Hello!
I just finished the upgrade of our Sharepoint Single Farm from Sharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint Server 2019. I now need to do some reorganization in our Site Collection.
Idea is to move all our top level sites to sub site of the root site collection.
To do this, I started to export one of our top level site with following command:
Export-SPWeb -Identity "http://pappel-sp2019/sites/Topside CM Server" -Path E:\TopsideSite.bak -NoFileCompression -includeusersecurity -IncludeVersions All
I created a blank sub site in our root top level site (http://pappel-sp2019/) whith command:
New-SPWeb -Url 'http://pappel-sp2019/TopsideCMServer' -UniquePermissions
Then I tried to import the old top level site as a sub site with this command:
Import-SPWeb -Identity "http://pappel-sp2019/TopsideCMServer" -Path E:\TopsideSite.bak -includeusersecurity -NoFileCompression
But I got a fatal error "Updates to system roles is not allowed." at step "Importing Role Limited Access":
[15.02.2019 15:59:24] [Progress] Importing Role Limited Access.
[15.02.2019 15:59:24] [FatalError] [] [System.InvalidOperationException] [Updates to system roles is not allowed.]

[15.02.2019 15:59:24] [Progress] Import did not complete.
I then tried to import without the argument "-includeusersecurity" which was successfull. However I then lose the user information of all my documents history.
I then tried to add exactly the same Site Permissions on my sub site as on the top level site prior to import. Didn't help; I get the same error.
As we definitely need user information in documents history, could you please help me on this topic?
Thanks!
