Time to re-read my article about migration vs upgrade. This is a classic case 
of a scenario where you should migrate - create a new environment, and use 
migration tools (hello AvePoint) to move the content, leaving custom solutions 
behind.

Subject: MOSS to SP2010 Upgrade issue due to missing features

Hi all,

I have a significant public website I am trying to migrate. While I have 
managed to get the site functional I have a big clean-up job to perform.

We do not have the 2010 solutions these features and fields belong to and have 
been unsuccessful in removing them via the UI or PowerShell.

Is there anyway to force delete:

  *   Features where the definition is missing/unknown?
  *   Content Types (and other objects) which are part of a missing feature?
A typical PS error when attempting to delete a content type is:

Exception calling "Delete" with "1" argument(s):
"The content type "$Resources:NWResource,_ContentType_MultiOutcomeTask_Name;" 
is part of an application feature."

Or is the safer path to deactivate all (non-upgradeable) features in the source 
site before taking a DB backup? My main issue here is that it would render the 
source site unusable.

Any advice appreciated.

Regards,

Paul
