Deploying CustomField changes for standard objects using Force.com IDE

Has anyone had any success in deploying CustomField changes to the User or Task standard objects using the Force.com IDE?

For the User object, I'm getting the following error message:
  unable to obtain exclusive access to this record

For the Task object, I'm getting the following error messages:
  Field 'Subject' in 'Task' is not a picklist field
  Entity Enumeration Or ID: bad value for restricted picklist field: Task

I have been able to deploy changes on the Account and Opportunity, but have been unsuccessful in deploying to User and Task objects.

Thanks

  Scott -

  There is an issue with Task record type deployment (which is what you are seeing); this issue will be fixed in a few days.  Note that the custom fields for Tasks will be on the Activity object, though.
  Regarding the User object, can you please contact me offline so I can gather more information about the problem (if you could send me the User.object file, that would be helpful).

  Thanks,

I'd like to resurrect this thread to see if the original poster's problem was ever solved.  I am getting the exact same error when trying to deploy custom fields for the Opportunity object.  Custom fields for Account, OpportunityLineItem, Product2 and User pass the Eclipse deployment validation but not Opportunity.

Never mind.  There was a target picklist field that had the same name as a source text field.  Deleting the target field allowed the Opportunity object to deploy.

Yes, both of these issues were resolved.  I guess Bill and I talked about it offline and I forgot to update the discussion thread.

Can you tell me what was the Solution for this issue. I'm facing same issue with my CONTACT Standard object. I'm able to deploy all other standard object's custom fields but not the Contact Object.

  VChaddha -

  Sounds like a different issue as the original issue was specific to Task/Event.  I've sent you a private message; please contact me offline & we'll troubleshoot.

  Thanks,

I have a form on my website that uses the API to submit a lead to salesforce.com. I have some lead triggers (before insert, after insert) that act on that lead and convert it to a contact.

I have found that when validating a deployment of code from sandbox to production, or actually deploying, I can generate an Apex error by trying to submit to that form.

The error I get is:

ONEN_LeadToCampaign: execution of AfterInsert

caused by: System.DmlException: ConvertLead failed. First exception on row 0; first error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION, unable to obtain exclusive access to this record

Trigger.ONEN_LeadToCampaign: line 192, column 52


All tests are passing and the code deploys fine and runs fine in production once there, but salesforce.com doesn't allow lead inserts during validation or deployment.

Is this expected behavior for an API integration to fail during validation of deployment or an actual deployment?

Thanks,
Steve
