    - Sharepoint Restoring Issue Hi, I have this problem that I cannot restore the .DAT which i backup to the Portal. Well I had to Format the Server's Hard Drive so had to Install the Windows SPS Freshly, due to some issues. Well while restoring it says: "Your backup is from a different version of Windows SharePoint Services and cannot be restored to a server running the current version". Well I had the WSS 2.0 same as it was Backed up and the Command i used was as follows: "stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://express/sites/test -filename ascent 2005-12-04.dat" The above Command was specifically for my Sever. If anyone could help on this ASAP... Thank You, Regards, Shameem Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39540

    - HTTP Error 403 Hi, We have WSS and SPS installed, with WSS SP2 and SPS SP1. From time to time when users navigate from our main intranet page (non sharepoint) to any sharepoint site, or from a sharepoint link sent to them via email, they get a "You are not authorized to view this page" (HTTP error 403). If the user presses refresh the page loads fine. The problem doesn't seem to effect any particular users and is more of a random problem. All client PCs are Windows XP2 SP2, and IE 6.0 SP2. Your help is appreciated. Regards, Adrian Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39537

    - Can not retrieve properties at this time ERROR Hi folks, I'll tell you the background story of this Internet Explorer pop up window error "Can not retrieve properties at this time". Initially I create a document library called help document, then inside the document library I create some index folders like A, B, C ... Inside each folder I create some items (Basic Page), such as Product.aspx ... Product.aspx will show user about product info. But then it's a plain text page with top naviation bar and a link to Edit the Content. When you click the Edit Content link, a pop up Rich Text Editor will help you to edit the page content easier. To I improve the page, I add a left panel that show you a Help Document web part. So, You can browse through each directory and click the page you want it to view. Of course, the bad thing you need to add the help document web part on every page you've created. By doing above improvement, I can not click Edit Content link anymore. When I click it, It will pop up "Can not retrieve properties at this time" ERROR. Is there any way I can make the edit content works again ? Or Is there better way to do this kind of thing ? Thank you folks Any help would be very appreciated ... Regards, Tjendarta Ho Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39535

    - Sharepoint Search Security Is there a way to override how sharepoint security handles security? Basically I have a web page where the content of the page is driven based off of query string parameters. I would like all possible combinations of parameters to be indexed. I have a page that lists out all of the possibilities with a link to the page with the corresponding query string parameters sent in. I want to know if it is possible to tell the search engine/protocol handler what users should have access to the pages based of what query string parameters are sent in? So then when user a searches for something they only see what they should instead of a link to a page in which they do not have access to the content for particular query string parameters. Let me know if more detail is needed. Erik Miller Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39530

    - Domain Change Hello All, I recently moved two WSS sites to a new domain, new database, and new WSS server in a front and backend configuration. I exported and then imported the config db and both content databases using the SQL Enterprise console , built a new Windows Sharepoint Services server, and then pointed the new WSS at the databases. One database came up with out issue, all I had to do is re-add the new domain accounts. The other however, will not allow me to connect at all and returns a "Can not upgrade the database". Also if I create a new database for this other site and then try to import the old data into it, it breaks the site. Please let me know if any of you have run into this issue. Much thanks, Ed Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39529

    - Problems with user name and a password Hello, I have a SharePoint 2003 and MS Office 2003 installed and configured with ISA server. Anytime I try to open a new Office 2003 document in Intranet environment (using ISA server), Office 2003 (Word 2003 for example) asks my user name and a password more of Intranet initial connexion. If I try to open an Office 2003 documents with a domain account (directly on IIS SharePoint server) it asks me not. I have tried to change the basic authentication with Windows integrated authentication but the result is the same. If an Office 2003 session still open, Word asks me not for an authentication if I try to open a second Office 2003 document. Can someone tell me why Office 2003 asks me anytime for authentication? It is an issue for this problem ? Thank you!

    - Needing to have a lookup field filter based on logged in user. I have an instance where I have 1 list and 1 document library. List 1 has Inventory tied to a User Information. What this does is allow us to move Inventory into "Warehouses"... These "Warehouses" are a direct lookup into the "User Information/Display Name". The list is then is reference by the below document library. The Document Library requires that the "Installer" assign List 1 to a document library field. Right now I have a lookup set to "lookup" information from List 1. Currently I see "All Items" in the lookup. Is there anyway that when a user logs in, that the user will only see the "List 1" items that are assigned to them, instead of "All Items" in the Document Library? I have a view setup so that the installer can see "My Warehouse". It works just fine and only show inventory assigned to them. Thank You in advance!

