Content deployment job stuck in preparing phase. I double checked all settings I know, but no luck 1. Temp folder is on system drive and there is sufficent disk space on it 2. The target is a blank site collection created using stsadm command Not sure what is causing the issue. Any help is much appriciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply Emir. But I did set the export server in Content Deployment Settings. And my source and target are different site collections in the same farm and server. So my export and import servers are the same. I am also accepting the incoming content deployment job. About the hotfix, I have SharePoint 2007 version 12.0.0.6524 installed on my machine which is December 2009 CU. Do I still need to install this hotfix? Thanks

I see a series of these errors in the trace logs. PermissionMask check failed. asking for 0x00010000, have 0x00000000 PermissionMask check failed. asking for 0x00000005, have 0x00011001 PermissionMask check failed. asking for 0x00000015, have 0x00011001 PermissionMask check failed. asking for 0x00000041, have 0x00011001 Any idea on what permissions its failing? Thanks

Hi SriSow, This issue occurs most likely you haven’t set an export server in Content Deployment settings under Operations on the Central Administration Web Site. Please install the hotfix in this KB953750, and see how it works. Best regards, Emir
