    - SQL Server Reporting Services Hello Everybody, I am presently working on a project which handles much larger amount of data. The application demands extensive reporting from the SharePoint data. I'd like to know how I can generate reports from the SharePoint lists using Reporting Services. The SharePoint 2007 is installed in Integrated Mode with SQL Server 2005. Thank you, Arun Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65679

    - Export Sharepoint list data to SQL Server 2005 database Hello Everybody, I am presently working on a project which handles much larger amount of data. The architecture of the application demands extracting records from the SharePoint (WSS 3.0) and insert into a SQL Server 2005 database. I need to run this job as daily basis. I am thinking of using SSIS (SQL Server Integration Service) for this purpose. But I am new to this technology and I'd like to know how effective this idea to do the job. I'd also like to know more about SharePoint's ability to handle huge amount of data when it comes to Reporting. Thank you, Arun Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65678

    - Office SharePoint Server Search "service" stuck on server I cannot stop nor start the service on the server. It is set to manual, and it either says "starting" or "stopping" and I cannot change it. I am not sure what is causing this, but it is making all kinds of issues on Sharepoint sites. I cannot do a backup, I cannot create an indexer in order to create a new SSP (which is what microsoft recommended I do, to fix the backup issue). I am just stuck in limbo, and I do not know what to do. Can anyone assist? Thanks I am running WSS 3.0 with MOSS2007 Enterprise; singler server environment Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65668

    - SharePoint address list and winmail.dat Hello, I have a somewhat (in my experience) obscure problem. Let me first give all software versions: Outlook 2003sp2 Exchange 2003 (sp unknown) SharePoint Server 2007/SharePoint Services 3.0 (?) My expertise is with Office applications: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Visio, Project and of course Outlook. I have superficial knowledge of Exchange, other people administer it. I have even less knowledge of SharePoint. Our problem: We have an address list in SharePoint. This address list is added in Outlook. When people send mails with attachment to receipients on this SharePoint address list, they arrive as winmail.dat for non-Outlook receipients. This is the dreaded RTF/TNEF problem. For normal addresses, it is easy to fix: just configure the address to receive mail in plain text format, not in Outlook RTF format. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=138053 and http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm#ms-tnef (yes I did my homework) But the addresses in the SharePoint address list are read-only in Outlook. It' snot possible to change them. Since I only know Outlook, I'm a bit at a dead end. The person administering SharePoint is willing to make changes, if I can tell exactly what to do. Which I don't know. So that's why I am here. Any suggestions? -- Amedee Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65664

    - Remote Client error Hello, after already investing some time into trying to solve this I am still stuck: Windows SharePoint services 3.0 (with installed Application Template Core from the Microsoft site) hosted on Windows Server 2003 x64, database on a separate SQL 2005 server. All machines in AD. Users from local and remote sites are accessing the server with integrated AD credentials mainly for basic functionality like team calendars. Until last Friday all went well - and nothing did change at least on clients and server as far as I know. On Monday local users still did perform well - but remote users get an error on loading the site stating errors on page like "_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames is undefined". This leads to the fact, that they can perform one other action on that loaded screen and then WSS does not perform any actions for them any more. (Each other action click may lead to a crash or object expected message, dependend from client configuration - IE6 or IE7). Same user account works in the local site (in different subnets), but not from locations connected via WAN any more. No visible errors in the event logs. In the meantime I installed Service Pack 1 and the post SP hotfix package - no change of the behaviour. If I copy the definition for spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames from the file OWS.JS to CORE.JS, the error for this function appears no longer on the remote machine. The same happens for ContextInfo, but this definition I found in the Internet only. And now I stuck again with g_ViewIdToViewCounterMap. I would tend to assume a broken SPS, but why in this case it works for the same user as long as the computer is located in my LAN? Would be great, if somebody has a hint.

    - Cannot open documents on WSS 2.0 and WSS 3.0 sites - Error generat Incident Description: The attached error is presented each time I try and access a document stored on SharePoint.

