    - Approve/Reject doesn't work with 25+ columns I have a three different SharePoint servers, with the exact same error message. Server A configuration Windows 2003 Server w/SP2 SQL Server Enterprise 2005 (inplace upgrade from v2000) WSS v3.0 (inplace upgrade from v2.0) Server B configuration Windows 2003 Server w/SP2 SQL Server Enterprise 2005 (inplace upgrade from v2000) WSS v3.0 SP1 (inplace upgrade from v2.0) Server C configuration Windows 2003 Server w/SP2 SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (Fresh Install) WSS v3.0 SP1 (Fresh Install) Here's my problem on each server, I have a Task List with 25+ Columns when I turn on Approve/Reject (under versioning) I receive the generic error 0x80040E14. I thought the KB article MS has would resolve the issue, but he database registers the correct WSS Version history. Just for grins I went through the process of forcing the upgrade on the DB, but only to now resolve. Again, remember all three servers have the same issue even the fresh install server. If I remove the columns to under 25 I can use the Approve/Reject versioning feature without the error. I have a call into MS. Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65747

    - WSS v3: Making a site list available to children site Hello, It looks that a site list has a limited scope to its site only but not to its parents nor children site. Is there anyway I can make a site list available to subsites (like a site column)? Thanks...a Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65742

    - Combine Task Lists Is there any way in WSS3 to have a view of any tasks that have been assigned to you, regardless of what Site they are in? I can't see it, and to be frank although we have Outlook 2007 and can link all the seperate list in, only having them combine in the To Do Pane is a little restrictive, to say the least!

    - Documents locked for editing after check-in We have several customers using WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 that have encountered a situation where files are locked for editing to the modified by user after the user checks the document back in. 1) User checks out document and edits 2) User checks document back in and closes Office application 3) User attempts to check document out again to make another edit (immediately or hours later) 4) User receives message that the file is locked by themselves The workaround that many customers have found is to ask an associate to check out the file and check it back in again. Amazingly, even though the first user receives a locked message, any other user with edit rights is able to check the file out and check it back in. Once this occurs, the original user can edit the file again. Does this sound familiar to anyone and is there a workaround or a fix? Thanks in advance, Jeff Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem.

    - Project Server 2007 Backup Hi - We have a Project Server 2007 installation (Project Web Access + Project Server) and need to get some good backups going. We've found the article that explains the usage of the stsadm tool, but we're unclear as to exactly what needs to be run to ensure a full fidelity backup. Running this command: stsadm -o backup -directory \\BACKUPLOCATION -backupmethod full seems to run through everything and create a good backup, but is this all we need? The article explains how to backup: 1) Server farm (the command above) 2) Web application 3) Database 4) Site collection Is backing up the full server farm getting everything, or do I need to go down and backup any Web Applications, Databases, or Site Collections in addition to the Server Farm? Thanks. -- -Paul Prewett Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65733

    - smigrate restore error 6553678 have read a couple of posts about this to no avail as yet. **Problem**: Setting up new server, migrating windows sharepoint services 2.0 site from old server to new server. did smigrate backup on old server, moved backup file to new server. set up new blank web site in inetmgr (IIS Manager), set host header value to [servername] expanded the virtual server using stsadm -o extendvs with ownerlogin as [domain]\Administrator and owneremail as sysadmin(me) email address then did smigrate.exe -r -w http://[servername]/ -f "C:\Path\To\Backup \File.wfp" get error 6553678 The Web server at "http://[serverame]/" does not appear to have Windows SharePoint Services installed. server in question is SBS2003 premium with all up-to-date service packs. Logged in as [domain]\Administrator **History**: Had previous success when I used existing "Default Website" (had to remove frontpage extensions first before expanding), without realising this was used for server manager backup/monitoring screens - oops! Re-installed "Company Intranet" and "Monitoring" from sbs2k3 installer, followed above methodology. worked fine (aside from bug with calling new web site "sharepoint" resulting in error regarding existing FP extensions when expanding the virtual server, even with blank virtual server!). Had to rename server (used gui method), DNS etc. seemed to update fine, but restored sharepoint would not work (alas, can't remember error), so removed site in inetmgr and started afresh as per above. All entries in DNS and STSConfig database point to new server name Sorry for long post, but rather complex issue and have spent best part of a day on it and am tearing my hair out!

    - Sharepoint Services SSEE data folder contents Hello, Does anyone have a good resource or can tell me what the different database files in the SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data folder represent? I installed WSS 3.0 with default settings and am trying to determine what is the standard environment vs how much is my content. When I run catastrophic backups the backup size is only about 100 MB,while the WSS_content databases are much larger, so I'm looking for some clarity. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

    - Helpdesk template - experts list Can anyone tell me, what the experts list made for? The first idea is to describe skills of IT employees and route SRs using predefined keywords. This would be great but that it has a very strange feature - inability to choose an expert from WSS users. What's the use of such design? Can I extend the list item definition so that it contain WSS user name? Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65729

    - issue relating to Wss2 to Wss3 upgrade My scenario is to upgrade Wss2.0 with WMSDE to Wss3.0 with SQL 2005 Express (install upgrade). If you ask the question why? I'm doing a NOTES migration and the only MS tool that works well is "Microsoft Application Transporter 2006 For Lotus Domino" and this is designed for Wss2. The later Transporter version tool does not bring across the desired results..eg metadata. I've tested these scenario of moving SP Designer and it works well on a Wss3.0 platforms and hence the best option is to migration from NOTES to Wss2.0 (SP2) and then to Wss3.0. Then using MS SharePoint Designer to move to a MOSS Farm. With the prescan, I have no issue in the logs, all looks well. The install of Wss3.0 (upgrade) runs smoothly. However when connecting to the previous sites that were on Wss2.0, I get "unable to get global configuration data". The Wss2.o install was a standard install, no customisation, etc. A vanilla install. I suspect that the issue is not being able to access the Database on SQL Express. But from what angle. Installing Wss2.0 gives no options for the WMSDE db. How would you recommend to fix this. Any suggestions please. Cheers, Sam S Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65724

If domain is example.local (on core2duo) what info should be supplied to indicate the sql server m/c? Could anyone please guide? Thanks Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65720

    - WSS FAQ additions and corrections - 25th February - 1st March 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 25th February to 1st March 2008 NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are not 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.

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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem.

    - 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. 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.

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?

    - 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem.

    - 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. 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. Tag: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem.

    - 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. 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: Upgrade WSS2 to WSS3 problem. Tag: 65591

Hi,

Currently running a wss2 standalone server (w2k3 sp2, sql2005). When i
try to do an inplace upgrade to wss3 (keeping the existing sql 2005
installation), the process seems to work fine, but i'm left with a new
content database, instead of my old content database. I just have a
new team site, instead of all my existing sites. Anyone have any
advice on how to get the upgrade to work properly?

One other piece of info, when I get to the server type screen in the
upgrade wizard, it only lets me select Web Front End.

I wish you could edit a post...lol. I tried the upgrade again last
night and here's some additional observation. The upgrade is
definitely installing another set of content/config databases into an
embedded sql instance (which is also being installed during the
upgrade process). Is it simply a matter that i need to "disconnect"
the new embedded sql instance and then reconnect my old content/config
db's? Dont these need to be "upgraded" at some point also?
