Unable to restore list libraries from SharePoint 2010 recyclebin

Issue: We recognized a strange issue where SharePoint 2010 recycle bin doesn't allow to restore list and libraries. Different admins were getting different error message in ULS logs.
Resolution: We just increased the list throttling at web app level and it resolved my issue. Hope it would help you as well

"License Expired" error in search result of SharePoint 2007

In SharePoint 2007 we may get the error as "License Expired" in search result. There could be number of different errors, but the common one are as below:

1) We may get this type of error if we didn't run the PS configuration wizard after the installation of language pack.
2) Some time after installing SP2 in SharePoint 2007, but SP3 installation will remove this issue/error.
3) Upgrade from SharePoint 2007 Standard to Enterprise.
4) If we are using the Express version of Search and not using the SQL install that is included in the install.  Use another SQL instance it thinks that we are using multiple servers and that is not allowed for the Express version. Use of SQL 2005 Standard seems to be the culprit and installing in Advanced mode, must use Basic.