    - User Information via XML Greetings, Does anyone know if there is a source to pull in information about a user? I want to default some fields on a form and was planning to use AJAX to lookup the information about the user, e.g. lwho their manager is. Something comparable to when you use "/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll? Cmd=Display&List={xxxx-xxx-xxx}&XMLDATA=TRUE" But to pull information about the user currently logged in, or even a specified user. Is this possible? Thanks, -SJ Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65658

    - Hierachry, Templates, etc. We have decided to use SharePoint 2007 for IT Network projects and I would like to get an idea of the Hierarchy of the site, or sites. Get an idea of how we can use this to our advantage. Also, just some general questions... I want to list one of our projects and then be able to list the several tasks it took to complete this. So, my question is this... 1. Is there a map that Microsoft publishes of the typical hierarchy of SharePoint2007? 2. Will we need to create a seperate "site" for each project and go about it that way? 3. How do I import templates into the 'Template Selection' of SharePoint? 4. Where can I get more templates? Admittedly I need more practice designing the pages. However I hope someone out there can lend a hand or a site with better How to's. Thanks, Joel Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65657

    - noob question about restore to new server Hi, ok this might sound dumb, but here goes. i have created a test WSS3 site contaning a large amount of shared docs on a virtual server on default database, and want to move/migrate/ backup and restore it to another server as live with sql 2005. i have 2 sub sites on the team site, an IT and HR site with the HR having a large shared document library with permissions levels set. i used stsadm but couldnt restore it to the new server, but a restore onto itself went fine. i also tried the inbuilt backup from the central admin console, but that failed to restore as couldnt connect to the database. i tried to upgrade the the exist instance with SQL 2005, but refused to allow it to install to the existing instance. cheers Phil Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65655

    - Can't open a list with Windows Explorer - WSS3.0 Firstly apologies if this has been dealt with - I couldn't see anything posted. I have just put two new laptops running Windows Vista Business Edition on to my network and can no longer open a list with Windows Explorer - I get the error 'Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.' A search points me to KB Article 923906 which states this can happen with IE6 and a path > 100 characters; neither of which are the case here; My site is WSS 3.0 with SP1 The laptops have Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition Both systems are fully up to date with all critical and optional updates from Windows Update An older Windows XP machine with the same software works just fine Any suggestions gratefully received Alan Bell Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65654

    - Sharepoint mails Is there any way of sending mails with the subject modified on workflow completion in sharepoint. For example when i approve or reject a document, the approvers group gets an e-mail saying that the workflow has completed. Not that what the status of the approval is(approved or rejected)? is there any way of doing this? Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65649

    - Admin authority but can't Send to Another Location or save a shared Hello, I'm guessing this is a setup issue or a rights issue, but I've been working on it way too long. I am listed as the System Account on the WSS3.0 server, and I have site collection owner authority on all the collections. Howerver, I clicked on a file in a shared documents library (.xsn file) chose Send To Other Location. I typed in the library path where I wanted to send it to, and it came up with a login box. I entered my credentials, but it didn't seem to like them. So, I tried the admin credentials to the server itself, and it comes up with Unable to Connect to Server error. I'm working on a similar issue with someone who wants to share a OneNote file with others. He's in OneNote, follows the steps to create a new shared workbook, enters the workspace name on the SharePoint site, and he continues to get the same error. Unable to connect. I've looked at things like the blocked extensions, and user policies, but I'm not sure what would prevent any of these actions. Does anyone have ideas for me to try?

