I vote we talk to the owner of the list first before making calls on their behalf without their knowledge. Then we can discuss a road forward.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: create SharePoint development same as production site
Ø Having now tried several tests through UI (and received only errors) and
STSADM (and seen the hell that breaks loose afterwards) Ive gone down
Uzmas path of only backing up individual sites and restoring to dev as
required for testing and development. Hardly ideal
What Errors? Did you deploy the existing features to the new environment,
ensure all DLLs are in the right spot/place, etc?
Ø With publishing sites (and quite possibly WSS w/ publishing enabled) this
still requires running custom STSADM commands and other fixes to correct
page layout paths (break page settings), CQWP queries, hundreds of
hard-coded links within web part fields or pages (because MOSS wouldnt
allow a relative URL!) and more. And lets not forget about the lack of
support for tasks and workflows.
Sounds more like a issue of someone has instead of using relative paths,
used hard paths, Hardly a fault of MOSS. Could you give an example of where
MOSS has a hardcoded URL? As I know that this is something they wish to
address in upcoming versions.
Ø I cannot get over the sheer amount of hard paths and absolute URLs that
MOSS uses. That simple environment variables or tokens for {siteroot},
{site}, {_layout} etc., are not used simply amazes me.
~Site, ~SiteCollction, /_layouts (accessible from any path or folder in the
URL, i.e. ~Site/_layouts/page.aspx)
Ø Its insulting enough to pay this much for a product and then be left
with a command line tool for all these operations, but to the have this many
problems with something as simple as a backup and restore operation...
Backup Restore is not as simple as just export and import, it relies on
DLLs, features and solution dependencies. If a dependency is invalid or
missing, it will not restore (imo it makes sense).
Ø Why would it have be so hard to create a web-based GUI for theses (and
other) essential daily tasks that allowed a bit more control over the
various parameters and managed syntax while also providing a Test mode for
the less brazen?
Central Admin under Backup/Restore? Or Item level backup/restore level with
DPM? Or even batch script with use of STSADM to run on a schedule.
STSADM could of been made to support item level backup/.restore, but the
amount of effort/overhead involved in this via a CLI is pretty large, Should
the UI have supported it? Yes It should have.
Happy to Help,

You will find those errors during backup/restore. So, it will be clear if
OOTB backup works or not.
I would not recommend using STSADM o export/import till you have no
problems with UI tools
There are no issues with export/import command, but its very error-proned
approach, and you should know how to do it correctly.

RE: [OzMOSS] Word template library
Hi Paul, Hmm, this sounds like your making SharePoint a file dump instead of using it for content management. By doing so, you are losing some powerful functionality. As far as opening a new document based on a existing document in a document library, the default click to open is not designed to do this as it will just open the document in the application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc). The only way I could see this being implemented, is having a custom feature in the context menu and create a menu item Open new Instance of this document or something simular, However this would require custom development. Basically mimicking the Download a Copy, However with some smarts to make it copy the document in the document library and then open that one instead. -DB From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Thursday, 13 November 2008 10:12 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Word template library Hi Daniel, It would be enormously impractical to have to create a content type or form for each one and then add them to one (or several) libraries within SharePoint. We already have our base content types (more than enough for my liking as Im the only designer/developer). This is about storing existing dotx, pptx and xlst files (of which we have hundreds) within a document library rather than the traditional network drive location. Unfortunately SharePoint doesnt let them open a new instance of a document natively through IE (unless you use the 'Download a copy' option). NB: Nice to have the list back.

No matter what I do, all default methods for opening a file result in it being opened as a Read Only server document (in IE at least). Does anyone know of a no-fuss way to have a dotx file open as a new Untitled.docx from a document library? The only method Ive found which opens the document as expected is to use the Send To-Download a Copy function but this isnt very intuitive for end users. Im trying to avoid creating a new content type for every document template and am sure there must be a simple way to achieve this.

RE: [OzMOSS] Word template library
Ø Hmm, this sounds like your making SharePoint a file dump instead of using it for content management. By doing so, you are losing some powerful functionality. Sorry if this sounds / Comes across the wrong way Its not my intention. By using a single document library as a place to store all your document templates, you lose the ability to add custom meta data, carve out the exact information you want, Search becomes more complex, etc. Just need to be aware that storing documents in the way, can affect your information architecture / access to information and that there are implications which may affect you down the road. Happy to discuss more if you would like J --- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject. Powered by mailenable.com
RE: [OzMOSS] Sharepoint Object Modal to server 2
Hi Trent, Really silly question, but can Server2 ping Server1? If so, can it connect to Server1 via telnet on port 80? (start-run-cmd-telnet server1 80)? From the look of the error message, it's more of a connectivity issue that security/authentication/authorization/permissions.

