The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing

Hi,
If you encounter this error, it means you are trying to restore a database which is still active.

In order to restore the DB you should run the command with REPLACE command.

If you do it by sql command, add "WITH REPLACE" keyword at the end of the command.

Or if you do by Management Studio, Go to Options on the Left of the Restore screen.

In Restore Options Check "Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)" checkbox.


Cheers

Hi,

Cannot uninstall Language Pack 0 because it is not deployed

If you have this error, it means you are trying to uninstall a solution which is not installed (deployed).

So,
First check Central Administration - System Settings - Manage Farm Solutions - Check if your solution is deployed. If it is not, deploy it.

If you have trouble by deploying it, try to remove the solution. (Yeah, skip uninstall phase)

Removing solution PowerShell cmd:
Remove-SPSolution -Identity solution.wsp -Force
Removing solution stsadm cmd:
stsadm -o deletesolution -name solution.wsp -override

Add Solution PowerShell cmd:
Add-SPSolution D:\solution.wsp
Add Solution stsadm cmd:
stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename D:\solution.wsp

Install Solution PowerShell cmd:
Install-SPSolution –Identity solution.wsp -GACDeployment -Force
Install Solution stsadm cmd:
stsadm -o deploysolution -name solution.wsp -immediate -allowCasPolicies -force -allowGacDeployment

Sharepoint 2010 - No content databases in the web application were available to store your site collection

Hi,
One of the weird behaviours of Sharepoint is that if you remove a site collection and restore it it would give the error "The operation that you are attempting to perform cannot be completed successfully. No content databases in the web application were available to store your site collection. The existing content databases may have reached the maximum number of site collections, or be set to read-only, or be offline, or may already contain a copy of this site collection. Create another content database for the Web application and then try the operation again."

The reason is that the deleted solution is not deleted, it is still in some sort of a Recycle Bin of SP, so if you d like to restore the SC, SP prompt you this error.

For example,
If you delete the SC from the Central Admin, you ll see the deleted site is still in somewhere.

You can see the deleted site with the command (PowerShell)

get-spdeletedsite

In order to delete this site properly, you can use one of the following commands:

Remove-SPSite –Identity http://sharepoint.com
get-spdeletedsite -webapplication http://sharepoint | Remove-SPDeletedSite
remove-spdeletedsite a56372bd-c6cc-4389-a8cb-089e0cddf7e3 -confirm:$false

But, keep in mind that the Gradual Delete Job would not delete the site right away, even you query the deleted site list with  "get-spdeletedsite" command, you ll see nothing, it doesn t mean that they are removed.

I think the Gradual Delete Job works once in a day or sth like that, so you should start the job manually.

Since I have done this job at the end of the day, in the morning everything was just fine.

I ll share if I can find how to trigger the job manually, I think it is in Central Admin - Monitoring..

Cheers

Sharepoint 2010 Export all the solutions (wsp files)

Hi,

If you d like to get all the solutions (wsp files) from a sharepoint server and save them into a location, you just need the below code:

Open the Power Shell as Admin, type:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell –erroraction SilentlyContinue 

## setup our output directory 

$dirName = "d:\exports\ExportedSolutions" 

Write-Host Exporting solutions to $dirName 

 foreach ($solution in Get-SPSolution) 

 { 

 $id = $Solution.SolutionID 

 $title = $Solution.Name 

 $filename = $Solution.SolutionFile.Name 

 Write-Host "Exporting ‘$title’ to …\$filename" -nonewline 

 try 

{ 

 $solution.SolutionFile.SaveAs("$dirName\$filename")

 Write-Host " – done" -foreground green 

 } 

 catch 

 {

 Write-Host " – error : $_" -foreground red 

 }

 }

You can change the output location as you want, it would save all the solutions.

Great time saver !

Cheers
