SPSV2 Technical Refresh and McAfee PortalShield
Has anyone installed the PortalShield beta on the SPS V2 Technical
Refresh? The release notes from McAfee states "This release has not
been tested against the recently announced Microsoft SharePoint Portal
Server v2.0 beta 2 refresh and Microsoft Windows Team Services v2.0
beta 2 refresh releases." Well then where am I supposed to install
it? Previously we weren't supposed to install SPS V2 on the RTM
version of Windows Server 2003, and now that we can install the
Technical Refresh on the RTM version of Windows Server 2003, the
PortalShield hasn't been tested against the Technical Refresh. So as
far as the documentation for these products states, there has yet to
exist a combination of these products that I can install and test
together. Am I missing something? Tag: Collaboration data objects Tag: 20809
SharePoint Portal Search service
After updating SPS V2 to SPS V2 technical refresh I have
two diffrent services "Microsoft SharePointPS Search"
and "SharePoint Portal Search" that have the same
executable path "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal
Server\Bin\mssearch.exe". It is possible to start
the "Microsoft SharePointPS Search" service, but not
the "SharePoint Portal Search" service, which hangs with
the error message "The SharePoint Portal Search service
terminated with service-specific error 2147500053
(0x80004015)" .I'm not trying to start both of them on the
same time.
Does anybody knows why I have both of these services?

Folder Cannot Be Not Found in SPS v.1
Hello All,
I came into work this morning to find that one of the coordinators
over a document library folder had tried to delete some folders and
change some permissions (no real details here). Now in that folder's
subdirectory are two folders that appear to be there, but when I
double click on them to open them, I get an error that states "The
folder cannot be found on the server." The contents of the folder are
empty. When I right-click on the folder and go to properties, I get
"Unable to display properties." Any ideas on how to clear this up?
Thanks

Document Management in V2
Hello guys,
I've just started to experiment with SPS v2. Everything looks cool but I am
confused regarding the document mangement features in V2. Can anyone pls
help me clarify somethings:
1. What happens to the document management capabilities (similar to the SPS
v1)? I cant seam to be able to assign approval, to approve or reject
documents.
2. Is there a way for me to create a document library on the SPS v2 main
site? Similar to the Document Library in SPS v1.
3. How do I assign rights to Authors and Approver? What is the equivalent
role in SPS v2 ?
4. In My Site, I have configured a document library. How can I utilize the
Check-In and Check-Out option from the drop down arrow? I can overwrite a
document without performing a check-out. Is this expected? What is the usage
of check-in/check-out then?
Pls help. Any advice or pointers are much appreciated.

Issue with Frontpage 2002 and Sharepoint
I have the following installed on my PC and they were
installed in the following order:
- XP Pro
- IIS
- Frontpage 2002
- Sharepoint
I got a couple of Frontpage themes from Microsoft's web
site and before my motherboard died, I had one working
perfectly. I was using fr-hospital and after I installed
it and created a new web using that web site template, I
could preview it internally or in a browser and it always
looked and worked fine.
After getting a new motherboard and hard drive, I
reinstall the above apps. For some reason now though, I'm
not able to see the Sharepoint navigation menu; the one
that says Home | Documents, etc., when I preview the site
internally or externally. Internally, I see a message
saying "This page contains elements that may need to be
saved or published to preview correctly"
Any and all help is appreciated!
Please try to contact me through my email.

