Hi ,
We have copied the Content DB to a new server . We need to point the Web applications in the application server to the Content DB in the new server . So as to avoid downtime is there any checkpoints that should be taken care off ?

Hi guys
I am using WSS3 and have upgraded my computers to Office 2010. Any document i have opened up in sharepoint, is read only. It does ask me to open up in "edit" or "read only". When i click on 'edit", the document is in read only mode
When i downgrade to office 2007 , everything is fine
Please help
One of the users of my sharepoint 2007 site is unable to access the subfolder and its content despite having 'Full Control'. He's able to login to the site, access the folders but not the subfolders.
I tried giving permission again but whenever he clicks the subfolder IE says - 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'.
Please help!
Hi there
I've been looking at PeoplePicker - setsiteaccountdirectorypath - and I know that only a single OU can be set at a time when the setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath operation is used. As a result, this operation should only be run once per site collection
Is there any way that PeoplePicker can be configured to search all OUs except one? Or even to search in more than one OU?
Thanks
Jonj
Hi there - is there any way to configure the default managed path that appears on the Create site Collection page in Central Admin?
We have several managed paths and I want it to default to a specific one and instead it seems to default to the last one created
Cheers

Yesterday, I applied Service Pack 3 and cumulative upgrade April 2012 for WSS and MOSS SP 2007. The installs went well.
While things are running well, I am getting the following message regularly within the ULS logs.
I did no restore of database.
Since I did no restore, how do I resolve this issue?
Alert: Content Database Synchronization failed

