If you build a re-usable workflow and click the "Associate to List" feature without first publishing it you will get an ASP.NET error on the addwrkfl.aspx page. The error is an Object Not Found NullReference error. You would think that you would get a nice SharePoint error dialog box, but not in this case. This could be a confusion point for your users.

That's quite the error right? In just about every farm I have setup so far, I am getting this error: "The sandboxed code execution request was refused because the Sandboxed Code host Service was too busy to handle the request"
I haven't quite figured out exactly what the problem is, the ULS logs don't help much, they simply give a IPC error. I have double checked everything. Not sure what happened in RTM that changed from BETA.
I have seen the ACL fix, but that's for a domain controller. Even applying the fix, it still won't go 🙁

What the heck is this? I don't know, but supposidly you are suppose to install this hotfix to resolve it. I tried and it wouldn't install on my server OS (Windows Server 2008). Bummer. Now I am stuck with this health analyzer rule saying my farm is in error…YUK!
If the team releases a REAL hotfix, I'll update here.

In walking through our course labs one more time, I found that when backing up the Farm in "Full" mode, if you cannot resolve the various service applications through the web service WCF services, the entire backup will pause on "In Progress" indefinitely.
I found that when uninstalling Office Web Apps, you will be left with an instable farm. One side effect is that your services will start failing and will be set to "Stopped". I noticed that several of my Windows Services are not starting autmatically for some weird reason (no, its not a password and yeah, I can see the DC). Even after setting them back up property and starting the services, the backup would never fully continue. I have yet to find a resolution!!!

So I was upgrading my development environment to SharePoint Foundation 2010. Unfortunately I ran into a stopping point. The pre-req installer would go into a loop! It would make it to the part of configuring the IIS Application Role and then fail. The failure would say that a reboot is required. When the server rebooted, it would start again, and as you can guess, repeat in failure and require a restart! Yuk!
In the Event Log->Setup, you will see where the install successfully made it too. You'll see that various roles are being installed and setup. You just need to manually add those roles and features. In my case, it was getting stuck on:
I simply fired up the Server Manager and manually installed each until I got to the root of the problem. I figured that possible I needed to add the server to a domain but that didn't help. After 3x, the server manager will give up. The problem was that the .NET TCP feature wasn't happy. Why, have no clue. I had to remove IIS and .NET 3.0 and then run the pre-req installer. After that, it all went smooth!

In your migrated pages, you should see them all work correctly. However, the moment you go to do something in the new Page Layouts of SharePoint 2010, you will quickly find that it doesn't work. The new register directive sets the tag prefix as SharePointWebControls, NOT as SharePoint.
In 2007:
<SharePoint:FieldValue FieldName="CompanyUrl" runat="server" />
In 2010:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue FieldName="CompanyUrl" runat="server" />
Again, this is all driven from the register directive at the top of the page.

Similar to the TaxonomyPicker.ascx, just rename this to SearchArea.ascx_old. Notice that the code points to the old SharePoint 12.0 dlls and wont be used in your new 2010 farm.

You may get one of these errors in your Health Analyzer logs. I am getting it on a database called WSS_Search_SVR-WEB1. What happened was that I had two server in my farm, one of which I decommisioned to move to 64bit before moving to 2010.
The older SVR-WEB1 had the WSS Search database tied too it. But somehow when I decommisioned it, the entry in the objects heirarchy table remained (it became orphaned and the 2010 upgrade checker didn't say jack about them) and now I'm stuck with this weird database that is really OLD and SharePoint 2010 does NOT like. How do I remove it?
As always, I left with resorting to the objects table and doing a 'name like' and 'properties like' query to find anything that was related to the old server. Once I find those things i run the STSADM -o deleteconfigurationobject -id "<object id>" command to remove them.
After removing the orphaned objects, I re-run the Health Analyzer job and the error goes away! Whoot!

Todd has an awesome post about this error here.
Amazing that a simple , would even make it into the build like that and that the class would be omitted completely…
