Migrating User Account Setup from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010
Be sure you have at least the Minimum SharePoint 2007 Product Release (shown in the table below) installed before migrating. If not, upgrade your Bamboo product release before migrating. For more information, see Upgrading your Bamboo Web Part. Also, the target SharePoint 2010 farm requires at least the Minimum SharePoint 2010 product release shown.
IMPORTANT: When migrating from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010, you MUST select the option to change existing SharePoint sites to use the new user experience. Your Bamboo products will not perform as expected with the old look and feel.

| Issues |
The User Account Setup Web Part does not successfully migrate to SharePoint 2010. The user will experience 2 separate issues:
- The User Account Setup Web Part display fails. Instead, the Web Part shows the error:
Web Part Error: One of the properties of the Web Part has an incorrect format.
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the
format of the properties and try again.
-
When adding the Web Part to the page in SharePoint 2010, users will see two instances of the Web Part in the Web Part gallery.
-
The first entry in the Web Part Gallery can be added to the page without any problems.
-
When adding the second entry to the page, users will see the following error:
Bamboo.HelperWebParts.CreateUser.CreateUser class does not derive from
the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart class and therefore cannot
be imported or used in a WebPartZone control
|
| Resolution |
To resolve Case 1, you will need to delete the existing User Account Setup Web Part instance and add a new instance to the page. Before resolving Case 1, you will need to resolve Case 2 or pick the first web part in the Gallery.
Follow these steps to resolve isse 2 by removing an instance from the Gallery:
-
Log into SharePoint 2010 as a Site Collection Administrator and go to Site Actions > Site Settings on the top site of a Site Collection.
-
In the Site Collection Administration section, click Site Collection Features.
-
Locate the entry Bamboo User Account Setup Web Part and click Deactivate then Deactivate Feature.
-
Return to Site Settings. In the Galleries section, click Web Part Gallery.
-
Locate the entry Bamboo User Account Setup Web Part (there should only be one) and delete this entry.
-
Return to Site Collection Administration and click Site Collection Features.
-
Locate the entry Bamboo User Account Setup Web Part and click Activate.
-
Repeat for other Site Collections where the User Account Setup web part is used.
