Wondering if there is a Powershell script to copy all subscriptions over from one list to another list. I've a situation where user re-created a list to under a subsite and would like to copy all old user alerts to the new list. There are quite few (over 1k :-)) immediate and scheduled subscription in the old list. Therefore it is preferred to avoid asking users to redo the subscriptions.

Old list url something like: http://siteurl/subsite/list new url: http://siteurl/subsite/subsubsite/list

Questions:

  1. Once the new alerts are created through PS - would the user get a notification saying they are subscribed to the new URL? If so can this be avoided?
  2. Any reference as how to removed the old list subscriptions once they are copied over?
  3. Scrip would copy Immediate/ Scheduled subscription settings correctly? for example if someone had a setting to get immediate alert right away for anythings changes vs changes done to his/ her items etc.

Found references here and also there but could not get these to customize to the current need (not a great coder) :-(.

Any feedback or pointer would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advanced!
