    - Using WSS application templates in Portal Server??? MS has many Windows SharePoint Services Applications Templates (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sppt/wssapps/default.mspx) available. It doesn not appear that you can use these templates to create Portal Server areas, however. If that is the case, how DO you use them in a Portal Server environment? I can't find anything that explains this. Thanks in advance. -- Mike Sebring Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68880

    - DepSPSx:"SPS cannot bound to discrete IP addresses" ?! Reading the "DEPSPSXnet.doc", I see the text below stating that when creating a new website to house Sharepoint content, I should pick a port other than 80, since "Sharepoint Portal cannot use virtual servers that are bound to discrete IP addresses". As is now, I am able to create a an "Extranet Site Anonymous" and I assigned a specific IP address 1.1.1.1 to such site. The Default Web Site is assigned to IP address 1.1.1.2 So far it is working. In ISA 2004 I published the IP 1.1.1.1 and that makes sense to me. I am wondering if by "cannot use discrete IP addresses" it means that the configuration I did above is not supported ? Please clarify. Thanks ! Both sites "7. In the TCP port this Web site should use (Default 80) box, type a new TCP port number. This port number must be unique and cannot be used by any other Web site in IIS. Because the Default Web Site in IIS already uses TCP port 80, you must specify a value other than 80, for example, 8080. This step is required because SharePoint Portal Server cannot use virtual servers that are bound to discrete IP addresses. For more information, see â??Appendix A: Known Issues.â??

    - Newbie: Why this virtual server is not selected ? I am trying to pick "Default Web Site" as the virtual server, so from there I can map to the new "Anonymous" site I just created. I do: Windows Sharepoint Services Virtual Server List To perform administration tasks for a virtual server, click the virtual server name. To view all virtual servers for this server computer, go to the complete list. Name URL Version TestSite http://testsite/ Not Installed Extend "TESTSITE" is not what I want. I CLICK ON "COMPLETE LIST". THEN I CAN SEE "DEFAULT WEB SITE" AND "ANONYMOUS" SITES - OK. THEN IT SAYS: "To perform administration tasks for a virtual server, click the virtual server name " I CLICK ON THE "DEFAULT WEB SITE". FROM THERE I DON"T sEE A WAY FOR ME TO GO AND "MAP" AND "EXTEND" SUCH "DEFAULT WEB SITE". IF I CLICK "WINDOWS SHAREPOINT SERVICES" ON THE LEFT MENU, I GO BACK TO THE "VIRTUAL SERVER LIST", BUT IT LISTS AGAIN THE WEBSITE ThAT I DON"T WANT. WHAT AM MISSING HERE ?

    - Newbie:Struggling to set an "anonymous" site. Please help I already read the documentation on publishing Sharepoint using two virtual servers. The documentation didn't address "anonymous" publishing though. This is what I am doing: On "Default Website" I can browse all the content from my corporate network. It is set to "Windows Integrated Authentication". Home directory is "d:\inetpub\wwwroot". Then I created a new "MySiteAnonymous", set to "anonymous" authentication. I copied all content from "d:\inetpub\wwwroot" and I placed onto d:\inetpub\anonymous" and pointed the respective "MySiteAnonymous" Home Directory to this folder. Now if I go to the local Sharepoint server and I right click the respective "MySiteAnonymous" and do browse, I get just a Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 page... it is not my customized page that I get when browsing the content of "Default Web Site". Can someone explain why this behavior of getting only a limited page, not my company page that I see when browsing the Default Web Site ? Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68863

    - All Files Read Only in All Document Libraries I had a few users complain that their files are all set to Read Only. I checked into it further and it seems that every file in every document library is now Read Only. If I create a new document, and upload that to the server and then try and edit it, it is Read Only. I cannot replace a file when I save it or I get the "This file is Read Only" message. I can save it as a different name, and then try to edit that new file and now that file is Read Only as well. I have searched around and haven't found any solutions but a few people with similar problems and no answers. A point in the right direction or any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

My concern is about the portal Home Page. In this case, I cannot make a copy of the SPS folder, modify it, and then apply the modified definition (trough the Home Area Settings) to it, isn't it ?

    - Publish Sharepoint (ISA 2004) from 1 server housing two sites Imagine "myserver" has two Sharepoint sites: Site1 (set to Anonymous authentication only) Site 2(content set to Windows Integrated) I configure ISA 2004 publishing rules to point to the respective server housing the websites Site1 and Site2. Then when I hit "http://mysharepointsite.mycompany.com" from the Internet, I get prompted for Windows authentication. That is happening because Site2 is probably the one being published, not Site1 as I would like. How can I solve this ? I think I could assign a specific IP address to "site1" and point ISA to that specific IP. Not sure if there are better ways to solve this though. PS:Also posted at the ISA group.

