Hi I have been trying to upgrade my Moss 2007 Content DB with no luck. I first test the content db with the powershell cmdlet Test-SPContentDataBase and I get the following error Category : MissingWebPart Error : True UpgradeBlocking : False Message : WebPart class [1289ecb0-3c27-8b8b-1059-d2cf4d1a3993] is refer enced [2] times in the database [WSS_Content], but is not ins talled on the current farm. Please install any feature/soluti on which contains this web part. Remedy : One or more web parts are referenced in the database [WSS_Con tent], but are not installed on the current farm. Please inst all any feature or solution which contains these web parts. In the past we have downloaded the 40 Custom Templates from Microsoft, but none are in use. is there a tool or command that can help me identify the missing webpart, or just any advice on how to resolve this.Neil Palmer

Warning: this is a query directly on your WSS_Content database. Microsoft doesn't support this type of operations. Try run this query on your WSS_Content, see if you could find out more detail on the Web Part. SELECT WPT.tp_ID WebPartId ,tp_DisplayName WebPartName ,tp_CreationTime ,LST.tp_Title ListName FROM dbo.WebParts WPT INNER JOIN dbo.Lists LST ON LST.tp_Id=WPT.tp_ListId WHERE WPT.tp_ID = '1289ecb0-3c27-8b8b-1059-d2cf4d1a3993' -Bin

Thanks -bin I ran the query and no rows were returned, I am at loss as to what this could be. I have downloaded WssAnalyzefeatures from codeplex ran it on my existin Moss 2007 farm and zero errors. the reason why I am attempting to use addcontendb upgrade is that My Moss 2007 is 32 bit so an in place upgrade was not feasable. if you have ny other suggestions or ideas it would much appreciated Thanks againNeil Palmer
