    - Version Control question I wanted to post a question to see if I understand version control correctly. When you delete a document from a document library it deletes all the old versions as well? When you delete a document in a document library with version control turned on is there any way to save the old versions or access the old versions? We have a high security doc library but we don't want people to be able to accidentally delete an item and us not have backup. I understand that we can use security to keep people from deleting but some specific people need that function. We just want to protect ourselves in case we need access to it again or accidentally deleted it. Thanks in advance for your help, Paul Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55565

    - Mass upgrades to list definitions across multiple sites - Tools wanted We will regularly need to deploy list customisations to lists in multiple existing workspaces as part of a highly iterative development of a SharePoint based contact management solution. Are there any tools that support the automated synchronisation/updating of list definitions with an authoritative list definition? There is plenty of guidance on up-front customisation but I have found none on mass customisation of live sites. I am aware we could develop the required tools ourselves using the WSS web services, but it would be great if this would not be necessary. Many thanks! Gerke. Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55561

    - Sharepoint Portal - Internet Scalability We are currently invetsigating Sharepoint Portal versus Websphere Portal but we are having trouble finding a user site that has implemented Sharepoint Portal for Internet access. All of the quoted case studies are for intranet or extranet access. For the pilot stage we are hoping for 20 concurrent users before scaling up to 50 in 18 months time and then 100 in 3 years. Any help that anyone could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks Dave Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55548

    - Managing WSS sites without the sites directory Greetings, We have an SPS 2003 portal where the admins wish to remove the sites collection under the Portal Server, but we do need several WSS sites. Is there a way to manage the WSS sites (other than command line) if the sites collection is deleted? Also, the URL of WSS sites is usually in the format - http://portalServer/sites/MyWSSSite If the sites directory is deleted, what will the URL look like? Thanks. Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55547

    - Access Denied over SSL I have an SPS 2001 server setup, and working exactly as it should, from both the internal network and the internet, over HTTP. However, I don't want it running over HTTP, I need it to run over SSL. I've performed all of the required configuration, and SPS now works both internally and externally over SPS - with one big problem. Anytime I try to add a new document, create a sub folder, view a document's history, or perform any action other than viewing existing documents, I get the following error message: "Access Denied - You do not have permission to access this item." This happens both internally and externally, using the IP, hostname or FQDN of the server. I can perform of these actions over SSL using Web Folders no problem, but they just will not work using the browser interface. The server is running using NTLM authentication, although I've tried it with Basic, and it still didn't work. All of the required permissions are configured correcly. Any ideas, I'm really tearing my hair out here?! Gordon Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55533

    - does this scenaria makes sense? Hi, We would like to create a supportdesk for our customers in SharePoint. These are the steps I plan to do: - Create a new portal where siteadmins can maintain the site - create a virtual site and extend it on the main site - make the virtual site accessible for anonymous users, so that basic information is always accessible (toplevel) - create productsubsites in the sites section for the customers. When they click on such a site they have to login. From there I can push information for certain customers who have certain products. Is this the way to do this? Or do I overlook something? maybe some more ideas or case experience? thanks! Angelo Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55532

    - Archiving/deleting content automatically & exporting I am currently assessing SPS for use in our organisation mainly as a discussion forum. We are looking for something with an automated system for either archiving or deleting discussion content at a specified age so that only current discussions are available for general view. (several of our discussion groups require comment within a given time frame & must block comments after that.) Less importantly, we'd like to secure the archives so that only certain people can access them. I've not been able to find any information on this as yet so if anyone could lend a hand I'd be most appreciative. Also is there a way to export discussion content to excel/word/another format to store outside SPS? Thanks in advance Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55528

    - Web Capture Server User Account This is a very useful web part and works for us if set to client, but I'd like to run it in the server, not client context. Whenever I do though, it displays a 'timed out' message. I'm guessing that the account used to access our firewall is no authenticating through the proxy. What account is being used? The default Sharepoint service account does have access rights. Any other suggestions as to what is causing this? Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55525

