Re: Cannot complete this action.

If you want this user back get your Active Directory guys ( or yourself if
that is you ) to do a AD restore of that user account from your last system
state backup. You will need to delete your new account first. The reason you
cannot just recreate a new user with the same name is that each new user
gets a unique sid and Sharepoint is referencing the old sid. Site collection
ownership is one of those times that this is checked against. Was this user
also your Sharepoint Administrator or do you have a seperate account that is
the sharepoint Admin ? When you are trying to go to manage site collection
owners which account are you logged as ?

Here is an article on restoring a user account -

The account for the site collection owner of my intranet site some how
became
deleted in AD. I have recreated the user, but now when I try and access
the
site I get the "Cannot complete this action." error. I tried to goto
manage
site collection owners and change the owner, but this action errors out
with
the same error.

Any Suggestions?
