    - Moving server and Meeting Workspaces Hi, We had a simple installation of SPS on a single SPS server, let's call it SPS1. Users created recurring Meeting Workspaces on this server. A new server farm was configured and SPS1 became the job/index server. 2 new load balanced web servers were commisioned given the name SPS. SPS1 no longer is a webserver as well (as this configuration is not supported) and users had to change bookmarks and shortcuts to access the portal and sites, etc. via http://SPS instead of http://SPS1. This is all sorted and working well, except for the previously created Meeting Workspaces. The meeting workspace still exists (on SPS), but the hyperlinks in Outlook (both in the body and in the panel) still point to SPS1! Without losing the content of the existing Meeting workspaces, how can I get these meetings to point to the new server? I know this error took place on an SharePoint Portal Server, but since Meeting Workspaces are part of WSS, I was hoping for some help on the matter here...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Lists after V3 upgrade Our test server has been upgrade to V3 but cosmetically none of the lists have taken on the V3 look they are instead stuck somewhere between V2 and V3. Did this happen to anyone else, is it fixable or did the MS "design team" (and I'm using that term loosly) not worry about having this done since we're only in beta ATM? I think all doc/photo libs updated correctly Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50038

    - dws double hop credentials 401 unauthorized failure I'm stumped by a double-hop problem where Internet Explorer calls a webservice on server-A that calls the dws.CreateFolder webservice in Sharepoint Portal Server (SPS) on server-B. The dws webservice returns a 401: Unauthorized HTTP error when default credentials are used by the Server-A webservice. The problem goes away if the Server-A webservice creates and passes new credentials from an authorized user's login and password strings. I need to use default credentials as SPS has to show the identity of the user responsible for the creation of each folder. According to the security logs from both servers, the user's credentials are properly arriving from the client and validating on Server-A. But, when passed from the webservice on Server-A to the dws webservice on Server-B, the log shows Anomynous User is transmitted instead of the credentials of the user that logged in as a client. I've read alot of posts about double hops, and its not quite clear what needs to be done. I've tried setting delegation as perscribed in MSDN and so far nothing has worked. I don't know if this problem is because of the combination of hardware and O/S or their configuration. I'ld appreciate hearing from you if you've had similar experiences or any remedies - thanks The hardware configuration is: (porportional font table) Computer: Client Server-A Server-B OS: Windows XP Windows SBS Windows Server 2003 Domain: MYWORLD MYWORLD MYWORLD Network Dir: Server-A Active Directory Member of Server-A user account Domain Controller Active Directory Delegation: Use Windows User account can No special settings Integrated delegate and IIS is trusted to delegate.

    - Login Problem : Login Prompt Doesn't Show up!! Hello all, I have run into a very big login problem with my WSS 2.0 installation. I have set up kerberos authentication and it worked fine for me and others inside the company. However there are some PC's that stopped working, since users cannot login from there. When they try to get to the WSS site they get the error Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource. Access requests are not enabled. NOTICE: This thing shows up without even showing the login prompt!! What is more I found that I can access the site by a)using firefox b)running iexplore as a different user. Searching around I found other people who have the same problem but no answer yet... Is there any way I can get it to work? I don't want to use NTLM authentication Thanks for the prompt reply Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50028

    - script to add user to group? Hi, for our intranet, I'm running WSSv2 on W2003R2 with SQL2005, single server. I'd like our employees to read and agree to a policy regarding appropriate content for posting to the Announcements section . Anyone know or have suggestions for a script or other methods to enable users read a policy online, check a box indicating that they agree with the policy, and automatically add the user to the contributors group for that web part (or add them to a domain group)? Thanks for any suggestions! - Pete -- ----- P Hoffman, MCSA, MCP, MSCE Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50025

If I go to explorer view of a doc lib in one of the WSS sites, a web folder is created immediately in My Network Places. On the other one I have to open a doc in Office and go to SaveAs until it's created. Any ideas? THX Holger Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50012

