When you delete a portal site that is extended on more than
one virtual server in your server farm, and then you unextend a virtual server
that hosts the portal site, you may you receive the following error message,
even though the virtual server is unextended successfully:
The virtual server referenced here is not in the config
database.

This issue may occur if both of the following conditions are
true:
| • | Your server farm deployment of Microsoft Office SharePoint
Portal Server 2003 has more than one Web front-end server, and the portal site
that you want to delete is extended on more than one virtual server. |
| • | You delete the portal site before you unextend all the
virtual servers that host the portal site on the Web front-end servers in your
server farm. |

The symptoms that are described in the "Symptoms" section of
this article do not affect the functionality of SharePoint Portal Server 2003. The virtual server is unextended
successfully, and you can safely ignore the error message that appears after
you unextend the virtual server. To verify that the virtual server is
unextended, follow these steps:
| 1. | Start SharePoint Portal Server Central
Administration. |
| 2. | On the SharePoint Portal Server Central
Administration page, in the Portal Site and Virtual Server
Configuration area, click Extend an existing virtual server
from the Virtual Server List page. |
| 3. | On the Virtual Server List page, in the
list of virtual servers, verify that Extend appears next to
the name of the virtual server that you unextended. |
To avoid this issue, unextend all the virtual servers that host
the portal site on the Web front-end servers in your server farm before you
delete the portal site.
