Restoring a Moodle collaboration site from Archive to Production

If you are trying to restore a collaboration site from Archive unto Production but are getting user data errors, check to make sure that all users who appear in the error box have the exact same user information in their profiles on the Archive and Production servers. You can open two windows a do a side-by-side comparison. For example, make sure all email addresses and ID numbers match exactly between like users. If they do not, Moodle will not let you restore the course onto the production server (because it assumes this is not the same user). Please refer to the attached document for screen shots.
