    - User's cannot see or edit assigned items created by admins in a li I create a list and set the item-level permissions for read and edit to "only their own". Use Case: I have a team of 9 and want to use this list to track personal items\tasks. All 9 team members are contributors of the site and list. As the administrator and manager, I create and assign a task for each team member. For example, I created 9 overtime tasks and assigned each one to a team member. When a team member accesses this list my expectation is that they only see the overtime task assigned to them. Instead, they are not seeing any tasks that I created. Am I missing something or is this the defualt behvior of item-level tasks. If anybody knows, please share. Maybe there is a workaround. Tag: web farm setup problem Tag: 74065

The steps they took to create the personal view is, Click on link to Project List Click on Modify settings and columns Click on Create a new view from the Views area Now the quest is how do I as an admin delete this personal view since I don't even see it on the modify settings and columns page because it is her personal view? When I say it is corrupt I mean we can see the view from her machine but when she clicks on it, it gives an error and will not open the page for us to delete it so again how as an admin can I remove the personal view?

    - Logging Out Of Sharepoint I am having an issue where when I open our sharepoint website, it has me logged in as domain\admin, when it really should be domain\user. I've cleared out the cookies, the files (including offline content), history, form autocomplete/passwords. Rebooted and still when I open the site I'm logged in as domain\admin. Yet if I go to another computer and open the site it shows me as domain\user. Where can I go on my computer to log out of sharepoint and then log in as the regular domain\user? Thanks!

    - How getting the users that receive the alert of the news area I need to know which users will receive an alert from the news area when a modify occurs. I have seen inside SharePoint dbs on SQL Server and I have created this SQL query on X_SERV db: Per estrarre gli identificativi di chi Ã¨ iscritto allâ??area notizie, occorre eseguire la seguente query sul db X_SERV: SELECT * FROM sub_UserSubscription a INNER JOIN sub_SubscriptionDetails b ON a.subscriptionId = b.subscriptionId WHERE (b.objectName = 'News') In this way I obtain the user id not user name. I must get it by a query on UserProfile table on X_PROF db. Does exist a method more simple than it to solve this issue? Many thanks Tag: web farm setup problem Tag: 74026

    - Autocomplete Not Positioning Properly in Web Parts Synopsis of Issue: In Internet Explorer 6.0, the autocomplete "popup" does not appear in the correct position if: 1. The input element is contained in an <iframe> 2. The <iframe> is contained in a table 3. The table has a cell above the cell containing the <iframe> Sample: http://www.drowlord.com/professional/webadmin/internet_explorer/issue_001_autocomplete.html Note: This effect can be observed without the use of any style sheets, javascript, XHTML, XML, XSL, etc... This is purely an HTML rendering issue. This issue is particularly obnoxious in the case where I discovered it, as the table cells preceding the iframe have a cumulative effect. In my example, the misplaced autocomplete box is mis-positioned, but fairly close to the input. In the environment where I discovered the issue, the autocomplete box was completely outside of the web browser. Many users in my environment with lower-resolution screens cannot see the autocomplete box at all. Regardless of the degree of inconvenience, my management assured me that the behavior is unacceptable. Solution: Reading around on the web, I find reference to a solution, whereby the iframe is given a style attribute as follows: style='position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;' Unfortunately, the environment where I encountered the issue - Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server - does not allow me to code around the issue. This failure occurred for me using built-in SPS Web Part formatting which I am unable to avoid, short of recoding the "page viewer" and "content editor" webparts. It is not clear to me that recoding these web parts will actually resolve the issue, because of the excessive formatting used in SharePoint Portal Server. Tag: web farm setup problem Tag: 74021

    - Sharepoint Portal Access I have a Sharepoint Portal running in an AD domain and I want to provide default reader access to all registered domain users. I have tested the access with several users, and all can get access ot the default page, but when they try to navigate to other pages, the login screen comes up. If they login with their domain userid and pwd the screen pops up again. After three tries, they can get in! This situation occurs both with a customized portal and a "vanilla" portal with default values. Anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can provide access without the login?

    - SP and SQL Im a newbee to both SP and SQL, can someone advise me what to do. SQL seems to be the chosen something or other for just about everything. But what exactly does it bring to the party?? I can browse/share/append files using windows XP! If I install Server2003, should I install SP or SQL next? Do I point SP at SQL? I have a lot of large files that I want to "present" for viewing and editing. SBS2003 has a limit on oulook data files and others, this prevents me sharing my files as theyre too large. For now Ive simply added a link into SP \\myfileserver\myfiles this brings up explorer and the files, my file server is an XP-Pro box thats simple and works.

    - Cannot Extend Virtual Server Dear All, This might be in the wrong newsgroup as I have WSS not SPS, but I couldn't find a WSS newsgroup. As such, I'm using a MSDE backend instead of SQL 2000/2005. I'm having a problem with attempting to extend a new virtual server for SharePoint. For some reason, when I attempt to extend the server and create a new storage database using the central admin I get the following message: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master' (Error Code: 262) I'm searched and searched for help on this issue to no avail. From what I was able to find it may have something to do with permissions, but I have no clue how to change permissions in MSDE - this is really my only experience with SQL. I do have a freeware program called EMS SQL Manager 2005 Lite to give MSDE a GUI, but without knowing what to do it doesn't help much :) Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Justin Swall Tag: web farm setup problem Tag: 73958

    - Why do I need to append "/default.aspx" ? Is this a Sharepoint or IIS issue ? Win2003 SP1, two Sharepoint front-end serves, NLB, mappings extended accordingly in Sharepoint. If I do: http://portal.mydepartment.company.org I get "page under construction" error. This behavior is sporadic, sometimes it browses OK. Then I append: http://portal.mydepartment.company.org/default.aspx It works all the time. I took one node down at time, the behavior is the same for both nodes. In the "Default Website", I look into "Documents" tab and I see that "default.aspx" is listed there (on the bottom). I then attempted to move the "default.aspx" up. Problem persists. Can someone there explain what could be causing this and how to solve ? I want to type http://portal.mydepartment.company.org only, not append the /default.aspx.

Hi,
I have 2 web serves on the farm running sharepoint.
One of them will have the 4 components, web server, search engine, index and

The other one has only web server component.
However when I go to configure server topology it says
critical issues:
current topology not supported.

Any ideas?

Thanks
