The Feature Admin Tool finds faulty FeatureDefinitions and cleanly uninstalls them.
It finds feature remainders in sites, SiteCollections, WebApps and in the Farm, caused e.g. by forcefully uninstalled Features from a farm without deactivating them before. These faulty features, never visible, cause errors.
The Feature Admin Tool is able to identify them and remove them.
Very useful for migrations e.g. from 2007 to 2010 or from Enterprise to Standard.
Also, uninstall, (bulk) deactivate or (bulk) activate features with any scope farm wide.
Ideal, for activating or deactivating features in large farms with many sites and/or SiteCollections.
Features' of the FeatureAdmin Tool
* List features and feature definitions
* Search for faulty features in the farm and remove them cleanly if wanted
* Uninstall feature Definitions from the farm, even if faulty
* When uninstalling a feature, FeatureAdmin provides an option to deactivate this feature in the entire farm before uninstalling it
* Can also simply activate or deactivate features with any scope in the whole farm, in only a Web
Application, only within a SiteCollection or in a Site (SPWeb)
* Web Apps are parsed automatically, after selecting one, all Site Collections in the Web App are shown
* When selecting a SiteCollection, all sites (webs) are listed automatically.
* Logging information is shown (e.g. change of selections, features added or removed)
* Features and Feature Definitions are sorted (first after scope and then) after name
* The FeatureAdmin window and all internal windows are resizeable (starting with version 2.1)
You need to have appropriate right
dbOwner rights to the SharePoint Configuration database and to every content database, you would like to cleanup, activate or deactivate features on.
You should add your login account to the Web Application User Policy with Full Control for each of the content web apps in the farm and it should be a member of the farm administrators group.
Additionally, this tool needs to run locally on a SharePoint Instance.
If you use the "find faulty feature" functionality, it will parse through the whole farm.
