    - Incoming E-mail configuration - what permissions are required for Hello all, I have a MOSS 2007 SP1 (x64) server running on Windows 2008 Enterprise (x64). The system is configured using the Microsoft best practices for MOSS, which use the concept of "least privilege," creating several domain accounts that have only standard user rights plus whatever MOSS auto- assigns to them. I have been fighting with the incoming e-mail stuff for a week. I'm aware of the whitepaper from "CombinedKnowledge" - I followed it closely, but continued to have problems. Here's a layout of the environment. SQL 2000 SP4 on a two node Cluster (has to be SQL 2000 due to other app requirements) SHGMOSS1 - single MOSS 2007 Enterprise server, all services are currently running here. Domain is SHG and all accounts listed below are in that domain as normal users. Accounts used for MOSS: svcMOSS - Main farm account, Central Admin app pool and DB access svcMOSS_SSP - Shared Service Provider (SharedServices1) account svcMOSS_Index - DB index / search account svcMOSS_ca - content access account for indexer svcMOSS_ap1 - App Pool 1 account (app pool for SharedServices1) svcMOSS_ap2 - App pool 2 account (app pool for MySites) While trying to mail-enable a collection, I kept getting "Access denied" and "Error in application" type errors when it was trying to create the contact in Active Directory. My DirMan config looks like so: OU=SharePoint,DC=ourcompany,DC=local The OU "SharePoint" exists in the root of the domain, and "ourcompany.local" (obviously changed) is the FQDN for the domain. The documentation is NOT clear on what accounts need access to the OU. The CombinedKnowledge whitepaper implies that only the Central Admin account has to be able to modify the OU but I have eventually found this to be FALSE. Out of frustration, I eventually gave *all* of the accounts listed above Full Access to the OU (and all child objects). I was still getting Access Denied and/or generic Errors. I haven't even bothered to setup the SMTP portion of things because the process is failing before it gets that far - the contact isn't being created in Active Directory. Note that all accounts are in the appropriate WSS_WPG and WSS_Admin_WPG groups on the local machine - I followed the normal setup procedure and allowed the system to do what it wanted when I chose the accounts. What finally "fixed" the problem - I had to make the App Pool account for any App Pool that I want to e-mail enable a LOCAL Administrator on the MOSS server. This makes NO sense to me - why would I need local Admin for a domain operation? Also, I had the exact same problem when using "least privilege" accounts on Windows 2003 R2 SP2, so this is not anything Server 2008 specific. I have been using Process Monitor to figure out what is failing for a normal user account but i'm not getting any access denied or failure messages, so I'm not sure why the App Pool accounts have to be Local Administrators for the contact creation to work. So, I have things "working" but in a sub-optimal way due to the lack of security. Microsoft's documented practices don't work here, and there's no explanation as to why. Event Logs and the MOSS logs haven't helped me yet. Can someone point out what security options I might need to get this to work without Administrator rights? Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99699

    - Excel Services refresh failure I have a Excel workbook stored in a MOSS trusted report library using an odc connection from a trusted data connections library that pulls data into a pivot table from an Analysis Services cube. The connection to the cube has to be made through the http olap pump because our internal network is such a patchwork that our users do not authenticate to any microsoft network, much less the one the SSAS server authenticates to. There are also firewalls between some segments of our network and the server that make it even more necessary to use http authentication. The data is not particularly sensitive, so anonymous users just authenticate as IUSER_Servername and that local account has been given the appropriate rights to access the cube. In the web part I need to have a default value sent to the date parameter to get today's data on opening. When the workbook is opened through Excel locally or through the Sharepoint library using the "Edit in Excel" command it works fine. When it is displayed in a Excel Services web part the refresh fails, and when it is accessed using the "View in Web Browser" command the refresh fails. The failure message returns very quickly and says: Data Refresh Failed Unable to retrieve external data for the following connections: MyconnectionFileName The data sources may be unreachable, may not be responding, or may have denied you access. Verify that data refresh is enabled for the trusted file location and that the workbook data authentication is correctly set. I have a KPI list based on that same connection that works fine, although it takes several seconds to populate the data so I do not believe the problem is related to security, firewalls, or anything else except something unique to Excel Services. I am not a SharePoint Admin- that is outsourced to a contractor so when I want a configuration change I have to submit a request stating exactly the settings I want, then wait for them to make the change- it can easily take a week or more to get the changes made. I believe I am the only one that has started using Excel Services on our SharePoint site as it was not configured until I requested that it be done, and the settings I requested were these: Please insure that the following configuration is set for the trusted file location "my stuff address" 1. Trust Children = yes 2. Under the External Data section set Allow External Data to Trusted data connection libraries only, or Trusted data connection libraries and embedded (embedded is preferred- but would live with tdc library.) 3. Warn on refresh = no 4. User defined functions = yes I have found no similar issues on my searches of the internet, and I am out of ideas. Can you suggest other settings that may need to be made to get the functionality to work as desired? Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99695

