SharePoint 2010 deployment problem after added a new server to existing farm

deploymentsharepointsharepoint-2010visual studio 2010

I have SharePoint 2010 farm with one server. I'm developing some features in a sharepoint farm solution (not sandbox because there are some user rights problem). All feature scopes are set to "Site". I can deploy the solution to SharePoint with no problem. I added a new web front-end server to my existing farm. Then when I try deploy my solution, VS2010 shows this error:

Error occurred in deployment step
'Activate Features': Feature with Id
'xxx' is not installed in this farm,
and cannot be added to this scope

  • I login with AD administrator account to
    development server.
  • Administrator
    account is in site collection admins
    on the target web application.
  • The farm account is in local
    administrators group.

Is there a solution for this error?

Best Answer

  1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2010 -> Package -> Package.Template.xml
  2. Remove DeploymentServerType="ApplicationServer"
  3. Now try to deploy

It should work.
