I have access to one Central SharePoint Administration application which does not seem to list the web application for which I need Central SharePoint Administration access. What is the fastest way to determine the server for which Central SharePoint Administration for a particular sharepoint site is on?

Just to be sure - can you define "CSA"– Jesus ShelbyCommented Oct 10, 2014 at 17:14

I'm assuming he may mean Central SharePoint Administration? Taking a guess from his tags.– MikeCommented Oct 10, 2014 at 17:16

You mean, you are on Central Admin site of your farm and you cannot see the web application / site collection which you looking far, correct? how many farm you have? do you know the URL of the site /webapplication?– Waqas Sarwar MVP ♦Commented Oct 10, 2014 at 20:53

If the Central Administration does not have the site you are looking for there are a couple reasons why:
- The site you are looking for is in another farm (which will be a separate Central Administration site). Most clients/companies do not have more than one production farm.
- The site you are looking for is on a separate content database that is offline or is not mounted.
- The farm you are looking at is not the right farm for the site.
Do you have farm administration access?

If he can't see the site in Central Administration, then it's on another farm. Have you tried looking at the site collections for each web application?– MikeCommented Oct 10, 2014 at 19:06

I think most likely it was dismounted. Most clients these days only have one farm.– MikeCommented Jan 21, 2015 at 15:58