    - Not able to add Cross-Site Groups to site HELP! I have an issue on my WSS/SPS server. Most recent version, patched to latest version etc. Well, user is trying to add a cross site group to a site, but it is timing out. Basically SharePoint is not allowing cross site groups to be added to ANY site, I had her try a different one. When she tries to add an individual user there is no problem, but this Cross Site group will not be inserted into the group. I've rebooted, looked into a few things but can not determine why the system will not allow Cross Site Groups to be added to sites. I've tried reader, contributor etc with no luck.

    - SharePoint & Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Integration Hi - I'm just wondering if anyone has experience, tools or ideas related to using SharePoint Portal Server 2003 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 We're basically trying to have Adobe crawl thru a SharePoint document library and consolidate all documents (typically Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files) into a single PDF. We've gotten over the initial security issues (i.e. using anonymous access vs. having problems where Adobe could not access an authenticated site), but now we appear to be hitting some limitations. >From what we can tell, the Adobe Acrobat tool is having issues following SharePoint links that contain JavaScript (e.g. javascript:SubmitFormPost) to go down to a sub-directory. We're also having problems getting Adobe to walk a basic Windows directory structure to grab all documents under a given set of directories in a tree. We're trying to use that as a fall-back if we have to use a Windows Network Place to get at the document library. It appears that Adobe only lets you select all files within a single folder, but not a folder by itself. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

    - How to install SQL Server Report Pack for SPS? I want to install the report pack for SPS, but I am a little unsure about the install process. I have a single SPS box (web, index, search) and a single SQL box. Exactly what do I need to install for the report pack to work... and on which server? The system requirements state that you need the following, but they do not clarify on which server(s). Server OS SPS 2003 SQL Server with dbSPSReportStaging and dbSPSReporting installed SQL Reporting Services Visual Studio .NET LogParser Does all of this need to be installed prior to the packs and on which server(s)? When I attempted to install the packs on my SQL server which already has SQL Report Server installed, during the install it says that to "Deploy Report Solution" it needs Visual Studio and to "Install Data Extraction Program" it needs SPS. Does this mean that I should be installing the packs on my SPS box? If so, that would mean that I would also need to install SQL Server and the reporting services on it also. These instructions seem a bit "fuzzy" to me at best. Can anyone give me the proper install order and on which server, etc? Thanks for any help!

    - Text size setting in IE changing to smallest on WSS sites Hi, Recently our IE text size settings were changing to smallest on our WSS sites. This was only happening on one machine, and only using one login (when I logged in using my info, it operated normally.) We can't recreate the problem, it just shows up every once in a while. It appears to only affect the text within the web parts and when we change the text setting in IE back to medium, the text size is normal again, until you click to go to another page, then for a split second before the page changes, you can see the text revert back to the smallest setting.

    - Restore issues Hello, I'm kind of new to SharePoint Portal Server 2001 and was handed an issue that I have some questions about. I was asked to restore some documents to the server so I did a complete restore to the development server thinking we could just grab the documents needed and repost them up to the production server. Now that I have the development server ready I am now informed that someone accidentally deleted a whole folder with just over 2400 documents in it and not just a "few" documents. Do I need to do a complete restore of the site on the production server or can I copy the documents from the test server which has the data needed over? If I can copy the documents then will the file attributes copy over like Author. The other part is what about the catalogs that go with the documents? Can those be transfered as well somehow. Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas on this? I'm just leary of doing a complete restore on the production server. They had a lot of customizations done to it and if you ask me it's not the most stable system. Thanks Keith Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68798

    - Emailing Surveys? Is it possible to send surveys out via email (in this case, Lotus Notes) and have the survey responses populate a list on the Sharepoint site? What we're trying to do: We have a service request systems and we want to do satisfaction surveys. We'd like to email them the survey, which is pre-populated with the request number and description, and a series of five or six questions related to quality. Once the customer completes the survey, they hit a submit button and it sends that info into the survey list on the sharepoint site. There would be open fields (not included in the email to the customer) that would be proprietary to my dept. to allow us to respond to negative responses and input the results of any discussion. Even if it's just a URL link to the survey, the key is the pre-population of the request number and description, so 1) the customer knows what they're being asked about, and 2) the support team knows what request is being responded to by the client. Hope I'm making sense, here. :-) MH Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68796

    - WWS Teamsite or SPS Areas Hello Sorry to ask this, but I'm slightly confused. I had a first look for some days at a System with WSS. Now I've gotten a SPS-System which provides me with portal areas. If you prepare Sharepoint Parts for different customers (who shall not know of each other) on a SPS do you in all cases use portal areas and adapt those or would WSS-Teamsites possibly be a better way (or a combination of both)? Thank you for your help. Mike Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68712

    - Very Basic Question Hi Can we handle "views" and apply "filters" programatically? Thanks Roger -- Tag: Adding a File type to the system Tag: 68711

I need to add another file type to the sharepoint system. I want to be
able to have the system display a vaild icon for new files types. The
first one that I need is for .sql files.
Can someone point me in the right direction so that I can add more
icons for the file types.

Look at this document and pretend that you are doing it for a .sql file.
Just ignore the pieces about the ifilter. You can copy the icon file in
place, make the change in the xml file, and update the search setting to
include the file type.

Let me know if you need more information.
