are issues assigned to people,
that doesn't get updated. They need to manually re-assign the issues to
their account and then it's fine. The only problem is that some of them have
over 100 issues assigned to them.
