The My Site of [user name] is scheduled for deletion

Hey Guys,
some of my users are getting the following email:
----- Original Message -----
From: SharePoint
To: user
Sent: Sun Oct 10 15:16:26 2010
Subject: The My Site of (username) is scheduled for deletion
The My Site of user is scheduled for deletion in 3 days. As their manager you are now the temporary owner of their site. This temporary ownership gives you access to the site to copy any business-related information you might need. To access the site use this URL: http://moss/my/personal/user
Now the issue is, that user has not been deleted, so there is no reason for their site to be deleted.
any ideas how to disable this?
Thanks,
Tony

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 5:01 PMThe message is going out because that user has NOT been included in the profile import for the last 3 full imports. That's why SharePoint thinks they are a deleted user. The short term fix is to turn off Automatic Web site deletion for the farm. But the longer term fix is to take a look at the logs for user profile import and figure out why those users haven't been importing successfully.

Though it is turned Off, mail with the message 'scheduled for deletion' will be sent though it will not delete. And the reponsible for this 'User Profile Change Cleanup Job'.
Check the Exclusion filter to verify if these users are being removed by that. As said by Paul only fix is to check Profile Import, from my understanding this mail cannot be stopped if they are not imported from AD to Profile Store.

Okay. Based on the condition what you have set, i am really not sure of the impact. However the explicit condition what we have used restrict disabled account from importing is
userAccountControl "Bit on equals" 2.

Hi Satheesh,
That is what i used to have. Then I had to place a support call to Microsoft because I wasnt synchronizing...and they had me change it.
Thanks,

This article is what i have used
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brporter/archive/2010/02/20/excluding-disabled-user-accounts-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx for our environment which is working good.
Use a LDAP browser to verify the actual attributes of missed user
Example LDAP browser is Softerra LDAP Browser 2.6.

Hi,
apologize for a mistake here. As said by Tone, though autodeletion is disabled for all the web applications, it still went and delete the my site of the user. It was not expected behavior though.

Hi,
We have this same kind of issue with my site cleanup. For some reason few users was marked as deletion (we don't know yet why) even that the users are active and now their managers are receiving these notification emails. Now one those user's my site was deleted this morning!!!
So the first question is how to stop this deletion process/workflow if the user account/profile is active again? Is there some stsadm/powershell command which can be used for this?
Second one is that is there a way to just disable these notifications -> The My Site of (username) is scheduled for deletion? We don't want disable the clean up job, so that the dead profiles and my sites are deleted but we don't either want that these notifications are sent to managers.
Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,
I am exactly in the same situation. Don't want to disable the job, but stop the mail notification to be sent and actually stop the site being deleted. Let us see if someone else has any say on this.

Hi,
Nice to know that I am not alone :)
But no answers... is it really so that there is no way to disable the The My Site of (username) is scheduled for deletion notifications and stop the deletion process if it has already started?
Regards,
Pete

Hi,
Unfortunately I have not found any real solution for this problem but I planned to test the use of profile_RemoveUser stored procedure like the following blog posts instructs... but without cursors :)

If I understood correctly that way I am able to get rid of those manager email messages but still be able to clean up dead profiles and my sites.

Few facts about this functionality
-> My site will be deleted on 14th day and cannot be configured
-> Mail will be sent irrespective of 'Site usage confirmation' for that web application
->Manager will be assigned as secondary contact of users personal site.
One good thing, they have a interface as 'IProfileEventInterface' which can be used to implement a method 'PreProfileDeleted' which does all these operation
Once a class implementing this interface is defined, we can assign this through stsadm command 'stsadm -o profiledeleteeventhandler'
