    - Adding Users to Portal Server 2003 I have read through a number of posts regarding automatically adding users to sharepoint without the user existing in the active directory domain. Please can anybody clarify if portal server 2003 can be setup this way or can this only be done with WSS? Also can anybody direct me to anywhere with information on how to setup either to perform this task. Thanks in advance Regards Andy Goddard Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36484

    - HTML WebPart? Has anyone created an HTML web part, similar to those used in the iBuySpy or DotNetNuke portals? I.e. it's a rather simple web part... it is bascially a blank text box that you had your HTML to and then that HTML is displayed on screen. I figure someone has probably already created such a thing, I just need to find it! Sincerely, Todd M. Taylor Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36450

    - Dashboard Error -2147217895 after installed a new workspace Hi there, I installed SharePoint Portal Server 2001 without any problem. I created a workspace called Dispatch and it works fine. However, when I go to the SharePoint Portal Server Administration and try to create a new workspace, I got this error at the end of the installation: "An error occurred while accessing the dashboard. This error may be caused by the proxy server settings for the dashboard. Contact your server administrator. If you are a server administrator, configure the proxy server settings by using the proxycfg utility. Consult the product documentation and the readme for more information about configuring the proxy server settings. Important: You must configure the proxy server settings for the dashboard even if you are not using a proxy server. (1) Object or data matching the name, range, or selection criteria was not found within the scope of this operation." The workspace is created but I was unable to access it from IE. I keep getting this error. We mainly use SharePoint Portal for internal or Intranet purposes. So we don't use Proxy Server. Any suggestion/recommendation? Thanks in advance.

    - Problem Creating a Document Workspace w/ Outlook 2003 On my main computer, when I add an attachment to an email message (like a Word document), a Task Bar automatically pops-up that gives me the option of creating a Document Workspace for the attached document (which is what is supposed to happen.) However, my computer seems to be the only one at our organization that works this way :( For the life of me, I can't figure-out how to install or enable that capability on everyone else's machines. I thought that perhaps something wasn't installed correctly in the Office 2003 installations, but all the computers seem to have the "SharePoint Integration" installed on their machines. Any thoughts? Sincerely, Todd M. Taylor Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36442

    - Moving Top-Level Site From One Server To Another Server I need to move a top-level site : http://caaseta.zeltech.com from one W2K3 server to a new W2K3 server. The database server is the same. I have tried using the SMIGRATE.EXE tool, but it does not seem to work on a top-level site. Then I tried using the SharePoint Backup & Restore. That does not seem to work either. With respect to the SMIGRATE.EXE tool, I get error messages about Access is denied when getting the manifest. I am doing this as the domain admin which also belongs to the local admin group on all servers. However, when I use SMIGRATE.EXE on a sub-site, it works perfectly. Unfortunately, most of the functionality and documents are in the top-level site. Can anyone assist? Thanks.. -Troy Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36440

    - SPS2003 Teamsite question After making a team site on my SPS2003 Portal, I made a sub-website underneath the team site. My question is once I made the sub site, it doesn't really show it any where on the site. You have to really go looking for it. Since I want to allow some users to make sites like this, I am worried that they will have a hard time finding their sites after creation. Has anyone else ran into this problem or handled in some matter? Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36419

    - Where are the SPS 2003 resources? I'm having a hard time rolling out SPS 2003 for our organization simply due to the lack of resources available for it at this time. I have a couple help files (Admin and User) off the MS site along with a couple articles and this forum. Being new to this I'm having a hard time seeing SPS 2003's 'big picture' and I don't see any books coming out for it until May. Is there a resource that I'm missing? I have the trial version of SPS 2003 and am waiting on the real software to come in right now so if anything comes with that I don't have it yet. Would it be advisable to go and get a book on SPS 2001 and use that to help me along or are the changes between the two too different? If I should go get an older versions book any suggestions? Thanks! Mike Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36408

    - Moving files between areas? Hi. What have you been telling your users is the best way to move files between areas. For example, if someone posted a document in the wrong area and now needs to move it to the correct area. Without SP, it's as easy as dragging the file. Use Network Places? Upload the file to new area, then delete it from old area? Use explorer view and cut/copy? Just trying to get a feel for what others are doing. Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36405

    - Searching in SPS2001 and 2003 I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm or contradict the following In SPS 2001 and 2003, out of the box, the search field (Simple Search) does not handle AND/OR operators or wildcards. For both versions, a developer needs to customise the search to include these functions. There is no ready made Web part that I can download from Microsoft or a third-party that will give me this functionality Apologies for repeating stuff that is already on the board, but users don't believe me when I say that this basic functionality is lacking in SharePoint and I need to be sure.

