This is a situation that is particular to our conversion, but could happen to others if they are converting from one Solaris box to another and have different uid values for the same people on both boxes, or have people who are no longer in the passwd file on the new box, but own files in your backing store.
When we convert, an idmap is automatically created, which is great. The problem is, we changed all the uids for all our users on the new server, and we also deleted a bunch of users who no longer work here and for other various reasons. So the idmap file has a bunch of tokens assigned to old uid values (and assigns the name to the old uid as well) that don't exist on the new TeamSite server. To correct this, you could painstakingly go through and figure out the map of the old uid to the new uid and who is assigned to that new uid, then manually change the idmap file. That's what we did the first time - not fun. Or, you can use a handy perl script I threw together that does it for you. If anyone has the same problem and needs to use my conversion script, let me know and I can pass it along.
