    - Is the "Project Server" smigrate the same as the normal one ? MS list two new downloads for Project Server - one is "Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Migration Tool" (i.e. smigrate) dated 29th June 2004. There's also the "Project Server 2003: Windows SharePoint Services Site Migration Tool" with the same date. 1. What's the difference 2. Is the first one (smigrate) a new version of smigrate that non-Project Server but WSS users can use OR the old smigrate with a new date and the words "Project Server" added a few times to the text to make it "theirs" ? This message is naturally for someone with better contacts in MS than I (or in MS themselves) ! P.S. There already was a "Project Server 2003: Windows SharePoint Services Site Migration Tool" with the same address but with a different date. Both are called ver 1.0 - are they the same ?????

    - INSTALL PROBLEM #1 I have been trying to get WSS 2.0 installed on a Windows 2003 Standard Server and I'm getting the same error message over and over on a couple of the servers when running the SharePoint Central Administrator after the installation appears to complete. This happens on two of four servers running a typical install with the following command line to get the data to be stored on the D:\ drive on the system. C:\Progra~1\STS2Se~1\setupsts.exe /datadir="D:\STSData\\" Server Error in '/' Application. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off".  <configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/> </system.web> </configuration> Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.  <configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web> </configuration> Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server?

    - Saving PDF Document to Website I am attempting to save a PDF document to a web site on a server running IIS6 and WSS. Application pools, configuration and content for the site are located on a second SQL2000 server. Before WSS I would simple click Save AS in Adobe Distiller, navigate to the site (inetPub\wwwroot\website) and store the document in the appropriate folder within the site. How do I accomplish this now that the content database is in SQL and is no longer in the inetpub/wwwroot folder? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - WSS vs SAP EP Collaboration Hi, I have been doing a comparative analysis of WSS and SAP Enterprise Portal's Collaboration module. I still have a few things unclear. Here's the list: 1. SharePoint sites can become unmanageable as they grow in number. Without the SharePoint Portal, it is cumbersome to manage the disconnected islands that are created. Is this true? 2. WSS lacks in document management capability comapred to SAP. Especially, WSS does not have a strong versioning functionality. I don't know the specifics regarding this statement, just quoting what I read. Is this a valid statement? 3. Searching in WSS is limited to site level. If I need to search across sites, I need the SharePoint Portal. Is this true? 4. And lastly, if you know how well (or otherwise) SAP integrates with MS Office and Windows Instant Messenger, please let me know. Any help on this will be deeply appreciated. Thanks, Santosh Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server? Tag: 13333

    - Interesting idea Yesterday while I was working with Visio 2003, specifically on an organization chart, I wondered about how I could integrate Visio with a WSS list. For instance, with Visio you can import user information from AD, Excel, but can you import from a WSS list? Anyone tried this? What drove me to think of this was a recent project I worked on with InfoPath SP1 and integrating that with WSS lists. Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server? Tag: 13270

    - Word template.doc not being found Hello - My WSS Sites don't seem to be integrating with Word out-of-the-box. I have a Word template.doc specified in a document library: Shared Documents/Forms/template.doc (which translates to: http://sharepoint/sites/cs/Shared% 20Documents/Forms/template.doc). When I click on "New Document" in this library, I get this error when Word comes up: "The document name or path not valid Try one or more of the following: * Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly * On the File Menu, click Open. Search for the file using this dialog box. (defaultsavelocation=0_47=http://sharepoi)" The cut-off at "sharepoi" makes it difficult to debug. Apparently I am missing template.doc or something. I can tell you that the server itself does not have Microsoft Word installed, but the client machine I am using where I get this error message does. Thanks very much!

    - add app as a service in Win 2003 I am trying to install an application as a service in Windows 2003. I have installed the Win 2003 Resource Kit (the freebee, without registering) and I still cannot figure out how to add a new service. I know in Win 2K you can use srvinstw.exe to add a service, but this exe doesn't seem exists in my version of Win 2003 Resource Kit. In Win 2K the srvinstw.exe opened up a wizard that allowed me to enter the desired info and it added the service into the registry, does Win 2003 have this ability? If not, any other ideas?

    - Issues List Customization I've setup an issues list to help in problem tracking. I want the "Requestor" field in the list to automatically be populated with the person that's logged in (LOGON_USER server variable). In addition I want people to be able to specify a different value. I've created the "Requestor" field as a choice allowing people to specify their own value but want users names populated from the server variable rather than the choices i've manually entered. I've gone down this road before.. i'm thinking I need to create a web part or something that contains the LOGON_USER value and than reference that value from within my list...

