changing owner of scheduled reports

server administration XI Server Discussion
1

I have a user who is having some security based issues. I think dropping her and recreating her would resolve her issues.

However she has over 100 scheduled reports which I would like to take ownership of so they won’t be lost or need to be rescheduled. They are a mixture of both WEBI and DESKI reports with multiple destination types too.

Rare need for something like this so I doubt I could jutify cost of 3rd party tool. Running XIR2 SP3 on Windows 2003.

If you delete a user then instances owned by that user comes under administrator. So idealy recurring instances should also get ownership of administrator but we have observed that after deleting the user those recurring instances also get deleted. I guess this is a bug. So before taking final decesion create a test user and test it. :slight_smile:
