• Bob_dlonra Please someone get me out of this mess

  Hello all, I am new to Sharepoint but have spent a ton of time on this the past 3 weeks. I have gotten one W2K3 Server running with Sharepoint but even that one has issues i.e. I cannot get rid of the search service event log entries that correspond to the gatherer service Event ID: 2424. The 2 new Servers I have installed and configured just do not want to work. When I go into the admin console I immediately get a login box to which I input a domain account with admin priviliges and the login box keeps popping up many times until it finally will stop and display the page I want to see. Then when I click any other link the same scenario happens all over again Why is this happening I did not do anything different with this ins ...Show All

• Ben Amor Bassem Object Relationship Mapping ?

  Hi all, Just wanted to findout that in normal distributed computing environments or 3-tier application; is it necessary to use Object relational mapping if yes which phase of the project -Paresh PareshGheewala wrote: is it necessary to use Object relational mapping if yes which phase of the project Interesting question! As always "it depends". Typically you'll choose one of the following architecture styles namely: Transaction Script, Table Module, Domain Model for your application. In the case of the Domain Model pattern you would implement this using custom classes expressing the abstractions in your problem domain. There's a big chance that the resulting Do ...Show All

• Leonids How to customize DispForm for Document Library

  Is it possible to customize DispForm for Document Library I cannot see display form in Supporting Files tab at Document Library properties window. If I create new display form, how to replace default form with it. You are correct, the tab does not display it. I think you will have to just change the existing one. And since SPD doesnt show it in the folder list, you will have to open it directly using "file-open" and giving the URL to the dispfom.aspx. I have no idea why this should be like that. Hi Ir_Vin, Open your Site with SharePoint-Designer. Double-Click your Document-Library. Double-Click Forms. Double-Click your DispForm.aspx. Make your changes (e.g. at ...Show All

• Tilfried Weissenberger Site and Sub Site List Aggregation

  Is there a way to get all items for any given list (ie Contacts) for all sites and subsite using a single web service call Right now I am getting a list of all sites using "GetAllSubWebCollection" web service method, then for each site get the items for a given list. This is taking a very long time, can I execute a query from the root site and get this same list Thanks version 2003 or 2007 no, its not. Basically, the search engine isnt the way to go at all, but instead you will have to use custom code (build your own web service for example) that will run a recursion on the sites. A CAML query on each list will return the items you want and you will be able to aggregate. but i ...Show All

• csk2006 WSS 3.0 Disaster... Config database lost..

  Hi, today morning when I arrived work and try to access my sharepoint portal, I get the error "cannot connect to configuration database" .. for my surprise, I chek SQL server, and the "Sharepoint_Config" database is missing. I have no backups, and the only thing I have left is the content database "wss_content_SOMETHING" ... And I also have the "Inetpub" localfolder..

The thing is I created a new site, and this builds a new Sharepoint_config database, but I still get the same error when trying to connect. I also checked the permissons in the SQL ...Show All

• mel_mel Clustered .NET Applications

  I'm doing the preliminary research for the architecture of a large project. This project will basically be responsible for routing various types of messages transactionally. Some messages have higher priority than others. Some are forwarded, some are processed directly, etc. My initial design calls for a series of MSMQ queues and Windows Services, written in C#, to process the messages in these queues. There will be incoming and outgoing queues, queues to store unroutable messages, etc. Of great concern to me is that there are absolutely no single points of failure in the system. I can't have a machine go down and have the messages sitting in the queues on that machine remain there until it comes back. In order to accomplish this I am cons ...Show All

• satsrinivasan Problem with create/submit a SSL certificate request

  Hi experts, (assumption: ComputerName: Machine1; my website: www.abc.com ) I have follow the instructions as http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290625/en-us for create a certificate request. When I created the request, I typed Machine1 as Common Name . However when I try to submit such a request as suggested with e.g. http://abc.com/certsrv/ , it shows the 404 page not found error. I' m pretty sure my IIS works and other pages are working fine also. I was wondering, 1. Did I do anything wrong with that Common Name I 've also tried to make a new request and insert e.g. abc.com as Common Name , but when I try to submit the request, some thing happened with 404 error. 2. Is there any other way I can submit the request other than t ...Show All

• Selectis How are you gnerating application definitions?

  Hello All, I am just cusrious to know how are you guys generating your application definitions in BDC by hand or using one of the tools out there to auto generate that scary XML file I am unable to find a tool which gives me the ability to include stored procedures in my app def instead of pure tables or views Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot Hello Steve, >>the bells and whistles that a "mature" product has :-) I am not sure if you are referring to Reporting Services here or not.

• Bob Pokorny Why need Form Server 2007? Thought WSS/MOSS covers that kind of funcationalities

  This is probably not the ideal place to ask this question but I'm just not sure what Form Server 2007 is for. I admit that I have not spent any significant amount of time looking into it. My very limited knowledge about it says it's built on top of WSS 3.0. I'm not sure what that means. I guess I'm trying to find out what "additional" functionalities Form Server provides that the OOB WSS/MOSS don't already provide, and the compelling reasons why it's useful in the business world. Form server is basically a MOSS component (for the enterprise MOSS version) that allows you to publish infopath forms so that users will be able to view them as web forms instead of installing the infopath client.

• TimR_246 How to config access based on a domain attribute like location?

  Is it possible to configure a SharePoint site to allow only domain users with particular domain attribute value to access e.g. only users in a particular location, or belong to a particular department. Further from this is whether it's possible to limit only people who eventually report to the same person to access a particular site Thanks a lot Sharepoint only accepts security groups or specific people in its access rights settings. You cannot make a security group based on rules. You could do something that is not very secure - set up an audience (if you are not aware what audiences are - audiences are a feature of the shared services in MOSS, that allows you do define groups of people based ...Show All