I have two sharepoint MOSS environments (2 separate servers) both are on the same internal network using the same Active Directory. I am trying to lookup a sharepoint list on server 1 from server 2's sharepoint site. Below is the code snippet from the webpart on server 2. Using mysite As New SPSite(http://server1/;) Using ElevatedSite As SPWeb = mysite.OpenWeb() Dim List As SPList = ElevatedSite.Lists(Associations) Dim query As SPQuery = New SPQuery() Dim items As SPListItemCollection = List.GetItems(query) 'print first column of first row HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(items(0).GetFormattedValue(Title)) ElevatedSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = False End Using End Using I am getting the following error: The Web application at http://server1 could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application. I have tried chaning the identity user for the application pool on server 2 but has failed to do anything. Maybe the identity user doesn't have permissions to server1 db, but from I can see the user should!?? I could try using web services but I saw articles on the net with perople experiencing issue with that aswell. If anybody could shed some light on this it would be great.

RE: [OzMOSS] Advice: Sharepoint on DC
Hi Mike, Its best practice to put SharePoint on its own Server and leaving the DC to be nothing more than a DC. This is due to performance of both the DC and SharePoint.

RE: [OzMOSS] Moving the Sharepoint_Config Database to a new Server
HI Mark, Did you move the SharePoint_Config database? This is a bad idea and is not recommended to do at al as it contains very detailed machine/server details (server names, SID's, etc). Only Content databases should be moved between servers and the configuration databases should be rebuilt from the SharePoint Wizard from scratch. Cheers, DB From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Leonard Sent: Wednesday, 27 August 2008 2:40 PM To: listserver@ozmoss.com Subject: [OzMOSS] Moving the Sharepoint_Config Database to a new Server I've just completed the exercise of moving the MOSS 2007 system databases from one SQL Server to another. I've struck the problem of event id 3760 in the server application log, on the MOSS server, where it's trying to locate the Sharepoint_Config database on the old (original) server. Web searches on this problem seem to suggest the only fix for this is to hack the Objects table in the Sharepoint_Config database and replace the details for the old database server entry with those of the new database server.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Developing for MOSS/WSS with VS2008
· Our server is running on 64-bit architecture. I understand that having VS2008 on the same box means you cant deploy solutions. Would it make any difference to stick with 32-bit on the dev environment? I think for the most part the x86/x64 is not too bad in this case, where developing on x86 should work fairly seamlessly. However saying that, I havent developed code for targeted x64. · Do you develop a VM from scratch and use an empty MOSS environment, or is it better to take a snapshot of your live/staging environments to try to emulate this as best you can? It really depends on what youre doing, for example if your content database is 100GB, you properly dont want to be loading that up in a VM, in which case I would just use a vanilla MOSS install and go from there. A somewhat sideway idea is the use of Windows Server 2008/Hyper-V in the laptop, which you could have your XP/Vista machine with office, etc and then have your developer VMs, I know a few people who have gone down this path and some more who are seriously considering it.

[OzMOSS] 404 when deleting a file in a document library
Hi all,
I've got a customer who is getting a 404 screen (full blown IIS 404 and
not SharePoint) when they are trying to delete the document.
They are running WSS v3 on a Windows Server 2003 standard box in a
Windows Domain.
Event Log reports nothing.
WSS logs report nothing.
The URL which is spitting out the 404 is :
http://site.com.au/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001Cmd=DeleteList={2A5CFF6
5-067D-4200-9818-127DFD35CA39}ID=1owsfileref=%2FShared%20Documents%2FT
estfile%2EtxtNextUsing=http%3A%2F%2Fsite%2Ecom%2Eau%2FShared%2520Docume
nts%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx
So, me being me, I tried to hit http://site.com.au/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll i
got the 404 and indeed got the 404 error. (.dll isn't exactly what you
would call a friendly file on a web server)
So to check it out on a SharePoint installation which I know works, I
hit up the same URL, but on my blog (without the query string
components) . i.e. http://www.danielbrown.id.au/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll
I get prompted to sign in, then get a nice error saying Cannot complete
this action. Nice, all fine and dandy.
I suspect it is IIS blocking of .dll file extension or something
similar.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Cheers Thanks,
Daniel

