Deleting Shared Services in a new deployment

Delete the default SSP, SharedServices1, in the newly installed deployment.

1
Open SharePoint Central Administration, and select Shared Services Administration from the menu on the navigation pane.
2
Note the web applications that are listed under SharedServices1.
3
On the Application Management page, in the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click Delete Web application.
4
Delete both web applications associated with the SharedServices1 SSP as noted in Step 2 with Delete content databases and IIS Web site set to Yes.
5
At the command prompt, use STSADM to delete the SharedServices1 SSP by entering the following command:
stsadm ‑o deletessp ‑title SharedServices1 ‑deletedatabases
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the default Shared Services entry in the newly installed deployment is not deleted, the restore job stops responding when trying to restore the Shared Search Index at the following step: Progress: [Shared Search Index] 90 percent complete.

Re-creating the web applications

Re-create all web applications for your farm before you perform a restore. This step ensures that the timer jobs associated with each web application are created.

1
Open SharePoint Central Administration, and select the Application Management tab.
2
In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click Create or extend Web application.
3
In the Adding a SharePoint Web Application section, click Create a new Web application.
4
Enter the settings for the new web application.
Ensure that the IIS web site and the Database Name match the web application as it existed on the source SharePoint deployment.
The web applications and associated database names are detailed in the NetVault Backup log for the backup job that is used in a disaster recovery. For example, if the NetVault Backup log for the backup job included the following tree for SharePoint, the following web applications must be created:
•
Web Application Name: SharePoint - 2073
•
Database Name: WSS_Content_PM
•
Web Application Name: SharePoint - 80
•
Database Name: WSS_Content

Deleting content databases

To ensure that the names of content databases for the new farm or server equal the names of the content databases for the source farm or server, ensure that all content databases for the web application being restored are deleted with the SQL Server Management Studio.

1
On the server where the SQL Server Instance resides, open SQL Server Management Studio.
2
In the Object Explorer, navigate to the Databases node, right-click the database that you want to delete, and select Delete.
3
On the Delete Object dialog box, select Close existing connections, and click OK.

Redeploying solutions

If you have a solution package that you want to redeploy, use the STSADM deploysolution option. In the following example, the -allcontenturls parameter is used to deploy the solution to all site collections within the farm.

stsadm ‑o deploysolution ‑name <mysolution.wsp> ‑allcontenturls
