Tfs 2010 Attach collection error KB2278944CollectionInstall.sql Invalid column name 'System.AreaID'

Question

we had a Tfs 2010 SP1 Team Project Collection, we were trying to detach it and take a back up of the db and reattach it. Detach went fine. while attaching we got this error .

[Error] KB2278944CollectionInstall.sql Line 1587 Error: Invalid column name 'System.AreaID'. Invalid column name 'System.IterationID'. Invalid column name 'ID'. Invalid column name 'ID'. Invalid column name 'ID'. Stamping DB...

On deep Dive analysis into the Logs, we saw this error at the end of the TFS Log

The final solution which works is

Get into the TFS App Tier server, open command prompt Navigate to the Tools folder.

`E:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Tools>'

run the following command and you will get output as below

TfsConfig repair

Logging sent to file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Server Configuration\Logs\CFG_SVC_UNK_ 1208_103237.log Command: repair TfsConfig - Team Foundation Server Configuration Tool Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Acquiring the servicing lock. Servicing lock acquired. Stopping application... Application stopped successfully. Starting application... Application started successfully.

Now get into the Team admin console, Check the Tab named Status

there will be another item above it saying

Servicing collection Queued.

After couple of minutes, It should say

Servicing collection Succeeded

then you can Bring the collection online. :)