    - Accessing a SQL Server View in an Data View I have STS 2003 with all the latest patches and service packs. I also have a SQL Server with all the latest patches and service packs. I have created a data view in the past which returned information from a specific SQL Server table. When I go to create a data view and I look at the list of Tables, views or stored procedures, I only see stored procedures and tables. All of the tables are listed as Type table or view. But I only see views there. I originally thought I had a permissions issue, so I tried it as sa and that didn't change anything either. Is there something on my SQL Server that I need to change? Or is there another way that I should be doing this in Front Page (or elsewhere)? TIA for any ideas. Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39506

    - Editing some code Hey All, I have a wss page that has some webparts on it. What I have done is pulled off the webparts in frontpage and pasted each one to its own seperate webpage. When you navigate to a specific link you get a webpage with a single webpart on it. Now what i would like to do is to take away the hyperlinking contained inside the webpart itself. This is simply a standard list with an accompanying webpart view. When you click on the link it takes you to the actual list item. The real goal here is to prevent end users from seeing the WSS back end. By this i mean i really dont want people to even know (besides from the webpart) that the page was created using WSS. I figured, before i started this project, that i would be able to track down the hyperlink fairly easily but upon closer inspection it seems that the links are built dynamically. If you can suggest another way i am open to any ideas you guys and gals have. -- Thanks, Jonathan Finkbiner Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39505

    - Installing Webpart using Wppackager fails I've updated our windows server 2003 last week with servicepack 1. But now i'm unable to install a our webparts. We've created installers with wppackager and all of our installers did work until the servicepack 1 upgrade. I've tried to install on a different windows server 2003 ( clean install + sp1 ) and they do work. So i'm guessing it's a configuration issue, modified by installing servicepack 1. I really don't have a clue what's wrong. Some help would really be appreciated. Thanx in advance! -- Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39504

    - About Web part pages Hello, Because I want my own design and I don't want to mess up with WSS sites, I have taken the habit to create separate Web part pages to display information. My questions: - When I modify such Web part pages in FrontPage - for example to remove the top Navbar - does it unghost the site? - When I modify the page in SharePoint (using "Design this page"), it does not create a new version of the .aspx file. Does it mean that these changes are stored outside the page? Thanks! Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39485

    - Meeting Workspace Link Editing Simple request but probably impossible to solve. How do you edit the link between a meeting in a meeting workspace series and outlook calendar entry? More Detail: We have a meeting workspace that is a series of meetings going back over a year. It used basically as a minutes and decisions type of thing and works brilliantly. The MW was created in WSS but the series was created in Outlook and linked to the WSS. However in August we had to change the machine the WSS site was on (lease was up) and we migrated everything to the new server. It appeared to go very well and everything just carried on working. Unfortunately we changed the name of the server the site is on and this has lead to a big problem now. We needed to change some things with the series so the recurrence was changed slightly in outlook. Problem is the Link to the meeting workspace in outlook is burried somewhere and now none of the calendar entries link to their respective meetings in the series on WSS and any attempt to change anything is no longer reflected on the WSS as the changes are being sent to the old server name and location of the WSS and we are getting a bounce back saying it can't update the meeting workspace. So anyone know how I can fix this? I know someone is going to jump all over this and say it's an outlook issue but I checked the outlook groups on google first and they have woefully little on meeting workspaces and linking to them, other than how you do it. So any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39480

    - Is it possible to create a list with the features below? I need to create a list of news items with the following features: =B7 The author has the option of EITHER typing in an article OR entering a URL to another document/outside link =B7 The list has several fields, but to simplify, it has an article title and a business segment field that the list must be GROUPED BY. =B7 When the end user opens his screen, he sees a list grouped by business segment of article titles. =B7 When he clicks on the article title he is taken either to a view of the article or to a document / outside link. This functionality is very similar to the news functionality; but this list must be grouped. I have come very close to achieving this by: =B7 Adding a calculated field called articlelink in addition to a document/externalLink =B7 The calculation for articlelink: =3DIF([Document/External Link]=3D"","http://portalName/C18/InsideBusiness/Document%20Library/newsdev= read4.aspx?View=3D%7bD5C43636%2d0FE4%2d4B75%2dA6F6%2d224AD894319F%7d&Filter= Field1=3DID&FilterValue1=3D"&ID,[Document/External Link]) The articletitle field is a dynamic hyperlink field containing the result of the calculation for artclelink. It takes you to a view of the list containing just the article that was clicked on. The view is designated by the ID of the list item. The articlelink field has the above calculation in it. It works perfectly until we add a new item and due to the timing of the ID field assignment, the link is not fully updated. I discovered that this is a known problem. I am wondering if anyone has discovered a workaround to this problem or if anyone has any thoughts on how to accomplish my list objective above? Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39475

This is an attempt to prevent people from entering their weekly timesheet data more than a week after the day in question.

