    - Append task using Access query What is the secret to appending the Assigned To: field of a task? I have an Access append query that is successfully appending everything else to a task list except for the Assigned To: field. I tried using the UserInfo ID and also the name string. Neither has worked. I get no error. Everything else posts but the Assigned To: is left blank. Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67367

    - MachineName\UserName transfer on restore? I am restoring a client's database from the test environment to the production environment. The server names are completely different. However, all the usernames include the servername of the test server. I restored the WSS3.0 site successfully, but all my SharePoint users still have the old machine name in front of their username. Is there some global update I can do to replace the old machine name with the new one? (Crossing fingers hoping for an easy way to get this done). Thanks in advance!

    - Use the parent Quick Launch on a subsite after it has been built? I am trying to figure out how to tell a subsite that I already created to use the quick links from its parent site. When I set up the new site, I chose the 'don't inherit quick links' option - but now I want to. Is there a way to do it? Or do I need to go through all the subsites and manually re-enter all the links? Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67361

    - Dataview Problems with WSS Library I have a WSS 3.0 site that has 9 subsites, each with its own document libraries. I have been asked to set up a 10th site that contains, among other things, a dataview listing of the files in a library on site2. The problem is that this library uses folders, with each top folder having two or more subfolders. In the dataview that Sharepoint Designer gives me, I can only list the top folders. The user would like to see a sorted files-only list (the folders should not be shown), much like one of the views he has set up in the library itself. Is this possible? I have tried making the files-only view in the library the default view, but that does not seem to change how sharepoint creates the dataview. I tried setting the Properties of the Data Source to "Files Only", but that does not change anything. I am not a programmer, and the only tool at my disposal is Sharepoint Designer. Any ideas? hutch Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67359

    - Custom parts or other software to enable more granular permissions? Does anyone know of a custom webpart or other product that would provide administrators more granular control over permission levels in WSS 3.0? Each specific permission option often contains multiple functions, for example the List Permission for: "Manage Lists - Create and delete lists, add or remove columns in a list, and add or remove public views of a list." I'd like to able to break this down and permit a user to add or remove public views of a list but NOT create/delete lists or add/remove columns. I'd love to find something that gives me the ability to slice and dice each component of the permissions as I need to. Any ideas? Does such a tool exist? Thanks Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67358

    - Windows Sharepoint Service 3.0 Authentication and encryption Hi, Is anyone using authentication methods other than Windows authentication for their WSS 3/MOSS implemention? I'm thinking smart cards, certificates and things like that. Also, does anyone know if you can have different web applications in WSS 3/MOSS using different authentication methods, e.g. a standard site collection using ordinary windows auth and another more secure collection requiring the use of a smart card or something similar? Just one more, is there some way of encrypting the documents in a Sharepoint SQL server database so that database users would just get junk if they tried to extract a document record from the DB but Sharepoint can retrieve and decrypt the data using a certificate or something similar? Thanks! Sean Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67356

    - Add 100 GB of Data I am hoping this is the right place to ask, if not please point me in the correct direction. I am currently running a Windows 2003 server and WSS 3.0. Honeslty I can't remember how big the current Hard Drive config is, but that is irrelevant. I have to add 100 GB of data to the site and I don't have that much room. What is the best practices for doing this. Should I purchase another server and set up a portal? Set up a NAS device, and get WSS to use that drive? I need some help here please. Thanks in advance.

    - Usage analysis processing is not running I'm having trouble with Site Usage Report in WSS3 SP1. In the Site Settings, the Site usage report says "A usage report is not available for this site and bla-bla". While I have configured "Enable logging" and "Enable usage analysis processing" in the "Central Administration > Operations > Usage Analysis Processing". I also see the job definition in the Timer Job Definitions area. stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-usage-analysis -url http://... returns <Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 1 minutes between 0 and 59" /> however nothing happens, except the following in the log file OWSTIMER.EXE (0x12734) Unknown SPRequest error occurred. More information: 0x80070005 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x12734) Unexpected ERROR: Failed invoking job id {2660A947-B893-450C-9FA0-ABC6FC6EAB82} Any ideas? I tried to google and don't find anything useful so far. I checked rights on \LOG directory for WSS_WPG account - OK, I added this account to C:\windows\tasks (read-write). Tried to check the job programmatically using foreach (SPJobDefinition job in site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions) { if (job.Title == "Usage Analysis") { Console.WriteLine("IsDisabled=" + job.IsDisabled); Console.WriteLine("LastRunTime=" + job.LastRunTime.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("Status=" + job.Status); Console.WriteLine("Schedule=" + job.Schedule.GetType().ToString().Remove(0, 21)); Console.WriteLine("NextOccurrence=" + job.Schedule.NextOccurrence(DateTime.Now).ToString()); job.Execute(site.ContentDatabase.Id); } } that returns following IsDisabled=False LastRunTime=01.01.0001 00:00:00 Status=Online Schedule=SPMinuteSchedule NextOccurrence=14.07.2008 15:02:39 but as you see the LastRunTime value is 01.01.0001 00:00:00 that means it was never executed... Any help would be much appreciated, Alexey Smirnov [MVP] Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67342

