Shared Services Provider stuck at (Unprovisioning)
I ran into this the other day.
Backstory:
I attempted to delete the Shared Services Provider (SSP)
Technorati Tags: Shared Services Provider Sharepoint 2007 MOSS MOSS 2007 Microsoft, but after letting it run for several hours, it never moved passed the “Unprovisioning” state on the Central Administration Website.
No Problem!
STSadm to to rescue…again:
when this happens, you have no choice but to get out the command line toolbox and force the Shared Services Provider to be removed.
the following command to do that is:
stsadm –o deletessp –title <SSP name> –force.
let it chew a little while, then reload the Central Admin page and the SSP should be gone.
