Missing server side dependencies



We have done the migration from SharePoint Server 2007 to SharePoint 2010. After the successful migration, when we checked the HEALTH ANALYZER reports then we have seen the following errors:

Exception#1:
[MissingFeature] Database [WSS_Content_101] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Id = [fc5e2840-0b48-42eb-9ad7-076f5add58ad]. The feature with Id fc5e2840-0b48-42eb-9ad7-076f5add58ad is referenced in the database [WSS_Content], but is not installed on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.

Exception#2:
[MissingWebPart] WebPart class [8d6034c4-a416-e535-281a-6b714894e1aa] is referenced [20] times in the database [SharePoint_AdminContent_8c793f3b-123c-4965-81b3-b7bbed64d8ae], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this web part. One or more web parts are referenced in the database [SharePoint_AdminContent_8c793f3b-123c-4965-81b3-b7bbed64d8ae], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these web parts.

Exception#3:
[MissingSetupFile] File [themes\THEME\alldaydefault_granite.gif] is referenced [4] times in the database [WSS_Content], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this file. One or more setup files are referenced in the database [WSS_Content], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these files.

Exception#4:
Assembly [Nintex.Workflow.Features, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12] is referenced in the database [WSS_Content], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this assembly. Remedy: One or more assemblies are referenced in the database [WSS_Content], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these assemblies.

Long series of messages, it’s very difficult to troubleshoot this all messages/exceptions in a single shot so I have targeted one exception: [Missing Feature]

As per the error message, we have the following details as follows:

Name of the database: WSS_Content_101
Feature ID: fc5e2840-0b48-42eb-9ad7-076f5add58ad
Site Collection Link: No Info
Site collection ID: No Info

Hmm...Really difficult to delete this feature if we don’t have a site collection links.

I think if we have a site ID/Link then it’s very simple to delete this feature but the problem is there are so many features which are throwing exceptions against the same database name so there might be so many site collections.
