    - What's the password for "My Site"? Yesterday, I installed the MOSS 2007. After installation, I replaced the "Content Database" to the SQL 2005 Enterprise, not the SQL 2005 Express. After that, when I try to create the "My Site", the system asked me to input the username and the password. I entered the right username and password. But no use. finally, "401 UNAUTHORIZED" was displayed. What should I do? How to config the MOSS to create the "My Site" without the password? Tag: Sharepoint configuration analyzer Tag: 100001

    - error creating deployment path - known issue resolution fails ok so I am attempting to migrate a large amount of content from one MOSS server to another on a different farm in the same domain. I have migrated all of the sites except the largest (of course) which has failed using the same technique as the others which was to use "stsadm -o export". If I use "stsadm -o export" it failes about 50-60% the way through the import. I have even tried the nofilecompression option on export and import to get around disk space problems. Anyway, i want to try the migration path option but when I attempt to set up the path I get Value does not fall within the expected range. After some hunting around I found two references to this problem: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101633851033.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926281 The machine I am trying to migrate has been in use since Beta TR1(?) I believe and has since been upgraded to RTM. The problem occurs when I attempt to run the set of commands described in both articles as follows: Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name deployment -url URL Stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name migration -url URL Stsadm -o activatefeature -name deployment -url URL Stsadm -o activatefeature -name migration -url URL When I run either of the first two commands I get the following error Failed to find the XML file at location '12\Template\Features\deployment\feature.xml' Failed to find the XML file at location '12\Template\Features\migration\feature.xml' I have looked and of course those files do not exist. What I dont understand though is that they do not exist on my new clean server to which I have been importing content to and that I am able to create deployment paths from the new machine to the old... Am I missing some feature files? All help and advice greatly appreciated Cheers! Kyle P.S. apologies for the cross-post here and on the public forums.

    - Web Image file manager for SPS 2003? I would like to enable users to use a web based (image) file manager to add images to a online web editor. The images are stored in a picture library and uploads should be added here too. For now I have Tiny MCE web text editor and I need the option to add pictures from SharePoint. The same Vendor has a filemanager, thsat should be fine for the task except it does not handle web paths (that is, I cant give it a web path for the picture library)... any ideas to provide this functionality (without writing the functionality on my own that is :o)?

    - Restore Capabilities. Hi, Hoping someone can help me urgently. I've just deleted a document library on sharepoint server 2003 by mistake. Its around 213mb in size and although in theory it can be restored, it does contain alot of version history. Our sys admin guys claim that it is possible to restore the document library and the all the version if they do a full portal restore. But everyone else in the organisation loses any chnages they made to the portal in that timeframe. Is it possible to simply restore a document library itself, and all the version history that is held within it without using the above method. Surely it if possible to be a full restore; it should be possible to do a partial restore of just the deleted library in question ? Hoping someone can help me as i'm in deep trouble !!

    - Change default sharepoint page I just setup the sharepoint server. I have created new Sites and Workspaces and would like one of those sites to be my default sharepoint page. Right now when you go to \\ServerName it brings up the default sharepoint page that has nothing in it. I created a page called home at \\ServerName\Home and that is where I would like it to default when someone types in \\ServerName. I don't want to tell people to go to \\ServerName\Home, I just want them to have to remember the server name and have it go to the page I want it to. I attempted to change it in IIS with no luck.

The server is at http://servername, and the reporting services site is at http://servername:8080/reportserver. Both of which work fine.

