RE: Search dropdown different depending on which server is accessed

Is this while browsing the same site collection on two different boxes? Search scopes are added per site collection so I'm just curious what you're seeing. Is it also affecting the scope list in Advanced Search web part? From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behal

No, I mean the new scope won't appear in dropdown box unless you update it * Browse to the central administration site and Click the SSP for the site collection. * Click on search settings and then Click on Start update now. My clue was about checking if the crawling works or not

Re: Search dropdown different depending on which server is accessed

If you edit your web.config file for the web application and change a few settings you can get a more detailed error message. Change the *SafeMode, CustomErrors *and *Compilation* lines in your web.config to these values... (examples below) http://blogs.msdn.com/ericwhite/archive/2008/10/02/modifi

RE: Search dropdown different depending on which server is accessed

RE: Search dropdown different depending on which server is accessed

Maybe it was due to adding all the possible addresses that the site could be contacted on into the Alternate Access Mappings... I added both server names and localhost... - Brendan From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Brendan Law Sent: Friday, 18 Sep

Could it be that someone is changing the library level permissions to inherit, or is it just random list items? OOTB site level auditing only seems to capture permission changes at the library/list level. Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall that the Item Level Auditing solution is able
