Email alerts
I am using sharepoint services with SBS 2003. I have alerts set up on the IT
Help Desk to alert me when anyone creates a new item. I then receive an email
which does not have anything in the from address, this makes my anti-spam
software think it may be spam. Is there any way to get the alerts to be sent
with something in the from field so I can tell my anti-spam software to
ignore it?
Thanks in advance!

Help! Master schedules
Hello,
Has anyone found a way to create a Master schedule from 2 MS Project
schedules stored in a SharePoint document library?
Our initial plan was to use Project Server, but we stepped back because of
several issues (no notification to other PMs, bugs in cross-project
dependencies, etc.).
Currently our only solution is to move back to a standard Windows folder,
which is somewhat frustrating. And using a Windows folder Web part is not
satisfying either (no notifications, etc.).
Thanks for your help! Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40341
WSS account - error in SQL - STP export/import
I have a brand new server with Windows 2003 SP1, WSS 2.0 SP2, and SQL 2005
Enterprise.
I created a new site and migrating contents from an older server (I am
exporting my templates .STP files from old server and importing into new
server) - SQL 2000 by hand - create new site and copy by hand the pics and
docs to new server / site.
Now, I am getting 2 errors - one after the other continously.
First error is Event ID 18456 Source MSSQLSERVER - Login failed for user
DOMAIN\WSSAccountused
Second error is Event ID 1000 Source Windows Sharepoint Services - Unable to
connect to ClientDB on ServerOld.
Since this is a NEW Server I do not undertand how it is looking for ClientDB
on old server when it is on the NEW Server which doesn't even have that
database. Only 2 DB exist on my new server - New WSS Config DB and New
Content DB.
Can someone tell me how to remove this reference? I am thinking the
reference lies in the exported STP files from the old server. Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40340
Discussion Threaded View
Hello:
I see that the threaded view is an option once entering the discussion

Office documents are read-only
I have a question.
We have Office 2000 upgraded to Office 2003 (Windows 2000 workstations SP4),
bypassing Office XP upgrade altogether. We are deploying SharePoint. Now the
problem I am running into is when users trying to go to the SharePoint site
and attempt to edit an Office document, the drop down to "Edit in Microsoft
"app"" is not available. This is happening to workstations that had an in
place upgrade of Office from 2000 to 2003. But if the workstation is reimaged
and gets a full install of Office 2003 , it works fine. I am just exploring
various scenarios to get this resolved as I do not want to re-image 200
workstations.
Any thoughts.....ideas. thanks Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40335
How does a person posting an issue know when it's done?
We have an issue list set up in WSS 2 (SP2) to track IT issues. After
the user posts an issue the admins get a notification of the new

the issue is completed the person posting the request doesn't get a
notification.
How does the requestor know that the issue has been resolved?

