New user account does not have a valid SID history - migrateuser: SharePoint 2007

Issue: While executing the SharePoint Migrateuser staadm command,

Stsadm –o migrateuser –oldlogin -newlogin

We run in to error: New user account does not have a valid SID history.

Resolution: Use the –ignoresidhistory switch at the end of the stsadm command to overwrite the SID history forcibly.

Stsadm –o migrateuser –oldlogin -newlogin

-ignoresidhistory
