Title

Cannot create new site collections, Quest.SharePoint.Auditing.Monitor_SiteFeature already activated
Description

During site or site collection creation the user occasionally receives the error, "Feature 'Quest.SharePoint.Auditing.Monitor_SiteFeature' is already activated at scope". The site or site collection is still created as expected.
Cause

Product defect.
Resolution

WORKAROUND
1. Go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\Quest.SharePoint.Auditing.Monitor_FarmFeature\FarmFeatureElements
2. Modify the Elements.xml file to only contain:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
</Elements>
3. Run IISRESET for SharePoint to pick up the change to the feature
Note: If in the future, an upgrade to Change Auditor occurs or the Change Auditor SharePoint solution is re-deployed, the workaround above would need to be implemented again.
STATUS
Waiting fix in a future release of Change Auditor.