    - SPS Portal restore to new Farm.. Hello - i'm hoping someone can help with this problem. We are replicating our sharepoint infrastructure onto 2 new farms (the company is demergin so we need to create 2 new environments for everything we have!). Currently we have 2 farms that either host sharepoint sites for internal users (e.g. company intranet) or external users (e.g. collaboration sites). The Farms are setup as: 2 x Web Servers (WSS 2.0 & SPS 2003) 1 x Job & Index Server (WSS 2.0 & SPS 2003) 1 x SQL Server (SQL Server 2000). The 2 new companies will have 1 Farm with all the sites consolidated into it. Don't ask why there are 2 farms currently - it was inherited! Anyway, i am using the SPS Backup and Restore Utility to backup portals and restore. Everything works as expected for Portals backed up from the internal farm but not for the external farm. On restoring a portal we receive the following errors: In SPS Backup & Restore Utility following message is displayed, usually about 35% through the restore: "Error: The site database specified is already in use by another component of the farm". The popup box also says to consult the database servers event log. The SQL Server eventlog has the following entry: "Recovery is checkpointing database 'Projects1_SITE'." The SQL Activity logs has an entry that says: "Bypassing recovery for database 'Projects1_SITE' because it is marked IN LOAD." Followed by: "Recovery is checkpointing database 'Projects_SITE' (18)" I have seen posts that say to do the restore with the NORECOVERY switch but i don't see where to specify that using the SPS Backup & Restore Utility. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Oli. Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99693

    - Moss 2007 Active Directory/LDAP with SSL Configuration Issue Hi all, I tried to setup moss 2007 form based authentication against Active Directory with AD/LDAP Membership Provider. However, I tried for the last 5 days to figure out what's wrong with the setup but no luck. Could anyone tell me what could be wrong with the setup? Here is what I did 1. Create web application to host https://extranet.acme.com with "default zone" and use form with either AD/LDAP Membership Provider so external users login with their internal NT Account or Email (BTW I used SSL 128 bit) 2. Extend the above web application to host intranet http://intranet with "Intranet zone" 3. Modify web.config of both Central Administration and extranet 4.Here is partial of web.config file that show connection and membership //AD Membership Provider <connectionStrings> <add name="ADConnection" connectionString="LDAP://server1.acme.com/ CN=Users,DC=acme,DC=com" /> </connectionStrings> <membership defaultProvider="ADProviderService"> <providers> <add name="ADProviderService" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ADConnection" connectionUsername="acme\app_account" connectionPassword="abc123"/> </providers> </membership> //LDAP Membership Provider <membership> <providers> <add name="ADProviderService" type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LDAPMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71E9BCE111E9429C" server="server1.acme.com" port="389" useSSL="true" userDNAttribute="distinguishedName" userNameAttribute="sAMAccountName" userContainer="OU=Users,OU=Dener,DC=acme,DC=com" userObjectClass="person" userFilter="(|(ObjectCategory=group) (ObjectClass=person))" scope="Subtree" otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" /> </providers> </membership> When I try AD Membership Provider and login to the form with either email or nt account, I got the following sign in form error "The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again." Then I take a look at the server event viewer, I got the following error Event Type: Information Event Source: ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0 Event Category: Web Event Event ID: 1315 Date: 5/1/2008 Time: 12:40:27 AM User: N/A Computer: MYSERVER Description: Event code: 4006 Event message: Membership credential verification failed.