File override in document libraries
Is there a way to prevent users from overriding files that already
exist in a document library?
I want my users to be able to upload new files to a document library
but, if the library already contains a file with that name, I do not
want the users to be able to override (delete) them. The default
behaviour (with versioning turned off) of WSS is to override the
existing file without any warning. This is a very simple request (it
exists in any file system) and I'm surprised that it is not implemented
by default in WSS.
Is there any way to prevent this behaviour or at least to make WSS
generate a warning message asking if the user wants to override the
file ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Calendar view events not displayed issue
Hi
We are seeing the issue described below in a previous post. Does anyone know
if this has been fixed and if so how? Apparently is was reported to MS as a
bug.
Thanks
Mike
"I have two calendar lists that are being displayed in calendar view on a Web
Part Page. Both calendars are populated with several events.
When the Web Part Page is loaded, the calendar view defaults to the current
month. For example, the current date is March 3, 2005, so both calendar
views default to display the month of March.
When I click the "<" and ">" on one of the calendar view, the page refreshes
to load a new month for both calendars views. For example, with the above
case, if I click "<", the month of Februray will load. If I click ">", the
month of April will load.
Now here is the weird part. When the page reloads to display a new month,
events that should appear do not show up at all for ONE of the calendar
views. In other words, If "February" is being viewed, one of the calendar
views will be empty, even though I know events have been entered for the
month of February. The other calendar view works as intended... with its
events being displayed when the month changes.
When I remove the calendar that is working as intended from the Web Part
page, the calendar with the event rendering problem is able to display all
events as intended, regardless of what month is shown. When I re-add the
calendar that was removed earlier, the calendar view that was fixed just a
second ago exhibits the event rendering problems again.
When I view these calendar views on their own page (for eg.
http://server/sites/SiteName/Lists/Calendar/Calendar.aspx), both calendar
views display all events as intended regardless of which month is being
displayed.
When both calendar web parts are displayed on the same Web Part page, but
are not in calendar view, they both display events as intended.
Any ideas on what is happening here? This looks like a SharePoint bug." Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40308
Custom Paging in DataView web part connected to Stored procedure.
Hi.
I have the following scenario in sharepoint development. I need some help in
resolving the issue.
Scenario : There is a filter control(set of drop downs and textboxs . Ex
"FirstName" "Equals" "Sam") implemented in form web part. These drop downs
are directly bound to parameters of the stored procedure of dataview webpart
using the webpart connection.
I want to enable the custom Paging on the DataView webpart connected to the
stored procedure. The Paging technique is implemented in the stored
procedure.
one additional parameter is passed to the stored procedure as
Location="Form(__EVENTARGUMENT)"
Because when the user clicks on Next or Start button from DVWP, the event is
fired and the below value is received as parameter to the SP. Here RowLimit
is additional data added by me for the click of Next in DVWP.
"dvt_firstrow={4};StartPosition={};RowLimit={3}".
the dvt_firstrow and RowLimit is used in the stored procedure to implement
the paging.
In ideal condition I am able to navigate from one page to another.
There are two issues involved in this method.
1. After navigating to second page if we change the filter condition and
click on Find, same old row numbers are displayed below the data grid in
DVWP. The row number does not get reset.
2. Is it possible to find which is the last page in this method. I am unable
to distinguish the last or intermediate page as the paging is implemented in
stored procedure.
Can I pass any out parameter from the stored procedure to the xslt variables
declared within the DVWP?
Thanks in Advance

Setting user unique default view in same list
We have a WSS list that has a number of views.
Basically, it lists our companies job tasks, assigned to individual users,
with a specific field "Assigned to" being a lookup against the WSS site
members.
The default view on the list is filtered to show jobs assigned to the user
logged in i.e. 'Assigned to [me]'. We have a number of rooms where the tasks
are shared between the occupants of the room. I have set up views for the
individual rooms, basically filtering the tasks by the rooms occupant i.e.
if Room A has User1 and User2 in it, the filter is something like Show
'Assigned to [User1] OR Assigned to [User2]' etc.
What I now would like to do is have a different default view for each room.
I.e. User1 and User2 are in RoomA, User3 and User4 are in RoomB, Users 1 and
2 need only to see those tasks assigned to any user in Room A, and Users 3
and 4 need only to see those tasks assigned to any user in Room B - User1
and User2 have RoomA as their Default View, User3 and User4 have RoomB as
their Default View.
Can it be done?

strange problem with calculated field in issues list
Hello, Happy New Years!
I have an issues list where I've created a calculated field called 'Close
Date'. Here is the formula I created for it:
=IF(AND(Status="Closed",CloseDateOG=""),Modified,IF(AND(Status="Closed",CloseDateOG<>""),CloseDateOG,""))
The way it works is, if a user closes an issue by setting the 'Status' field
to 'Closed', the 'Close Date' field is filled in with the 'Modified' date.
'CloseDateOG' is text field where users used to be allowed to manually fill
in the 'Close Date' which led to dishonest closed dates, which is why I
changed it.
The problem I have is unpredictable. Today I looked at the list and the
'Close Date' field was showing values of '12/30/1899'. When I looked at the
actual formula of the field it was set to '=12/25/2005'. This is the second
time this has happened. Has anyone seen this behavior? Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40285

