Besides the BUILTIN\Administrators, there is another default account (my own domain account). It was accidentally removed. Is there a way to add it back?
Have been pulling my hair during the past days, please help!

Automatic backup of farm in MOSS2007
Through central administration it's possible to make a manual backup.
Is there a way to do this automatically? For example daily at midnight.
I haven't found an option to do this in central administration and I don't think it's possible.
My guess is using stsadm.exe (with parameters) in a scheduled task. But if anyone has experience with this:
Help is always welcome.
Thanks in advance.

SSP - trying to create/restore after web app issues
A little farm / SSP background
We recently upgraded our test farm to SP2. Long story short, we had some issues partially related to the upgrade process with our web apps. Content DBs are fine, so per Microsoft we did the whole create new web app, strip content db from new web app, attach content db from previous web app, etc. So that all works fine. The problem is that the SSP web app and My Sites web app are also impacted.
The SSP issue
What I'm trying to do is either restore the SSP (and keep in mind that the DBs are fine, it's the web apps that are the issue) or create a new SSP using the existing search and SSP DBs.
Here's what I've tried so far.
- First, I created new web apps for the SSP and My Sites. All good.
- Restoring SSP from Central Admin ->Manage Farm's Shared Services. I supplied the new web app locations in the url locations, gave the SSP a new name. I got an error message telling me the DBs had to be upgraded (keep in mind, we did the SP2 upgrade with issues - had seen a similar error message with other web apps and had to attach content dbs via stsadm). (full error message text follows numbered items)
- Creating a new SSP from Central Admin ->Manage Farm's Shared Services. Same failure message.
- Restoring and Creating SSP via stsadm. Got the descriptive "command line error" here. I've posted my syntax below.
Central Admin Error Message
"Failure! Shared Services Provider restore failed.
Reason: The database(s) you specified need to be upgraded before they can be used to create an SSP. You must use the stsadm command 'restoressp' to create an SSP from these databases. Check the event log for details.
Note: SSP provisioning will be retried periodically. If you correct the error that caused this failure, provisioning will subsequently succeed. To stop provisioning from being retired, delete the SSP.
Command Line Syntax stsadm -o restoressp -title NewSSP -url http://server:port -ssplogin domain\account -mysiteurl http://server:port -indexserver server name -indexlocation C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Data\Office Server\Applications -sspdatabaseserver dbserver\instance -sspdatabasename SharedServices db name -ssppassword password -searchdatabaseserver dbserver\instance -searchdatabasename Search db name
For the Command line I tried both the -o restoressp and -o createssp (the rest of the syntax was the same). The urls are the new web apps. Haven't tried with old wep app names.
What am I missing here?

Approval Status column showing in edit document properties
I have run into a weird issue with the 'Approval Status' column. Even though require approval is turn off, the column is still displaying in my edit properties. When I go in under Document Library Settings, it does not appear in the list of columns.
The values in the drop down are appearing as:
0;#Approve
1;#Rejected
2;#Pending
When I try to save after editing properties (without changing any values), I get the message:
Failed to get value of the "Approval Status" column from the "Moderation Status" field type control. See details in log. Exception message: Input string was not in a correct format..
To reiterate, this column is not showing up in document library settings, so I cannot remove it.
I am running WSS 3.0. Logging is turned off due to disk space issues.
Thanks,
Dustin

List moved into a document library
I am not exactly sure what or how this happened, but from what I can tell it looks like a list web part was moved from the Lists folder into a document library. When I navigate in the document library I can see a folder which used to be a list, and the forms/attachments belonging to the list (ie AllItems, EditForm, DispForm, etc).
Is there a way to restore this list with the content that was associated with it?
The SharePoint site is hosted on a single server farm running Windows 2k3, SQL 2005, and WSS 3.
Thanks,
Dustin

Comparing web.configs, enableSessionState="true" vs "false"
I've been having some issues with an external WFE. Built "NewServer", installed MOSS, edited the site's web.config to be similar to "OldServer"'s version (membership provider string pointing to our ISA login server).
Site is up and running, but I'm getting some errors. Compared web.configs from the two servers and found that
- OldServer web.config: <pages enableSessionState="true" ...>
- NewServer web.config <pages enableSessionState="false" ...>
Can anyone tell me what difference that might make? Is there something in CA that determines this setting, or is changed through stsadm or only in the web.config itself?
Much thanks!

Can an Audience Rule be Made to Subtract One SharePoint Group from Another?
I am brand-new to audience rules and will actually have to work with a colleague who has permissions for Shared Services Administration. My question is whether we can create an audience that essentially is all of our domain users minus all the people in
a specified SharePoint group?

SharePoint / Access Integration: Access not displaying all text from columns set to "Append Changes to Existing Text"
Do SharePoint columns using the setting "Append Changes to Existing Text" integrate with Access 2007?
In SharePoint, ColumnA in ListX is set to 'type=multiple lines of text' AND 'specify the type of text to allow=plain text' AND 'append changes to existing text=yes.' When we import ListX into Access (link the datasource by creating a linked table), all of the appended entries for ColumnA are not displayed in the ListX table.

Error uploading 100+ Mb file with quota/limit settings adjusted
Hi,
We have a SharePoint Site, 2003 on IIS 6.
We recently encountered an issue where uploading file larger than 100Mb will give us an error message, "An expected error occured".
We tried uploading within 50Mb files and its successful.
Got googling for a resolution and found some that might have this issue resolved, on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925083
We have modified the settings as per mentioned recommendations but still facing same issue. Here's what we did:
Did we miss something out? or any other cofig needed to be changed?
May we know as well what are the other configs/settings that are related regarding the issue we encounter?
Many thanks in advance,

Mapping a SharePoint Library to Server 2003
I'm trying to mount a SharePoint 2007 library to a machine that is running Windows Server 2003. I'm running XP on my computer and I am able to do this by simply using 'net use z: http://sharepointsite/folder'. This however does not work on the server. Trying this simply results in an error being thrown and it telling me that it can not find the network name. Does anyone know how to remedy this or if there is a way to work around it? Thanks in advance!

Error when creating Web Application
We have a 3 server farm connecting to a SQL cluster. Server 1 is the indexer and running central admin. Servers 2 and 3 are web Front Ends. I login in with my admin account to server 1 (the account I installed MOSS with) start central admin and create a new web app. I choose new IIS Web site and It runs a while and then displays the following error (I enabled the stack trace on Server 1). It actually creates the content DB and the IIS web site on Server 1 but it never gets propogated to Servers 2 and 3. The web app also shows up in central admin and I am able to change settings and crate new site collections.

Sharepoint 3.0 inaccessible following update (KB2596911)
Following update (KB2596911) we are unable to access out sharepoint site. When we try to connect, we get an error message "HTTP ERROR 404.0".
We have restarted the server, ran the "sharepoint products and technologies configuration wizard" and got an error, we restarted the "World Wide Web Publishing Service", re ran the "sharepoint products and technologies configuration wizard" and all seemed well.
We let the configuration wizard run from 4pm Thursday to 9.15am Friday and it was still on task 9 of 10. The wizard had hung so we cancelled it. As I am typing this the configuration is still in the process of cancelling.
Should I wait until the cancelation process has stopped and uninstall the update, which may take some time, or are there other steps I can take?
