• Vince206 Incoming Mail with Sharepoint 2007 and Exchange Server

  I have a test environment that consist of one server with Exchange and Sharepoint 2007. Is there a way to test incoming mail or do I need a second Test server. It appears as though I need to have smtp services running too. Any Ideas Hi Joe , this is a whitepaper that I wrote on configuring incoming mail using Exchange 2003 but without creating an SMTP connector. It worked for me but I know in some companies they have such a complex routing mechanism for mail flow that sometimes you just need to create a specific one for Moss E-Mail. One reason might be that they send mail to a DMZ mail server and that does not know how to route it to the Moss Server. Anyway take a look at the whitepaper and see if it ...Show All

• jSiegel Set Due Date on Generated Task

  I'm currently trying to create a simple workflow within sharepoint designer and having some issues. The workflow is fairly simple, Once a form is filled out, two tasks are created and sent out, (i'm using the "Collect date from user" function to assign the tasks). The tasks will ask for two pieces of information which will then post the filled out info to fields on the original form. once the tasks are completed it will notify the submitting user back that the form is completed as well as alert a couple more users with emails. the problem I'm having however, is getting a due date filled out on the task. The submitting user fills out a date field on the original form so I know what the date needs to be, however, sending it ...Show All

• zot166249 Modifying Approvers

• cplusplus1 Design Consideration for active/active clustering

  Hi, I need help on the design consideration to develop a VB application to work in a Cluster (active/active). The application would consist of an NT service that will spawn activeX exe components based on a configuration. Thank you, regards, S. Balakrishnan One main thing that you need to remember regarding Microsoft's clustering technology is that it based on a "shared nothing" concept the meaning is that in an active/active configuration you'd need to partition the work between the two active servers and have each server act as a backup for the other one. Regarding other design consideration. you should probably provide some more details e.g. what are the fail-over t ...Show All

• Shawn de Wet separating data access - Busines logic and UI

• Saibal Goswami Question about Sharepoint Security across domains

  Hey guys, I have a question about Sharepoint and how it implements security. In our sharepoint implementation we use NT Authentication to access several sites on the Sharepoint server. These users are in the normal form of Domain1\User. Each of those users were given individual access by the sharepoint admin (not me). We recently created a new domain which will supersede Domain1 and are moving users over to the new domain (Domain2). Now users on Domain2 are getting an NT Challenge window when trying to access sites and documents that they used to have access to. They can get around it by typing in the credentials for Domain1, but that isn't a good solution because that domain will be going away. I am not sure how to ...Show All

• Denis Pitcher FetchTargets and Events

  Hi, i am a little confused about describing health and provisioning events inside of the FetchTargetResponse.xml. Accordingly to the scheme you just need to fill a simple string (event name). But for the usage events you also need to specifify DeliveryMode and Filter dialects. So if i use the same architecture for provisioning and health events as i use for the usage events wouldn't it be neccessary to also specifiy delivery modes and filter dialects for them As you propaly allready understood , inside of my WES you are able to register for health and provisioning events. You are also able to specify the filters for them. So if I cannot specify these information inside of my FetchTargetsResponse, where should I display them ...Show All

• dto Welcome!

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for topics about InfoPath Forms Services capabilities in Office SharePoint Server.

• wencey Is it possible to create an entity that does not have identifier and that relates to a view in the database?

  Good morning all ! I created a view in my database that has three fields: Name, SiteUrl, NbPostings (that is the number of postings messages on the forum which site url is SiteUrl by the user Name ). Now I want to display informations that are in this view in a Business Data List Web Part.
