Hi, all -

Sorry if this is a common question, but I haven't been able to find an
answer.

I've completed installation of SPS07/ProjectServer07 on a single Win2K3
Standard box. Everything works except the 'My Site' integration with desktop
office installations. (This is a small peer-to-peer network - 3 desktops and
the server.)

The personal sites are created with no problem, but I can't hook the desktop
machines up to them. Clicking the 'Set as Default My Site' link does nothing
at all.

Strangely, I have a Win2K partition that still has Office 2K3 installed on
it. This install works as expected - clicking the 'Set as Default My Site'
link results in the creation of the 'My Site' buttons on File Save/Open
dialogs, and the link disappears, once it has served it's purpose. It won't
work with any Office 2K7 installs, though, either on XP or Vista.

The one difference I can think of (besides the Office rev) is the version of
IE running on the various boxes. The Win2K3/Office 2K3 installation that
interacts correctly is running IE6, while all the installations where it
doesn't work are running IE7. The server is designated as a trusted site, so
I wouldn't think that IE security settings were the issue, but maybe I'm
wrong.

I'd really appreciate any help resolving this.

TIA...

I recently attended the 5061A Implementing Microsoft Office Sharepoint
Server 2007 class and a comment was made about project server and
MOSS.

The comment was the they can not run on the same box (MOSS and Project
Server). But if you want to access project server you can use the BDC
(business data catalog) to get to it.

I am not sure the exact reason why but it may have to be that project
server also has it own sharepoint built within it and there may be
conflicts that occur because they are running on the same box. one of
those conflicts could be the whole MySite issue your referring to.
Because, in a sense, you could have a MySite in both MOSS and project
server so it may be getting confused.

There seem to be plenty of messages to the SP newsgroups and forums from
people who say they *have* installed Project Server 2007 and MOSS 2007
on the same server. So that seems to "solve" that art of your question.
I always suggest they ask their Project Server / PWA questions at the
project server newsgroup microsoft.public.project.server btw.

Mind you what this has to do with the subject of this thread
(SPS07/Office07 integration) I don't know - well OK, SPS07 obviously is
a "misprint" for MOSS 2007 but Office07 ?

Thanks for your reponses, folks. I actually spent several hours on the phone
with SharePoint support yesterday. The ProjectServer angle didn't really
come into play at all.

We were able to make the following obeservations.

There are 3 desktop machines tied to a single server box. The server is
running Win2K3 Standard and SQL 2005. The desktop (some of which are
multi-boot dev boxes) are a mix of Win2KPro, XP Pro and Vista Ultimate. The
single Win2K Pro partition is running Office 2K3 Pro and IE6; all the others
are running Office 2007 Ultimate and IE7. Everything is totally up to date -
XP SP3, etc.

There are 3 common user accounts: the main Administrator account and two
others. ALL have administrator privileges on ALL machines; it's a
peer-to-peer network with domains or AD. All accounts are Home Owners in
SharePoint. There are no specially tweaked permissions or anything like
that - very straight-forward, clean installs.

And here's where it gets strange.

The Administrator account works correctly in every partition on every
machine, with every permutation of Office/OS/IE. When you first browse to
the home page of 'My Site', the dialog pops up asking if you want it to be
your default home site, and when confirmed, it does it's thing, creating the
appropriate registry entries and the 'Make this my default site' link
disappears from the 'My Site' home page.

The single Win2K/Office2K3/IE6 partition functions correctly with every user
account.

In every other partition, though, the accounts other than the Administrator
account do not work correctly. The dialog box does not pop up when you first
browse to 'My Site'; the 'set this as my default site' link does not
function. We (support and I) tweaked the registry keys for the user accounts
and did manage to connect the Office installations to the server accounts
manually, but even then the link still appears and is still non-functional.

Any thoughts, anyone?

A minor correction - that should have read 'peer-to-peer network withOUT
domains or AD'.
