    - receive "The user does not exist." when try to add new users to a I tried to add new users to a cross site group, when I enter domain\username(s), separate them with semicolons. On the Confirm Users step, it automatically displays usersâ?? name, email and display name from Active Directory. But when I go next step, I receive error message â??the user does not existâ??. I added some users to other cross site groups of other top level sites before without any problem. And when I check the ~/_layouts/1033/userinfo.aspx (user information), the added cross site group users information donâ??t display, but they are showed when I check ~/_layouts/1033/siteusrs.aspx ( site collection user information). Any idea? TIA Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48911

    - How can I transfer document properties between document libraries? Hi, We have decided on two separate Doc Libraries in WSS to handle Document Creation (Lib A - Drafts) and Public Document Access (Lib B - Published). Lib A is secured so that only a select group can access it, add, edit, manage docs (MS Word, MS Visio) in it. Lib B is for everyone to view, and will contain PDFs only. We create docs and store in Lib A, then print to PDF to publish (i.e. copy) to Lib B. Currently we have no smarts to accomplish this, but we need to make it as easy and automated as possible. Document Properties stored in documents in Lib A need to be transferred with the PDF across to Lib B, can this be scripted in any way? We currently convert to PDF using a tool that doesn't save all Custom Properties into the PDF Any ideas, help appreciated! Ben Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48897

    - Page cannot be displayed on certain PC's I recently installed a test environment of Sharepoint Services and I'm noticing a strange behaviour of not being able to logon from certain PC's. I can logon to the sites from a couple of PC's but there's a small group of PC's that I'm unable to logon from. I get a "page cannot be displayed" error. All of the PC's are configured identically and I'm also logged on to the domain. Any ideas why I'd be able to logon from a group of PC's but not on others? Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48883

    - ...trying to sip from a firehose... Ok, there can certainly be no criticism of 'lack of information' about Sharepoint.. The problem is, I have very basic questions and there is just too much information to get good, simple answers. We have an all WindowsXP/OfficeXP environment with the one (annoying) exception of Lotus Notes. Notes allows document sharing in a way I can't seem to get elsewhere. I need for a dozen or more people to be able to open & edit the same spreadsheet simultaneously and transparently. I can do this with Notes - but that isn't enough of a reason to keep it. I want to do away with Notes and I need some way for users to share files not normally shareable. We could use a ton of other features, I'm sure - but this is the immediate, demonstrable business need. Can Sharepoint do this? I don't know sharepoint, so a ton of involved explanation isn't going to help me much - just the facts, ma'am? Thanks in advance.. K Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48881

    - Document Library's "Basic Page" not saved under folder We are using WSS 2003. When we are in the document library webpart, and do a "New Document", then choose "Basic Page". The Basic Page that is created is always saved in the root of the doc library and not within the folder that is currently open. I don't see a "Save As" button to allow you to choose its location like you can do in the other Office tools. Since the Basic Page is stored at the root, when you copy it to a folder using the Explorer View, it will not copy the contents of the Basic Page. It does work if you do a Cut/Paste, but we've had problems sometimes losing files this way, so we'd rather do Copy/Paste and then delete the old if the copy is successful. Is this a known issue? Or does anyone know a work-around? TIA, JM Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48877

To provide external access to companyweb people will go to https://___.___.___.___:444/. This works fine outside of the office (though it is slow). The problem: some of our offices are in public schools and the school system can't seem to get an exception for port 444. They put in the exception, it just isn't working.

    - Serious problem with Version control within SharePoint I have been encountering problems within the workplace when it comes to version control. Users of SharePoint have been overwriting documents without having the option of merging/replacing etc. I have performed many tests to see how they have been doing it, and everything seemed to work correctly with the proper prompts appearing and users having options to stop the overwriting of a document. The way I have found to overwrite documents is as follows: 1) User 1 opens up a document by selecting 'Edit in Microsoft Word' in the drop down menu. This gives the user a short term lock on the file. 2) Meanwhile, User 2 opens the file by clicking on the filename hyperlink, this opens the file as read-only, and both users have the same version of the file. 3) User 1 makes changes to the document and saves it back to the document library. They then close Microsoft Word, unlocking the file lock. 4) User 2 makes different changes to the document, and then saves to the doc library. The changes User 2 has made overwrites all the work done by User 1! Apart from enforcing the fact that all users must check-out, or click 'Edit in Microsoft Word', is there any other way that i can stop this from happening? Is this a known problem within SharePoint? The only workaround i can think of, is to edit the doc library within FrontPage and remove the hyperlink to the file, but this is a long drawn out process when you have 100's of doc libraries. User's are losing faith in SharePoint fairly rapidly as work is lost without people knowing until they go back to check the doc further down the line.

    - Making backup of a page in Front Page Hi, I've recently made some changes to my Dispform.aspx page in Frontpage but before I made the changes I made a backup of the page (called Dispform_bak.aspx) Now, when I click a List item in my Sharepoint List I am directed to the backup copy of the page (so the url is: http://chillout/sites/RecSales/Lists/SinglesSalesNotes/DispForm_bak.aspx?ID=12) Does anyone know why this has happened and how I can make the URL change back to Dispform.aspx? I've already tried opening Dispform_bak.apsx and saving it back as Dispform.apsx (hoping this would reverse the problem) but it hasn't worked. Any help greatly appreciated Mike Tag: SQL Server with SharePoint. Tag: 48763

I am currently running Windows 2003 Standard running a Web Site
(default site) on one IP and a SharePoint site(s) on another IP
utilizing the desktop version of SQL. The two sites have been running
for almost a year now without any problems.

I am in the process of evaluating upgrading our existing Access
Database to SQL Server 2005 my concern (and is probably a newbie
concern) is will installing SQL Server 2005 overwrite or damage the
existing SharePoint SQL instance?

Are there any good documents to outline any special steps to install
SQL Server 2005 while having a SharePoint site operating.