    - no more smigrate :-( Hi all Struggling without the WSS3 administrators guide. Has it been released? We have a relatively large WSS site with many subwebs - around 20gig SQL DB all up. With WSS2, I used to use smigrate is an easy means to restore individual files from a backed up library. I had a script that listed all site collections for a given virtual server, and then recursively run stsadm -enumsubwebs for each site collection. For each subweb, I would then run smigrate with the -e option to then do subwebs individually. I did this so we ended up with lots of smaller, more managable FWP files and not a monster one. This was not for true DR, but more for the common situation of a developer stuffing up a subweb or files in a document library being clobbered. This method allowed for quick restores of common types of data. So now with WSS3 you lose smigrate and have to use STSADM export/import. I also see that we have lost the use of the -e parameter? Can anybody confirm this? Now as another question - as I'm struggling to find out an answer, does stsadm -o backup allow a restore to a completely separate sharepoint box or is this still the realm of stsadm -export/import Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50008

    - Excel Synchronize more than one lists Hi all, I have a single excel containing several worksheets, in which each worksheet shows a custom list in Sharepoint. Are there any idea to synchronize all the worksheets / custom lists by a single button or options? Any existing VBA can do that? It may be time wasting to sychronize each one by one. :P Best regards, Andy Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50005

    - Authentication on localhost, ports work but not FDQN Hi, Englbert: SP2003 non portal! SQL2005 I have a strange issue when browsing to my "configerable" SP site on local host. If I browse on the SP-Server to the site using http:localhost:port then I can authenticate. I can also browse using FDQN from other PCs and authenticate no problem. But if I browse on the SP-Server using FDQN it refuses to athenticate! Ive tried every permutation to no avail. What on earth can be the problem?

    - explorer view - error cutting and pasting files We have a problem that recently started where when users put a document library into Explorer View and then try to cut and paste files from that document library into another document library that is in Explorer view, they receive the following message: "Cannot copy <filename>: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." If they try to drag and drop the file from one document library to another, they get "Cannot move <filename>: Cannot read from the source file or disk." They have appropriate security to the document libraries. Additionally, this problem is occuring seemingly for everyone in all the document libraries. The files are not corrupt and we are able to upload files into the document libraries. My first thought was that the content database was full (I don't have access to this information), but I'm able to add files individually, so this doesn't seem likely. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 50001

    - dot net question Hello, Is it possible to install Dot Net 2.0 on a WSS server that is using Dot Net 1.1 and not break anything? I'm only asking because we have another application on this server that is being upgraded and it needs Dot Net 2.0. I believe I read somewhere that you can't have both Dot Net versions on a server running WSS. Can anyone confirm this? On another note, if for some reason I needed to uninstall and reinstall Dot Net 1.1, would this break my WSS site? Thanks in advance. Mike Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49999

    - Icons in Shared Documents repositories. ***Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum*** Just a real quick question and hopefully there will be a nice quick answer as I am sure that someone knows all about this one. In my 'shared documents' document repositories I used to see nice little icons next to the PDF files that had been shared. We recently moved our SPP2003/WSS2.0 installation from one server to another and I believe that this little oddity appeared after the move. If anyone can give me a hint or tip as to where I should begin looking to sort out this one it would be greatly appreciated. I know that my boss is going to notice soon and ask me about it. :) Kind regards, David Buckley. Infrastructure Team, Information Systems Division, XYZ Company. Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49986

    - Extranet Questions What is the best way to set up an Extranet? We are going to use it for our customers and would like to use account creation mode for simplicity. Here are a few questions: 1) How should the computer be set up... child domain, seperate domain? We plan on putting the server on a DMZ. 2) Can I use MSSQL Express 2005 for the database? 3) Do I need 2 seperate servers, one for DC and the second for WSS? 4) Is there any good documentation out there on how to do this... I have the Microsoft Resource Kit book. Thanks in advance. Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49985

    - WSSv3 beta2 - Can't login Hi, I can't seem to login to a new install of WSSV3 beta2. Installed on a cloned virtual machine. I know there were issues with this, but I've run sysprep, so I think the issue with the SID is not the problem. I installed on a single server. But I can't seem to login. The logs show that I am trying to authenticate with Kerberos. I have since tried to change this to NTLM. Changing to NTLM seemed successful, but I still can't login and the logs still show that I am using kerberos. Any ideas? Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49977

