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

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...

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.
Thanks

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?

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 ?????

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.
Thanks,

how I could integrate Visio with a WSS list. For
instance, with Visio you can import user information from

* Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly
* On the File Menu, click Open. Search for the file using
this dialog box.

The cut-off at "sharepoi" makes it difficult to debug.

get this error message does.

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

you take that I've missed out?
