    - Agenda ID or ID Column - How to restart to 1 in a Recurring Meeting I am using SharePoint 3.0 as an Admin or with Full Control. I have a Meeting workspace with an agenda for a recurring meeting that was created in Outlook 2003. I would like to add a column to the Agenda list that allows for restarting the Agenda Items to number at each instance of the meeting. For example, I can use the ID column, but the IDs just keep tallying up; 1, 2 and 3 in meeting one. 3, 4 and 5 in meeting two, and so on. How do I create a column so when I go to meeting three, the agenda items restart to 1, 2, 3, etc instead of 6, 7, 8. Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67744

    - bug with custom list from site collection template Hi. I have a problem. Then I create a site collection from template I can't make my custom list web part to appear in my favourite view. Here is my sequence: 1. Create custom list 2. Add some columns. 3. Make a custom view with some number of columns. 4. Add a custom list web part on home page. 5. Change custom list web part and select my custom view. 6. Save site collection as a template. 7. Create site collection from template. And I see my custom list, but with only one column - "Name". It is not the view that is in the template. Yes. The custom view exists and I can change it manually on every site I create, but it is very strange behavior for Sharepoint. What's the trick?

    - Authentication: the Torture Never Stops I'm really not having any luck designing authentication for my sharepoint site: we have a wss 3.0 site for our intranet and then subsites for each of our customers to log into and view team disscussions and documents. The goal is for internal users to be able to open the intranet site using domain credentials and without needing to give a username and password. On the outside I would like customers to be able to come in and just give username and password. Additionally when opening documents I don't want any authentication dialog boxes to come up. After alot of work, the internal portion is working - employees can open IE and get into their resources without re-entering a username and password. They cannot get where they don't belong. However, when customers try to login remotely (http over the inet) they are being required to give their username in a <domain name>\<username> format. Security is set up: IIS - Integrated Windows and Digest Authentication. Sharepoint through Site Admin - IIS has Integrated Windows with NTLM and Type is Windows. IE trusts the site(s). MVP Todd Klindt earlier suggested I use Basic Authentication, but I had a problem with opening documents (security prompt) which KB 871155 had me uncheck Basic in sharepoint Central Admin. Also, it's clear text and I didn't really want to use SSL, so I chose Digest Authentication which I understood to be kind of the same but secure. Just to make things more fun the whole shooting match has already been pushed into production, so I am limited as to how much boat rocking I can do... Thanks for plowing through all that!

    - Search within Documents WSS 3.0 - SQL 2005 Hello, I am running WSS 3.0 with SQL 2005 on a separate server. I would like WSS to return the results if it finds my search term inside the document. I thought this work when I had installed it in a previous life, but I am wondering if I forgot to enable something on this install. If I am searching for the word test1 and the word test1 appears in doc1.docx, doc2.docx, and doc3.docx, then I would like the results to be doc1.docx, doc2.docx, and doc3.docx. The search itself is working if I search for doc1, I get doc1.docx returned. Please let me know what I should look at.

    - Issues with directory management services after installing After installing the July Infrastructure Updates for MOSS, our server has been having issues with the Directory Management Service. We originally set up Incoming E-Mail on the MOSS server using the SharePoint Directory Management Service for creating groups in Active Directory. This has been working perfectly in conjunction with our Exchange 2007 server and we've been managing group memberships through MOSS web interface. Unfortunately it seems the WSS Infrastructure Update has broken this functionality. Now when approving the creation of Distribution Groups, the group itself is created and the email address is attached, however the users are never added to the group in Active Directory. Adding a user to the SharePoint Group results in the following error when the Directory Service tries to make the change in Active Directory (see below for a log file extract) : The Directory Management Service has reported an error which is not recognized by Windows SharePoint Services. No other changes have been made to the system, or to the permissions or structure of Active Directory. I have been able to recreate this scenario in the same network environment using a development VM - creating Distribution Groups works fine until the WSS Infrastructure Update is loaded. Anyone else experienced this problem?

