You can use stsadm preupgradecheck which will list you all orphan sites in your farm. I'm not sure about OM code.Thanks & Regards, Soumyadev | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I have a list of around 15k site collection url in a SQL table, i wanted to check if any of these url is a orphan site or not using object model. is there a way? or what is the best way to check if a site is orphan or not without quering the Config and content database?aju
