    - Problem with command line Hello All I have an existing intranet and am trying to follow the instructions in setting up intranet/extranet. Using the http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/stsc04.mspx link Everything goes ok until I get to the point where I have to type in the following: c:\folder\setupsts.exe remotesql=yes to install SharePoint on the extranet virtual server (I used STSV2.exe and it intalled the files to the correct location) - One thing to note is that my original installation is older than the download from MicroSoft site. The new download, says that it will upgrade the installation but nothing seems to happen. I then reinstalled my older version, which works but with out the remotesql=yes bit. Any ideas, before I pull ALL my hair out! thanks Jackie Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13410

    - WSS to WSS Migration Issue I am doing a migration of a WSS Site from one server to another (two physical servers). I used the smigrate to backup to the .fwp file, worked fine. When I did a restore the users that were part of the original site were no on the new server/site, the content restored fine. The users were not local but part of a domain. Also I used smigrate to successfully migrate other site, these were how STS sites not WSS sites. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance... /Pj Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13406

    - SharePoint on a Domain Controller Hi There, I've been struggling trying to install WSS on one of our servers, a Domain Controller. I get so far in the installation and it stops. In the Event Viewer I see the error 11708 - stating : Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Installation operation failed. The only difference between this server and the others I have successfully installed on is that this server is a Domain Controller. I read that it is possible to install WSS on a DC, so I'm not sure what the issue is. If anyone has any input into this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

    - smigrate fails with error:The language is not supported on the server Hello all, a customer wants us to do the hosting of his sharepoint site. He sent us the site backup file (using stsadm.exe) but the restore was not possible because our sps is setup in active directory account creation mode. Then, he sent us the backup files (.fwp) using smigrate.exe. When we try to restore we get an error: The language is not supported on the server. We have setup the english version of sharepoint services and applied the language template pack for greek. Could this error occur because he has installed the greek version of sharepoint services in his organixation? Is there a workaround other than reinstalling the greek sharepoint version?

    - Metainfo Frontpage RPC putdocument Hi There, I'm building a batch import program for documents to Sharepoint. I've been to TechEd A'dam 2004 and there they said for these kind of tasks you have to use the Frontpage RPC. This seems to work, but i also have custom fields in the document library. I can fill them using the metaInfo option. This is my commandline: fpsepublish putdoc "http://server/document library/document.tif" "c:\temp\document.tif" "Category;SW|A;Name;SW|Test;Title;SW|Testing;Description;SW|Testing 123" The documents gets added to the library, but not all of the custom fields are filled. I've tried several things and only the fields "Category" and "Title" get filed. Isn't this strange? What am i doing wrong??? I really need to get this work, so i hope you have some info! The code of the MS example project: public void PutDocument(string uri, string fileName, string metaInfo) { Uri myUri = new Uri(uri); string webUrl, fileUrl; UrlToWebUrl(uri, out webUrl, out fileUrl); if (null == metaInfo) metaInfo = ""; if (!File.Exists(fileName)) throw new Exception("Could not find file" + fileName); string postBody = String.Format( "method=put+document&service_name=&document=[document_name={0};meta_info=[{1 }]]&put_option=overwrite&comment=&keep_checked_out=false\n", HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fileUrl), metaInfo); ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding(); MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); stream.Write(encoding.GetBytes(postBody), 0, postBody.Length); FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(fileName); byte[] b = new byte[4096]; while (fs.Read(b, 0, b.Length) > 0) { stream.Write(b, 0, b.Length); } fs.Close(); SendRequest(myUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + webUrl + "/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll", stream.GetBuffer(), stream.Length); stream.Close(); } Hope to hear from you guys soon!

    - Broken links after site move or rename I create a site called www.myserver.com/collection1/level1, under which I create a sub-site called level2 and create a link to it on the opening page of level1. First off, I use STSADM to rename level2 to sublevel2. Navigating through Manage sites and worksplaces is fine but the link is broken as it still refers to level1/level2. Now I backup collection1 and restore it as collection2 and ALL of the links are broken. I use FrontPage 2003 to search for references so that I can repair the brokenv links but I can't find them and/or I an not suffciently expert on FP2003 to undertake the work. As I am about to do this for real on 2 BIG site collections, anyone got any advice of the mass correction of such broken links? Tim T. Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13395

    - 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.

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.

    - 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: implementing document management Tag: 13333

    - 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!

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... Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure someone has attempted to tackle this type of scenario. Sincerley, Brad Dridi Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13243

    - 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: implementing document management Tag: 13242

    - Summary View sort order woes I have the stnadard Links web part. I can not get the items in that list to be ordered as I need them when shown in "Summary View". I added a field called Sort Order where I put a 1-5 in then sorted by that field. But this only shows up when you go into the Links.aspx page itself. In the Web part Views of the Links box they wont sort, stay in order. Any ideas? Todd Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13237

    - 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: implementing document management Tag: 13235

    - Listing only documents created by people in your groups Is this possible using a document library? I want to have a shared document library linked in the home page of my Intranet. Whenever a user access this library only his documents or the ones created by people that share a group with the user should be visible. I can't seem to find a way to do this without programming a webpart. Can it be done? JoSE ==== Tag: implementing document management Tag: 13229

Imho the question is far too wide.

One of the main functions of a WSS site is document management so therefore
how to implement document management is how to implement WSS.

There is plenty of introductory (and more detailed) material linked to from
the WSS FAQ site's "Useful Documents" / MS Articles / Things to Start With
(some such name) section. Start by reading some of them.
