    - How to allow exe's to be uploaded? Hello, We want to put some of our programs that we have created on the wss so other remote divisions can get them. When we try to upload the exe's it says the file type is not allowed. Where can we change this? Can we set it up to where only a specific document library can except exe's and the others cannot? Thanks in advance. John Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3227

    - Documents with & in their name I have noticed that I am not allowed to upload a document with a '&' in the name in WSS (such as: Help & Support.doc). I tested with STS and I was able to upload a document with a '&'in the name. The & is changed into a %26 in the string that is returned with STS when I access the document. Is this yet another thing that doesn't work with WSS that did with STS? D.Glenn Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3223

    - More on Upgrade of WSS beta Hi You may remember I was here before christmas (happy new you to you all) regarding a WSS site I had been running on the beta version and wanted to upgrade to the release version. I tried the upgrade on a fairly basic site at home and it has gone wrong and now will not work. I think the issue was that I ran the exe without and switches and my guess is that it was looking for a default database instance rather than the sharepoint instance i have ended up with from upgrading MSDE to SQL 2000 sp3. I dont remember getting any option once I had run the exe so my question is: can this be run from the cmd prompt with a pointer to the correct db, if so how please. I hope to re run the upgrade in this way to fix the problem which was a database config error toward the end of the upgrade process. Many thanks Mark Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3221

    - Info - WSS article - for laughs only http://www.commodore.ca/misc/misc/wss/windows_sharepoint_services.htm is an article called "Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Windows SharePoint Services Explained" Newsgroup users may want to read this if only for laughs (starting at that title of course) Here's a sample "Windows SharePoint Team Services (often referred to by MS staff as WSS 1.0 or STS) was a product that MS made available in 2002 and early 2003. It was unstable, very limited in functionality and (I think) highly unpopular. WSS1.0 has become MS Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003." The last sentence is complete nonsense of course. I have never heard anyone refer to STS as WSS 1.0; it was made available in 2001; it was not unstable (I've had a production site running for 21 months and it has never crashed); not *very* limited (although of course WSS has more functionality); and it wasn't highly unpopular just highly unknown. [Was it ever called "*Windows* Sharepoint Team Services"?] I'll leave it to you all (the masochists among you) to find all the other errors that are no doubt there.

    - Cannot add webpart I set up a meeting subsite. I then clicked on the x for the tasks webpart. Oops. I cannot recover from this problem. I thought, at first, that I had merely deleted that webpart from the tasks homepage and could add it back. I couldn't find a way to do so. I eventually saw that "modify site content" page included several, by now, tasks webparts (tasks, tasks1, etc). Each time I had tried to add a new tasks webpart. I got a complaint of an error. I now have, according to "modify site content" one tasks webpart. How can I bring back the tasks section to be visible on the home page? Finally, how do I change the view of this webpart such that all tasks are visible throughout the meeting series? thanks Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3200

    - Incorrect error message on password change (AD) (Sorry for re-posting this, but no one answered the first time, and the original is probably older than anyone is going to look at.) We are running WSS in AD Account Creation mode. When a user changes his/her password through the Site Settings > Update my information > Change password page, the following error is sometimes generated: Error Error setting password for user account "DOMAIN\account". The password must be at least 7 characters, must contain capitals, numerals, or punctuation; and cannot contain the account or full name. Enter a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. The problem is, the password requirement is 8 characters, not 7. My first preference is to change the error message to say 8 instead of 7. Optionally, I can change the requirement to 7 characters (which I don't really want to do), but I'm not sure how to do that. Can I just change the Windows Security Policy on the AD domain controller? TIA. Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3198

    - Multiple line field in Document Libraries I have noticed a difference in behavior between the multiple line fields of a document library andother lists. In a document library, I am not allowed to save a record which has more then 255 characters of text in a multi line field. I have tried this on several document libraries on multiple servers. There seems to be no limit in the amount of text you can have in a multiple line field in other types of lists. I have also noticed that when adding or modifying a multiple line field in a document library, there is no choice to allow rich text editing. That choice exists in the properties in other lists. Can anyone confirm this behavior, and explain why there is this limit? I want to enable users the ability add their comments on a particular document, and this will severely limit that ability.