    - Help converting lists to features and retaining existing content We have a Sharepoint 2007 installation that was upgraded a few months back from 2003. We have a custom site definition (onet.xml, and several schema.xml) that is used for about 900 sites. The site def has several custom document library lists, a contacts list, and an image gallery. The lists are currently as they were in 2003, i.e. existing not as features, but as defined in the schema.xml in the folders \12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\[companysite]\LISTS\[listname]. Going through all the documentation that I have found, it doesn't look too tricky to convert these lists to features. However, building the Onet.xml and the webtemp.xml correctly is looking daunting, and I am not entirely sure of the process. I am especially concerned about how to get the existing content over to the new feature-based site defintions. How is this done? Do I need to use the Contnent Migration API or something? Obviously I don't have a clear picture of the process! Thanks for any help in clarifying this process for me. Cheers, Marcus Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65640

    - Can't Upload in IE on WSS 3.0 We have an external WSS 3.0 site where users are supposed to be uploading various documents. In testing, users seem to be having problems in uploading when using IE. I tested myself from an external connection. When I try uploading a 15mb rtf file with IE 7, it waits for a while then tells me I'm no longer connected. When I try using Firefox, it works just fine. I've followed the kb article on how to allow large file uploads by adjusting the timeout in IIS, update the _layouts/web.config and the web.config of the web application but it makes no difference. Has anyone run into such a problem or have suggestions on what else to look at? It almost seems like an issue with IE since it works fine in Firefox, but I can't find any settings in IE that make any difference. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Write error on file "_themes/Obsidian" I have currently done an upgrade on my sharepoint farm from 2003 to 2007. All is working well.. :) WOOT WOOT!!! except for one functionality. After the upgrade, myself and my users are not able to update the themes. I've validated it myself by trying this, and i made sure I picked a theme that is out of the box, as to not complicate it anymore. However, once i try to apply the theme I recieve a Write error on file "_themes/Obsidian". Has anyone seen this? I've checked all over microsofts forums to no avail..

    - WSS FAQ additiions and corrections - From 17th - 25th February 2008 Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are. (This is also posted to my blog at http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com) (Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.) From 17th - 25th February 2008 NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are now not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance). This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0). Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place. I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.

    - Thumbnail and preview not updating when new image overwriting old Not too sure if this is the right user group or not, so please don't flame me if it's wrong. I've just notice a peculiarity in our SharePoint setup, If I upload a new image with the same filename as an existing image and check the 'Overwrite existing image' check box although the file uploads ok, the thumbnail and preview do not change (those are the files that are stored in the _T and _W folders) Needless to sat this is very confusing to the end user, especially if the images in question are company logos, it looks as if it's the old logos that are still in the picture library. The simple solution is to delete the old files before uploading the new ones and this is how we will work in future, but I was wondering if this was a known issue? We are using SharePoint 2003. Thank you, Rob. Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65595

    - Can admin user view unpublished drafts from other users?! We have many document libraries that we have set up with required fields to be entered on upload. When one uploads a single file, Sharepoint first uploads the file and then the user is presented with a screen to complete the metadata. If they click "ok" without completing all required fields, they get the same form back in their face indicating what they missed. Nice and clear. User can't really go wrong here. However, if one uploads multiple files in one shot (i.e. "upload multiple files" from the menu), the Sharepoint interface does not force any of the metadata to be entered, leaving the file in a checked out state. It is up to the user to go to each file and set the metadata. Until this is done for each file for the required metadata, the file cannot be checked in and published. The problem is that many users who aren't familiar with this kind of workflow are inadvertently not completing the metadata tags after uploading. They think that they have completed the whole process, inform their collegues to have a look at the docs, but they cannot see any sign of them (not even showing that the files are checked out). So I thought that an admin user on the site/list with full control would be able to see these files. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!! Not even an admin user can see them. Is there any way to have these files show up for other users to see (at the very least the admin user, but really any user) and just show them as checked out? I was able to write some code that can list these unpublished drafts (see forum post http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2878978&SiteID=17) and it was amazing the number of files that we found that users had unpublished but thought they had published and were available to others. Perhaps I am missing something? Thanks for any feedback. Cheers, Marcus Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65591

