Error message when you try to run stsadm.exe -o setconfigdb together with the -hh parameter in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0: "Command line error. Invalid parameter"
You try to run the
stsadm.exe -o setconfigdb
command together with the
-hh parameter to create a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 configuration database or to specify a connection to an existing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 configuration database. For example, you type the following command at the command line:
stsadm -o setconfigdb -databaseserverServerName -hh
When you do this,
you receive the following error message:
Command line error. Invalid parameter
Additionally, when you type
stsadm -help setconfigdb to
view the options for the setconfigdb command, the -hh option is listed in the following code.
stsadm.exe -o setconfigdb
[-connect]
-databaseserver <database server>
[-databaseuser <database user>]
[-databasepassword <database user password>]
[-databasename <database name>]
[-hh]
[-exclusivelyusentlm]
[-farmuser]
[-farmpassword]
[-adcreation]
[-addomain <Active Directory domain>]
[-adou <Active Directory OU>]
This behavior occurs because the -hh parameter was used to turn on scalable hosting mode in Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. However, the -hh parameter is no longer used with the setconfigdb option in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
To resolve this behavior, use the
-hostheaderwebapplicationurl parameter when you use the
stsasdm -o createsite command to create a Windows SharePoint Services site. This lets Windows SharePoint Services sites that are in scalable hosting mode communicate with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual server sites that are not in scalable hosting mode.
The following is an example of how to use the
-hostheaderwebapplicationurl parameter when you use the stsasdm -o createsite command to create a Windows SharePoint Services site:
stsadm.exe -o createsite
-url url
-ownerlogin DOMAIN\name
-owneremail someone@example.com
-hostheaderwebapplicationurl Web application url
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
