Hi,When I try to add a content database using Central Administration, I get an error message saying Method not found: 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPContentDatabase Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPContentDatabaseCollection.Add(System.String, System.String, System.String, System.String, Int32, Int32, Int32, Boolean, Boolean)'. at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.NewContentDBPage.BtnSubmit_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) It works fime with STSADM command.

Your application pool account does not have the necessary rights to create the content database, so it fails. When you use STSADM, it uses the account that you are logged on with.Scot

Hi Mike,This will be taken care, next time.

Hi Scot,I have checked the application pool settings and permissions. It seems to be fine.With the same settings, I was able to createnew content databases through Central administration, 20 days back.But recently we had applied SP2 on our production server and it is only after this that we are getting the above error meaage.Thanks for your quick response.