    - Creating users I would like to create some new SharePoint users. My sys admin told me that he cannot create them in the AD. The goal is to test the audience with some fake users and to give a demo to someone logging in from a VPN. Optimally, our client will will log in as himself (SP Site Collection admin) through a VPN and connect to SharePoin to see some functionality (always as himself), and then log in as different users (IndiaUser, MexicoUser) throught the menu option "Sign me in as a differnt user" to view the audience functionality. How can I arrange this from SharePoint? It seems it will only accept domain users. I'm relatively new to SharePoint and cannot find info on this topic anywhere. Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99686

    - Problem with sharepoint intermittently not saving changes. We are experiencing a problem with Sharepoint intermittently not saving changes made to word documents & excel spreadsheets in document libraries and also when opening a document or spreadsheet it will intermittently open read-only (The file is always opened for editing in the native application.) Sharepoint allows you to edit a file, make changes and then save, but when it is reopened the changes have disappeared. This happens from multiple workstations running XP (SP2) & Office 2003 (SP2 & SP3) and on multiple documents and spreadsheets and is occuring on the Portal and within WSS.

    - Boxed View Style Hi When I create a new view on the contacts list using the Boxed Style, SharePoint 2007 includes the column headings horizontally at the top of the view. This doesn't make sense as the Boxed View pivots the data row to display it vertically and column headings can be included as labels. I've checked the behaviour on SP 2003 and it does not include the column heading, in other words this works as you would expect it to in 2003 but not in 2007. Any ideas? Is there a way to suppress the display of column headings when displaying lists via a web part? Cheers Doug Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99682

    - SharePoint Upgrade Help Needed Hi all, I amhaving a single server implementation of SPS 2003 SP3, Sql 2000....everything in one box. I am moving to new hardware, which will be a full fledge server farm with web servers, application servers and sql servers all separated. I do not want to use database migration technique, since ultimately it would be an in place upgrade, and if some sites are not properly upgraded, there is no going back...yea I understand that I will have the original environment intact as a back up....but how would I deal with a site which is not properly upgraded in the new environment, given there is no going back option. (Am I right, wrong, there is a work around, anything). So, currently, I plan to run the gradual upgrade on my current single server implementation. Once upgraded, I intend to move everything from it to the new full fledge farm implementation. (Later, we will retire this server). (Is this approach correct, incorrect, your suggestions) Now can I do anything of the following and which is correct, best, or anything that you suggest: Backup the whole portal (on my single server implementation) and restore it to the new farm. And Im done. New farm will have two web servers, two app servers and sql cluster. The new farm is configured independently of the old single server implementation. (I wonder if this is even possible?) OR, I should use attach/detach to move the sql server components to new Sql cluster. And then move the web server components to new web servers. And then configure the app servers. And all that is done manually. (Am I actually talking about database migration technique but doing it after the upgrade?) Portal currently in use is not highly customized, may be a few frontpage customizations. 500 to 800 users. No custom webparts. One main level portal. 150 to 200 sites. 50+- subsites. Please note that doing the gradual upgrade on the current server is what I HAVE to do, officially. Anything totally different that you wanna suggest is most welcome.

I add the AUTHOR site column to it and upload several WORD documents (both 2003 adn 2007). The Author comes into the field as expected; however I cannot EDIT it using the Edit Properties option int he doc library. In Word 2007 I can go into the (Office Icon)-->Preapre-->Properties window and I see 3 optoins: -Document Properites -Document Properites - Server -Advanced Properties If I EDIT the "_Author" property under Advanced Properties, I can change the Author that shows up in sharepoint. Editing either of the other 2 doesn't change it. And I just noticed that editing the Author on the site in Edit-Properties actually edits the Documents properties, but the site still only shows the _Author property. Driving me nuts...any advice is greatly appreciated. regards, -h.liles Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99654

    - How to accomplish this goal? Hi guys, We would like to add a custom list in Sharepoint site. And only let a specific group users add item, but can not view those items. I've tried the approach below. Create 2 lists(list a and list b) with same columns. give the specific group users contribute permission on list a, but no access on list b. And develop an event handler on list a's itemadded event. When one item was added in list a, copy it to list b then delete it from list a. Unfortunately, I found the event handler did NOT work for the specific group users. Only work for the group users who have access on list b. Do you have any good ideas?