    - WSS - slow to display/edit list item I have multiple WSS sites running on a single server, using Sharepoint Portal Server 2003. All sites have similar - if not identical - lists. One particular site is very slow when you click a list item to view it, or to edit it. E.g. When you display a list of issues, then click one particular issue to display the details it can take 20-30 seconds to fully display. The data is displayed almost immediately, however the progress bar at the bottom of the screen takes 20-30 seconds before it completes and then displays the 'back to list' option. It seems to be site specific; other sites on the same server do not have this issue. What processing is Sharepoint doing when it displays a list item on screen? There are three fields which display user information, so I wondered if the larger number of users on the slow site would make the difference. Having reviewed the user list, there are now less users on this site than on another comparable site and it has improved performance slightly, but nowhere near enough. None of the sites are yet approaching 2000 list items per list even including all the previous versions, although several sites are reaching the 1000-1500 mark. Does the number of current records and number of total records have an impact? I.e. if one site's list is more heavily maintained than the other then there will be lot of previous version records. Perhaps this would slow it down? Any help on how the display item works, or things to check for would be appreciated! Mitzi Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49968

    - Display name not showing and 2 domains Hello, I have a server running Windows sharepoint services, this server is located domainA. When I add a user to a site in domainA the display name shows correctly (first name, last name). Another domain (let's call it DomainB) is also in reach and I can add user from domainB. The only thing is that the display name is NOT showing correctly (it shows only the username, not first name, last name). Users from domainB can logon correctly, only display name is not showing. I know I can change this by hand but that is not an option because we have a lot of users in domainB. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance, Kea Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49956

    - WSS v3 Installation Hi All, I have spent the last 3 days trying to install Windows Sharepoint services version 3 but to no avail. The problem occurs during the configuration procedure - once the config db is being created (see exception below). I have also tried using an installation of SQL in order to avoid using MSDE but to no avail. The user I am using to access the DB has the necessary rights (DB Creator / System Administrator and Security Administrator) in fact the following databases are being created: SharePoint_Config and SharePoint_AdminContent_2d45eeff-afdd-4a97-94d8-04ec0c78bed4. Please note that this installation is on a fresh installation of Windows 2003 R2 - and I am not using a VPC installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 06/22/2006 12:26:11 6 ERR Task configdb has failed with an unknown exception 06/22/2006 12:26:11 6 ERR Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Exception occurred.

    - Admin/Installer left, now email to newly added users no longer wor Greetings, Recently we had our SharePoint admin leave who also installed it. User alert emails are working, but when I add a new user to a site, the email alert fails. I went into SharePoint Administration and changed his email address to mine hoping that would solve the issue, but it hasn't. The error that returns is: "The user or users have been added successfully, but there was an error in sending the e-mail message. The server may not be set up correctly to send e-mail. To verify that e-mail is configured correctly, contact your server administrator. " Does anyone know what else I might be missing here? Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49947

    - Invalid messages were generated Another member, Radhika, has posted this similar issue dated 5/15/2006. Everynight, as the Sharepoint Administrator, I get several emails from the SPS. The subject / body of the message always read the same: ******************* Subject: Invalid messages were generated The SharePoint Portal Alert service did not send an e-mail message. The service will try to resend the message ******************* In terms of SPS Configuration, we haven't changed it since the initial installation.

    - Discussion Threaded view problems Hi there, I am struggling with setting up a discussion under Sharepoint Services. I want to create a Web Parts Page, with two parts; 1) at the top, some information from a filtered list related to the discussion topic 2) a set of Threaded discussions (filtered by ThreadID) The problem I am having is that whenever I open the page in FrontPage (Actually Share Point Designer Beta), the view changes from Threaded to Flat. The strange thing is that I have done this sort of thing before without the view changing. Here are the steps I am taking; 1) In Internet Explorer, Create a new Web Parts Page 2) Add a list Web Part 3) Add the discussion as a web part (Whatever my default, it now always comes up as Flat view) 4) Modify the Discussion Web Part to use the Threaded View 5) Open the page in FrontPage (wanting to add filters etc) and here... it shows the Discussion in Flat view, and I can't seem to change it. I have also tried simplifying it, and doing the same without the extra list. Even if I make a copy of the AllItems list view, open it in FrontPage, and save it without making any changes, it defaults to the Flat View. Discussions aren't very useful without some form of Threaded View. Thanks in advance for your help. Antony Tag: Shared Workspace & VBA Tag: 49912

Hi,

Our requirement is to work on the local copy of a Shared Workspace
document and update the original when required. the local copy needs to
be created dynamically on a certain user interaction.

Can we use Save Updateable Copy feature using VBA or VB from client
side.

We tried using the CheckOut and CheckIn method from Word using
VBA...but while saving the server copy gets saved.

Thanks in advance,
Uday
