    - personal site regional settings Hi, I am wondering where the regional settings for mysit/personal site get picked up from. We have set the regional settings for both the portal and the sharepoint services servers to uk, but when I create a mysite (also the personal site) for a user the date settings show up in US format. Also is there any way to update existing mysites/personal sites so that the date settings are all uk rather tha US. Thanks Milan Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57328

    - Compile audience error - see KB article 827843 Hi, I'm having a problem compiling audiences. I get the symptoms as described in the KB article 827483 (cut and pasted here for clarity):- BEGIN QUOTE SYMPTOMS When you try to compile an audience, or specify an audience compilation schedule in your portal in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you receive an error message that is similar to one of the following: An error occurred while setting the schedule. Please check below for details. -or- An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator. -or- The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Check that the search service is configured properly and running. Back to the top CAUSE This problem occurs if both of the following conditions exist: .The configuration database administration account information is changed. -and- .This changed account information is not updated to the portal. In this scenario, when you try to compile an audience, or create an audience schedule, you should receive the following error message instead of the error messages that are described in the "Symptoms" section of this article: Scheduler_LogonFailure_Error The user name or password is incorrect. Check the account information for the configuration database administrator account on the Configure Server Farm Account Settings page. Back to the top WORKAROUND To work around this problem, verify the credentials specified for the configuration database administration account. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Start SharePoint Central Administration. 2.Under Server Configuration, click Configure Server Farm Account Settings. 3.In the Configuration Database Administration Account area, click to select the Specify account check box. 4.Enter the user account in the Domain\username format, and then type the password in the Password and Confirm Password boxes. 5.Click OK, and then wait for the changes to be propagated to the portal. Back to the top STATUS Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. END QUOTE I tried to follow the steps outlined in the workaround, but still have the problem - can't compile an audience, and I get the same message (second variant shown in SYMPTOMS above). I note that Step 3 above refers to 'Configuration Database Administration' account, whereas the SPS page I am looking at only refers to :- 'Default Content Access Account' I have tried this using an Active Directory domain account and a local account, both of which are members of the SPS Server's local Administrators group (and should thus have full rights to change any settings for SPS, as I understand it). Can anyone shed any light on why I cannot see this setting to change it? Is it likely that something is corrupted? (I am a relative newbie to SPS, and the initial setup was done by a third party. Hope someone can offer some advice here). Thanks. Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57326

    - Urgent - permissions on areas Hi there I desperately need help. By the use of the object model I created a new area and removed InheritedSecurity. Furthermore I deleted the permissions on the area and then inserted some new permissions. Unfortunately this resulted in that I can't browse my site at all. -- snip -- newArea.InheritSecurity = false; newArea.Update(); PermissionCollection spc = SecurityManager.ManageAreaSecurity(m_context, newArea.ID); if (removeExisting) { for (int i=0; i<spc.Count; i++) { spc.Remove(spc[i].Member); } } newArea.Update(); XmlNodeList listSPMember = members.SelectNodes("/spmember"); IEnumerator ite = listSPMember.GetEnumerator(); while (ite.MoveNext()) { XmlNode n = (XmlNode)ite.Current; // "DOMAIN\\Name" spc.AddUser(n.Attributes["login"].Value, "", n.Attributes["name"].Value, "", ConvertRightsMask(n.Attributes["permission"].Value)); } newArea.Update(); -- snip -- Therefore my question goes: Where do I enter do change the permissons for an Area using the standard Sharepoint functionality, so I'll be able to view my site again. I hope for a soon reply on this. Thanks in regards. Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57322

    - ANN: The new SharePointV3 yahoogroup is open for business As Microsoft quietly begins to the drum beat leading up the release of Windows SharePoint Services "V3" and SharePoint Portal Server "V3", it is a good time to kick off a mailing list for discussions about V3 information that is in the public domain. I suspect that some MS customers and partners are beginning to learn about V3 on an NDA/confidential disclosure basis. This mailing list is *not* for sharing confidential information you receive from Microsoft. Rather, as you see SharePoint V3 snippets in weblogs, news articles and various beta sites that track early Microsoft product developments, plse share a link to those sites by emailing mailto:sharepointv3@yahoogroups.com.

    - Document Quotas Hello! Recently we have run into a problem with the number of documents our users are uploading into a single document library. According to the document "Capacity Planning for Windows SharePoint Services" (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/stsb07.mspx) we should be creating sub-folders in this document library since there are well over 2000 documents in it (about 20,000) all contained in the base folder. Is there a mechanism for quotas on the number of documents in a library? I know we can create quotas based on overall size, but we are interested in quotas on numbers of documents...preferably per folder. I did not find any information on these types of quotas. The crux of the issue is that this interfering with the CommVault backups of our portal. According to CommVault, we need to fix this based on the information contained in the "Capacity Planning for Windows SharePoint Services" document. Any help is most appreciated. -- Take care, Brian Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57292

    - Help! Design tips for a Portal Knowledge Base At the company I work for, our small IT staff is running into the problem that our employees don't have a proper storage space for their documents. They complain that they have documents that are useful outside of their department and would like us to create a designated site/area for these files. This has been an ongoing problem for everyone and to solve it I would like to design a central knowledge base where we can upload, organize, and possibly discuss these docs. We're all n00bs with Sharepoint and are having issues coming up with a good design and structure for this KB. What we would like to have is a tree hierarchy (not unlike a discussion board) that's organized by topic or category. Where users can post articles, comments, start discussions, and upload/attach documents. In addition we'd like for our documents to belong to multiple categories/topics as they are applicable. For example: I have a document on HOW TO use Remote Desktop. That document could fall under the topic: Accessing a Remote Server, but also the topic: Assisting Desktop Users. If I search for "remote desktop" I want that document to show it is a "member" of those topics. Perhaps there's a way to use metadata? At this point, anything is helpful!!

