If you get the "Type cannot be found" error after installing your WCF service, go to the section about unloading your project below. Here are the main steps to creating a WCF service and installing it on a SharePoint 2010 server: Open Visual Studio 2010 Create an Empty SharePoint 2010 project to get the packaging files Change your namespace in the Project Properties. Add a new Item, WCF Service with a new file name Add the following lines above the class declaration that implements the "IService" file: [BasicHttpBindingServiceMetadataExchangeEndpointAttribute] [AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)] public class PricingRequestService : IPricingRequestService { Add the following references to your project: C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions14ISAPIMicrosoft.SharePoint.dll C:WindowsassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime14.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429cMicrosoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime.dll Add a mapped folder to the "_Layouts" folder Inside the _Layouts folder create a text file with a .svc extension such as PricingRequestService.svc Add the following sample: <%@ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="PricingRequest.PricingRequestService, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" Factory="Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Services.MultipleBaseAddressBasicHttpBindingServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> Change [...]

Here's a handy powershell script to migrate all alert url's.  Problem: When you perform a content database migration to a new SharePoint farm with a different url, the alerts will not fire as the url's are stored from the previous farm. For example, migrating from "Intranet" to "IntranetQA" will not work as the old url's are stored. Here's the script: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/877d2abd-fce9-4545-b223-7637936dd888/
