Dirk Van den Berghe, I beliieve this below article says what I am facing for our farm. Our SharePoint Farm is in Production for last 2.5 yrs . It was upgraded from MOSS 2007 to SP 2010 . Is there any way to fix this issue unless deleting these user profiles manually from SharePoint site ? What kind of third party tool we may use to counter this problem.

Hi, Here's a useful blog post which contains 2 scripts. 1 to create a list of Orphaned accounts and the second to delete them based on the list created. There are 3rd party tools which can provide a nice user interface that will perform tasks such as replace the orphaned user with another, for role changes and personnel changes which are available. http://www.sharepointclowns.com/2011/04/find-and-delete-orphaned-users/Paul Turner http://redmanta.co.uk/blog Twitter: @RedMantaUK MCTS:WSS,MOSS,2010 MCITP:2010.

Hi, that is strange, because I have also used these scripts to do the exact same thing and it worked perfectly.Dirk Van den Berghe