    - Authentication computer name vs. URL I have Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 running on a Windows 2003 rack. We are using windows authentication to verify users are internal, since this is an intranet portal. My problem is that if the user types in http://<machinename>/ the application comes up and recognizes the user. However, we have now assigned a URL to this application for example: http://portal.mycompany.com/. When users try to goto this URL it pops up a box for them to log in as if it was basic authenication. How can I get http://portal.mycompany.com to work like http://<machinename>/ so that the user isn't forced to log into the portal each time but they would be recognized. Please keep in mind, setting client side changes to the browser is not the right answer, such as the advanced setting for "Enable Integrated Windows Authenticated", that has been tried. This needs to be a server side fix so that we don't change settings on the client. Regards, John Wright Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36402

    - Funny problem (not the ha ha type) - please help! I am having a really weird problem with the portal in Sharepoint 2003. I have 2 portal pages created directly under the home portal page (I think you would call them subareas?). So they should have a 'portal name/subarea name/default.aspx' web address but actually they have a 'portal name/whole lot of garbage' web address. I don't know how this was created or how to fix it. I have just noticed if I edit anything (e.g. add webpart) on the home page it gets edited in those 2 subareas also. So I can guess they are linked somehow???? Also I can enter in the web address 'portal name/subarea name/default.aspx' manually and it does go to the same page (but not exactly the same page because if I edit it in frontpage only one page takes the changes). Also another majpr problem is I can't edit the 'garbage' address page in frontpage because I can't enter the address in 'open link' properly. Arggh - this is really frustrating and I don't know if I am describing this well. What I essentially want to do is ahve the top menu and the quicklinks actually go to the 'portal name/subarea name/default.aspx' address and not to the one with a whole lot of numbers and letters in the address. And I also want to be able to edit these main portal pages in frontpage. Any help would be really really appreciated!!! Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36398

    - advanced search in SPS 2003 Hello I have the following problem: the documents on my portal have several custom properties (the "lookup" type - the user chooses one of the avaliable values, previously exported to SPS from an access or excel table). The problem: although the custom document properties are listed in the Site settings -> Manage properties of crawled content -> urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office, when I click any custom (lookup) property I get the information that no documents with that property were uploaded to the portal (which is not true). Hence, I can't conduct an advanced search by that exact property. The other custom properties (type number, text, date etc.) work perfectly. Only the lookup type causes problems. How do I fix that Thanx, Gorjan.............................. Tag: sharepoint based websites Tag: 36396

    - Web Part Connection Filter Hi All, Here's my dilemma; I have two web parts on a page, webpart A and webpart B. Both created in FrontPage 2003 using the dataview tools. They are both connecting to a SQL database view (different ones). Webpart A is connected to webpart B and supplies a value to it to filter the list. The connection works fine. The problem is that when there is nothing at all in webpart A, webpart B will still show the full contents of the database view. Is there any way make that webpart not execute the query if nothing is in webpart A? Or something that will have the same effect. I hope that anyone can help me, I'm kind of stumped at this point.

I am completely frustrated with reoccurring permissions and corruption issues in v1 and fundamental authentication and permissions issues with v2. I am considering going to v2 as I understand it is more stable. (Opinions welcomed) What I really need is a reputable and reliable hosting provider that really knows the product and can support it. Daily backups of the web space AND the database is also essential. I would greatly appreciate some hosting Recommendations.

    - Besides IE, what is a comparable browser or alternative to use with SharePoint? We are trying to use sharepoint with users that would potentially be running different browsers i.e Mozilla, Galeon, Safari, etc. We have experienced quite a bit of compatiblity errors in that some features of sharepoint web parts are requiring IE to work. I would like to be able to get MS's Sharepoint to play well with other browsers (OS independancy is our goal).We have done testing with reader permissions (basics) but are still finding incompatiblities. The reader permissions are all we want the majority of our users to have trying to use sharepoint with other browsers? is this possible? What are the incompatibilities?