    - Web Part Error: This page has encountered a critical error. Hi, I have problem with WSS v.3 migration from one farm to another. Old farm uses Windows Web Server 2008 x64 as frontend and Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x86 with SQL Server 2005 SP2 x86 as backend. The new farm uses Windows Server 2008 x64 as front end and Windows Server 2008 x64 with SQL 2005 SP2 x64 as backend. For migration I use Backup and Restore through SharePoint Central Administration Web. Both farms are installed in Manual account creation mode. I have tested new farm, if I create new WSS Application on it it works just fine. I performed restore through SharePoint Central Administration on new farm and it finished without errors, also I made iisreset /noforce after restoration. When I navigate to restored website I get the same error on every list and main page: Web Part Error: This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists. I have tried to restore several different WSS sites from the old farm, but error is the same on all of them. Any ideas, where to search for the root of this problem? Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67340

    - Maintaining hierarchy Dear colleagues, In a custom list; I would like to implement a directory that may have the following options: 1.) Categories may contain subcategories and so on. 2.) An item may belong to more than one category or sub-category. For example: If Microsoft company would be included in the directory and we have some categories such as: 1. IT 1.1 Software 1.2 Hardware 2. Finance 3. Research and assuming we would like to add Microsoft web site to the directory and that it belongs to (1. IT), (1.1 Software), (1.2 Hardware) and (3. Research), figuring out a suitable approach causes me headache! The reason is that I'm limited to not using any thing other than Sharepoint. I implemented a content type of type folder in order for me to maintain the hierarchy of categories; should an item belong to a single category or sub-category, then another content type in the list of type item would work just fine; however, the intersection of association as in the Microsoft example doesn't make that approach suitable. If would use a webpart, that would be some how ok, but I must leave the user use the standard default "NewForm" and "EditForm". Some may wonder, why not using the Site Directory; it's an approach being studied at the moment, but the current approach is to use a custom list. Any suggestions are highly appreciated Regards Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67338

    - Newbie permission error I can't figure out who the website administrator is I have Sharepoint 2.0 running on SBS 2003 R2 and it appears that the dbo of the STS databases are a group SBS Admin of which I am a member. The Administrator of the domain is also and administrator. Each time I attempt to make changes, the permissions are denied. Is the website administrator a service account? Can permissions be set through SQL server by adding another user to the STS databases with dbo permissions or is it really convoluted? If the latter, how do I determine who or what the website administrator is? -- Regards, Jamie Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67336

    - Filtering an imported list by user Hello, I have imported an excel spreadsheet, one of the columns contains the customer (Agent). I wish to filter the list so that users can only see the items which are relevant to them. The only way I can see to do this is to manually create a view which filters by their name, but there are too many customers and different views required to make this feasable. I've tried filtering using the Me function, (which returns exactly the same text as that which is in the Agent column), however, it is searching for the text "=PROPER(RIGHT(Me,LEN(Me)-9))" rather than the calculated value... The user didn't create any of the items, so how can I filter it to display only the relevant ones? It's been driving me mad, thanks for any help. Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67330

    - Cannot sync onenote to sharepoint My collegue cannot open or synzronize onenotefiles from within onenot. He can upload a onenote file to the sharepoint server from the web- interface. He can open the file from the onenote interface on the hompage of sharepoint He can NOT open the file on the srver from within onenote... He cannot, when having the file opened in onenote, synch the file (after chances) from within onenote OR he cannot start a shared notebook saving it to the sharepoint server from within onenote So - it seems that from within onenote he only has one way communication with the server.... The following error message (in swedish) appear when trying to synch: "Not connected" And under the Error tab it then sais: The given networkname is in the wrong format (translated from swedish) (Error code: 0x4BE) When trying to open a file or start a shared notebook on the sps the following error appears: "invalid foldername" (translated from swedish) Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67281

    - WSS Search Problem We've managed to create a major headache here... hope you can help. We created a WSS 3.0 site on a Windows 2003 server using the built-in SQL Express as the database. All was working very well, including Search, until we made the site public through Alternate Access Mappings. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding of what to enter in AMM ( the IT admin changed the "default" name, instead of adding the Internet Header) caused the problem. While the site still "worked", a SiteSearch came back with nothing. We fixed the AAM entry,, but now Search refuses to re-index all the docs, wikis and pages that are currently in the site. But, if we add a new item/doc, or if an item is changed, Search *will* find and index that item. But all the stuff we loaded in the trial stage does not appear in any search results. I have tried a restart on Search- no luck. Is there a way to force Search to recrawl the entire Site Collection? Thanks! BH Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67269

