    - SharePoint 2003 - There is not enough disk space on server "servername" FYI - Exception in BackupSQL: Source=SQLBkMgd, Message=There is not enough disk space on server "servername" to complete the database ""databasename operation. Increase the space available and try again.<BR> If you get this error message, chances are that it is all bull. We have a small server farm configuration, SharePoint was invoking the backup however after generating 2 files on sharePoint, SQL failed to generate the remaining 3 backup files with the above error message. Data was being written to SAN and SAN had plenty of space so where was the problem???? When we went to the SQL box, it threw a delayed write error too. Our network guy changed the link & duplex setting on the network card to 100MB/s and full duplex on both SQL and SharePoint server and voila BACKUP Works again. It was on auto detect before. hope this helps. Rahul Tag: SharePoint 2003 - Is there a tool to create data Tag: 66766

    - users seeing shared workspace upon entering the portal there doesn't appear to be any simple way that a user who has been added to workspaces for sharing files is directed to that workspace through the portal. is it possible if when a user signed on to the portal that there was automatically a listing of workspace sites they were assured to which they were a user with access? I know this is possible if the user logs into a MySite page where that have right to access workspace. Jim Tag: SharePoint 2003 - Is there a tool to create data Tag: 66757

    - Adding AD Groups to portal not working right I came into an install that I did not do. I try to add a group to the portal from active directory that is called gls-iscms-spsreader and I add that AD group to the readers group in sharepoint. But when I look at the AD group in the portal the name is not gls-iscms-spsreader it is just iscms\spsreader. And if I try to change the rights for the domain group in the portal it says user does not exist. Anybody know what might be causing this.

    - Sharepoint Authentication issue Hi there We are running WSS 2.0 on our server here, and is accessible internally and externally no problem. We have a client however who whenever he accesses the internet, he has to enter his Domain login details (that are different from the domain login details that we have supplied him to access the Sharepoint site). After entering these, he gets an error message saying that invalid credentials basically. So it looks like its trying to use the credentials he supplies to get onto the internet, and it doesnt prompt him for credentials to log into our site, even if he tries a refresh!! Any ideas on how to get around? Thanks in advance David Crone Tag: SharePoint 2003 - Is there a tool to create data Tag: 66739

    - How to manage the permission? For example, I have set three permission rights for documents and users, right A, B and C. A is the highest(e.g. administrator) and C is lowest(e.g. reader). I would like to set the performance of searching so that the documents with permission right A could not be searched by users with right B and C. For users with right B, they could search documents with right B and C. Obviously users with right C could search for documents with right C.

In one of my site I made a link to a database and it works perfectly but, as soon as the application is launched, it offers to download the application onto the user's PC. I do not want the application to be downloaded. It MUST stay and be used from the server ONLY! What can I do to inhibit the downloading?

    - Upgrade forSPS to SP1 asks for WSS SP1 prior to installing I have a SPS portal. I downloaded SP1 for SPS. When I run the installer, I get a warning dialog box that says: "You must have Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed before you can install SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SP1. Please download and install Windows SharePoint Services SP1 from www.microsoft.com before you install SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SP1." So I went online to download WSS SP1 and guess what? They relaeased SP2. So the question of the day here is can I load WSS SP2 and then SPS SP1? or will SPS SP1 now choke because WSS SP2 is on the box? Alternatively, is there somewhere to download WSS SP1? Thanks in advance, joe Tag: SharePoint 2003 - Is there a tool to create data Tag: 66725

    - "File not found" and "The area does not exist" issues after copying portal site to new server I copied a portal site to a new server, following the instructions at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver/browse_thread/thread/a2bb6d89608ffe15/ed85d80650408ee9?lnk=st&q=%22SharePoint+portal+server%22+%22portal+site%22+%22new+server%22&rnum=8#ed85d80650408ee9 , which describe how to back up the *_SITE, *_PROF and *_SERV databases of a portal site and restore them in a portal site on a new server. It seemed like all went well. All the documents in the portal site are there, and can be accessed. But when I try to access the Manage Content page of any of the areas, I get a "File not found" error on the page, with "The area does not exist" appearing in the nav bar at the top of the page instead of the links. (The areas do indeed seem to exist, since clicking on the Manage Content link in any of them is what causes the error message to appear.) It seems the issue is caused by the presence of a Links list in one of the areas. How can I copy the Links list from the old server to the new server and get the new copy of the portal site working, assuming this is the cause of the error?

I intended to have my portal with following structure Portal site - Topics - News - Sites - Team websites (WSS) - Public Access (All users with limited rigths) - Team Acess only (restricted area for team) The scenario I try to avoid is to manually enter the individual username on individual teamsite.

    - Integration of Contact lists Hi, I'm currently looking at SharePoint Portal Server to hopefully provide integration of Contact lists from MS CRM 1.2, a MS Exchange 2003 Public Folder and contacts within a SharePoint site itself. We currently have a list of company contacts in a shared Public Folder on our Exchange 2003 server. This works well, allowing everyone to see the shared contacts in Outlook and update/create as permissions allow. We plan to implement MS CRM 1.2 in the near future which I would believe have a seperate list of contacts. So, can SPS, CRM and Exchange all share a central contacts list? or do I have to duplicate up my lists? Regards, James Tag: SharePoint 2003 - Is there a tool to create data Tag: 66696

Is there a tool to help create large amounts of data for the various server
farm configurations to assist in scalability and performance testing?

For example Exchange has loadsim. Does SharePoint 2003 have any tools to
assist in this?

Thanks in advance

you can use the application center that is delivered with visual studio
architect I think. With this product you can test the request to your IIS
server...not data.

Thanks. We're actually trying to work with a 3rd party backup application
and trying to see what performance will be like as we move forward with a
SharePoint deployment. We don't have much data at this point, but would like
to get a feel for performance for down the road.

Thanks
