Re: Cannot add user to WSS3

Wow, it's a known issue, but they don't know what causes it and don't know
how to have you avoid it in the future? Makes you wonder how "known" it is.
Bummer.

Thanks for getting back to us though. Even if the fix is tedious, at least
there is one, for those who need it.

So, the cause is unknown to Microsoft but they know its an issue. Their
"fix"
is to stsadm -o export each site, sub site and sub sub site and so on,
delete
the site and then stsadm -o import each site, sub site and sub sub site
and
so on. Then recreate/add all of the users and security permissions.

Nice eh? I'm not looking forward to this fix. Fortunatly, this current app
has about 16 sites and as many users. They are going live Friday with
1000+
users so the fix is necessary. I did ask if it's avoidable in the future,
he
said that they don't know how it is caused so they can't fix it. Yeah,
great
answer!

Anyway, I'm going to do some poking and see if I can find a better
solution,
or write up my own script to automate the fix. I'll let you know what I
come
up with.

You're right, there is only a handful of users in the system right now,
but
trying to go live with it by Friday... I have a call with MS open and
plan
on
resolving tomorrow.

David, I have set up several ADAC sharepoint farms, and have never had
the
error you are experiencing. I know it's been a couple of days since
you
posted and you've gotten no response. And frankly, that's probably
because
no one has come across this error (as you've discovered by the
complete
lack
of info online).

Obviously you haven't had sharepoint installed long if you can't
consistently add users. Have you considered doing a reinstall/repair?

Howdy,

I have a WSS3 installation in AD Creation Mode. When I try to create
a
new
user WSS creates the account in AD and emails the user but errors
and
will
not add the user to the SharePoint site. If I create a user first in
AD
then
add them to the site I get the same error, but no email. The error
below
is
displayed on the web page

Exception Occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020009
(DISP_E_EXCEPTION))

Below is from the diagnostic log

11/09/2007 10:05:01.51 w3wp.exe (0x0F24)
0x11AC Windows SharePoint Services General
837l Exception An unhandled exception occured. Watson will be
invoked.

Event viewer has nothing!

I've done loads of searching on this and have nothing. Can you point
me
in
the right direction as to where I can start troubleshooting? I'll
take
anything at this point!

Thanks a ton!!
