Quick statement of problem:
Today, I logged into the SPPS server box as HollisD, browsed to the
portal, click the MySite button, and a personal site for HollisD is
created. All seems good. I go back to my HollisD workstation, browse
to the portal, click the MySite button, and get taken to the HBeta
personal MySite. All is not good. Where is this MySite vector
controlled and how can it be reset to operate so that each client
account gets sent to its proper personal site?
See below for details.
After I turned on the MySite capability of the portal, in the Admin
pages, I exited the Admin pages, opened the browser, and went to the
portal. This was while I was logged onto the desktop of the SPPS2003
server box as Administrator, using the domain Administrator account.
Once in the portal, I clicked the MySite button, and it created a
MySite with the name Administrator on the page. I exited the portal.
All was well and good in the world.
I then walked to my HBeta client computer, called up the browser (IE6)
and browsed to the portal site, clicked MySite, and it created a MySite
for HBeta. Somewhere in that process a dialog box appeared asking if I
wanted to set this site as the default MySite. Not knowing what that
was about, and trusting the SPPS designers to know what they were doing
and wouldn't really let anything bad happen, I said yes. The site was
there, I added my picture to the profile, and all was good.
I walked to my other client workstation, the HollisD computer, and
attempted to do the same thing. Alas, when I clicked on the MySite
button, it takes me to the HBeta personal site. How is that happening?
I asked in the managed MSDN newsgroup, and Wei-Dong XU had no idea.
All is not good.
