    - Info - WSS FAQ site additions and changes 28th June - 6th July 2004 (Complete disaster - now notices that OE puts this in the wrong thread if given the wrong (old) name.

    - Problem with command line Hello All I have an existing intranet and am trying to follow the instructions in setting up intranet/extranet. Using the http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/stsc04.mspx link Everything goes ok until I get to the point where I have to type in the following: c:\folder\setupsts.exe remotesql=yes to install SharePoint on the extranet virtual server (I used STSV2.exe and it intalled the files to the correct location) - One thing to note is that my original installation is older than the download from MicroSoft site. The new download, says that it will upgrade the installation but nothing seems to happen. I then reinstalled my older version, which works but with out the remotesql=yes bit. Any ideas, before I pull ALL my hair out! thanks Jackie Tag: About migrating WSS security problem Tag: 13410

    - WSS to WSS Migration Issue I am doing a migration of a WSS Site from one server to another (two physical servers). I used the smigrate to backup to the .fwp file, worked fine. When I did a restore the users that were part of the original site were no on the new server/site, the content restored fine. The users were not local but part of a domain. Also I used smigrate to successfully migrate other site, these were how STS sites not WSS sites. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance... /Pj Tag: About migrating WSS security problem Tag: 13406

    - SharePoint on a Domain Controller Hi There, I've been struggling trying to install WSS on one of our servers, a Domain Controller. I get so far in the installation and it stops. In the Event Viewer I see the error 11708 - stating : Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Installation operation failed. The only difference between this server and the others I have successfully installed on is that this server is a Domain Controller. I read that it is possible to install WSS on a DC, so I'm not sure what the issue is. If anyone has any input into this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

    - smigrate fails with error:The language is not supported on the server Hello all, a customer wants us to do the hosting of his sharepoint site. He sent us the site backup file (using stsadm.exe) but the restore was not possible because our sps is setup in active directory account creation mode. Then, he sent us the backup files (.fwp) using smigrate.exe. When we try to restore we get an error: The language is not supported on the server. We have setup the english version of sharepoint services and applied the language template pack for greek. Could this error occur because he has installed the greek version of sharepoint services in his organixation? Is there a workaround other than reinstalling the greek sharepoint version?

    - Metainfo Frontpage RPC putdocument Hi There, I'm building a batch import program for documents to Sharepoint. I've been to TechEd A'dam 2004 and there they said for these kind of tasks you have to use the Frontpage RPC. This seems to work, but i also have custom fields in the document library. I can fill them using the metaInfo option. This is my commandline: fpsepublish putdoc "http://server/document library/document.tif" "c:\temp\document.tif" "Category;SW|A;Name;SW|Test;Title;SW|Testing;Description;SW|Testing 123" The documents gets added to the library, but not all of the custom fields are filled. I've tried several things and only the fields "Category" and "Title" get filed. Isn't this strange? What am i doing wrong??? I really need to get this work, so i hope you have some info! The code of the MS example project: public void PutDocument(string uri, string fileName, string metaInfo) { Uri myUri = new Uri(uri); string webUrl, fileUrl; UrlToWebUrl(uri, out webUrl, out fileUrl); if (null == metaInfo) metaInfo = ""; if (!File.Exists(fileName)) throw new Exception("Could not find file" + fileName); string postBody = String.Format( "method=put+document&service_name=&document=[document_name={0};meta_info=[{1 }]]&put_option=overwrite&comment=&keep_checked_out=false\n", HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fileUrl), metaInfo); ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding(); MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); stream.Write(encoding.GetBytes(postBody), 0, postBody.Length); FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(fileName); byte[] b = new byte[4096]; while (fs.Read(b, 0, b.Length) > 0) { stream.Write(b, 0, b.Length); } fs.Close(); SendRequest(myUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + webUrl + "/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll", stream.GetBuffer(), stream.Length); stream.Close(); } Hope to hear from you guys soon!

