Comments on: “Object already exists” when using ProvisionGlobally http://mysharepointofview.com/2009/08/object-already-exists-when-using-provisionglobally/ Thoughts, reflections and solutions from the field in SharePoint land Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:55:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Mattias Karlsson http://mysharepointofview.com/2009/08/object-already-exists-when-using-provisionglobally/comment-page-1/#comment-4550 Mattias Karlsson Wed, 16 Dec 2009 09:31:11 +0000 http://mysharepointofview.com/?p=498#comment-4550 Hi, I have actually ran in to the same thing. If you are using a singel server the script will do everything for you. The Provision thing is to provisioning out the settings to all your WFEs in the farm. I got this problem after Windows Management Framework Core was added to the server from "central IT" When I removed it, it started to work. So there is something with the upgrade of PowerShell or version of PowerShell that causes this problem. I'm actually having a MS case around this so all the info from you would be highly appriciated. What OS are you running, SharePoint version and number of servers in the farm. Thanks Mattias Hi,

At C:\Documents and Settings\dev-jread\My Documents\Extend_Webapp.ps1:68 char:32 + $ExtendWebApplication.Provision( <<<< )" Yet the script seems to work - website created etc Any ideas on what is going on?

“Exception calling “Provision” with “0″ argument(s): “Root element is missing.”
At C:\Documents and Settings\dev-jread\My Documents\Extend_Webapp.ps1:68 char:32
+ $ExtendWebApplication.Provision( <<<< )"

Yet the script seems to work – website created etc

Any ideas on what is going on?