Survey Response Issues
Hi, I'm having a strange issue with permissions on a WSS survey. It is set
with anonymous access for Add & View. It also has item-level permissions set
for "Only their Own" for both read and edit access, and users are only
allowed to respond once. However, SOME users (its sporadic) can respond more
than once (these are readers with anonymous access only), and even though I
have item-level security set for only their own, they can see the other
responses. These users have read access only. Why does it seem to work
correctly sometimes, and not others? Do I have something setup in the
permissions wrong? I appreciate any help you can give on this topic! Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40279
Web Discussion alerts no longer working for htm web pages
We upgraded to WSS 2.0 and can no longer subscribe to htm pages (or site
folders). It appears we can only "subscribe" to documents and SharePoint
specific web pages (lists, discussion boards...). While the documentation
says alerts didn't change the subscription feature much, this appears to be
far from actuality.
Prior to upgrading to WSS v2.0, we were using the subscription feature for
review htm pages (which were part of a help file). We were able to subscribe
to the overall folder that held the very large help file and get notified
when any discussion were added on any topic. This was an extermely useful way
to review help files. Previously the help would be converted to word docs
that were hundreds of pages long (each topic being a page or more). Not
something we want to regress back to.
We can still do web discussions on this content, but we can't tell what
recently changed. The "manage web discussions" option can show you what has
discussions within a given folder (so we know what help topics have
discussions), but we can't tell which are recent. Subscriptions allowed us to
know exactly what recently changed.
Questions:
Is there anyway to get alerts to work the way subscriptions used to for web
discussions?
Specifically, is there some way to be alerted when discussions are
added/changed for a location like
"http://sharepointserver_site/Online_SDKs/ProductName_SDK_1-8/", which
contains pages like:
http://sharepointserver_site/Online_SDKs/ProductName_SDK_1-8/About_this_SDK.htm;
http://sharepointserver_site/Online_SDKs/ProductName_SDK_1-8/How_activate.htm
;
http://sharepointserver_site/Online_SDKs/ProductName_SDK_1-8/Activation_types.htm
If there isn't a way to do this anymore, then is there some way to do a web
discussion on a chm file (which we have been unable to do, which is why we
went with the htm method discribed above)?
Failing the ability to do the above options, is there any other way to get
this to work and still use Sharepoint (per web discussion help, the
subscription method would still work if we did not use Sharepoint)?
Thanks for any help! The method described above for reviewing help documents
was just about to be adopted by most of the software divisions in our
company. The group I am in had been using the above method for well over a
year. We were finally getting this to become the company standard methodology
when it broke with the upgrade... Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40278

Sharepoint migration question
I am trying to migrate sharepoint from one server to another, as we want to
use the new server exclusively for sharepoint. The problem is that when I
run the backup.fwp file on the new server through smigrate.exe it doesn't do
anything except open and then close a few seconds later. However, if I run
it on the older server it works fine. I am thinking this is because the new
server does not have frontpage installed on it, and the .fwp on the backup
file is a frontpage extension. Can anyone verify that this is the reason I
am having the problem, and if so how can I solve the problem without having
to purchase frontpage for the new server? If this is not the problem, what
is? Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions. Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40274

Metadata wiped out in web properties of Office documents
The deleted metadata probably cannot be retrived so this is more of a warning.
I had a column with a drop-drown list modified in the "Modify Settings and
Columns>Choice>Drop-down" manner. After assigning this metadata in this way
for about 1200 documents, it was determined to change the way the drop-down
was populated to Lookup method referring to a Sharepoint list which
maintained the contents of the list. This was done to control the ability of
users needing to modify only one of the metadata columns but not all of them.
Unfortunately, when I went to change the metadata type to Lookup instead of
Choice, Lookup was no longer in the list. So I deleted the Choice list and
created a new column using the Look-up method. It not only blanked out the
metadata in that column but also in the Web Properties of each document in
the library; causing me to have to manually re-enter the metadata in that
column for over 1200 documents.
I could understand if the metadata in the view for that library went blank
but I never expected it to wipe clean the metadata stored in the web
properties of each document in the library.

