401 Unauthorizd error when you try to access the Shared Services Provider site
Posted on 16. Jan, 2010 by admin in Sharepoint
When accessing the shared services provider site you get ”401 Unauthorized” error after you get prompted 3 times to enter your username and password.
This normally happens if there was some change in the accounts used to access the shared services site such as changing the domain account or if you are using local account and you rename the server, if you try with any admin account you will get the same error ”401 Unauthorized”.
Solution:
You can solve the issue by running the command: stsadm –o migrateuser …..
Or what i did and worked, deattach from Central Aministartion Site the content database for the Shared Services Site and then reattach it which will solve the issue.