I have it set to "Default" in the Miscellaneous section of the options for the web part and the cache time-out setting is 0 by default. What does this mean in practice? .... is the server downloading the RSS file every time the page is requested, or does it mean something else......

    - Installing DC after WSS has been installed means trouble ? Hello people, First of all: a very happy 2004 to you all ! Now, I had a Windows 2003 server installed with WSS on SQL 2000 working just fine (all on the same machine, together with IIS). For some specific reasons, I had to upgrade the machine and install active directory (make it a DC) at a later stage. This installation has "broken down" my WSS and I am having some trouble to get it back on line. I first got the "Service Unavailable" errors and cured this by selecting the right application pool on the virtual server in IIS (why was this changed during the DC-installation ?). However, once I go to my WSS home page, I always get a "You are not authorized to view this page" error, even if I'm loged on as the administrator on the server itself. I think the connection between WSS and SQL or at least the rights of the account that connects to the SQL-server got messed up somewhere along the road, since the initial settings in the "set configuration database server" of my WSS administration pages now gives me an "create database permission denied" error. I think I should be able to solve this by adding an account to the SQL WSS database (NT Authority/Network account ?) and set the correct rights to it, but I don't want to mess around with this before I'm sure. Also, if this is the case indeed, why do I need to do this ? Should I had the DC installed before installing SQL/WSS/DC/IIS ? If so, what would be the best thing to get this up-and-running ? I have no problem re-installing one of the above applications it this solves the problem, rather than messing around with accounts and maybe forgetting a couple of settings... Many thanks in advance for your advice ! Regards, Benoit. Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3100

    - reinstating mssql$sharepoint service I still have the problem from my original post (12/31/03 - can't connect to configuration database), and I'm wondering if (part of?) the problem is that I don't have the mssql$sharepoint service installed. However - If I attempt to reinstall msde, I get an invalid instance name error. I know that I can specify the instance name on the command line, but when I run setup with INSTANCENAME=SHAREPOINT, setup runs *almost* to completion, then silently fails. The application logs just say that installation failed with no additional information. Am I on the right path here. I've done nothing but read articles and try various things out for the last day and a half, but I'm no closer now than I was when I got into this mess. I'm installing sql server 2000 sp3 on this machine now, because I've tried everything else I can think of, and I'm hoping that will give me some more options. If anyone missed my original post, here's the summary: 1) Sharepoint was working great 2) I accidentally uninstalled msde 3) I tried reinstalling sharepoint (choosing repair) 4) Access requests result in "configuration database not found) The database is still there - I just don't know how to get them connected. If I attempt to access the server through the sharepoint admin site, I get an error that "the virtual server referenced here is not in the configuration database" - but I don't know how to get it there, nor do I know if it's the same or different problem.

In any case, my POST is returning "(404) not found", a very cryptic and un-useful message if ever I saw one. Does anybody have experience with this stuff? A useful URL pointer, some sample code, perhaps? thanks. Note the part you need to remove in my email if you reply. Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3057

    - Drawing Graphs in a WebPart Hi Has anyone got an example of drawing a simple graph in a webpart, based on an x value for a number of items? I know we could use the Office webparts, but for a number of reasons this isn't an option for us. I am assuming it is possible to use the Drawing namespace and somehow draw into the webpart's canvas? Having only used renderWebpart to output text, I am not sure where to start. Anyone help a beginner ? Thanks Phil Tag: Using AD Creation Mode User Accounts across multilple sites Tag: 3048

    - SharePoint recovery from MSDE mdf and ldf files. Is there a way that I can recover my SharePoint virtual servers... content from my MSDE mdf and ldf files? Lets pretend that something went horridly wrong and one of my servers died and all I have is a tape backup. Any step by step instructions would be apreciated.

In SPS2 AD Creation Mode and host header , user accounts can not be used
across sites when configured for Multiple Host Names Deployment (-HH). This
is creating a raft of accounts for users who use several sites. SP stores
the account-site mappings in its content DB. Is there anyway that one can
tweek the DB, albeit unsupported, to allow the same account to be use for
different sites, i.e. Joe.User for www.test.com and www.foo.com?
Thanks,
Mike

No you cannot. This is by design.

Okay. Well we have got it working w/ some tweaks to the DB, although we're
concerned about DB integrity. Has anyone seen DB schema definitions defined
for v2?
Thanks,
Mike