    - Struggling with DWTs I want to create a series of pages with identical navigation areas across the top & down the left hand side. Ideal use for DWTs, I thought. So I took the default.aspx page, edited it to strip out the bits I didn't want in the template, defined the editable regions & saved the dwt. I then created a new .aspx page & attached the previously created dwt file. Where there should be some WSS bits like the link to the portal, the Modify Shared Page menu, etc, I'm getting errors like: WebPartPages:SettingsLink - the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SettingsLink class does not derive from the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart class and therefore cannot be imported or used in a WebPartZone control. Huh? Has anyone else done any work with DWTs in WSS? If so, what steps did you take that I've missed out? Thanks. --Philip Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server? Tag: 13242

    - hiding "Site Settings" link from readers Is there a way to programatically hide the Site Settings link for users (like a Reader) that have no business seeing it? <rant>This is probably the thing I hate the most about Windows Sharepoint Services in SPS2003. I know there is a "My Information" section under Site Settings that any registered user should be able to access, but why show ALL of the options to users who don't have rights to perform those actions? Furthermore, why even let them access the pages for those actions. To most people it appears as if they are able to do things they shouldn't. Forutnately, people are denied access once they try to finalize their action.</rant> Microsoft, please fix this "feature" or tell us how to. Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server?

Both of these servers are already running Windows 2003 Server. Can anyone let me know a sure-fire way to do this? I've tried two things: (1) Using the SMIGRATE utility, which seems to be only for STS1.0. (2) Trying the steps in Microsoft's knowledge base article number 825536, which I thought would work, but for some reason, in FrontPage 2003, the option of Tools - Server is grayed out.

    - Document Library read or post errors. I had trouble beefore with document libraries and I had to reinstall all of WSS and then everything seemed to work. That is until I tried to figure out why our outside sales people coming in thru the VPN couldn't log onto the SharePoint site. I made two changes to the WSS site in IIS Admin. First I changed on the Document Security tab to Add Digest Authentication and then I checked Basic Authentication (Clear Text) When This didn't change anything I changed the settings back to just Integrated Windows Authentication only. Now no one (incl. Administrator) can open documents and no one can upload new documents etc. same issues as before. Config: Windows 2003 Web Edition, SQL 2000 running on a separate server (2003 Advanced) All updates applied. This is realllllly getting old and I need to find out why this is happening and a solution to fix it w/o reinstalling WSS and going thru a lengthy install process and wiping out information already uploaded to WSS site.

    - User Accounts and Email Background: We are currently running Sharepoint Team Services running in non-AD mode, on a 2k3 Server backended with a seperate SQL 2k box in a 2000 Domain (Mixed Mode ~200 Users soon to be ~1100+) with Office 2k3 clients and Exchange 5.5. Scenario: I have created a new list based on the Issues List that is temporarily replacing our current ticket system as we migrate our desktops to XP and Exchange server to 2k3. In this list we have two drop-down Lookup fields that uses the User Information Display Name for the "Resolved by" and "Assigned to" fields. In order for those fields to be populated properly I have found that either A) I need to manually create each user or B) When a user visits the site their account is created but they manually have to change their email address in their profile. Neither choice is ideal but it makes more sense for us to add the users as we all know not all users comply to tech requests. The problem though with creating new users manually, is that if I add them via Address book I need to then add 200 logon names manually. On the same note, if I add a domain group it only binds the authentication but does not break up the members into seperate accounts(understandable). Real Question 1: Is there a way to upload a list of users in bulk in Sharepoint that contains both Logon name and Email? (Are Exchange 2003 or AD 2k3 required?) Real Question 2: Does this seem logical to you (and will it be fixed) that each user has to be added to Sharepoint individually as Microsoft has always pushed to use group membership assignments over individual accounts. Ex. Why would I want to add each individual user just to have it populate a list when if it tied to AD I could just add the Domain Users group and assign the Reader rights to the group (it could pull the members from the group to populate the list) then create cross-site groups to manage users that need additional permissions to web parts and sites. Seems a little assanine to me and an administrative headache especially for companys with a lot of users. (Unless Sharepoint Portal Server fixes this issue, I'm surprised in the architecture) Believe me, we have Crystal Enterprise Server and this is a big enough headache for the same reason, at least CE though synchs with AD. Thank you in advance for your responses. Ryan Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server? Tag: 13185

    - Need help with folders Part of the company is setting up a document repository relating to the products we sell. I've created a doclib per product and each doclib has a similar folder structure within it in order to provide some sense of where different documents should be stored. As our sales people need leading by the hand, the contributors have asked for a description field to be added so that they can put an explanation of what the document contains. So far, so good - it is easy to do that and easy to get the description displayed alongside the file. The problem is that folders don't follow that model - you can only enter the folder name and that's that. Faced with the problem, the contributors have built the description into the folder name so you end up with something like: Presentations - includes customer presentations and presentations for internal use only, these will be clearly labelled. It looks OK on the screen but the URLs are getting long and, guess what, you get to the point where you can't submit a file because the total length has exceeded the maximum. Any suggestions on whether or not I can work around this limitation of folders & get a description attribute to be displayed alongside them? --Philip Tag: extending virutal directory vss virtual server?
