Hi, folks
I had a Sharepoint Services 3 intranet site hosted on a W2k3 domain controller which recently suffered a hardware failure. Luckily, I had a backup of the site. The server also hosted Microsoft Search Server Express 2008. The site was hosted on just the one server so it was a stand-alone installation.
I have now replaced the faulty hardware and have reinstalled everything on the DC - W2k3 and Sharepoint Services 3 and Search Server Express. The DC has a new name and IP address.
I have run Microsoft Update after reinstalling the software and everything is as up-to-date as it can be. I also installed all optional updates.
I have copied the backed-up Sharepoint data to the DC. When I try to restore the farm I specify the local folder containing the backup. The restore process recognises the data and I can select the entire 'Farm' to be restored. I choose to restore it as a New installation and change the names on the next page replacing the old server name with the new one.
After I click OK the restore operation fails with the following error:
I've read various threads and articles about this and they all refer to granting the required permissions to the account that is attempting to restore the data. The backup was originally made using my domain account from my PC. I have tried copying the backup data to my PC and restoring it by opening the Sharepoint site's Operations page but the data cannot be accessed. I have also tried to restore it by logging onto the DC as the domain administrator and trying a restore from there, again using a local copy of the data but I get the error seen above.
When trying this from the DC I added every single sharepoint group and account and every single SQL group and account to the folder's security and gave them full control. I have made the domain administrator account a member of every sharepoint and SQL group, too.
I have also seen reference to content deployment options where you can enable deployments but I am unable to find the page that allows me to configure this. Is this option only available in Sharepoint 2007 onwards?
Any Sharepoint Services 3 wizards out there who can help me with this, please?
Thanks.