    - errror: Server does not contain Document Management components... Hello, I tried to assign a server name (in SharePoint Portal Server Central Administration > Configure Server Topology) for the "Document Library Server Component (Optional)" I got the error: "Server myserver could not be contacted or does not contain Document Management components. Please verify that the server can be contacted or install Document Management components on the server." The sharepoint is actually installed on the same server that I'm trying to contact. Sherepoint actually had no other problems during configuration or usage or portal on this server. Even I can create documents in the library from my PC. So why do I get the above error when configuring server topology? My understanding is that Document Library component is installed by default and no additional components are needed. On the setup there is two options to add "Server and client components for backward-compatible document libraries" or "client components". I don't need backward compatibility and I have not installed them. Is there something else That I should do?

    - Problems with document collaboration I'm having issues trying to get document collaboration to work within Sharepoint Portal Server. I've created a document workspace on my Sharepoint site and added several documents. When I make a change to the document and then someone else goes in to access the same document from the document workspace the changes are not being reflected dynamically in their browser. Tried the following: 1) Clicking the Get Updates button in the Document Workspace window 2) Per a recommendation in Technet, made sure I have the document update component in Office 2003 installed locally 3) Enabled the relevant selections by clicking the Options button in the Document Workspace window to choose to receive all updates when they occur,etc Is there a Sharepoint permission that relates to seeing these types of updates occur? Also wanted to know if there is a way to see who is actively editing a document in a Document Workspace. In this case I don't mean who the document is checked out to but who actively has the document open since you can edit a document without having it checked out. Sharepoint reflects who is online who has access to the Document Workspace where the document resides but I don't see an option to reflect who are the individuals attempting to make changes to a specific document.

    - Non-alphabetizing/manual ordering of categories/documents? Hi, friends, I've recently been given the task of administering an MS Sharepoint Portal Server (2001), and my boss has already given me an interesting task Categories by default are listed alphabetically, rather than functionally. For example, as a K-12 educational institution, we have the following three main categories: *Elementary *Middle School *High School As a result of auto-alphabetizing, however, the categoreis look like this: *Elementary *High School *Middle School See my issue? The same is true of documents. "Kindergarten" comes after "Elementary," for example. The boss has asked that I avoid "cheesy" solutions (such as using creative filesnames/titles like "1Elementary," "2Middle School," "3High School"). Is there a way to manually order categories/documents? Thanks in advance for your help! Sincerely, Michael W. Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57211

    - Assigning a cross-site group to a site group I want to assign a cross-site group that I've created to Contributor site group. When I went to the Manage Users page and Add User, it only gives me the option of selecting specific users already created. It doesn't allow me to type in usernames, or cross-site groups. How would I go about assigning a group of users to a site group? Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57204

    - Only immediate email alerts for Task lists do not work. Users get confirmation emails for successfully setting up the immediate alerts for TASK lists, but they do not get any immediate email alerts from SharePoint Portal Sever 2003 for any newly created or modified items in task lists. However, â??My Alertâ?? section in their â??My siteâ?? displays all newly discovered or changed items after crawl is completed. Surprisingly, users receive immediate email alerts for all ISSUE lists without any crawling being performed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57202

    - Sharepoint Portal with Non-Sharepoint Websites I'm very new to the Sharepoint products. I've been asked to add a new non-sharepoint website to a server which has sharepoint portal server installed under the IIS6 Default Web Site (which uses TCP port 80). When I try to create a Virtual Directory under the Default Web Site (as I normally would) the directory is created as a Sharepoint directory. When I attempt to access the Login (any) page from the site I get the following message: Unable to connect to database. Check database connection information and make sure the database server is running. I've restarted the SQL Server with no change (I get the same message). The non-sharepoint website works fine when deployed to a non-sharepoint server (but I need to have to hosted on the sharepoint server). I'm not sure how to proceed so... I'm looking for a Sharepoint Architect/Administrator guru to help me understand what's going on. Thanks, Glenn Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57198

    - Administrator Hi, Members of the administrators group for the local SPP server computer are allowed to perform administrative functions for SPPS. In our SPP server, 3 users from the domain admin group are the local administrator of this server. Is there any ways that I can remove their "admin" rights from the SPPS without removing them from the local administrator group of tha server? Please help.

    - Next/Previous Controls for Picture Galleries I have an extensive picture gallery my team is sharing (aroung 1500 records) that return at 100 per page. They are icons for software development. The problem is that the picture library has a "next x records" control at the bottom of each set, but there is no analogous "previous x records" control. Does anyone know how to do this? I cannot have them just use the navigation buttons on their browser, they may have opened a large number of the icons so they would have to navigate a long way before the change of page they are trying to do. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanx! djb Tag: uploading templates to be available to any sites Tag: 57187

I see
I created a site - http://server/sites/forum
I created a discussion there and save it as a template. In frame of this
site I can create any other forums based on this template.

Then from the portal I created another site http://server/sites/test1 and
CAN'T see this template.

Where should I save it to be available for all sites ???? I think it must be
on the portal level.
