An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SharedResourceProvider Name=SSP Parent=SPFarm Name=SharePoint_Config", could not be deleted because other objects depend on it. Update all of these dependants to point to null or different objects and retry this operation. The dependant objects are as follows:SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint - SharePoint80 Parent=SPWebService So said to myself what next.I have to fix it So after doing some research i came across this blog by Jagannadha and he has pretty much explainedwhats going but...But the wierd thing is that its also showing that the sharedservice is unprovisioned.So even if i try deleteing it from the stsadm as explained in the blog i keep getting the same error.But since its saying the object can't delete because of some dependencies.The i taught i have to visit the shrepoint config database which isn't recommended So looking at the Objects table in the Sharepoint_Config DB if i do a select statement where name like '%SharedServices%' i can see it the SSP sitting in there. So i tried deleting the record but also got the error relating to dependencies.After going through the columns i found a Status column and i can see the status for my sharedservices is reading 3 .So that must be the unprovisioning warning it was giving me.So i ran an update statement to update it to the default status which is 0.After refreshing the page the warning went awayAs soon as i did that went through decided to try the delete again from the Shared Services Admin and BINGO it went awayHope that helps and happy sharepointing