This might be caused by restoring a content database from one server farm into a different server farm without first removing the original database and then running stsadm -o preparetomove. If this is the cause, the stsadm -o preparetomove command can be used with the -OldContentDB command line option to resolve this issue.
Hi, i had an issue today with a MOSS 2007 server, at least one site collection was locked when people started accessing the system in the morning. This was easily solved (by unlocking the site) but a question remains: why was the site locked? Does anybody know any common reasons why sites become locked? I've went through all the log files and event logs of the MOSS server and SQL Server - there's a backup plan in place, could that be the reason? - but found nothing that could explain it.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
While working on creating a new site, we ran into a problem (and found a solution) that I thought I would pass along.
All was well in our site.. then, we changed permissions on a document library to no longer inherit permissions from the parent site (web) that it was a part of. Then, we added a large group of individuals to the document library permissions.. about 50 people.. hit OK and then the error occurred.
The navigation menu at the top simply said "Error". If you hovered over it, it gave a stacktrace error in the tooltip.
If you pulled up the site, you got a page that simply said "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."
I did notice that if I navigated to any site that did NOT inherit permissions from the parent and added "_layouts/user.aspx" to the url, I was able to bring up a page.. but the navigation still said "error".
However, if I added "_layouts/user.aspx" to a url which DID inherit permissions from the parent web site (actually, the top level web site), then I was NOT able to bring up the page at all.
After some digging, I discovered the following in the datamodel.
There is a tabled called "perms" in the content database. This table will contain an entry for any entity that has permissions assigned to it. I saw an entry for all of the sites and document libraries which had unique permissions. BUT.. I did not see an entry for the top level website. It was gone.
To confirm, I created a new site collection (btw, I created it in the same web application as the broken site collection) and used another content database. In this new one (that worked by the way), I saw an entry in the perms table.. but not in the broken site.
So I felt like the issue was that when the site tried to render, it could not resolve the permissions to the top level web site. NOTE: I did not change anything in the database... AND YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER.... just look around.
Then, I spent time with Microsoft to determine the problem. We did all of the ordinary things and then, I suggested we look at the following hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936867/en-us
We applied this hotfix to the WFE server (we did not apply to the backend database server) and then ran the configuration wizard. That fixed the problem. I also went into the database and checked the table.. sure enough.. the missing entry in the perms table was now there.
I thought I would pass this along, in hopes it might help someone else..
ALSO... MICROSOFT..I think its about time for SP1.... :-)
Hi All ,
This is the scenario:
1) We have a 2 WFE Sharepoint environment on our domain i.e. domain1 and a 1-way domain trust to a domain2.
2) After setting the trust relation I was able to run a full profile import and I have all of the profiles from domain2 in the SSP showing as domain2.nt\usernames .
3) I setup people picker by running on each WFE:
stsadm -o setapppassword -password appkey
stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -url http://webapp url-pv domain:"domain2.com", domain2\account,pwd
4) After seting up people picker I was able to resolve domain2 user names but when tryng to add a user to a group it added the user name with a red line below and below it says "No Exact Match was found" if I move the mous over the name I see a message saying: "Multiple entries matched, please click here to resolve"If I click under the name it does resolve the name but as soon as I hit ok it returns the same message again.
5) I was investigating and on domain 2 side they use domain2.com\username but they have some BIOS names ie. domain2.nt\username and domain2\username so I made a test and I tried to put each of these:
domain2.com\username
domain2.nt\username
domain2\username
username (plain)
in the people picker GUI and all of these resolve for the same person so I believe this is why People picker says that multiple entries matched ?
6) I tried using a custom filter:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter -pv "(userPrincipalName=*domain2.nt)" -url <web-application-URL or Site collection URL>
tryng to force to only choose domain2.t\usernames but it gives the same error.
7) I tried adding a user with stsadm:
stsadm -o adduser -url http://webapp -use
rlogin domain2.nt\username6 -useremail user@domain2.com -group "owners" -username "test user"
and this command works, after that I see the user added in the owners group and if I try to add this user on a different group it doesnt give me a error message no more.
I was wondering of any of you have any idea on what could be wrong? my guess is that something is wrong on AD but not 100% sure... there are around 11,000 profiles and I dont want to run or built a scritpt a stsadm to add every single user to a group to avoid this issue.
if any of you have any suggestions please let me know
thanks & regards
Hello. Ι have a sharepoint site with the following content:
2x Discussion boards
1x document library
1x Microsoft Web Access
The following issue , occurs:
every day, the users accessing the site from internet and only, get unable to access one discussion board. after some hours they are able to access it.
If they try , from intranet, they can.
Only INTERNET users> at specific hours > cant access ONE of the two discussion boards...
Suddenly, they can. ( i guess it has to do with a scheduled job, but i have no idea which one, or how to trace it. ULS log viewer does not help because i have to "trial and check" for hours.....
Thank you .
hi all...
My installation of WSS 3 was successful..
My config
Windows 2003 SP1 (Part of Domain "testwss")
Framework 3 (Release)
Wss 3.0 (Release)
Sql 2005 ( On other machine which is part of Domain "testwss")
IIS 6.0
office 2003 pro
after creating application successful i am not able to create site collection i get the following page.
The Windows SharePoint Services Web application has been created.
If this is the first time that you have used this application pool with a SharePoint Web application, you must wait until the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site has been created on all servers. By default, no new SharePoint site collections are created with the Web application. To create a new site collection, go to the Create Site Collection page.
To finish creating the new IIS Web site, you must run "iisreset /noforce" on each Web server.
If i click on the Creat Site Collection the following page is displayed
The page cannot be displayed because your server's current configuration does not support it. To perform this task, use the command line operations in Stsadm.exe.
i tried same on standalone machine which is not part of domain but with same config as above but with same results..
I tried many things like
1) changing app pool rights to user run rather than network service.
2) there is no front page extensions installed on my machine
3) given full access to IIS WGP to the storing folder of WSS
4) tried Stsadm.exe too..
but nothing helped...
BUT if i install winFX and Wss 3 beta 2 the same config on same system works fine whereas the releae version gives error.
Please help ME....
Thanx
Search on my Sharepoint site Not Working!
Shared Service Administration link throws an unhandled exception:
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Sharepoint.Administration.SPAlternateUrlCollection' to type 'Microsoft.Sharepoint.Administration.SPWebApplication'.
Moreover, an SSP (Search Service) is showing deadlink under this.
Cannot repair/create new service unless Administration is accessible. Please help!
In sharepoint 2010.
All these theories about someone going to a long lunch and forgetting to check-in the list item are good but people should know when they are editing something the other user edits too. Please help.
I have noticed that when I enabled read-only mode to the Content database before running the export stsadm command, there will be "access denied" occurring during the export. If the database is not set to read-only mode, then no errors are encountered.
The question now is whether it is safe to perform the export command without setting the database to read-only? Understand that post SP2 backup operation will automatically set it to read only, but not for the export command.
Hi,
I have developed infopath forms on my development server and now I need to move them on Production. What I have done is, I saved the site as a Site Template on development and imported the template on Production.
I updated the Data Connections on the InfoPath form and uploaded and activated the form using Central Administration using Manage Form Templates.
I then removed the old content type attached to the List. Clicked, Add from existig Content Types and added the activated form.
Now when I click on the new button, I receive an error as shown below. I believe the List IDs have not been correctly updated and somewhere it is still pointing to the old List on the Development Server.
Questions:
Thank you.
Best Regards,

The backup for my MOSS farm have gone from 40 minutes to 7 hours, since the daylight savings time change. There appears to be a pause for 1 or 2 hours at certain points during the backup. Note times below.
I have seen discussions about this on google groups, but no real solution. Just work arounds like uninstalling the DST patch 931836 and changing the MOSS servers timezone to a location that has the same time as DST. I'm hoping for a real fix.

I need to get a report of all sites created within our SharePoint site. I tried the Site Directory, but I know there are some missing here, because you have the option of *not* including it in the directory when you create it. How do I get to this information?
Thanks,
Jen