WSS Display Folder/File Content
I have a question/problem.
First, I tried using the Page Viewer Web Part to display folder content for
a network folder, and it worked, but it only stayed in the Web Part's frame
for XP clients...on a Windows 2000 machine if I double-clicked one of the
folders within that Page Viewer Web Part, it would then take over the whole
web page, turning it into a Windows Explorer view.
So then, I decided I'd try to just manually throw in the links to
documents/folders on the default page for a site instead of using a web
part...which is fine, but if there is something new added to the folder I
wouldn't know unless I checked for new content, and then I'd have to add that
to the site.
This brought me to looking for a script that displayed the file/folder
contents of a folder on the network so that if anything is added, it will
automatically appear on the links. I've found a few ASP scripts that claim
to do this, but when I try to paste them into the code of the default.aspx
pages, nothing appears in the browser as far as the script goes (as if it
doesn't run).
Can anybody help me out on how to do this, or if there is a better solution,
to enlighten me? Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40269
Searching in Sharepoint (Sharepoint vs. Wiki)
Sorry for the crosspost, but I think I posted this question in the wrong
forum yesterday.
I work in a small development team and I've been trying to set up some means
of centralized documentation for internal use only. It's not meant to be
just a collection of Word documents but also a web site that anyone can
browse and edit.
I've set up both Sharepoint and MediaWiki to compare the pros and cons of
each. The main drawback for me with Sharepoint is that you cannot search
into web parts. I basically figured out that the best way to implement an
editable web page in Sharepoint (as you would in MediaWiki) is to use the
Content Editor Web Part and make it the full page size. Then you get a
limited, though WYSIWYG, editor. Unfortunately you cannot search on anything
you write in the web part. For this reason, MediaWiki seems more appropriate
for us.
Is there anything I'm missing about Sharepoint and searching before I settle
on MediaWiki? Will Sharepoint ever be updated in this regard?
Thanks. Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40268

Lists Web Service gives 401.5 error: HTTP Error 401.5 - Unauthorized: Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI application
I have a single server with Sql Server and IIS and WSSv2 on it, as well
as Project Server.
The configuration for IIS and WSS is roughly this:
Port 80: Default web site
Port 81: WSS
Port 83: Project Server
All of this works fine, Project can create WSS sites, WSS functions
fine, and custom apps installed on the default web site are working
fine too.
I've gone and created a Web Service on the port 81 site that loops
through the WSS sites that Project Server created. These are standard
WSS sites that have simply been created using the Project WSS Template.
. . that is to say, there is nothing special about Lists.asmx on a
Project Site.
The query to fetch all of the WSS Project Sites provides us with the
Server Name, Server Port, Site and Subweb Name.
In C# I'm then constructing the URL to the WSS Lists.asmx web service
thus:
[code]
if (wssServerPort == "80") {
listService.Url = "http://" + wssServerName + "/" + wssSite + "/" +
wssSubWeb + "/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
} else if (wssServerPort == "443") {
listService.Url = "https://" + wssServerName + "/" + wssSite + "/"
+ wssSubWeb + "/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
} else {
listService.Url = "http://" + wssServerName + ":" + wssServerPort +
"/" + wssSite + "/" + wssSubWeb + "/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
}
[/code]
Simple enough, and deals with any strange port numbers that clients may
configure their WSS to be installed on.
What I'm seeing is that any attempt to call the web service results in
the 401.5 error indicating an ISAPI Authentication Error. Of course,
WSS does use ISAPI in the WSS ISAPI plugin, which is required to
intercept and understand requests made to a Sharepoint site.
The errors in our IIS logs look like this:

