Save your hide by restoring a SharePoint farm configuration<\/h2>\n

I had the scare of the week last night. I was doing some pre-approved SharePoint farm cleanup. Part of that was removing some Farm Solutions (WSPs). The Retract of the solution partially failed, and hosed Central Admin (ouch).<\/p>\n

Last time I had this, the uninstall of UMT software left a dozen dangling references in all Web.Configs that I cleaned up by hand. Those caused workflows to all stop. This time, I was getting security and page rendering errors.<\/p>\n