    - Multiple SharePoint Databases Hi All, We currently have one SharePoint 2007 farm hosted in the US. Our problem is that when users in other geographical regions (Ex: Argentina) needs to upload or download files they experience lots of latency as a result of bandwidth limitations. Is there any way to have a second content database in that remote office in order to decrease the amount of time it takes to download and upload documents? Or is there any other work around? Thanks all Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67268

    - Site users webpart how-to. Another question is that it still remains unclear to me on how to handle users, permissions in WSS 3.0. Also, I have a webpart on my default page which is Site Users. I was thinking that it will display any users logged in (from Active Directory) but it's not so. It shows me my user name and three groups (Site Member, Owners and Contributors). is there a way to display any logged in user in this web part or its designed for some other reason?

    - Search Server Hello, I hope this is the correct group to post this question. We recently instsalled Sharepoint Services on a server running Windows 2003 Server and SQL 2005 Std. We have been using this now for a short time and recently noticed that it was not possible to search our site. We get the following message: Your search cannot be completed because this site is not assigned to an indexer. Contact your administrator for more information. I am quite new to Sharepoint and may be running before I can walk. Could somebody suggest the best method to resolve this issue and get the search feature working on our site. Thanks Nick I checked on the server and found that the Sharepoint search service was disabled. I have now set this to automatic and it seeems to be running fine using the system account. However when I try to select the server for the content database it does not allow me do do so, Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67252

    - SharePoint Rookie needs a little help All, I created a Sharepoint site for some events that will take place every two weeks. I successfully created the events on the calendar, but don't see how to invite people or groups. I did manage to create a "workspace" for each event and a list of users for the site. I need them to be invited and accept the meeting invitations and/or change their attendance status if possible. In short, I would like to see the functionality of the Outlook Calendar objects with the nice centralization that SharePoint seems to offer. Thank you in advance!

    - Error "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source." When connecting to XML Data Source in SPD 2007 Hi! i'm trying to follow this article: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101191141033.aspx to learn creating form DataViews. I create an XML file as described, however when I click on xml file and select "show data" data source details tab has all buttons dimmed and gives this error: The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source. Check the format and content of your query and try again. If the problem persists, contact the server administrator. On Muicrosoft site I've found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B923173&x=12&y=13 however, I connect to SharePoint site directly through the LAN, so why would I configure the proxy?

    - Cannot see my partners Changes in onenote s.p doc I uploaded a shared notebook from onenote on our sharepoint-server. My partner managed to open it in onenote (after som hassle). He managed to make some changes, see my changes, but! I cannot see his changes. I can erase his changes (those that I cannot see) Yes, I did make my partner editor of the document. We also tried this on the Office Live Small business. Same result Anybody knows a fix for this? I have SP1 installed - I do not yet know if my partner has that. A related problem might be that it seems impossible for my partner to open the document from within Onenote - he has to do it via the s.p server (or Live Small business..) Soon desperate for helpt...

    - TFS Portals backup Hi. I am defining a strategy for backup of my TFS server. I understand that backing up the data tier keeps my version control, work items etc. safe, but I am uncertain about the Sharepoint portals. For example, when my users upload documents to a portal, are they also stored on SQL Server? And if I customize some aspect of a portal, where are they stored? I am thinking about creating a backup for my data tier and another for the sites of my server. Is this the correct approach? Best regards, Robert Scheer Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67241

    - Event Receivers don't fired when using forms authentication Hi, I have programmatically registered some event receivers like ItemAdded, ItemUpdating, etc. to perform some security settings on the items. That works perfect when accessing the site via Windows authentication, but for one or another reason these events don't fire when accessing the website via Forms authentication. My WSS v3 site is accessible via a default zone using Windows authentication and also via a zone Internet with forms authentication. Is there anybody who has an idea why event handling doesn't work with forms authentication or what the cause could be? Thanks, Bert Tag: sharepoint migration Tag: 67238

Hi all,

I need to move sharepoint 2007 and Project Web Access to a new server.

SP01 - current sharepoint server. Windows 2003 SP2, SQL 2005 9.0.3068

SP02 - new sharepoint server. Windows 2003 SP2, SQL 2005 0.0.3068

I have backed up the original server and have installed sharepoint on
the new server. Does anyone know a way to move sharepoint and PWA from
SP01 to SP02?

I have tried moving the database from one server to the next with no
joy.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

TommoW

This is the newsgroup for the WSs 2.0 and WSs 3.0 products ONLY.

You obviously have neither.

Project Server questions: microsoft.public.project.server

MOSS 2007 (non Project Server / non PWA questions): for instance
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver
