I restored a WSS site into a SPS2003 site. I was wondering how do i do so,without losing the security. I used the smigrate utility with and without the-x parameter and both turns out the same, with only the site owner as an user.
The short answer is you can't - WSS sites can only be migrated with securityusing stsadm backup/restore, and the restore must be to another WSS site. smigrate -x only maintains security when migrating from previous versions (e.g.STS).
