  • 1.  The specified GUID does not refer to a item - how to find it?

    Posted Jan 18, 2013 10:20 AM

    Ok i found a few other topics here but all that was said was to go to your old server and find what that guid was..

     

    well the question I have is.. how do I know what that item was to go look for?
    I created everything in our DEV NS 7.1 and then exported all filters, reports, software and policies. Brought them all into our Prod env.. now im trying to cleanup the errors in the logs... 

     

    is there sql code that one could use to track this down?

    This one is the biggie.. but if I could figure out how to track down what the item is I will go and use that to fix others....
     
    I did have my automation policies.. when you click them 2 errors would show up in the logs.. so I was able to track down what units it was and fix them...
     
    this is the only thing I could find for NS 6

    Does the 'Name' or 'Description' field offer anything?

    If you transfered it from dev, the guid should be in one of your exported files. Try to search them to see what item its connected to. You can also try the connected product guid in the resource view.

    See if you find any references to it in the ItemReference table for any qlues related to the other guids.

    It looks like that guid corresponds with the security owner of the item. You can right click on the item and choose security, That will bring up the security role manager for that item. Switch the role you are looking at to Symantec Administrators. Once the item loads. You will see an advanced button in the bottom right hand corner of the page. Click on it. In that pane you have the option to take ownership of the item. That should correct the error.