    - Install WSS, System Error 1057 I've really got a mess here. This may not be a SharePoint install problem, rather it might be Windows domain and firewall issues. I have a 2003 domain controller which also hosts SQL Server 2000 SP4. In the same subnet is another 2003 server that hosts WSS (call it Server1). This was installed with remotesql=yes, I also setup accounts for application pools, granted access in SQL Server. Great, the whole installation works as it should. Now I have to setup another WSS server (call it Server2) in a different subnet. This subnet is our DMZ and the port restrictions have been pretty severe. Sysadmin has opened all the ports we think we need for Active Directory and other Windows domain participation. Server2 used to have WSS with WMSDE (SQL desktop edition). Rather than screw around with modifying config, I removed WSS and WMSDE, then reinstalled WSS with remotesql=yes. Selected "Server Farm" option. Problem #1: it takes literally 3 to 5 minutes for the WSS Admin page to come up. Every time I go to the page "localhost:22234", it takes minutes. I KNOW this is wrong. Then when I try to setup Configurable admin application pool I get Error 1057 if I use a local account with Administrators privileges (and also IIS_WPG and the other, or whatver those are). If instead I use a domain account "MY_DOMAIN\whoever", I get a "cannot authenticate" or somethiing like that - I'm not convinced that our domain participation is fully functional, but does it matter at this stage? Problem #2: On Server1 (the good installtion) I see that SPTimer runs as "MY_DOMAIN\someone". On Server2 it used something else. So I tried to change SPTimer to same domain account, but get the "cannot authenticate" message. So then I tried a local account and now get 1057. So what can I deduce from all this? 1. Domain participation of Server2 is suspect. 2. It takes minutes to load localhost SharePoint admin page, does this have anything to do with domain participation? I can't see how. I'm lost, please help! -- ----- Glenn Nelson in Santa Cruz Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39447

    - Document Workspaces hi, We have the windows sharepoint version when purchased with microsoft small business server 2003. We have tried to use the document workspace functionalities so that a few users can work on a spreadsheet simultaneously. Howver, it seems that only one user can access a document at any one time, when any user tries to edit the file, it will say, the file is locked, can either read only or choose to notify the person who is currently using it. Any suggestions? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated! thanks Alan Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39432

    - Persist user information using only out-of-the-box web parts I am looking for a simple way to persistent a couple of pieces of user information (LoginID, ProductID, max. 4-5 pieces of information) on a WSS site. The end result is to produce a series of hyperlinks to a old backend database like this: Show All My Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=[loginID] Show All My Current Project Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=[loginID]&productID=[ProductID]. Using the standard XML web part, I tried to use a simple XML file, like this <UserData> <LoginID>57</LoginID> <ProductID>104</ProductID> </UserData> Then use an XSL to render the dynamic links into HTML like this: Show All My Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=57. Show All My Current Project Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=57&productID=104. This works fine for a single person. I wanted to have each user only change the XML portion of the web part, customize the userinformation to him/her. Thus, he would do this once, and we would persist the user's data in the XML portion of the web part. My limitations that I am working with: Current web pages, html pages, aspx etc and standard out of the box Web parts only. (basically anything I can do with the current SP interface) Can't create a custom web part (real easy to retrieve the user information in the tool pane). Can't change server configuration to enable serverState (don't have access to the server) Links generated will be over 260 characters, so I can't use the links web part. User specific data is not sensitive data, others could see this information if they had to (thinking of a SP List) Does anyone know of an easy way to embed user information into a team site somewhere? Thanks in advance. Tom Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39426

    - Customizing home page layout I am the administrator of a Sharepoint team website, thus I have the administrator role assigned to myself. When I try to go into customizing the home page layout and move some columns around I get this error (which is very vague, but I believe it's got something to do with security). Error Unable to change homepage layout An error occurred while trying to save the changes to the homepage. Please try again. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint. If I go to the server itself and log in as Administrator I can successfully change the layout. What can I do to make it possible to be able to change the web page layout myself? I have subwebs for the different departments, and the department heads are all administrator to their own pages - they need to be able to do this as well.

