• Ted12893 SharePoint 2007 ECM for IIS sites (non-SharePoint integrated IIS sites)

  Hello, I am currently reviewing the capabilties of SharePoint ECM for creating and publishing content for our companies public website. Our site is hosted by Verio. Based upon what I undestand of SharePoint architecture is that ECM is setup to manage SharePoint sites only. Would it be possible to manage content published to externally hosted Verio site Questions: 1) Can SharePoint manage and publish non-SharePoint IIS sites (I don't this can be done out of the box) 2) How hard would it be to copy pages and content from a SharePoint managed site to IIS thx jjmasteril Hi, In answer to your questions: 1) No - SharePoint only knows or cares about SharePoint IIS websites; if an ...Show All

• Praveen Raj Security Trimming - missing configuration?

  I have a new out of the box install of MOSS07 up and used it to crawl some legacy SP 2003 sites with Enterprise Search. The problem we're having is security trimming doesn't seem to be kicking in on the results - users are able to get links in the results page to items they don't have security access to (SP still prompts for credentials when the link to that resource is clicked). I have one domain security account as both application identity and primary crawl ID - this ID was given permission to the legacy SP content. The content is indexed but like I said everyone can see it regardless of rights to that resource. I'm having trouble finding articles on troubleshooting/configuring security trimming for MOSS07 - apparently it should w ...Show All

• dustinto Storing Session State

  We have been using SQL Server to store session state for a while. Now we are growing and looking for more scalable alternatives. It looks like there are three products on the market: ScaleOut, Ncache and StateMirror. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these beasts. I'l accept that using IP broadcast to replicate state to every server gives you fault tollerance and scaleout with only the cost of a copy of the state on every server and some fairly high network and disk IO overhead. Broadcast is by nature unreliable so I assume either your application or the state server has to deal with session state being missing or corrupt on any given server. I'm a database person so I have an ave ...Show All

• Dee-roc Which protocol?

  I'm writing a solution for communication with a (.net) server. Now I'm thinking about a protocol I should use(Remoting, WebService, Sockets, ...). There are some things to consider: There may be many clients connecting to the server with that app (100000 ) I want this app doesn't have any problems with routers (firewall, NAT) Later, there will be a C++ client (not managed) I'm tending to webservices because of (2,3) but don't know if there will be performance issues... What would you do Konstantin ubercoder wrote: To my knowledge the only way to have the server communicate and fire events on the client is via sockets and TCP, which comes with proxy and NAT problems.

• niallhannon design pattern question - proxy

  Hello, I'm implementing a software module and hesitating about the appropriate design. The client needs to perform operations for an componenet which is divided to few parts in the memory. However the client treats the componenet as one contiguous. My design includes a "Manager" which has an interface for the client and handles all operations for this components. The "Manager" knows when it is asked to read/write the appropriate part of the memory. It hides the fact that the component is divided to few parts in the memory space. I wonder if this is called a proxy, facade or a bridge Or maybe other pattern I think it is a proxy but not sure since there few real objects (i.e. subjects) and not only one. In cas ...Show All

• Michael_P2234 Beginner question III - tier for windows forms application

  Hello, I'm a client-server programmer new to III tier aproach. Ok, i understand benefits of III layer, dividing funtionality in diferenents components that can optionally run in differents servers, i'm learning with GoF and Fowler patterns books. But I don't know if i need to run layers in differents servers. The principal reason i've found to III-tier is that in client-server architecture every client hold a connection to the database, and because connection are resource intensive, system doesn't scale.Text talk about thousands of clients is imposible for client-server system. But nowadays ram is cheap so with and estimation of even 1mb per client connection, 2000 clients would need 2gb for the server, not much memory. Other reason ...Show All

• vbjunkie Architectural options for migrating Power Builder application to .Net technologies

  Hi I have to provide architectural options using Microsoft Technologies for an window based three tired application. The user interface(Presentation Layer) of this application is developed using Power Builder. The presentation layer works in disconnected and connected mode.

• iscbaltazar Site Template Query

  Hi, I am new to SharePoint Technologies. I have a very basic question about templates. Say we select a template and create a site. When we want to create sub sites, the template list becomes subset (reduced options) as compared to the original set. E.g if I create a Publish Portal (Either Internet facing or Intranet) and then want to create a subsite like say Wiki or Blog under it I will not be able to as the only option that will be available is Publishing Site with WorkFlow. I am sure this will not be an unusual requirement. May be my undertstanding is wrong/missing something. Can somebody enlighten me with the right concept or give right pointers Thanks in advance Regards Shyla You should ...Show All

• kymaita Database Connection - Stored Procedure

  Does anyone know where there is documentation on the "Command and Parameter" Editor in Sharepoint Designer 2007 The "help" that the program comes with just glosses over the whole thing. I have tried multiple combinations of parameter source, default values, etc, but I'm getting nowhere. I feel like I must be missing something, this task was very easy in the 2003 environment. Thanks, Bob Interesting, I had an error in my thinking on the server name and gave it "localhost". This was giving me all of the information for the server, but the calls to the stored procedures were not working. When I changed it to the actual server name everything was fixed. Must ...Show All

  I am new to MOSS 2007 and webparts development. Does anyone have a sample webpart code developed in VS2005 for MOSS 2007 that renders actual controls(textbox/dropdown for input and command buttons) The sample web part articles out there just do simple writer.Write().

• Elham Sarikhani Restart Central Administration Service

  Hi, a bad man has stopped "Central Administration Service" on Operations -> Services on Server. How can Central Administration Service be restarted Cannot go to Central Admin, when the service is not running :-) Best regards TST I see it now. You have to select the "Custom" role to see it. When I stop mine, it removes the "Central Administration v3 Site" from IIS. In order to get it back, I had to re-run "SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard" (from the start menu). I told it to "Do not disconnect from this server farm" so I wouldn't lose all of my settings. (all of my web applications and settings were retained (po ...Show All

• TenthPandora Should Active Directory be a Domain Controller or in a different domain ?

  MCSF uses Active Directory to store user details. 1. But does it need to be in a different domain or a domain controller 2. Can I just install AD and point MCSF to store users there Regards, Sachin If you install AD, that will become a DC right :). Now it takes me to your first question, which I suggest you have different box for AD, and different box for CSF components, but they both should be in the same domain. Can you use an existing domain that you built absolutely yes, as along as you are domain admin. HTH Tilak I think you are talking about ADAM. That doesn't work with CSF.
