   Hey,

   Awesome script really saved me!! I just had to fix one minor thing:

   $userProfiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator()

   This line should actually be:
   $userProfiles = $userprofileManager.GetEnumerator()

   As that is the variable created by the previous statement.

   Thanks,
   Andreas

   Hi,

   I’ve just changed the URL of the My Site, and I’m having a bit of issues with this script, since I’m a complete newbie to Powershell.

   When trying to run the script I’m getting prompted for TypeName, could you tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Thanks!

   Thanks a lot for this script, saved me heaps of trouble!
   In regards to the comment above, I was getting some errors due to the fact that I wasn’t running the script as a user with permissions to change the MySite.

   @Peter
   You’re welcome… At least I did not mention that you better run this script in a Powershell elevated by a farm administrator. Thanks for the hint on that.

   I was having trouble changing my URL from http://portal/my/ to http://portal/ – The script ran fine, but the old and new URLS were the same. I changed this line:

   $newPictureUrl = $oldPictureUrl.Replace($mySiteOldUrlValue, $mySiteNewUrlValue)

   to

   $newPictureUrl = $oldPictureUrl -Replace($mySiteOldUrlValue, $mySiteNewUrlValue)

   and everything worked.

   I have run this script and it completes without errors, but I noticed the path for some of the photos is:
   oldPictureUrl = https://mysite.companyname.net/user photos/profile picturesUser Photos/Profile Pictures/me_MThumb.jpg –> newPictureUrl = https://mysite.companyname.net/user photos/profile picturesUser Photos/Profile Pictures/me_MThumb.jpg

   Any ideas how I can correct the duplicate path? If I manually remove the duplicate user photos/profile pictures (so that there is only 1 in the path) then it displays the picture in the browser.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   @Duane Alleman
   You could simply edit the script not to replace old vs. new url but replace that “double” url:
   [code]
   $newPictureUrl = $oldPictureUrl -Replace "user photos/profile picturesUser Photos/Profile Pictures", "user photos/profile pictures"
   [/code]

   @Jonathon McDougall
   Thanks for the hint, I changed that.