    - The page cannot be found page I've installed sharepoint services, been experiencing with it, been impressed with it. It has been working pretty good except for 2 errors I get and cannot find the cause. 1- When trying to upload a document, "the page cannot be found" page appears at the end. The document gets successfully uploaded. When I refresh the page i can see it has been added. 2- When trying to design a page, add web parts ... the same message appears. How can I get information to diagnose the source of these problems ? Any IIS logs, event logs, logs in the database ... ? Should I simply re-install ? Thank u for ur help !

    - Authentication from different trusted domain I have a WSS server in an external AD domain. I want to enable my internal AD Domain users to access sharepoint sites on the WSS server. I've set up the trust relationship between the two forests, and all is well. I have been able to assign a user from my internal domain to the user list for a Sharepoint site, and the user is able to log in to the site, but have not been able to assign a security group from my internal domain to the Sharepoint site. I can assign the group, but users in that group can not log in to the site. Is this working as designed? If I'm assigning rights to a sharepoint site from a different AD Domain, does it have to be at the user level, not at the group level? Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39407

    - File MetaData and Views Hello all, I want to organise our company's documents using metadata. My goals are: 1. Upload - Create documents into one or more Document Libraries (I don't mean multiple copies, just making clear that what follows will have to apply to more than one library). 2. Assign metadata to these documents, most of the time using lookup lists. Good examples are `Customer` metadata (i.e. a list of our customers and each document would be related to one - or more - customer) and document type (i.e. a document can be of type `Order`, while this could be a Word document, PDF etc). 3. Different libraries will have different `mandatory` metadata, while all libraries will share the same lookup lists (i.e. the `orders` library will require the `customer` metadata but `presentations` library will not require `customer` but `product` metadata and so on) 4. I want the users to be able to view those documents through (pre-designed) views, depending on the metadata, no matter the location (library) of the document. Now, I managed to get all 1,2 and 3 in a document library but I can't get to 4. There is now way I can see in one view documents from more than one library. Is this thing possible in STS? There is an obvious but un-acceptable solution: Put everything in one library. But there are several issues with this approach: a. Permissions. If I use one library, I have one permissions' set for all users and all documents. b. Efficiency. As I know, there is a limit on how many documents and folders (if I use folders, but I'd prefer not to) a library can hold. c. Mandatory fields. I will have to either require all metadata or leave all metadata optional. Any advice on how to accomplish 4 or how to address issues a,b,c will be most helpfull...

    - Weird Web Folder behavior - Cannot Copy <filename>: The File Exists Hi I'm having a strange problem with WSS Web Folders. Some of my users have problems copying documents to and from Web Folders (WebFldr.aspx view) - "Explorer View" . Whenever they try to copy, either using Ctrl+c and Ctrl+V, or use the menu "Copy this file" they consistently get the error: Cannot copy <filename>: The file exists. We're using kerberos authentication. When I check the event log it doesn't display any problems, and all authentications are kerberos based. What I find strange is the fact that it works for some users and not for others. A hint: It seems that the users with problems have upgraded from Office XP to 2003 - but even that is not 100% consistent. I tried to repair Office - didn't help. Help very much appreciated Morten Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39384

    - Disaster Recovery (SQL Server May Not Be Running) This isn't so much a question as a point I wanted to make as it helped us greatly. It's mostly to say thanks to Dustin Miller as I know he reads these and one of his posts was a HUGE help in us remedying the problem. We recenetly ran into a little problem during a system restore which was giving an error saying "SQL Server may not be running". In case any of you have this problem I figured I'd quickly share our experience with it: What Triggers It: When creating a site that has a list, and a post to that list. For example if you tried to create a Team Site - this site has an announcements list and a post created in that list. This triggers the problem - the "posting part". The reason: The reason is due to the accounts trying to create it. The 'underlying reason' is due to the SID (Security ID) getting mixxed up and not matching up. The solution: Dustin Miller had a script posted that would go down through and get the proper SID's for you to match up again. It worked wonders and we we able to get to the bottom of the problem using this method. So again, this is more to say thanks to Dustin. (don't know the URL of the script offhand but I'm sure he could shed some light on it) Tag: Sharepoint error in server log Tag: 39378

There must be a virtual server that is still "extended" with SharePoint;
that's the only reason WSS is trying to find it.

If all else fails, poking around the configuration database (specifically,
the virtualservers table) should help you find which site needs to be un-extended.

In extreme cases, you COULD do something unsupported, and modify the entry
in the configuration database for the now-dead virtual server (i.e. remove
it).
