ok so I am attempting to migrate a large amount of content from one MOSS
server to another on a different farm in the same domain. I have migrated
all of the sites except the largest (of course) which has failed using the
same technique as the others which was to use "stsadm -o export".
If I use "stsadm -o export" it failes about 50-60% the way through the
import. I have even tried the nofilecompression option on export and import
to get around disk space problems.
Anyway, i want to try the migration path option but when I attempt to set up
the path I get
Value does not fall within the expected range.
After some hunting around I found two references to this problem:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101633851033.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926281
The machine I am trying to migrate has been in use since Beta TR1(?) I
believe and has since been upgraded to RTM.
The problem occurs when I attempt to run the set of commands described in
both articles as follows:
Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name deployment -url URL
Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name migration -url URL
Stsadm -o activatefeature -name deployment -url URL
Stsadm -o activatefeature -name migration -url URL
When I run either of the first two commands I get the following error
Failed to find the XML file at location
'12\Template\Features\deployment\feature.xml'
Failed to find the XML file at location
'12\Template\Features\migration\feature.xml'
I have looked and of course those files do not exist. What I dont understand
though is that they do not exist on my new clean server to which I have been
importing content to and that I am able to create deployment paths from the
new machine to the old... Am I missing some feature files?
All help and advice greatly appreciated
Cheers!
