All well and good, but what about if I want to delete a bunch of user profiles. Is there a way to shut the email notification for MySites off?

Comment on Update Hyperlink Field in SharePoint with PowerShell by Ian Hayse

I use the free PowerShell editor from Quest.
http://www.quest.com/powershell/

Make sure to add the add-pssnapin…
Also try updating a sub-site.

Your code should look something like this:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

$web = Get-SPWeb "sharepoint/sites/yourSubSite"
$spList = $web.Lists["Your List Name"]

			foreach($Item in $spList.Items )
			{
				$ofldurl= new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUrlValue($Item["URL"])

				$ofldurl.URL = $ofldurl.URL.Replace("1033/", "")
				$ofldurl.Description = $ofldurl.Description.Replace($ofldurl.Description, $ofldurl.Description)

				$item["URL"] = $ofldurl
				$item.update()
			}

$Web.Dispose()

When I tried to run the script (having first modified it to point to things in my world), I received the following error:
New-Object : Cannot find type [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite]: make sure the assembly containing this type is loaded.
At Z:\extranets\fixurls.ps1:6 char:21
+ $spSite = new-object <<<< Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($siteurl)
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

It seems I missing some software, any ideas on what? Thanks!

I was running into the same thing. I downloaded Fiddler2 and installed it, had to get it to decrypt the https traffic, but sure enough it identified a missing feature. I had to remove the feature a few days before to perform a service pack update on the server, copied over the files and it started working again. Great find.

After trying many things this worked for me. In my case the password never changed. It just quit working after a microsoft update. To change the password, right click the SBS app pool, select Basic Settings, find account and click the (…) button. It will then prompt you for username and password and wham you are back in business.

Better way would be to use PowerShell.

It was one of those days when I posted this.
