Hi All,

I think I am getting somewhere.....

I ran this command to attach my 2.0 contentDB to WSS 3.0:

STSADM -o addcontentdb -url http://MYSERVER -databaseserver
MYDATABASESERVER -databasename MYDATABASENAME

It took almost 15 minutes but completed successfully. I checked the
upgrade.log file and it only registered three errors, which isn't bad
considering the size of my database.

HOWEVER.....

When I go to Central Administration > Application Management > Content
Databases I am not seeing my database attached. If I try to attach it
here, I get an error saying to use the STSADM command!

So I am running in a circle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

--GREG--
