stsadm -o enumusers explained
I came across some odd behviour with the stsadm -o enumusers command. As it seems it does not enumerate the users of a site collection as expected. After doing some research I found a white paper from the guys of Mindsharp explaining this function as follows:
"stsadm.exe -o enumusers -url <url> displays dead users, which is defined as users who no longer have a user account listed in the SharePoint profile database, but is still displayed in the site's membership. For example, dead users can include users who have left an organization and have been removed from Active Directory. This parameter works on a site-x-site basis. the Enumusers command may also return the system Account (SHAREPOINT\system) shich is not a valid AD user"

I thought some of you would want to know about this.
