Hi all, On top of that, there is a new command in stsadm that deals with moving site collections to other content databases. Look it up here http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/829cfa96-89b1-4a7b-b980-6d5d3e2a3ee11033.mspx?mfr=true
I haven't tried it myself but you can use the source and dest content database parameters. It saves you from doing the trick that John pointed out in the blgo post of shutting down the content database, backup, delete and restore. This seems much simpler (I have done this method several times by the way!, it is not fun:( ) Has anyone tried this new method? regards, Sergio Otoya | Technical Director |livePoint | SharePoint Solutions E [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>| w +61 2 9929 6333 | m +61 (0) 416 275 110 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ishai Sagi Sent: Monday, 25 February 2008 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Adding Content Databases Hmmm...wasnt aware of that.

I would also like to be able to do this with a services installtion that has grown out of site and the 4gb slq-e database just wont cope long term, could i not just add another sql(full) content database? again same question as above would apply.
