allow all users accessing the portal to create a workspace...
We created a portal based on Sharepoint Portal Server. We also have WSS
installed. We need to allow all users accessing the portal to create a
workspace which will be used as a collaboration space to share documents
etc. Since all our users on the portal are readers, they cannot create
workspaces. Is there a way to be able to solve this problem? And is there
any webpart which shows, for the currently logged in user, only the
workspaces he is member of ?

Index Exchange Public Folder
Hello, I am encountering this issue when i come to try and index my
organisations public folder.
"Hierarchical content sources such as those in the file system cannot be
nested."
What does this mean and how can i get around indexing folders and
subfolders? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Portal Area - Group Bug
I hope to suggest that Group field is available for user to choose when
submitting to Areas other than Home.
Currently, I created a few Groups, for eg, "Admin", "HR" under new Forms
area.
However, when i try "Submit to Portal Area", the Group drop down list box
automaticall disappears. It will be sumitted to "General" and I have to go
to area to re-orgnanise the listings.
This problem does not happen if i submit to portal area "Home".
Thanks,

do file shares get indexed
I run a small sharepoint trial in a testenvironment on a single server.
People don't manage their files, files are redundant all over the company so
a lot of our content is hard to find.
So I want to use Sharepoint for filesharing (not all files, a selection will
be made). If I use the webpart that points out to a share \\servername\files
do all those (Msoffice) files get indexed? Tag: setting screen resolution in sharepoint Tag: 61147
SPS intregration with AD
Hi All
I Have to change the Default.aspx page and add two new webparts. I dunno how
to do that. Also at the same time I dont want to you "MySite" feature to make
a new portal. Is there a way in which I can edit the Default.aspx page, if
yes - how do I edit it.
Another problem that I'm facing is deleting accounts from SPP. I've
intregrated SPP users with AD. The moment I remove a name from AD, it does
not reflect in SharePoint. Also I cant delete the account from SPP if it is
deleted in AD. I can only delete the account when I "Disable" the User in AD.
This is creating a lot of mess, as I have people who have left the
organization but still are a part of the AD, just because of SharePoint.
Can anyone help me with this.

URL Display (Mapping or Indexing)
Question 1: We created a department site under sites namely: RandD
URL for this site is : http://<Server Name>/Sites/RandD/default.aspx
Istead of displaying this path or location of RandD site we would like to
display this as:
http://RandD.<Server Name>/default.aspx (OR)
http://<Server Name>.RandD/default.aspx (OR)
http://RandD/default.aspx (OR)
Minimum Display of contents in URL without the actual navigation path.
Question 2: If browser settings are changed to
IE->Tools->Internet Options->Security->Local Intranet->Custom Level->
User Authentication->Automatic Logon Only in Intranet Zone-> OK.
If this is selected User is able to goto all the sites without authentication
and is able to access information. How to prevent this to happen?
I very badly need solutions for the above two questions.
Any Ideas! Please Help

Hi,

2. Which Onet.xml file is used by my portal site (the one and only, vanilla
portal I created right after installing)? Is it the onet.xml stored in
...\template\1033\sps\xml? ...\template\1033\sts\xml?

b) Edit/reformat the links in the banner area up top ("Home" "Documents and

WSS not installed on virtual server, but still running SPS and WSS
Hi, I have quite a strange problem. We have a server with SPS 2003 and SP1
installed. We have created a portal as well as a bunch of wss sites. It has
run without problems for a couple of months, but recently I wanted to
adminster the virtual server settings.
I clicked the Site settings link on the portal, then Go to SPS Central Admin
> Windows Sharepoint Services > Configure virtual server settings. Here I get
a list of all virtual servers and the installed versions of WSS, and the
strange thing is that it says Not installed on all virtual servers! So I
can't configure the vs but I know it is installed (because I installed it)
and we are running SPS and WSS on that box, without other problems.
Does someone have an explanation to what could have caused this and/or how
to fix it? Tag: setting screen resolution in sharepoint Tag: 61065
Metadata missing after drag and drop
I have configured picture libraries in 2 WSS sub-sites on different servers.
The libraries have a custom column with a choice of values. The default is a
calculated value (basically assigning a text value which is not in the choice
list).
The client machine is running Office 2000.
When uploading a number of files via copy and paste in the Explorer view,
the default value for the custom column is set in one of the lbraries but not
in the other.
Both libraries are hosted on Windows 2003 Server, one was created by Project
server as a Project site, the other through Sharepoint Portal Server site
creation.
I know there are issues with Explorer view and Office 2000 but why might the
upload work differently on the 2 libraries?