PLEASE please I need some help - critical SP questions before I pass out :-)
Hi all
I am a regular marketing guy trying to set up Sharepoint 2001 version
for our Asia Pacific offices to share publishing assets / images etc.
I have just discovered at this late stage on work, that Sharepoint
2001 has the following problems.
If ANYONE can help me to try and find quick / easy solutions (ie
plug-in?) for these I would sooo appreciative.
1) Thumbnails are not inherent to a file listing in Documents area. I
really need thumbnails - I know of imagething.net (how much is this?)
and Equilibrium (4k), plus I know SP 2003 version supports - but does
anyone have a cheap and easy way to display tif, bmp, jpg etc by
somehow 'modding' the 2001 code???
2) Maximum file size upload is 50 meg. This absolutely killed me when
I found out - how can Microsoft allow this to happen!!! I know the new
version you can set the file size limit, but that's no good to me
using 2001. Does anyone have any solutions to over-coming this
shortfall in 2001 version? Is there a patch or plug-in??
3) Is there any way you can patch the code so it automatically
displays 'file size' when you see a list of files in the Document
section? I have to click into 'show actions' of a file listing to see
the file size - this is no good.
4) I can't seem to work out how to place a document asset 'directory'
under a category - ie you click on a category, it just lets you insert
individual files and not a 'folder'. This sucks since I want to have
folder trees accessible after you click a 'category' button. Has
anyone solved this one?
Any help would be extremely, extremely appreciated
Thanks all

V2: Users or AD Groups
I am trying to understand the best way to implement SPS
2003. Should I setup the security with SPS Groups being
mapped to AD Groups and not bother with adding the
individual users in SPS, or should I do both. Create the
SPS Group to AD Group mappings and continue to add user
accounts to SPS from the AD groups?
What are the pro's and con's.
Ultimately I would like to find a way to automatically
create the users personal "My Site" and then modify their
personal settings to include a url to their picture.

Document Subscriptions - email is never sent.
I have a web site running on windows 2000 server with
sharepoint team services.
Everything runs properly with the exception of document
change notifications. No subscription emails are ever
sent when docs are updated, added, etc. I can send
invitation emails from the server, and the local smtp
settings are wide open, so I don't think it is an email
problem.
In addition, Sharepoint appears to be updating the
database when the changes are made, although I am not 100%
sure on this.
What steps can I take to track this error down? Are there
registry settings that I can play with to get this
working? What mail queue does sharepoint use?
Any help / guidance would be appreciated!

because even if it is, it's not making a callback to RenderWebPart. How do
I make it so it calls the RenderWebPart method as well as my updater method

[V2] Wierd problem with adding a webpart
Most of the Webparts I've created have added and then when I drag them on to
the webspace add correctly with no security error. However I recently
created one that adds fine but when I drag it into the webpage, it gives the
"Not a safe control" error. However, if I go into the Site Settings, then
Site Administrator then Manage Web Parts and add the webpart there first, it
will appear in the [site] Library under Browse webparts instead of the
Virtual Server Library. (well it still appears in the virtual server
library but dragging from there still gives a security error). If I drag it
from the Site list now onto the site it adds correctly with no security
error. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

upload files programmatically in v2
We're trying to upload files programmatically from the server's hard drive
into a Sharepoint Repository, such as "Shared Documents" in one of our WSS
Sites. When doing this as per the SDK's recommendation, we get the following
error:
The security validation for this page is invalid. Click Back in your Web
browser, refresh the page, and try your operation again.
The first thought here was that we didn't have the proper FormDigest control
or the proper imports at the top of our aspx page. However, after making
sure we put the right stuff in there as per the SDK, we still got the error.
The reason I know we did this properly is because if I take those lines out
of our aspx page, we're unable to do such sharepoint interactions as
creating and deleting users, creating sites, or creating contacts, which
were all things we were able to do just fine. When taking out the lines from
the aspx page we get the same error I wrote above in italics. But it seems
adding those lines back in only resolve the add/remove functionalities for
list items only, but document add/remove attempts still give us that
security validation error. Any ideas? Tag: Collaboration data objects Tag: 20713
Category Redirect from Portal/Category broken
On my production workspace either of the following works to display
categories:
http://<servername>/<workspace>/Portal/Categories

But when I restored the workspace to another server only this link
works.
http://<servername>/<workspace>/Categories
This is a problem because the dashboard link (tab) and several scripts

would the regular dashboard link be broken?