    - How to create new WSS sites in newly upgraded MOSS 2007 installati I recently upgraded my SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007 and all is running well.

    - Get SharePoint Email Enabled Doc Library to Store Messages as MSG We have a large (20 GB +) set of Public Folders on Exchange 2000. We migrate all the closed PF to MOSS 2K7 using Quest's Public Folder Migrator. We were all ready to go live and move production data, when we saw the behavior of new email messages sent to them. Has anyone else seen this problem and found a solution? I'd be willing to look at another 3rd Party tool of it could get us over this hump quickly. It really seems like it should be a no-brainer given that the tool is meant to integrate with Exchange and Outlook.

    - Is it possible Single Sign-on between two sharepoint sites I have 2 sharepoint applications in my web server ( First application is called A and the second application is called B). Both applications (A+B) are working absolutely fine without any issues. When we browse the web site A it asks for authentication and once the credentials are provided, I get access to the web site. This is the same case with Application B. There is a link in sharepoint application A to sharepoint application B. When we follow the link, the authentication popup appears again=85.Is there any way with which we can avoid the second authentication popup. Any possible help/links in this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Regards Sreejesh Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99624

    - MOSS 2007 Site Content not appearing After adding a SP Portal 2003 db to a MOSS 2007 application via sts (see below) I am unable to see any content from the db. The problem is when I am looking at the db I see in dbo.alldocs there are some 27000 items both the site version (12.0.0.6219) and BitFlags (262144) are correct but no data. STSADM Command: stsadm -o addcontentdb -url http://blah-web:24146 -databasename dbblahSITE -datbaseserver There was no customization in the templates, no web parts... this was just a straight forward SPS 2003 site that was pre=scan based on the version number. I'm at a loss and spent some time on the phone with Microsoft... One tech asked me what WSS stood for, not feeling too confident in them.... Any ideas would be appreciated Just to summarize... I connected a prescanned SPS2003 to a MOSS 2007 site / web application not being used by anything else. I am unable to see any of the content that should be there with the exception of the site structure, links, sub sites. This was out of the box with no parts or customization. I can see the content in the db... How do I now get his content viewable in the site again. Bad part... There are no backups before the site was upgraded to the MOSS / WSS 30 schema.

    - Corrupted PDF files when dragging and dropping to a mapped drive I have a user who maps drives to his document libraries. Occasionally after dragging and dropping a PDF file into a doc library mapped drive, the file will become corrupted. When users download the file Adobe fails to open the file and says the file is corrupted. However, when the user uploads the same problem files via the SharePoint site upload feature, the file goes up there clean. Mapped drive funcionality is a must for this user as he enjoys the convenience of working from his file explorer and not have to browse through the SharePoint site interface. Does anyone have any idea why dragging and dropping in this manner causes certain PDF files to corrupt? He is currently trying to pinpoint a common factor between the problem PDF's. I will post again if he comes up with anything. Thanks, Alex Tag: Site Columns Name Tag: 99599

    - list item access Hi. I have a Document Library with list item access (permissions set to each item on the DL). If a user sees a Document Library View or a Web Part not filtered by anything (with all items), then that user only sees the documents that he has permission to read =96 this a correct behavior, as I think. If the view has any kind of filter, like items added today, for example, the user sees a list with all documents added today even if he does not have access to read them (if he clicks on a document a message saying that he has no permission shows up). If the user sets an =93alert=94 on that list, he will be informed on any change in any document, even if he doesn=92t access to it (again, if he clicks on the document link, inside the email, a message saying that he doesn=92t have access to the document shows up). Is this the default behavior? Is there anything I can do to change these 2 behaviors? i.e. users only sees in any situation, and is only alerted on documents he has access? Thanks.

I am in need of a couple site columns which already exist. One is
Description which already shows in the Absence and Vacation Schedule
Fields group and the other is Department which shows in the Core
Contact and Calendar Columns.

Can I use these columns, changing their types or is it best to just
create similar columns and leave these alone?

What's the impact on changing these site columns?