content but am trying to specify certain indexes that have specific URLs.
For example, I have set up an Index that searches
http://bhintranet:83/sites/IT/*.* but the crawl does not return anything? I
have various doc. libraries in there and a discussion forum but the crawl
doesn't seem to come back with anything?

newbie: Forms not showing after publish from Infopath
Dear all,
I am a newbie so please excuse me if I appear dumb...
I have design a form in Infopath with default settings for the submit
button etc.
I have a single datasource which is a text line bound to a control.
I publish the form using the "create new site" option.
In my Sharepoint site, under Documents and Lists I can see the new
site. When I go to the site and look at modify columns and settings,
the template is set to (what I presume is) my new document.
When I click the Fill out this form button, the form opens and clicking
Submit says this form has been submitted ok, BUT NO FORM ENTRY IS
LISTED.
Am I misunderstanding the way that forms should be used? I thought each
time I hit "fill in this form", I would get a new entry in the list
after hitting submit; thus if this was a Service Request Form (for a
broken lightbulb or something), there would be a list of the forms
currently outstanding.
I really, think I am misunderstanding the use of forms and bound data.
I assumed that sharepoint would create working tables to store the
bound data. Correct?
Why do I not get a new entry each time I hit submit (or, in my case,
never)?
To help you wizards answer this, here is a description of my setup: -
Development machine - Win XP Pro, Office 2003, Infopath 2003.
Sharepoint server - Windows Server 2003 and latest Sharepoint with all
patches applied.
To add to (my) confusion if I upload the file, the form seems to appear
but unless I choose to update xml AFTER I have submitted the form, then
the on-screen value of my text column does not alter.
Doh, help, please ...

Basic Architectural Question- Deployment Planning
Just need a a little help. We are at the end of out budget year and are
buying SharePoint. Money just came up and dont have much time to research.
I have an idea of how we would deploy and were looking for suggestions and
opinions. Here goes.
We are a company of about 350 employees. We have 6 offices. Users MUST be
able to get to their files (Or the better part of their files if the lines go
down)
I am thinking that we deploy a sharepoint server and SQL in each of the the
offices. That way users would always be able to get local accesss to their
files. Finally I am thinking that we should be able to setup collaboration
between the sharepoint servers in each of our offices in order to support
collaboration among offices.
Is this a good way to go? Is there a better senario? Am I missing something
entirely? I appologize for the lack of info on my part, I just need some
quick info. Tag: setting screen resolution in sharepoint Tag: 60993
Using ADAM with SPS
We're developing a new SPS project as a central point-of-contact for
the KM/DM + for our Firm. Being new to SPS/WSS we're thinking that it
would be great to use AD for our authentication, and white pages, and
use the more flexible/isolated ADAM schema approach for defining roles
for Authorization, Audiences and Security Groups (We really don't want
to modify the AD schema - especially during
planning/development/prototyping).
Unfortunately, from what I've read, SPS 2003 is not able to integrate
with ADAM.
Can anyone tell me if this integration issue is addressed in Windows
Server 2003 (R2)??? If so - I'll download and install the R2 Beta and
hope that Microsoft can deliver the RC be year-end 2005; otherwise
we're going to need to rethink our path forward on the project.

Sharepoint and NTLM authentication problem
Hi,
We have an SPS 2003 server with a number of portals configured with a single
parent and a number of child portals. All of the workstations I use are set
up with Win XP and have *.company.com in the trusted sites zone.
With several of my workstations I can log into all portals with no problem.
However, with other workstations I get the dreaded credentials dialog for
login and password. I've verified that the IE settings are the same for all
workstations, cleared the cookies and cache but still can't get to some
sites without entering credentials. What is perplexing is that some portals
work while others don't from the same workstation. I would think that if NTLM
wasn't working it would fail for all portals.
