Today, I was introduced to the SysLastValue table and how it can be used for repairing user accounts without having to recreate users from scratch with a different User ID. I've done a lot of research on this but haven't been able to find any blogs or posts out there that describe best practices for this particular task. I was wondering if any other members in the community have used this tool for repairing corrupt user accounts or can provide any useful insights to the tool itself.
This is how you access the tool.
From there, it brings up a Usage data table. There are various tabs with tons of information within each and I wanted to know the best practices for removing user data from these tables from a corrupt account standpoint.
- Are there common culprit areas I should check first? I know it can "depend on the problem", but I bet some tabs are more prone to error than others.
- Is it advisable to jump between each tab and nuke all entries of the corrupt user?
I guess my overall goal is how to use this tool in the most minimalistic manner as possible. Having to completely nuke a user from these tabs is OK if it works, but it would be nice to preserve their customizations if feasible.
Thanks.