    - SP Server Data View Error in FP 2003 When Saving--Please Help Hi, I'm trying to insert a data view for an SQL DB onto a Sharepoint page. I can add the data source to the data catalog in FP2003 just fine. I can drag the data source onto a web part zone and it displays without error. I then click the save icon in FP2003, view the page in Sharepoint, and all is well and happy. I then go into the style properties of the data view, and add the toolbar, group, and sort options. It displays the changes in FP2003. I then click the save icon and I get "server error: The URL 'default.aspx' is invalid. Either it has been changed or moved...". I get the same result if I try to add any conditional formatting. This issue doesn't seem to affect data views I add from xml sources, only our SQL DB data sources. It isn't FP2003 because I've testes from multiple computers. Any idea on a fix or workaround? Much appreciated, Jason Basically, it will let me create and add data views off SQL DB's to sharepoint just fine, but if I try and add any formatting or toolbars, It gives me that server error. FP2003 will let me add all the formatting I want without error, and preview it fine, but when I try and save it I get the error. Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55505

    - Listing's and Links List I am looking for a way to display a list of links across all areas and sub areas of our portal. I would like this list to show in new Areas without having to create new listings or a new Links list. Some observations I have made that lead me to believe that this cannot happen. - If you create a listing and then create a new area the listing will not show in the new area unless you recreate the listing and add all the areas including the new one or create a new listing for the new area with the same info as the original listing. - If you make a change to a listing that was created in more than one area the change doesn't propogate to the listing in the other areas. - If you add links to a Links list in an area that Links list will show up as a webpart that can be added to the area in which the Links list exists but not any other areas. I would like to be able to create a Links list in the Home area and add the webpart to other areas so that it shows all the links in the Links list that exists in the Home area. I would also like any additions to that list to show up in the Links list webpart in the other areas. There doesn't seem to be a dynamic connection. Basically I want a dynamic way to maintain a list of links where I can add and remove links and have the changes replicated across all instances of a Link list. Am I wrong?

    - Documents not being stripped out of search if user lacks security permissions. Hi, I've been tasked to research this problem. I can search from the SPS home page as just a reader with no permissions to a WSS site, and the search results will still show that site. If I click on the link, it will pop up a security box for typing in my username, domain, password. With the permissions I'm using, it will not let me in. So, I've read in this group where Sharepoint is supposed to strip out results that the user does not have permission to see. This functionality is currently not working.

    - Domain Account Mode on SPS and domain controllers Hi, I am using SPS on a win2k3 box that is situated outside of my corporate lan. My corporate LAN holds most (but not all) of my users (these users are company employees.) In addition to these users I wish to add about 200+ clients so that they can use SPS as an extranet. As far as I am aware "Domain Account Mode" is the only mode availible for SPS. I am a little wary of adding these new (extranet users) to my corporate LAN's Active Directory. I thought than I would add them to the win2k3 box that hosts sharepoint in my DMZ. However I am unsure of how I achieve this. Should I 1. Simply add the Extranet Users as local users to my win2k3 box -- then sharepoint will have to be aware of my local users AND the users in my Corporate LAN - I am unsure if this arrangement is possible. 2. Elevate the Win2k3 box in my DMZ to a domain controller, thus providing a brand new domain in my DMZ, which will be made up of only a single box (also running SPS although NOT SQL or exchange) and then set up some sort of forest arrangement / trust relationship between the new domain in the DMZ and my corporate LAN (as I assume IIS integrated authentication will have to look up both Internal and extranet users.) This last point I am leaning towards, however it brings up another point. Can I use SPS on a box that is a domain controller?? -- Does this pose a securiity risk?? Please note that SQL SERVER will not be on the same box as sharepoint (Sharepoiint will be on a single domain controller in the DMZ), but (SQL SERVER) will be on another box INSIDE my corporate LAN (so I guess I will have to set up some form of trust relationship so trusted authentication will work.) At present I am not linking into MS exchange, although I do have an exchange server inside my corporate LAN which I might like to uses at some point. I would appreciate any advise or comments (positive or negative) about the best way to set up SPS in a DMZ as an extranet. many thanks in advance. Cheers Martin. Tag: Rename a team site? Tag: 55482

Is there a way to reconnect the SPS to the config DB on this virtual server? Any suggestions?

SPS2003? I named a site http://portal/sites/sorbanes-oxley and it needs to
be changed to http://portal/sites/sarbanes-oxley.

Creating a template doesn't work in this case only for subsites. I created
a template and tried to create a new site from it but the template wasn't
listed. when I created a sub site I was allowed to use the template bu this
does me no good.

Create a site with the new name (close your browser before selecting a
template), backup the old site using FP or smigrate, and restore to the
newly created site.