    - permissions problem for lists saved as templates I have created a custom list in wssV3 that has some permissions changed on it from read to contribute for a group of users. The list works as expected. I then save the list as a template so that it can be added whenever it is required. Problem is the permissions for the list revert back to read rather than contribute. Is there a way for permissions to be retained in custom lists saved as custom lists. Thanks Alex Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65580

    - restricting users to subset of a domain My organization has a WSS site set up to support an internal group that is represented in our Active Directory by an AD Group. There doesn't seem to be a way to restrict the granting of object access to only members of that Goup. To state it another way, If someone can grant access to a resource, they can grant access to anyone in the domain, not just members of the Group. This is a serious conundrum. It seems that the people picker can be modified to use a LDAP query to populate it's pick list, by if a name is typed in, it will be looked up in the directory without restriction. Surprisingly, I can find no information on how to implement a configuration like this. Surely we can't be the only ones who have ever needed this?

    - file not found or error creating directory/folder whenever one creates a folder, document library or any item, trying to access that item gives a â??file not foundâ?? error. One can see the item in the all documents list however clicking on it throws up the error. Mysteriously enough this error disappears after a random period time â?? sometimes in an hour, sometimes a day or even more. This is very strange and a irritating issue which has been happening since some time now. The problem is that it gets resolved on its own and sometimes when I just click on that URL, it gets resolved and so it is getting difficult to resolve it as it does not give any details of the error. I have already asked for help from few experts even before and nobody has any answers yet. I have tried finding something on web and blogs and but still could not find anything.

    - Email sent from sharepoint is not accepted by sharepoint Hello All, I am running into an interesting problem. This is going to take a bit for me to explain thoroughly, but the issue is quite simple once I get the point across. I have e-mail enabled a number of libraries to accept e-mails, and it works flawlessly when e-mail is sent to these libraries from an Outlook client. I have created an InfoPath 2007 form and wish to submit forms by e-mail to one of these e-mail enabled lists. When I perform the submit, I can see the e-mail flow through exchange, get dropped off in IIS SMTP drop folder, and then get picked up by SharePoint. However it never shows up in the document library. If I CC myself on this InfoPath submit, I can then forward this e-mail from my Outlook client to the document library and the form (attached) is delivered properly. I have spent a great deal of time troubleshooting this and have been able to really narrow it down. ANY e-mail that I have generated from SharePoint will NOT be accepted by the document libraries. I have created very basic test forms in InfoPath to test this. I have also setup document library alerts and then forced them to fire by modifying documents in that library. The alerts will be delivered to my mailbox successfully and they are also picked up by SharePoint from the drop folder successfully, however SharePoint will simply not accept the message and put it into the document library. If I forward any of these messages from my Outlook client to the library, it works flawlessly. It seems to me that e-mails that are fired off by SharePoint are formatted in such a way that they are trashed on the incoming side. I have captured .eml files from the drop folder and compared them between outgoing from SharePoint and from my Outlook client, but the differences are too great to sort out. I can go on with details for a long time here, but will leave it at this for now and hope that someone can provide me with any recommendations. Also, why is there no diagnostic logging for what action is taken against incoming e-mails? It seems that they are disposed of and there is never a notification. I enabled full diagnostic logging for "email", which is very uninformative. Thanks a lot, Tommy Tag: Presence Awareness with Lotus Sametime Tag: 65567

Does anyone have information on using Lotus Sametime to provide
presence information to a Windows SharePoint Services (V3 or V2
Environment?)

I have Lotus Sametime Connect client (V3) running on my desktop, with
a Sametime Server on the network. Sametime connect is providing
Presence awareness status to Lotus Notes (as well as IM functionality)

Is there a plug-in or configuration steps to have Sametime provide
this status to SharePoint?
I am aware of competing Microsoft Products (OSC etc.).

There is no integration between WSS and the lotus client that I know of.
Heck, the integration of WSS with the Windows IM client is pretty cludgy.

Sorry, but the online presence capabilities of WSS seem pretty tied into the
Windows/MSN product and I don't know of any events or commands that are
surfaced for use with the feature.
