comment All columns getting added to Document content type in migrated site
I tried to replicate this problem with a new library created in MOSS 2007. Actually I don't see this behavior. Maybe user created columns get added to the Document content type, but not fields like Created By, Modified By and Checked Out To. In my case, even those fields are getting added to the Document content type. I can provide the list template based on the migrated library, and you will be able to replicate this problem.

comment All columns getting added to Document content type in migrated site
I may not have understood this problem as well as I should have, from your response. Before migration, there were about 15 columns in the library. Since 2003 lacked content types, I used an external tool to populate the appropriate columns, depending on whether the item was a document or email. In 2007, this translates to having two content types - Document and Email. So after migration, I wanted to enable content types and add the Email content type (Document is auto added). Problem is, I wanted to selectively link some columns to Document and some to Email.

In an attempt to try every possibility, I deleted the implicit Document content type (that's right, even if content type management was never enabled on a document library, there is a Document and Folder content type), enabled content type management and [had to] explicitly add the Document content type from the site content types. This seemed to resolve the problem, but I feel this is a hack more than a resolution. Thinking of opening a ticket with Microsoft.

comment How do you “stop” activating a feature within the feature receiver?
My console application adds a feature to a SPWeb with something like this web.Features.Add(featureGuid, true);. This works fine, but when an exception is thrown in that feature's FeatureActivated event receiver, my console application has no clue of the error. Is there any way I can catch and process the error?

So I can create this page in say, a dev/staging environment first? Does the page get saved in the content database and not the file system? In that case, how do I copy the file to package it in a feature based WSP?

comment Copy the whole production environment to staging
How does stsadm handle the difference in URL (e.g. production is portal.company.com and staging is stagedportal.company.com)?
