RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Account Creation Mode
Yep it's a funny one, John. Existing users can authenticate to the site, but I can't add new users after adding them in AD, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the account creation thing happening in a designated AD OU either (fails with a similar error The format of the specified domain name is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800704BC)). I have managed to run stsadm -o migrateuser to cheat and assign a previous user id that was migrated from WSS2 to a new AD user - this seemed to work fine. I don't know if I'm running into some sort of bug, but I thought it would be worth cutting my losses and opting out of the Acc Creation mode ... Will try what you suggested though ... to see if it's a server problem rather than WSS itself (although DNS looks good).

Have you tried extending another Web App to a different port using the same content? Then try logging into the new web site.

I am thinking that it is because I chose to turn on this mode when I upgraded, when previously this was not the option I had under WSS 2. Does anyone know if it is possible to turn this mode off again ... I presume an uninstall/reinstall may be necessary, but I am looking for a failsafe approach that is the simplest (can't find any doco here). Can anyone help me please? Is it a matter of removing SharePoint from the website and then reinstating it (without deleting the SQL dbs of course)? I had a recent posting on a related problem, which seems to be one of 3 or 4 symptoms of what I imagine is the same problem, i.e. misleading error messages like the following: UNIFYSOLUTIONS\any user name is not a valid user in the unifysolutions.local domain Cheers Bob Bradley UNIFY http://www.unifysolutions.net/ Solutions Pty Ltd http://www.unifysolutions.net/ Identity Management Specialists Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: +61 1300 889 519 Fax: +61 8 8231 8643 Mobile: +61 438 181 003 Web: www.unifysolutions.net http://www.unifysolutions.net/ Note: This e-mail and accompanying attachments may contain confidential or privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: second level navigation menus in MOSS
Andrew Connell released a great white paper about replacing the OOB navigation with a 3rd party navigation control (telerik). http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2007/07/25/6081.aspx It doesn't go into building the 2 tier navigation you are describing but it is very detailed with screen shots and explains precisely what needs to be updated and where (which would be the same if you built your own). It also discusses adding the navigation control to a solution file for deployment.