    - Corrupted SPS 2003 Configuration ?? Reconfiguring RE: Corrupted SPS 2003 Configuration ?? I'm running the prescan tool against a Sharepoint Portal Services 2003 server. I get this error: Skipping virtual server: . Server state = NeedUpgrade. Most likely this virtual server is not extended with WSS v2. This KB says my Configuration is likely corrupted: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937291 and suggest I do these steps: To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration. 2. On the SharePoint Central Administration Web page, create a new configuration database. 3. For each virtual server that was extended, click Configure Virtual Server Settings, and then click Remove Windows SharePoint Services from Virtual Server. Remember to keep the existing content databases. 4. Use a blank content database to reextend the virtual server. 5. Under Manage Content Databases, remove the blank content database, and then add the existing content database. If Prescan.exe cannot upgrade a content database, you may receive the following error message when you try to upgrade to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0: Problem is step #3 does not offer a Remove button or option in SPS 2003. I've recreated the environment and created a simple site on a VM. I'd like to POC that I can recreate an sps 2003 site's configuration. Does anybody have the actual steps? Also, I'm a bit confused about some terms and concepts. As far as sps2003 is concerned. - What's the difference between an sps site a virtual server and a portal site? - What does it mean to extend a Virtual Server? - I noticed options for WSS and SPS in the Central Admin, when do you use one vs. the other? - and my original question.. if my configuration is infact corrupted or bad, and I have all my databases, how can I rebuild the configuation? Thank you for any help or information. Tag: Sharepoint configuration analyzer Tag: 99945

Why am I creating a new WSS 3.0 Web Application? What if one already exsist and my goal is copy an v2 site to a v3 subsite? Which Content DB am I deleting the new or the old? And why do th is before I do the add AddContentdb? Also, won't there be issues with the v2 Database and Table format not matching v2 Table layouts?

On boot up noticed some bad things.. like the VM still pointing to Production for Config.. and worse.. Production (occassionally) pointing to the VM for content databases.. yikes.. Okay, so we fixed the VM so it's not using DNS or the AD for that matter and can't see the Production Config DB while we think this through. I log in as a local Admin (no choice) and run the centralized admin on the VM.. as expected.. I see this error: Unable to connect to the configuration database. Ensure that the database server is online and that the configuration database exists. If the configuration database administration account password recently changed or expired, see the Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administrator's Guide for instructions on how to update the password. If the configuration database or database server is permanently unavailable, click Disconnect from configuration database I want to be careful and not hose the VM environment.. but I am wondering, what steps can I take to point to the local db for configuration? And will I be able to do this with a local user and no AD? Right now, I have an option to Disconnect from configuration database (which is the production DB) .. eventhough clearly I'm not connected to it. Thanks for any help or information.

    - Server error after changing master page file Hi, I edited one of the master pages in the Sharepoint master page gallery with Sharepoint Designer 2007. All I did was include this before the </head> tag: <style> .body {background-color: pink;} </style> I then saved the master page and tried to use it in Sharepoint. However, after I change the master page to the one I edited, and try to navigate to home, I get this error: Server Error in '/' Application. Resource cannot be found. When viewing source, I also see this: [FileNotFoundException]: The file /_catalogs/masterpage/ _controltemplates/Welcome.ascx does not exist. Now, why would editing the master page do this? FYI, if I switch to any other master page in the master page gallery, it works fine. Thanks! Tag: Sharepoint configuration analyzer Tag: 99893

    - Adding New User Turning Off Welcome Email I'm running MOSS 2007, and on the Site Settings > Permissions > Add Users screen, I want to make the "Send welcome e-mail to the new users" unchecked as the default, so that I don't have to remember to uncheck it when I add new users to groups. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance! Tag: Sharepoint configuration analyzer Tag: 99891

    - User Permissions - Create Page I am trying to give users the permission to create pages from within Sharepoint, rather than Sharepoint Designer. I have given them full control, with which they are able to create sites and all other functions, but are unable to create a page from the "Site Actions" tab. As administrator of the site collection I am able to create pages but would like to allow sub-site authors to be able to do so also. I have tried creating Groups and then adding users, but they are still unable to create pages. I have added the user to the Owners group, to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    - Cannot import Excel spreadsheet as a list in Sharepoint 2003 Hello, I am trying to move a custom list in SharePoint 2003 from one portal site to another, utilizing the 'Export/Import Spreadsheet' feature. I have no problems exporting the list to Excel and saving it. When I import it, however, it never gives me the choice of selecting the range to import. Clicking the import button in SharePoint, the application goes to the Site Settings page. When I check my list area, the imported list does not show. I am using Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2003. I have tried it on a machine with Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2007 and it works just fine. I have also tried another machine that has Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2003 and it worked fine there too. Has anybody come across this issue? All suggestions/solutions are greatly appreciated. TIA. Regards, Antje Crawford Tag: Sharepoint configuration analyzer Tag: 99884
