The SiteOrphan rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 lists the names of site collections that are not in the site map

INTRODUCTION

The SiteOrphan rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 lists the names of site collections that are not in the site map.

MORE INFORMATION

When you run Pre-Upgrade Checker, this rule lists the names of site collections that are not in the site map. Therefore, the upgrade code cannot access the site collections. The following is a list of reasons why the site collections cannot be accessed:
  • Sites that are not in the site map because of synchronization issues.
  • Sites that are not in the site map because of duplicate URLs.
  • Sites that are not in the site map because of duplicate host headers.
The rule recommends that you detach and then reattach the content database, or delete certain site collections, to fix the orphaned site collections.

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.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
