Migration of old user information

DevOps_glg0qh

We run a Confluence installtion on a local virtual server and are planing to migrate to Confluence Cloud. In fact we already did a test migration but are missing some old information

The user information (e.g. posted or created from) on articles/pages from former employees does not exist anymore, are vanished and replaced with 'unknown' editor marks.
But this information is nesessary for the history.

How can this be solved that Confluence entries still posess this kind of references?

Thank you in advance

rgds,

@DevOps Welcome to the Atlassian community

Are the accounts that are coming over as unknown disabled or do they no longer exist in your instance? How are you managing users on your server instance?

Hi Brant

The accounts still exist but do not have a license assigned to them.
Users are imported from Windows Active Directory via LDAP (group).

@DevOps It will only bring over the active users. Would you be able to activate them and then migrate and then deactivate them? Do you need them for historical purposes?

@Brant Schroeder - We don't have enough licenses at the current Confluence to license former employees again. And yes we need them for historical purposes.
