    - Web parts data error Hi all: I built a dashboard using the Office Pivot Chart web parts, but when I try to access the dashboard page from a client I get an error. First I get the message about "This website uses data from a provider that may be unsafe, if you trust the site click here" which I can get rid of by putting the Sharepoint site in the trusted sites zone, but when I do that I don't get the data and the error message is the oh so helpful "Failed to get data". The page works fine on the server, and the client is joined to the domain and can access MSCRM with no issues (i.e the data source is alive and reachable). The MSCRM server, http://danubecrm, is in the local intranet zone, and the security is set to "Automatic logon only in intranet zone" Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it? Thanks for any and all help. John. -- This message sent from Windows Vista! Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52372

    - Access is Denied error (EventLog with Sharepoint Services 2.0 SP2) Hey Guys, I have a .net remoting singleton hosted in IIS 6.0 (Win Server 2k3 SP1) and sharepoint services 2.0 (Sp2) is installed on my box. My .net remoting component tries to write to the eventlog of windows under a special category "LxxServer". Each time it tries, it get the following exception : System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open log for source {0}. You may not have write access. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.OpenForWrite() at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent(Int32 eventID, Int16 category, EventLogEntryType type, String[] strings, Byte[] rawData) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category, Byte[] rawData) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message, EventLogEntryType type) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message) ---------------------------- NOTE : If I remove sharepoint from the machine, I have no problem. Also : the app pool hosting my .net remoting component runs under Network Service (although I've tried almost every possible user). I've also tried to elevate the trust level of the default web site to "Full trust", nothing works for me. Any ideas? Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52371

    - Install WSSV3 on Vista RC1 Since there is no limit on the number of websites that can be created in IIS7 on Vista RC1, it would seem that this is a good platform to install WSSV3. Obviously, this could allow WSSV3 platform developers to avoid using a server OS for their workstation. The WSSV3 Beta2 install does an OS check for WinServer2003 with SP1, so the install fails on Vista RC1, but are there plans to allow a WSSV3 Beta Refresh or RTM install on Vista RC1(+ n) and RTM? Is there a switch I can use on the current WSSV3 beta 2 install to bypass the OS check? I've tried "/force" (guessing switches from stsadm, I suppose), but that doesn't work.

    - SharePoint Services - using local user accounts I've seen this touched on before in this group, but I'm kinda stuck and hoped someone could clarify this. I would like to add external users to a SharePoint site running on SBS. However, because we have limited SBS CALs (as the external users are part-time employees) I don't want to add new domain users. So, is it a good idea to add local users? Is there a better solution? It seems a bit cumbersome to either manually add the local users on the server, then on SharePoint, or write a script and integrate it. Also, does SBS allow local users to be added without licensing implications? How about licensing of SharePoint for local machine users logging in from outside the domain? If anyone can help that would be great John Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52364

    - Sharepoint Report Viewer Web Part Problem I have a sharepoint services homepage with two report viewer webparts and the following problems: 1- I cannot change the title of both webparts! When I specify the title to one of them (Appearance > Title) the other one changes and assumes the "Report Viewer" title. 2- I cannot display images and charts on the reports if I specify "toolbar size : none". If I do that the report shows me a broken link image. I saw the html and when I specify "toolbar size: small" or "full" on the web part the images are rendered as http://swreportmigr/ReportServer/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?ExecutionID=cykzkoei1yxv5fml1tebpd55&ControlID=54a16895-5b35-4359-b206-c42f337200c9&Culture=1046&UICulture=9&ReportStack=1&OpType=ReportImage&StreamID=1202459a-0b4c-47d7-9917-c9cf52b024c8 and when I specify "toolbar size: none" they are rendered as below and fail http://swreportmigr/ReportServer?%2fMigrReports%2fDashboardSmall&rs%3aFormat=HTML4.0&rs%3aImageID=e2ff8890-5112-4d6e-b36c-9dba234c4f91 Can someone help, please?

    - Web part editing disabled in "Public Documents" I have a Microsoft Project Server 2003 install with WSS being used for project sites. I noticed that the web parts in the Public Documents site created by Project Server for some reason cannot be edited. You can try to modify them, but the Ok, Cancel and Apply buttons in the task pane are greyed out and do nothing. The other sites work just fine and I am an Administrator on all sites. Is there a way to enable web part editing? I have WSS SP2 installed. Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52353

    - Helpdesk Application Hi, I am currently trying to set up Sharepoint Helpdesk as this would assist us in managing problems, however, The application needed some altering and now it seems far from what we are aiming for. What we want is to have users be able to add problems to the Issues section, but to also have notes and resolutions etc so that we can refer back for the solution to recurring problems. I've added the fields to the section, but is it at all possible to "lock out" these fields or hide them to users who aren't specifically allowed to view or use these fields?

