    - Importing Contacts into Contact List Hi, I'm having problems being able to import contacts into a contact list. When I click "Import Contacts", an Outlook "Choose Profile" dialog box appears. I select my Outlook profile (the only one in the list), and the address book dialog box pops up. There ar no contact lists in here for me to import, it is completely blank (no Global Address List or Personal Contact lists). Does anyone know how I can fix this? I mainly want to be able to import contacts from the GAL. TIA Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 63066

    - Link To Outlook from Calendar pages SP Portal 2003....I have 3 admin users with Outlook 2003 installed who can see the Link to Outlook button on a calendar page. Other users (who have reader access) cannot see the link, using IE. HOWEVER, if they go to the same page using Mozilla, the link shows up fine. WTF? This tells me it is NOT a permission issue, but some screwy IE is not compliant in a completely arbitrary and evil Microsoft way.....I don't have time for this. Is there a SIMPLE answer? As much as I would love to chuck IE, it isn't a short term option..... Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 63062

Anonymous access is turned of both in IIS and WSS. All authenticated users are supposed to be granted Reader access, but they seem to have admin privilages.

    - Migrating Intranet to SPS We're considering using SPS to be our new intranet. We already have a fairly extensive intranet with a couple of integrated web-based business applications. What is the recommended or best practice for migrating those existing applications to SPS? Should we move the applications over to the SPS web-server and use Page Viewer Web Parts to re-use the existing code? I've been searching and reading high and low, but I haven't come across anything that suggests a best practice so any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 63014

    - Include and Exclude file types in Site Path Rules I am trying to configure the crawling of a fileshare such that it only crawls a specific type of filetype, and excludes all else. Let's say for example that the fileshare is called \\fileshare and I want to only index Word documents. I set up a site path rule like so: *.doc include When I review the gatherer log, it appears that it is trying to crawl all files types in the fileshare, not just Word documents. This behaviour seems to me that the purpose of the inclusion of specific file types is meant only for file types that are by default excluded. Any ideas on how I can accomplish what I am trying to accomplish? Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 63010

    - Administrator log in problem Hi, I have installed a new sharepoint 2003 server on a Windows 2003 Enterprse Edition Server . My problem is that I cannot open the portal after installing because I am not authorized to view the page! But I have all privileges and logged into the Windows 2003 server as the administrator. I am domain administrator too. I think there are possible conflicts between domains - one domain controller is running on other hardware (there are exchange, old sharepoint services and others) and on my Win2003EE Server is running second domain controller with SQL Server and SPPS. Finally when I try log on to portal (when I log on as administrator and have all privileges, of course) i have to write my name and password then! I use construction like this: COMPANY\Administrator (where 'COMPANY' is name of our main domain). When I click 'OK' Windows ignore my activities and show again log in form where user field is filled: 'localhost\Administrator'... I type my password but something is wrong because I can't log on. All my security permissions are checked. I am logging in correctly. Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong here? Janusz P Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 62996

    - Indexes, content sources, shared services, subdomains.. Hi, We've got a single server development environment setup like this (the top level web site is configured as Shared Services portal): portal.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com these 'child' portals are setup in there own SPS extended websites.: company1.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com company2.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com company3.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com company4.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com company5.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com Each company child site is configured to use search scope from portal.portal.myserver.mydomain.com. Each child company has both dedicated index and content sources for both Portal and Non_Portal content (total of 2 indexes, 2 content sources each). The portal content source points to e.g. http://company1.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com and the Non_Portal content source points to e.g. http://company1.mydevserver.mydevdomain.com configured as a site directory source. The Shared Services portal appears to crawl the child company's portals just fine, initially putting about 72 documents into the index for each company site. The problem starts when we do searches from any of the portals. No documents from the child companies' portals are found anywhere - in the parent portal or the child companies' portals. Crawler logs show no errors or anything that would appear extraordinary. No errors in the event logs or in the "c:\Progam Files\SharePoint Portal\Logs" directory. Any ideas where/how to find-out what my problem is? Thanks, Tony Bierman Tag: Can't Install WebParts Tag: 62965
