Hi, Trying to split our SP 2007 content DB's to smaller chunks and get the "Database Not Found error" I double checked the DB srver and the database exists as I created it and have full control over it. I ran te stsadm "enumcontentdbs"to check the dbs and it exists but still get the error. C:\>stsadm -o enumcontentdbs -url http://qm-unite.grouphc.net <Databases Count="1"> <ContentDatabase Server="GRPSDHEID0003" Name="WSS_Content_Unite_QM" /> </Databases> C:\>stsadm -o mergecontentdbs -url http://qm-unite.grouphc.net -sourcedatabasena me WSS_Content_Unite_QM -destinationdatabasename WSS_Content_Team_QM -operation 1 Database not found. C:\> Any Suggestions? Regards SS sabu