The web service URL is correct, and browsing to the web service URL
revealed the WSDL thing as one would expect.
Advising the client not to use a non-standard port isn't going to cut
it... so is anyone successfully calling web services on a WSS that is
installed on a non-standard port?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, and hi to those who know me ;)

Can not access WSS sites - only see: index of...
Hi all,
One of my client cannot access to our WSS sites, he only saw the index of/
"Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.secure30.websitewelcome.com Port 80"
The others is OK. I tried to clear cookies.
He still could log on to LAN.
And he was using win xp and IE 7.0.
How about IE 7.0, is there any problems between WSS 2.0 and WSP 2003 and IE
7.0?
How can I solve this problem?

Problem with new Sharepoint installation
I just installed Windows Sharepoint Services on a Win 2003 server (actually
as a precursor to installing the BTS 2006 Beta). When I went to "localhost"
in IE, I got a message that said "Service Unavailable", noticed that
StsAppPool1 had stopped, and I saw the following error in the system log:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-00A0C922E750}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security
permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
The guid belongs to IIS Admin, so I changed the default launch and
activation permissions for COM Security to include the account that runs it,
and then I changed the IIS Admin component (under DCOM Config) to use the
default launch and activation permissions.
------------
Back to the present: so now I can start StsAppPool. But when I browse to
localhost, now I get a challenge screen asking for username and password. If
I enter the admin account, I can't get to the screen. If I hit escape, I get
this:
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid
credentials.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
I've tried lots of different things to get rid of the challenge screen with
no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks...

Option for multiple file upload is missing
I have a user here that cannot upload multiple files to any document library
because the option is not displayed. I have tried this on a dozen other
systems in the office, and all have the option to upload multiple files.
This one machine does not get the option. Is there a way of fixing this?

Web Page & Auto Reports
Hello,
I want to use a webpage as a receptacle for an automatically generated
report that is produced daily. Can you give me guidance for this?
Alternatively, is there a way to link to a webpage report placed on the

Thank you

problem with WSS calculated field
Hi ...
I have a calculated field that adds 2000 to ID. When I create a new
record the field value is 2000. If I go in and alter the formula and
change it back ... the formula will execute and yield the proper value
(say 2067). It seems to be performing the calculation before WSS has
had a chance to populate the ID field in a new record.
Any ideas?
What I am ultimately trying to do is to create a unique identifier that
starts at 2000 and increments from there on based on the last number
assigned. The way I am approaching this is really a work around.
Thanks ... Steve Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40224
Help with sql instance move for wss
Hello,
We have just created a new sql 2k instance on another box. Originally we
had our wss pointing to computer-l-db\dbserver. We have now created just the
default instance for computer-l-db. We want to move the sts_config and the
sts_content to the new instance of sql. We did a backup and restore off of
the old instance. Now when we try to
Click 1. Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration
Click 2. Configure virtual server settings
Click 3. companyweb http://companyweb/ 6.0.2.5530 Upgrade
I guess it states that I need to upgrade. So I ran the following in a cmd
prompt
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\BIN>stsadm.exe -o upgrade -url http://companyweb/
After a couple of minutes I get the message "Cannot upgrade virtual
server(s): http://companyweb/"
Is this upgrade critical?
How can I get our internal wss companyweb site to point to the new sql
instance? Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40220
Sharepoint list maximums?
We are currently looking at migrating an Exchange task list to a WSS v2 list.
The current tasks folder in Exchange contains approximately 25,000 records
with 20 fields each. Our current Sharepoint Services is on:
2.8 Ghz P4 single proc
1 Gig RAM
SQL 2000 SP4 (local)
I expect there to be about 30 people using the system simultaneously. What I
am wondering is if Sharepoint will handle this well, does Sharepoint have a
theoretical maximum list size and is this perhaps the wrong direction to go. Tag: AD Creation Mode & WMSDE Tag: 40219
Hello;
Is it possible to use a WMSDE with the AD Creation mode, or does it have to
be a full blown SQL setup? Is there any reason why?
