Import User Profile with Auto-Create My site, Possible?

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:51:32 Z

Hi all,

I'm trying to import my company's AD Users' Profile.

Is there a way that after importing, their "My Site" will be created automatically?

I need this because I only want the My Site feature for staffs and not students.

Pls advise. Thanks in advanced

I haven't seen anything that will automatically create a MySite for everyone, you would need to write some custom code that cycles through the profiles and creates sites for the people who meet your criteria.

With that said, you still have the permissions issue. It is the permissions that ultimately decide who can create a site. This is part of the "Personalization services permissions"

You will need to remove the NT Authority\Authenticated Users and specify the users that can have a site (i.e. the staff)

Great. Thanks for the part on the "Personalization services permission". I know what to do from there.

However, my main concern is the auto-creation for the My Site. Maybe I can try to look for some custom code on how to write. Thanks
