What an ordeal. After numerous\u00a0errors and features that were not installed on the new server I finally\u00a0get to a point where I believe I can import a site (our intranet) to the development server I have set up.<\/p>\n
But , you noticed i said believe .. Another error. This one stating “Error: Cannot import site. The exported site is based on the template SPS#0 but the destination site is based on the template STS#1. You can import sites only into sites that are based on same template as the exported site.”<\/p>\n
Well Crap, I vaguely\u00a0remember running into this in the past and couldn’t for the life of me remember how I fixed it (I had slept since then).<\/p>\n
I knew that I didn’t\u00a0pick the right Site Template (in this case I picked Blank Site) and a quick search confirmed that STS#1 was a Team Site, and SPS#0 was a Sharepoint Server Portal Site but I couldn’t\u00a0find “Sharepoint Server Portal Site” in my list of Templates to install. Well that is because the Template is obsolete… Great … thank you MS. But don’t fret, although it is obsolete you can still install it, just not with the GUI.<\/p>\n
To create a site with Template SPS#0 Do this…<\/p>\n
Create a Powershell Script with the following code and run it:<\/p>\n
[Code]<\/p>\n
Get-SPWebTemplate
\n$template = Get-SPWebTemplate “SPS#0”
\nNew-SPSite\u00a0-Url\u00a0“YourSiteUrl” -OwnerAlias “Domain\\UserNameAccount” -Template $template<\/p>\n
[\\Code]<\/p>\n
There you go.<\/p>\n
