Re-allocate UPN tool
Before running the ReAllocateUPN.exe:
1. Check that the ReAllocate UPN tool is being run from a local drive. It will not work from a networked drive.
2. Check that the Server Name and Database name match with that contained in the connect.ini file (SIMS .net folder)
3. The SIMS User should be either a SIMS User or the SA account. It will not work with the SYSMAN login.
Running the ReAllocateUPN.exe:
Double click the reallocateUPN.exe, enter your login details and the UPN you wish to re-allocate
This will bring up the record that is retaining the UPN.
Click 're-allocate' to delete the UPN
Which can now be re-allocated in SIMS .net as required.
What the ReAllocateUPN tool does:
1. Finds any UPNs which have been allocated as temporary UPNs or have been given to Applicants;
2. If the user chooses to re-allocate the UPN, the UPN will be removed from the database to allow its re-use, however, it will NOT allow re-use of UPN's currently in use by On-Roll students or Applicants in the database.