    - Broken links after site move or rename I create a site called www.myserver.com/collection1/level1, under which I create a sub-site called level2 and create a link to it on the opening page of level1. First off, I use STSADM to rename level2 to sublevel2. Navigating through Manage sites and worksplaces is fine but the link is broken as it still refers to level1/level2. Now I backup collection1 and restore it as collection2 and ALL of the links are broken. I use FrontPage 2003 to search for references so that I can repair the brokenv links but I can't find them and/or I an not suffciently expert on FP2003 to undertake the work. As I am about to do this for real on 2 BIG site collections, anyone got any advice of the mass correction of such broken links? Tim T. Tag: About migrating WSS security problem Tag: 13395

    - Is the "Project Server" smigrate the same as the normal one ? MS list two new downloads for Project Server - one is "Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Migration Tool" (i.e. smigrate) dated 29th June 2004. There's also the "Project Server 2003: Windows SharePoint Services Site Migration Tool" with the same date. 1. What's the difference 2. Is the first one (smigrate) a new version of smigrate that non-Project Server but WSS users can use OR the old smigrate with a new date and the words "Project Server" added a few times to the text to make it "theirs" ? This message is naturally for someone with better contacts in MS than I (or in MS themselves) ! P.S. There already was a "Project Server 2003: Windows SharePoint Services Site Migration Tool" with the same address but with a different date. Both are called ver 1.0 - are they the same ?????

The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.

    - WSS vs SAP EP Collaboration Hi, I have been doing a comparative analysis of WSS and SAP Enterprise Portal's Collaboration module. I still have a few things unclear. Here's the list: 1. SharePoint sites can become unmanageable as they grow in number. Without the SharePoint Portal, it is cumbersome to manage the disconnected islands that are created. Is this true? 2. WSS lacks in document management capability comapred to SAP. Especially, WSS does not have a strong versioning functionality. I don't know the specifics regarding this statement, just quoting what I read. Is this a valid statement? 3. Searching in WSS is limited to site level. If I need to search across sites, I need the SharePoint Portal. Is this true? 4. And lastly, if you know how well (or otherwise) SAP integrates with MS Office and Windows Instant Messenger, please let me know. Any help on this will be deeply appreciated.

Search for the file using this dialog box. (defaultsavelocation=0_47=http://sharepoi)" The cut-off at "sharepoi" makes it difficult to debug. Apparently I am missing template.doc or something.

    - Struggling with DWTs I want to create a series of pages with identical navigation areas across the top & down the left hand side. Ideal use for DWTs, I thought. So I took the default.aspx page, edited it to strip out the bits I didn't want in the template, defined the editable regions & saved the dwt. I then created a new .aspx page & attached the previously created dwt file. Where there should be some WSS bits like the link to the portal, the Modify Shared Page menu, etc, I'm getting errors like: WebPartPages:SettingsLink - the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SettingsLink class does not derive from the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart class and therefore cannot be imported or used in a WebPartZone control.

Furthermore, why even let them access the pages for those actions. To most people it appears as if they are able to do things they shouldn't. Forutnately, people are denied access once they try to finalize their action.</rant> Microsoft, please fix this "feature" or tell us how to. Tag: About migrating WSS security problem Tag: 13235

    - Listing only documents created by people in your groups Is this possible using a document library? I want to have a shared document library linked in the home page of my Intranet. Whenever a user access this library only his documents or the ones created by people that share a group with the user should be visible.

    - Duplicate user when assigning a task Hi. We are running a Sharepoint Services 2.0 at work and when you go to assign a task some users are appearing twice. When you go to site administration they only appear once. This causes an issue because if you select the wrong entry the automatic email notification does not work.

    - Moving WSS2.0 to Another Server I need to move my Windows SharePoint Services from one server to another (the second having a bigger hard drive). I would just burn an image, but management has decided that the name of the link needs to be changed (the server is, let's say, \\SHAREPOINT\XYZCOMPANY; it needs to be \\SHARE\NEWCOMPANY). Both of these servers are already running Windows 2003 Server. Can anyone let me know a sure-fire way to do this? I've tried two things: (1) Using the SMIGRATE utility, which seems to be only for STS1.0. (2) Trying the steps in Microsoft's knowledge base article number 825536, which I thought would work, but for some reason, in FrontPage 2003, the option of Tools - Server is grayed out. Thanks in advance for your helpfulness... Tag: About migrating WSS security problem Tag: 13212

    - Prompted for Credentials I've got a top level site with the people added. No problem. My WSS server is in an NT 4.0 domain that fully trusts the CORP domain. A few people, even when logged into the CORP domain and added to the site, keep getting prompted for credentials. I even had them logon to my workstation. Prompted over and over. I logged on. No problem. Is this a WSS problem or maybe where their account is located in AD and how that type of trust authentication works? Deleting them from the site and re-adding them does nothing.

Check into the stsadmin. I have a similar issue , I am
using smigrate content went fine, but permissions didn't.
I am going to look into the pros & cons of stsadmin.
