The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need to recreate Content Database for Central Admin in WSS 3.0

Asked by rockethobbit in MS SharePoint

The existing one got deleted from SQL server and there are no backups...

Content Database for Central Admin = Gone
Content Database For Site Data = Ok (The sharepoint site is up and running, I just can't manage it.)
Configuration Database for Farm = Ok

The admin console results in "The page cannot be found"

Ideas?

Using the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard will not help. Have disconnected from farm and rejoined, but it has to have the actual Central Admin DB available to display the console.

Tried this command with no luck:

psconfig -cmd configdb -create -server dBSERV -admincontentdatabase WSS_AdminContent -user DOMAIN\administrator -password xxxx
