By using following code you can find out the feature id and display name. Then you try to uninstall it by STSADM command. SPFeatureDefinitionCollection featureDefinitions = SPFarm.Local.FeatureDefinitions; foreach (SPFeatureDefinition featureDefinition in featureDefinitions) { Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", featureDefinition.Id, featureDefinition.DisplayName); } Thanks & Regards, Neerubee

Are your site moved from other SharePoint farm? Do you have the same features installed on current farm as on the original farm? Please read http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jannemattila/archive/2007/08/27/failed-to-determine-definition-for-feature.aspx for similar issue.

Dear Gu Yuming, Recently I have migrated my SharePoint Server to new high performance Server Machine. FYI i am using MOS 2007 Version 12.0.6425.1000. Dear neerubee, Thanks for the code... I have installed only one feature (SharePoint Designer Custom Workflow activities) which is working fine. And rest of the features i am using are Out of the Box Functionality of SharePoint.

Hi All, My problem has been resolved. Following is the solution of the problem. 1. Run Faulty Feature Tool on SharePoint Server locally and enter the URL of the problematic Site. (You can download this tool from following Link http://www.moss2007.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2008/04/28/stsadm-o-export-fatalerror-failed-to-compare-two-elements-in-the-array.aspx ) 2. After running the tool you will get the list of Feature IDs on the SharePoint Site. When a valid feature is returned you will get the Feature Title and the Feature ID. When an invalid Feature ID is returned you will only get the Feature ID. 3. Remove the Faulty Feature ID from the tool by clicking "Remove Selected Features" 4. Use the Faulty Feature ID in the STSADM tool to force remove the feature. Here is the command STSADM -o deactivatefeature -id 11cda100-5a8c-4f39-a149-0fd3f86b5e98 -url http://portal -force 5. Now check your SharePoint Audit Logs after sometime. The error message will no longer be there in the logs. Thanks and Regards..