    - WSS in Vista? I just recently noticed that Vista Ultimate RC1 includes what appears to be a full version of IIS7. I dug around to see if it also had WSS v3 but found nothing. I tried installing from the stand-alone installation and it fails saying that 2003 SP1 is required. Does anyone kow if WSS will be supported on any version of Vista? This would certainly streamline some of our development. -- Harold Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52326

    - Meeting Workspace Question Hello all, I'm trying to set up a meeting workspace with a catch. The same meeting meets on two different days, at two separate times. Is there anyway to bundle this into 1 meeting workspace instead of having to create two to account for the different times? i.e. Group meets on Monday from 8am-11am and Wednesday from 3pm-5pm. I know its possible to set up a reccurance of Mon/Wed from 8am-11am, but I haven't found a way to make Sharepoint recognize that the Wednesday meeting starts at a different time. Thanks!

    - Problems getting theme customizations to work Our organization has just started using SharePoint 2003, and I've be given a site to customize for our department. Using FrontPage 2003, I'm able to change themes for the site, and I'm also able to make a copy of the theme and customize it. But the customizations aren't showing up on the site, just in FrontPage. At first I thought the problem was that even though FrontPage tells me that I'm logged into the part of the SharePoint site where I have access, somehow I was just making changes on my PC, not the server. But when I make changes to default.aspx, they are showing up on the site. Similarly, in _themes, I can see the theme I customized. If I make changes to any of the .CSS files, including copy1011-109.css, the changes don't show up when I look at the site. But if I delete the .css files, then the site reverts back to the default design that our SharePoint admin set up, which suggests that I am making changes on the server. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? It could be something simple and stupid -- although I've read a bunch of documentation, I'm still a newbie when it comes to SharePoint.

The only way I could break this 'hidden relationship" between my aspx and view is to rename the aspx page. -- Thank you, Andrew Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52299

    - Permissions for \\companyweb from the server I have an issue. We setup a document library on sbs 2003 sharepoint website on my clients companyweb. From every computer on the domain we can go to start-->run and type \\companyweb\newlibrary and it pulls up the files but if I try it from the sbs 2003 server I get a pop up asking for the username and password. No matter what I type in it won't let me view the files. I can log in as an admin to one of the workstations and hit the files so it is something to do with the server and not the user. I can access the library though the web interface on the server just not using \\companyweb I have been searching for days and I can't find anything. This was working about 2 weeks ago and just stopped working. I am guessing it was from an update. Thanks! Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52294

    - Map network drive to sharepoint problem I have read a few things that would suggest that it's possible to map a network drive to a WSS v2 site, or document library. However, I haven't had any success at this. The SharePoint URL is https://gmsnet.gms.ca/it/Shared%20Documents (don't bother trying to access it, it's only available on our local network). When I attempt to map the network drive on my Windows 2003 Server to \\gmsnet.gms.ca\it\Shared%20Documents\, I receive the following error: "The drive could not be mapped because no network was found." I am doing something wrong? At first I thought the problem was the fact our site uses an SSL certificate and therefore runs on port 443, but I removed that restriction and retried but got the same error. Another suggestion I found on the web was to ensure that the WebClient service was running on the server. I checked it and it wasn't running. In fact, it was disabled - apparently that's a Windows Server 2003 default. So I changed that server to Manual and started it. Still no luck. Any other suggestions?

    - Sharing ACT or Quickbooks data via SharePoint Services Hi all. I do a lot of user training for SharePoint Services, primarily in a hosted environment. Lately I've been asked by several people about the ability for users to share data files such as ACT or Quickbooks via a SharePoint Services site. My gut feeling is that this cannot be done, but I have seen nothing written about this to support my feeling, except those I've found about not being able to upload an Access mdb file into a document library and edit it. Can anyone clear up this question for me? Maybe even point me to some articles about SharePoint Services ability or limitations for users wanting to share database type files with other users? I'd like to have something I can send to those that ask me this question. Thanks in advance! Andrea Kalli Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52291

    - Date Time Formats in WSS Hi All, I would like to change the date time format in WSS to "10 Dec 2006" instead of "10/12/2006" (uk settings), but sadly there appears to be no option to do this at either the central admin, root level or column level. has anyone come across a workaround before? My only thought is an ISAPI filter that processes the response and uses regular expressions to reformat datetimes. Doesn't sound too pleasant..... I have also tried changing the "short date time" settings in the region/language options. Please note that I am NOT asking how to change regional settings. cheers, Paul Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52286

