Metabase Replication Can't Change Web Site Name on Endpoint

ID: Q181157

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you perform a metabase replication in Content Deployment, Content Deployment cannot change the Web site name on the endpoint computer.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Site Server version 2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


MORE INFORMATION

Run the following queries: 


 - crs addproj MyProject MyWebSite MySource /server MyDestination
/metabase
 - crs addproj MyProject MyNewWebSite /server MyDestination /metabase
 - crs startrep MyProject /display
where: 

 MyProject = the project name
 MyWebSite = the Web site name on the source machine
 MyNewWebSite = the Web site name on the endpoint
 MySource = the source machine name
 MyDestination = the endpoint machine name
You will see that replication completes on the source and destination, but the Web site created on the destination is the same name as the source machine, instead of the new name specified by the projecT's LocalDirectory property. After replication, "MyNewWebSite" does not exist; instead, "MyWebSite" is created.
