Migrating Data from an Old Drupal Install
May 12, 2011, 06:42:51 am
I have a drupal install that I am pretty sure began life as CiviCRM 1.3 on Drupal 5. Through upgrades and modifications of which Drupal modules are installed the site's database has gotten pretty crufty. As such, I would like to export the data from the current site and reimport it into a clean drupal 7 CiviCRM 4 site. Exporting the Drupal users is easy, as is exporting the CiviCRM data. What I need to figure out is how to sync them again once they are in the new system. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

I think if you do the CiviCRM import after the Drupal users, it will automatically synchronize.

If not, then just use Synchronize Users to Contacts at civicrm/admin/synchUser?reset=1