    - logon screen constantly popping I have a sharepoint server using Digest Authentication for Windows Servers. I am using this so that users do not have to enter their username in a <domain.name>\<username> format and it is more secure than basic authentication. The goal is to have people on the LAN logged in using domain accounts to automatically login when they try to open sharepoint. Failing that, if they could just login once.

    - Web site pages? Hello: We have a client that uses a financial application called Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 that integrates with a Sharepoint-based piece called Business Portal. Since it cannot be done in Business Portal and since the client is not on Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server, we need to develop a web part or page in Sharepoint where the customer's web site is pulled from the accounting application and displayed as a URL that is "clickable" in Sharepoint/Business Portal. Ideally, too, it would be good to have a "Map" feature similar where you can link directly to map software so the address plugs in directly and you can pull up directions to the customer site. Any thoughts on developing this in Sharepoint? childofthe1980s Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67649

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) (This is also posted to the WSS newsgroup at microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices - web access via http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/server/sharepoint.mspx) (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 3rd - 9th August 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.

    - How do you change the e-mail address of an email enabled list? I am trying to change the e-mail address of a list, but when I try to do so (through "Incoming e-Mail Settings" on the Document Library Settings page), it just gives me an error ("Error in the application"). In the fine tradition of MS error-message-speak, it's one of the best. Some details: - I am trying to reuse an address that had previously been assigned to another list. - I removed the contact that had been created in AD/Exchange 2007 for the list that previously owned the e-mail address - I have searched through AD and the address does not exist (both through dsa.msc and by dumping all e-mail addresses using LDIF) - I checked the tables in the Sharepoint database and I only see "valid" e-mail addresses. I think it is choking on the re-assignment because it "sees" the address somewhere else, but I'm buggered if I can find it. Anyone have any ideas or work arounds? Thanks....

    - WSS 3.0 sends new subscription alert, but no further alerts wss 3.0; windows server 2003 farm (1 web front end, 1 database backend) i'm sure this issue is not SMTP. i have several other applications using my smtp server without problem. the issue is that sharepoint is not generating alerts. when a user subscribes to a list, the initial "you have successfully created an alert" email is generated and received by the user. however, users receive no further alerts when the list is updated, even if the subscription is set to send the alert immediately. this problem arose a few months ago... just after i applied SP1 to wss 3.0. in fact, i would say it was working before SP1 and stopped working after it was installed. i have tried various ways to track down the problem, but i can't find an error anywhere... so i have no clue what the problem is. what i have tried: 1. enable smtp logging. logs show smtp never receives mail from sharepoint (i.e. nothing happens because nothing is given to smtp from sharepoint) 2. turn up sharepoint logging... i can see where i add a new item to the list... but never see the logging for an email being generated... and there's no error either. 3. no errors in event viewer. 4. reboot sharepoint server. no change 5. check timer job definitions. one exists for immediate alerts, and shows last run time that is recent. i'm at a loss. ideas? thanks.

    - Maintain Groups/Rights - Site Template or Site Definition Hello all, I have created a number of site templates in the past to primarily maintain look and feel and blindly thought that if I created some custom groups and some folders in the Shared Documents with custom permissions that when I saved my template checking the 'Include Content Box", it would save those. Obviously not the case as when I imported the site, I did have my folders in the Shared Documents, but none of the groups or rights. I had done some looking around and it appears that maybe I need to create a new site definition instead. I am looking 1) confirmation on that and 2) a link to a good walkthrough Thanks, Greg Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67633

    - How to determine which Sharepoint I'm running? Hello all, I'm having a variety of problems managing my Sharepoint sites. I'm sure a lot of them stem from not knowing what services I'm running, or at the very least, this complicates researching answers. I've asked around my organization, but no one seems to know for sure and guesses have been contradictory. How do I determine whether I'm running WSS 2.0 or 3.0, and whether I'm running Sharepoint 2003, 2007, or neither? For what it's worth, my suspicion is that we're running WSS 2.0 and no MOSS at all, if that's possible. Thanks Shae Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67622

