Hi Clayton,

I've re-run both the FixPageLayouts and FixPageContact commands offered by Gary 
Lapointe for stsadm. Life-saver.

This seems to have fixed everything with the exception of the homepage and root 
site pages, where the Content Type drop-down has now mysteriously disappeared 
from the Edit Properties screen.

If we have to do this every time we perform content migration tasks I'm going 
to go nuts.

Does no one else experience these issues, or are we the only ones silly enough 
to be using publishing sites on a grand scale?

The problem appears to lie with Page Layout URLs not being updated with the new 
domain path during migration. And if the pages were created or last modified by 
a user who no longer exists (i.e. your 3rd party developer!) you get the user 
Unknown error.

It also rears its ugly head every time I create a site (which I do often) from 
a site template which was saved IN the development environment BY said 3rd 
party developr. :)

I've updated all the paths I can see but there's a bunch of redundant task and 
contact info in the STP files which just looks like too much trouble to 
remove/update. Looks like I'll have to rebuild them all from scratch in 
production.

What a nightmare.

Regards,

Paul

Subject: RE: Another problem with Page Settings

Hi Paul

I experienced the same thing at a company when they changed their domain name 
and therefore couldn't find the user that created the page. I was unable to 
enter Page Settings to change page layouts and so forth....

Never came across a solution..

Subject: Another problem with Page Settings

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing another bizarre problem with accessing Page Settings screen. I 
ran the custom stsadm FixLayout command previously to repair the problem with 
renaming the source URL for layout pages. The change was made and all was well, 
I'm sure, for a while.

Now I'm getting "User cannot be found" on some pages and the usual "Value does 
not fall within the expected range." On the others.

If I go to Edit Pages from the library view, change the content type and 
confirm, I can then access Page Settings again. But clearly I don't want to 
have to do this for every page.

Can anyone point to a more global solution?

Regards,