All I am curious to find out how people have set-up their development environments for SharePoint. ATM we have several developers. Each developer has their own virtual machine (running locally) containing Win2003, SQLServer, MOSS, VS.Net etc. Each developer is also in charge of the following -ensuring they have the latest source of the project -ensuring their virtual machine has the correct patches and service packs -ensuring that MOSS is setup and configure correctly -ensuring they take snapshots of their VM if they are doing anything that might break it This is a large amount of overhead for every developer. I was wondering how other people manage their environment. Are there better was to do this using a server based virtual environment? Perhaps each day a developer gets a new refreshed image hosted on the server. When changes need to be made (window updates, MOSS config etc) the base image is updated and the developers will get it on the next day. If a developer breaks their image they can simply get a new one. Anyone know of Microsoft links that talk about this stuff? Assume for this discussion that hardware is not an issue and both VMWare and Microsoft are options. What do you see as the perfect dev environment for MOSS? Regards.

I originally made the post with Live Writer, all worked an published fine. However when viewing the blog, the iframe has been removed, So the next step was to open the blog post via the SharePoint UI, select the Source open and read it in. When I hit OK, the link appears in the post as It should (in the editor), However when I publish the modified post, the iframe is removed once again. Does anyone know of away to stop the behaviour?

When running SPSReport everything appears fine, however, this error does appear: The specified SPConfigurationDatabase Name=SharePoint_Config Parent=SPDatabas eServiceInstance has been upgraded to a newer version of SharePoint. Please upgr ade this SharePoint application server before attempting to access this object. No backup of the database is available (grr!) Sounds serious and times are not running at all. My plan is to just blow away the configuration database and reattach the content databases then reinstall the WSS MOSS service packs. However never actually performing this action before, I'm after some information about the process of recreating the configuration database and reattaching the content databases. My understanding of this processes is . Backup everything (databases and images of web application servers) . Remove/Delete existing configuration database . Run the SharePoint technology wizard, creating a new farm CA site . Create a new web application (same settings as previous site, i.e. host header, port, etc) . Delete the newly created content database . Reattach the original content database. . Everything should work with the new databases as they did with the old (however, no more errors) Does anyone have any links to any white papers or sites, which outlines the process of attaching a existing content database? Or if someone has gone though this previously and has any advise, it is most welcome! Or is there any gotcha's with it?

RE: [OzMOSS] User Profiles and Property Types display
Hi David, A way of comes to mind of doing what your doing, is using a Placeholder and have it load a User Control when various values are selected. This could be done with AJAX so the page does not post back. The other ways I can think of (dynamically redrawing the page with a post back on each selection change) causes post back and requires a bit of thinking to get your head around.

If the site has anything in it bar a default team site or another standard template.. wham, a magnitude of errors. I'm 0 for 2 attempts to install it on a instance with any substance due to all these kind of funky and obscure errors. Such as that the process that is running inside of STDADM is preventing the current one. Try running this one again during the running of the config wizard???

I have a virtual environment (my development environment) which is a self-contained domain/sql/sharepoint server + development tools - and i'm trying to install Sharepoint SP1. I install WSS 3.0 SP1, close the configuration manager, run the Sharepoint SP1 installation and then the configuration manager (as has been advices all over the interweb). Both installs just fine. But, the configuration manager dies just after i've been informed that i have to run the update on all farm servers etc. I click OK and then BANG - it fails. The error is an IdentityNotMapped exception. I cannot, for the life of me get this resolved. After this, naturally WSS and Sharepoint is dead. Cannot roll it back so i have to bring up one of my virtual image backups (yes, virtulisation does have its uses). Does anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this? I've checked the credentials for the SQL Server, the service accounts and the application pools..everything is honky dorry. I've tried to install this update 8-9 times so far - all have failed at approximately the same place each time.

RE: [OzMOSS] Refresh page problem!!!
If you are experiencing the issue with open the page in the browser then
edit it in SP designer and then try and edit the page in the browser
again, then I would say it would be an expected result.
If it just happens out of the blue with no other users online, then
certainly it needs investigating.
However, I've never encountered this happening, only when I've edited it
in 1 application and then try to edit it again in another application
without refreshing first.

Yes, sometimes i do that.
I also found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892348
Not sure if changing the affinity will solve the problem.
Strangely, I have encountered another problem. When I copy folders from
WSS 2.0 sites to WSS 3.0 sites, the contents are not copied across.
Just wondering if this is caused by session state.
