Migrates a user account in SharePoint Products.
Move-SPUser [-Identity] <SPUserPipeBind> -NewAlias <String> [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>]
[-Confirm] [-IgnoreSID] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
The Move-SPUser cmdlet migrates user access from one domain user account to another. If an entry for the new login name already exists, the entry is marked for deletion to make way for the migration.
For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.
$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "DOMAIN\JaneDoe" -Web https://webUrl
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "Domain\JaneSmith" -IgnoreSid
This example migrates DOMAIN\JaneDoe to the new account of DOMAIN\JaneSmith.
$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "DomainA\JaneDoe" -Web https://webUrl
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "DomainB\JaneDoe"
This example migrates DOMAIN\JaneDoe from DomainA to the new account of DOMAINB\JaneDoe in DomainB with SID History enabled.
$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "i:0#.w|DOMAIN\JaneDoe" -Web https://webUrl
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "i:0#.w|Domain\JaneSmith" -IgnoreSid
This example migrates DOMAIN\JaneDoe to the new account of DOMAIN\JaneSmith when using Windows Claims. -IgnoreSid
must always be used with Move-SPUser
when using a Claims Identity, such as Windows Claims.

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