Is there a way to stream video or any other solution? I've tried compressing the files but the quality is really worse (using Windows Movie Maker) so because it's a tutorial I need the video to be clear. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

    - Problems opening files larger than 40MB Is there some kind of setting that is not allowing me to open files residing in WSS v2. I cannot open and/or copy files that are larger than 40MB. When I try to do that it gives me a "cannot find data source error". Is WSS v2 limited to just storing Microsoft Office files? We are using it to store numerous file types, not just Microsoft Office files. The server is showing very poor performance when using SharePoint compared to just storing raw data. I expected a minor decline in performance but not this major. Any ideas? This is what we have running: Win 2003 Server Dual Xeon 2.4 Processor 303GB Total HD space RAID 3GB of RAM WSS v2 Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52266

    - Restore Content Database problem Hi, I have spent basically the whole day reading about restoring the content database in WSS but I still can't seem to get it working. I really hope someone can help me out.. The only backup I have is the content database (SQL 2000 backup) but not the configuration database. The steps I've done so far are on a new server are: 1. Restored the database into sql 2. Installed WSS with remotesql=yes and server farm option 3. Run through the first central admin setup pages choosing an application pool with identity of the local admin account. This also created a new configuration database. 4. Created a new web site in IIS 5. Extended this site in WSS 6. Removed the newly created content database via 'Manage content databases ' in central administration 7. Added my restored content database as the new content database - once I did this I can see that Current Number of Sites = 1 8. Added the local admin account as a security and process admin and database creator role of my restored content database. When I browse to the site I get 'Cannot complete this action' Firstly is there something I have missed? Do I need the original configuration database? I've also run exec sp_changedbowner 'server\Administrator' but it says The proposed new database owner is already a user in the database so it must of been using the same user as I am using now, I couldn't check this because the old server crashed and the only backup I have is the content db. Does anyone have any idea what I might of done wrong? Thanks, Rick Tag: Problem while configuring Share Point 2007 Tag: 52249

    - Crawled Properties -- SharePoint 2007 .. Enterprise Search Hello All, I have to do search on a website using Sharepoint 2007, and the website is built on ASP.Net and not using SharePoint. So, I setup ContentSource for the website in the Sharepont Central Administration 3.0. I also setup some crawled rules and managed properties. When I crawl the content using Full Crawl functionality, the content is crawled as expected. Searching is also working. All we need to index is the Content in .aspx pages and nothing more than that. Our requirement is that we only index the content of the web pages, where we have a tag (which is in the <body> .. it can be a comment or <span> with an id that we care). We do not want to index any other elements or tags like <html><title>, etc. Is there a way to do this using Crawled Properties and Managed Properties?

    - Office cannot retrieve WSS-information Hi, On a Windows Server 2003 standard I have installed WSS on the default web-server. The server - as well as clients - are fully patched. The site works as it should when accessing from within IE (added site to local intranet). But when I open a document/spreadsheet in word/excel it keeps on prompting (after the actual document already opened) for credentials. And no matter how many times I keep on pounding my password - it just keeps prompting. This goes when the server is accessed from within it's own domain - as well as when I access it over the internet. When I cancel the requests it doesn't connect my "task pane" in Office - and I can't use the facilities within. It says somwthing like (translated): You do not have access to the work space. My user is both member of adminstrators and domain admin - both within this domain, and on the computer where I try to gain access from outside. If I disable the Basic Authentication in IIS I get a "You are not authorized to view this page" when I try to access the page from computers on other domains. Could anyone please advice?

    - Uploading large programs into doclibs - disadvantages? I'm dealing with our corporate intranet running SPS/WSS'03. A user would like to upload a program executable into a document library - right now it's telling him that the file is too big. I know how to change max file upload settings as well as allowing .exe files into the doclibs...but is this a good use? Should users upload massive installable programs into doclibs? I'm looking for a pros/cons thing here; we currently use a shared drive for things like that. I'm thinking Sharepoint will be slower and bloat the filesize (not to mention chew up massive amounts of diskspace on the Sharepoint server). Any thoughts? Much appreciated in advance!

It appears that the users that I have setup as contributors do not see their postings until and administrator has approved them. I did not turn on any workflow stuff nor did I see that it was on when I looked. Any have thoughts on that? I want users to be able to post their messages without approval. Also, has anyone seen a calendar webpart that is or could maybe be tied to the blog template so you can click on a date and show postings from that date, like most blogs work?

There are two SharePoint 2007 products - MOSS 2007 and WSSv3 - which one do
you have ?

Can you also say how far you have got in the "successful" installation of
whichever SharePoint 2007 application you are using. Usually you configure
either of them as part of the installation process so have you really
completed installation ?
