    - msdmback I am currently having a problem where the msdmback utility does not complete. The progress dialog remains on the screen. This is causing a major headache at the moment as this is happeining on a live production server. When I click on the Abort button and try to run the backup again it says that a backup is already running and I need to restart in order to restart a new backup. Any help at all would be appreciated!

    - Connection with Active Directory Hi all I think I have a problem with my SPS and its connection to the Active Directory. When I go to profile management and try to import users from Active Directory, I get an error message saying something like "Can't retrieve current domain name from the Active Directory service" (I don't know exactly what's the message in English, got the Spanish version installed). Is there somewhere where I can configure something about the connection with AD? The domain controller that has AD doesn't have the DNS service installed. Can that be related to my problem?

    - REPOST Change Navigation bar items Hi, Is it possible to change the contents of Top navigation bar ? By creating a new site (for the first time in my life) I see that the navigation bar has the following items: -Home -Documents and lists -Create -Site settings -Help I want to add and delete some items here, but I don't know how ? In the help-file I read something like: 1. On the title bar of the portal site, click Site Settings. 2. In the Manage Portal Content section, click Manage Portal Site Structure. If I look at the Site Settings I do not see a topic called "Manage Portal Content" !!! What should I do ??? I had also some comments that I could change the site itself with Frontpage. But 2 questions here: 1. What site is that Navigation bar on ? 2. Is it possible to change those sites ? Is it not so that the sites are stored in the SQL Server database ? If that is the case, how can I change it ? Many thanks Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33944

    - Maximum upload size Greets all. I've been trying to upload a rather "large" file into SharePoint into the main portal's document library. Below is the error that I got: The form submission cannot be processed because it exceeded the maximum length allowed by the Web administrator. Please resubmit the form with less data. In response to that error, I increased <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" /> in web.config to 5120000. Yet it still gave me the same error. Is there an absolute maximum to this? Have I exceeded the absolute maximum? Or have I not done the right thing to resolve the error? Thanks in advance. Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33939

    - Sharepoint 2001 fails to be installed on Windows Server 2003 I just purchased a Action Pack from Microsoft and found Sharepoint Server 2001 can not be installed on Windows Server 2003.

But it only comes with Windows 2003 for OS which does not support Sharepoint. Any helps to get Sharepoint Server to installed will be appreciated. Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33934

    - How do I add a web part to a page in code? I have a list of applications (Applications) in which each item in the list is an application. (duh!) My employer wants to be able to add issues to the Issues list for the application from the application's Add/Edit screen. It seems to me, that the best way to do this, would be to edit the EditForm.aspx file for the Applications list in the document library to add the Issues web part to it. How would I go about adding the Issues web part to the Application's edit page, or is there a better way of doing this? Eric Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33919

    - Meeting Workspace - remove dates section Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to solve my problem. I've created a meeting workspace for a reoccurring event, but the people who go to the events change. I want to make sure that all of the people see the same information. On the meeting workspace, I've created all of the web parts and pages as series items. However, on the left hand side of the page, the users can scroll through the different dates of events. When the user first gets to this meeting workspace, that section actually takes up half of the page. Is there a way to get rid of this? Thanks. Jackie Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33916

    - Searching Large External File Indexes We decided to try indexing our departmental share, and home drives on Sharepoint. We have 4 content sources using one index (Non_Portal_Content), devided up into four search scopes. There is a total of 600,000 documents in the non_portal_content index. The search scope that defines our home folders(there is about 1200 home folders indexed here, containing 250,000 files) is sometimes slow depending on the word you search for. Searching for the word "plan" results in about a 1-3 minute wait, sometimes even resulting in a time-out error message. Searching for other phrases such as "schedule" or "sharepoint" or other things that are contained in my home folder results in a very quick search result, even though the number of results returned is similar to the slower searches. Is there any reason why some searches take longer than others even though the number of search results is about the same? Is sharepoint searching through documents that I do not have access to? I know it will not display documents I do not have access to, but will the search engine also know not to search these documents? Thanks Bryan Tag: msdmback problem Tag: 33896

    - Searching Sites from an Area I have a WSS Site, say it's called Football, linked to an SPS Area (version 2)called Sports. If I place files into the Football site, shouldn't I be able to search and find it if I'm searching from the Sports area? It's not working and I'm not sure why. Did I do something wrong when I set up the Search Scope. It seems pretty easy, I just selected the Content Source Group that I thought would encompass the Sites directory, have tried reindexing, etc. Any thoughts?

    - Internal server error when entering site home page Hi all I've installed SPS2003 without problem and I've created my first site also smoothly. I've added to this site two users besides the owner-administrator of the site so I can check differences between readers/contributors/administrators and so on... Everythings seems to work ok with the owner user, but when I try to enter the site with any of the other two, the server just gives a 500 Internal Server Error. Nothing shows on the event browser and I can't find anything useful in the logs folder, so I don't even know what else to check... The other two users are both in the Active Directory but I didn't import them directly... Could that be related to this error? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... --- F.X.

    - Site Directory & reference cleanup I'm finding that, when Team Sites are deleted, references to the sites are not being completely "cleaned out". For example, if a user creates a site - then realizes that they've made mistakes or doesn't need the site & deletes it - the site still appears in the "Newest Sites" listing for days after it's gone. (Not sure if it stays permanently - I've only been watching this behavior for a little over a week since SSSC has been allowed.)

Just tried it and it didn't work in first try: Configured dmz in pix515, placed sharepoint portal 2003 in dmz, had everything worked fine (internal/external resolution and initial load of homesite in browser from both outside and inside). pix actually configured (for test) completely open toward LAN. BUT: webparts - for instance Calendar and Inbox - didn't load in browser when outside. Inside OK. We could of course publish OWA as external ressource but we cannot publish everything (like ftp to certain internal servers).

Hi,
I am currently having problems with the SharePoint msdmback utility on
a Windwos 2000 Advanced Server machine with Sharepoint Portal Server
2000 SP2a installed. The problem is that the Backup never completes.
It gets to a certain point but will not go any further. I have even
let it run overnight and still no progression. I have seen similar
posts on this matter but I haven't seen any resolutions.
I would appreciate any help at all. It is actually a live production
server and it is causing me a major headache at the moment.

Thanks in advance,
G
