In sharepoint 2013 i need to replace a user by an other. For this i use: 

Move-SPUser -Identity "DOMAIN\JaneDoe" -NewAlias "Domain\JaneSmith" -IgnoreSID

I give permission on a site to JaneDoe puting him in a group. After executing the command the user is remove from the group so he doesn't have anymore access but new user doesn't have access in his place! If i get the permission again to JaneDoe his name is now JaneSmith

Could you give me a sample to replace a user by an other like stsadm -o migrateuser in SP2007

Solution:

$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "i:0#.w|domain\janedoe" -Web http://webUrl Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias ":i:0#.w|domain\janesmith" -IgnoreSid

The proper use of this cmdlet is:

$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "i:0#.w|domain\janedoe" -Web http://webUrl
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "domain\janesmith" -IgnoreSid

The Get-SPUser example is using Windows Claims (drop the i:0#.w| if not using Windows Claims) and the -Web is a Site Collection where the user is present in the User Information List.

  • Thanks Effectively i retrieve user and then i use move-spuser as you did but the result is the same. It removes old user permission but doesn't give permission to the new one – user1898765 Apr 6 '16 at 20:11
  • Get the new user into the $user variable using the same method about and validate the SystemUserKey matches the SID of the object in Active Directory. – Trevor Seward Apr 6 '16 at 20:12
  • I had to add " :i:0#.w|" before login name in parameter -NewAlias – user1898765 Apr 7 '16 at 10:02