    - Subsite Menu Tab and Shared Documents Folder Hello all, Couple questions that came up from after showing one of our WSS 3.0 sites. I understand why things are the way they are within WSS 3.0, but since these questions came up. I thought I would ask. 1) A subsite was created and the option was chosen to show it as part of the Top Menu (as a tab). The question was, is it possible to only show the tab if you have access to the site. I am guessing I would have to do some "precheck" when the parent site loads then hide it via code if the currently logged in user is not a part of the subsite. 2) When a user does not have access to a directory in the shared documents area, then directory is not visible to the user. Is it possible to show all the directories then if a user clicks on, give them an access denied message? Without having to give them rights at the folder level and removing all their rights to the files. Again, I understand why it is the way and I like it the way it is, but I said I would ask. Thanks, Greg Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67616

    - indicator bar or warning on large downloads? Is it possible and reasonable to customize the document library webpart to pop up a static "downloading" indicator or panel when a document is clicked to open, and then have it disappear when the document arrives/opens? We use WSS 3.0 for extranet doc library for client projects. We store some documents that are larger (5-30mb). We frequently hear from outside users that the site feels slow at times because after they click on a document to open there is no indication anything is happening until 30 seconds or 2 minutes later when a pdf suddenly opens on their screen. I have had one developer tell me this is impossible and I just wanted to see if anyone on this forum was aware of any approach or work around that could accomplish this.

    - Workflow Tasks Permisson Hello, I've created a Workflow using Sharepoint designer. The list on which the workflow is based has a field called "Manager" (its a SPUser type field). The first step in the workflow is a "Collect Data from User" task that gets some info from The "Manager". This puts an Item in the Workflow Tasks list and sends an email to the "Manager". When the manger follows the link in the email to Update the task, the Page does not display the Edit Button Because the Manager toes not have permissions on the Workflow Tasks list. By default the Workflow Tasks list has security set to "restricted Read" for All POrtal USers. If I grant All Portal Users Contribute security to the Workflow tasks list, then he can edit his Items, as well as everyone elses. I would think that Item level Security shjould be set up on the Workflow Tasks list so that only the person or group the task was Assigned To could edit it. Could someone explain t9o me how this is supposed to work? Thanks, Tag: Is it possible to add column into the SPList that can not have Tag: 67605

    - new site collections return no search results we've noticed that newly created site collections are not returning any search results (WSS 3.0 SP1). I've created a couple new ones manually and added some content, but search isn't returning any results. These site collections are in existing Web applications (I've tried creating new collections in two separate web apps -same result) Search is working on the existing site collections - even for newly added content. I can't find any errors that I think are related in the event log or ULS log. any suggestions? Search has been working reliably for months now. the only change I've made recently is installation of SP1 a couple of weeks ago. The search database is about 1GB in size, in the event that matters. Also, a separate server in the farm does the indexing. The databases are stored in a separate SQL 2005 server (not on a WSS server).

    - sending an alert when a date has passed Hi, I'm a novice, working with Microsoft Sharepoint 2007. I've created a list to monitor the tasks my group has. I've entered a number of fields to be filled in the task list, such as "description", "date created", "responsiblity of" and so on. I also have a field entitled "due date" which is the date by which the task must be completed. I would like to know if there's an option of sending an alert to the people in the group (preferably to the person in charge of the task) either the date before the due date or on the day itself. Is it possible? If so, I would appreciate it if you could try to explain as clearly as possible how I can do it, or direct me to an appropriate tutorial on the subject. Thanks!

    - How do I move a list while keeping other lists connected that have I know that you can save a list and its content as a template and then recreate that list in another site. However, I need to actually move the list itself so that other lists that link to it remain connected. If I simply create a new list, I would then need to update the other list items to point to the new list instead of the old list. Obviously this would be a pain as I would need to update some 600+ items to point to the new list. Any suggestions as to other ways to physically move a list from one site to another?

Hi Karen,

Of course you must associate an event handler to the specific SharePoint
list that checks the available list items.
