    - Alerts for Documents Pending? Does anyone know how to set an alert (if at all possible) to notify when someone else has changed or modified a document and I need to approve it? As far as I can see, this means that in a "Content approval required" doc. library, things just go missing (i.e. they have been modified). Because they are not considered to be "in" the library, I don't get an alert for them which means that they just sit there waiting to be "approved". Anyone else noticed this? Any work arounds/solutions? Dave Tag: Document Libraries and Mail Enabled Public Folders.... Tag: 61157

    - allow all users accessing the portal to create a workspace... We created a portal based on Sharepoint Portal Server. We also have WSS installed. We need to allow all users accessing the portal to create a workspace which will be used as a collaboration space to share documents etc. Since all our users on the portal are readers, they cannot create workspaces. Is there a way to be able to solve this problem? And is there any webpart which shows, for the currently logged in user, only the workspaces he is member of ?

    - Portal Area - Group Bug I hope to suggest that Group field is available for user to choose when submitting to Areas other than Home. Currently, I created a few Groups, for eg, "Admin", "HR" under new Forms area. However, when i try "Submit to Portal Area", the Group drop down list box automaticall disappears. It will be sumitted to "General" and I have to go to area to re-orgnanise the listings. This problem does not happen if i submit to portal area "Home".

    - SPS intregration with AD Hi All I Have to change the Default.aspx page and add two new webparts. I dunno how to do that. Also at the same time I dont want to you "MySite" feature to make a new portal. Is there a way in which I can edit the Default.aspx page, if yes - how do I edit it. Another problem that I'm facing is deleting accounts from SPP. I've intregrated SPP users with AD. The moment I remove a name from AD, it does not reflect in SharePoint. Also I cant delete the account from SPP if it is deleted in AD. I can only delete the account when I "Disable" the User in AD. This is creating a lot of mess, as I have people who have left the organization but still are a part of the AD, just because of SharePoint. Can anyone help me with this.

    - Logon/Access problems I work for a professional organization, with staff on site, and members accessing the sharepoint site from outside. Most of the "outsiders" can get in, but we are experiencing enough people who can't get it. I have not deleted them and re-added them, so that's not the problem. I've had them try it from home and work, so the firewall probably isn't an issue. I can log on as them to the sharepoint site, and get in, but they can't. Any suggestions?

Someone uploaded an older version and the "Overwrite Existing" checkbox was checked and we lost the most up-to-date version and all saved versions were also wiped out.

    - WSS not installed on virtual server, but still running SPS and WSS Hi, I have quite a strange problem. We have a server with SPS 2003 and SP1 installed. We have created a portal as well as a bunch of wss sites. It has run without problems for a couple of months, but recently I wanted to adminster the virtual server settings. I clicked the Site settings link on the portal, then Go to SPS Central Admin > Windows Sharepoint Services > Configure virtual server settings. Here I get a list of all virtual servers and the installed versions of WSS, and the strange thing is that it says Not installed on all virtual servers! So I can't configure the vs but I know it is installed (because I installed it) and we are running SPS and WSS on that box, without other problems. Does someone have an explanation to what could have caused this and/or how to fix it? Tag: Document Libraries and Mail Enabled Public Folders.... Tag: 61065

    - Metadata missing after drag and drop I have configured picture libraries in 2 WSS sub-sites on different servers. The libraries have a custom column with a choice of values. The default is a calculated value (basically assigning a text value which is not in the choice list). The client machine is running Office 2000. When uploading a number of files via copy and paste in the Explorer view, the default value for the custom column is set in one of the lbraries but not in the other. Both libraries are hosted on Windows 2003 Server, one was created by Project server as a Project site, the other through Sharepoint Portal Server site creation. I know there are issues with Explorer view and Office 2000 but why might the upload work differently on the 2 libraries? -- Frank Tag: Document Libraries and Mail Enabled Public Folders....

    - newbie: Forms not showing after publish from Infopath Dear all, I am a newbie so please excuse me if I appear dumb... I have design a form in Infopath with default settings for the submit button etc. I have a single datasource which is a text line bound to a control. I publish the form using the "create new site" option. In my Sharepoint site, under Documents and Lists I can see the new site. When I go to the site and look at modify columns and settings, the template is set to (what I presume is) my new document. When I click the Fill out this form button, the form opens and clicking Submit says this form has been submitted ok, BUT NO FORM ENTRY IS LISTED. Am I misunderstanding the way that forms should be used? I thought each time I hit "fill in this form", I would get a new entry in the list after hitting submit; thus if this was a Service Request Form (for a broken lightbulb or something), there would be a list of the forms currently outstanding. I really, think I am misunderstanding the use of forms and bound data. I assumed that sharepoint would create working tables to store the bound data. Correct? Why do I not get a new entry each time I hit submit (or, in my case, never)? To help you wizards answer this, here is a description of my setup: - Development machine - Win XP Pro, Office 2003, Infopath 2003. Sharepoint server - Windows Server 2003 and latest Sharepoint with all patches applied. To add to (my) confusion if I upload the file, the form seems to appear but unless I choose to update xml AFTER I have submitted the form, then the on-screen value of my text column does not alter.

    - set 'discussion web part' to initialise in 'threaded' view We have just created a custom template for our SPS areas that contains a discussion web part. We did this by editing the onet.xml file. The templates work find but when the discussion web part initialises it always comes up in the default view...but we *always* want it in the threaded view.

    - Basic Architectural Question- Deployment Planning Just need a a little help. We are at the end of out budget year and are buying SharePoint. Money just came up and dont have much time to research. I have an idea of how we would deploy and were looking for suggestions and opinions. Here goes. We are a company of about 350 employees. We have 6 offices. Users MUST be able to get to their files (Or the better part of their files if the lines go down) I am thinking that we deploy a sharepoint server and SQL in each of the the offices. That way users would always be able to get local accesss to their files. Finally I am thinking that we should be able to setup collaboration between the sharepoint servers in each of our offices in order to support collaboration among offices. Is this a good way to go? Is there a better senario? Am I missing something entirely? I appologize for the lack of info on my part, I just need some quick info. Tag: Document Libraries and Mail Enabled Public Folders....

    - Using ADAM with SPS We're developing a new SPS project as a central point-of-contact for the KM/DM + for our Firm. Being new to SPS/WSS we're thinking that it would be great to use AD for our authentication, and white pages, and use the more flexible/isolated ADAM schema approach for defining roles for Authorization, Audiences and Security Groups (We really don't want to modify the AD schema - especially during planning/development/prototyping). Unfortunately, from what I've read, SPS 2003 is not able to integrate with ADAM. Can anyone tell me if this integration issue is addressed in Windows Server 2003 (R2)??? If so - I'll download and install the R2 Beta and hope that Microsoft can deliver the RC be year-end 2005; otherwise we're going to need to rethink our path forward on the project. Thanks!

    - Sharepoint and NTLM authentication problem Hi, We have an SPS 2003 server with a number of portals configured with a single parent and a number of child portals. All of the workstations I use are set up with Win XP and have *.company.com in the trusted sites zone. With several of my workstations I can log into all portals with no problem. However, with other workstations I get the dreaded credentials dialog for login and password. I've verified that the IE settings are the same for all workstations, cleared the cookies and cache but still can't get to some sites without entering credentials. What is perplexing is that some portals work while others don't from the same workstation. I would think that if NTLM wasn't working it would fail for all portals.
