Updating site owners via STSADM
Updating site owners via STSADM
- Is there a method to update site owners via the stsadm command? A user that left is named as a site owner for several sites and I would like to script an update to update the sites that this person is named as either a primary owner or secondary owner to another user. We are running in a SPS 2003 environment currently.

- This is for Wss 2.0 so i think it's ok also for SPs2003
Change the owner of a site collection by using Stsadm.exe
-
Determine the URL of the site and the user name of the user you want to add as site owner. If you want to add a secondary owner, determine that user's user name.
-
On the server running Windows SharePoint Services, open a command prompt.
-
Type the following, replacing the italicized text with the correct information
stsadm.exe -o siteowner -url URL [-ownerlogin DOMAIN\User_Name | -secondownerlogin DOMAIN\User_Name]
