· Sharepoint 2007 Standard medium farm with SQL 2005 I have created a new SSP on a new web application. Then I made the new SSP to be the default one. Then, I deleted the other ssp2 from Central Administration > Application Management > Manage this Farm's Shared Services. However, I have an another site under this new SSP site. its name is siteadmin and has two site collection similar to the default ssp: /sites/Home and /ssp/admin which neither of them are accessable. Is this another ssp? I can't delete it from the Central Administration > Application Management > Manage this Farm's Shared Services. How can I check if there is any info that I need to transfer to the new ssp prior deleting it? ( There is no personal site in my farm) I see i can go and delete the site collections , then its application, and database. is this the correct way to delete it? what do I need to do for the new default ssp to be sure it is fully up to date? runing a full crawl? any help is greatly appreciated,Sara

Hi Sara, Thanks to share your problem. Here is a useful link which would properly help you to create a new SSP: http://www.ucertify.com/article/how-to-create-a-new-ssp.html. This is the operation on the editing page, and you may have try stsadm –o addssp –title <your name>. To clean up the old SSP, you may try to use the stsadm –o deletessp –title <your name>. If there is still any issue, please feel free to post in the forum. Best Regards! Leo

I was on the third ssp. The other two ssp generated too much log files, many error. I deleted them from the sharepoint, IIS and SQL. The sharpeoint performance is very bad. What is the proper way to replace a ssp if something goes wrong with it?Sara
