Hi again I've managed to solve the issue. It turns out that setting your source content database to read only prevents the "stsadm -o export" from working properly for some weird reason. I set the source database back to read-write mode, exported a site, and then imported it onto the new server with no issues whatsoever.
As a matter of interest, does anyone know why the 'export' command would fail if the DB is read only?

Well, at least I'm trying to. To export, I'm using: stsadm -o export -url http://oldserver/teamsites/sitename -filename D:\sitename -includeusersecurity -nofilecompression To import, I'm using stsadm -o import -url http://newserver/teamsites/sitename -filename D:\sitename -includeusersecurity -nofilecompression However, when trying to import, I'm getting this: "The file cannot be imported because its parent web /teamsites/sitename/teamsites/sitename does not exist." I deleted the site "/teamsites/sitename" and recreated it as "/teamsites/sn" and it then says "The file cannot be imported because its parent web /teamsites/sn/teamsites/sitename does not exist." When I originally tested my scripts a couple of weeks ago, it all worked fine, however it's now giving me the above error. The "/teamsites/" bit is a managed path, set as a wildcard inclusion (I tried it as an explicit inclusion as well without luck) Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to rip my hair out :| Nigel ---------------------------------------------------------------- Nigel Hertz Software Developer | Information Technology Stockland Level 25 | 133 Castlereagh Street | Sydney NSW 2000 T: 02 9035 2617 | F: 02 8988 2617 ________________________________ Stockland Notice: If this communication has been sent to you by mistake, please delete and notify us.
