Re: Access is denied when create a subsite

That's a better response Ishai. *"**in general you should always prefer impersonation using the SPSite class and SPUserToken objects."* SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges is overused by many when there are better options available. Sezai. On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Ishai Sagi wrote: >

Re: Access is denied when create a subsite

How have you created *parentWeb*? It is likely that parentWeb was created in a non-elevated context, see these examples for an explanation of this problem. http://daniellarson.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D3543C5837291E93!927.entry http://www.davehunter.co.uk/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=f0e16a1a%2

Re: Custom theme not inheriting on team site

Agreed, go with feature stapling. Even though that blog talks about My Sites you can use the same concept for automatically applying a theme, master page or custom css url for newly created sites of any type. You need two features. 1) Create a Feature Stapling Feature which is a Feature that tells

Re: Custom theme not inheriting on team site

That is probably it, when you create a new Team Site it doesn't have the custom Master Page applied by default. You might be able to navigate to the home page of the site collection and re-apply your custom Master and select it to be inherited by all subsites which might switch it for the team site

Re: Trap document View and Download

I came across the same site a month or two ago. I really could have used their PDF generation component in a previous project, we ended up developing our own by utilising another 3rd party .NET PDF generation component.I also had the exact same thoughts as Paul with regards to their auditing produc

Re: Problem in Sharepoint Installation

If it's a domain account, make sure to specify the account with the domain, ie: *domain\username* **Its likely that with the single server install you utilised a local server / non-domain account, with multiple machines you can't specify machine accounts from one machine in another machine. It's a

Re: Site features vs site collection features

You are right about the Office SharePoint Server Publishing site feature, a ton of things are not available without it active, if you create a basic Team Site you can't manage navigation, switch the master page, create publishing pages etc, you'll notice a big difference in the number of options av

Re: Backup over 15GB using built-in tools [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

You usually get warnings on running stsadm -o import related to permissions such as: [6/5/2009 1:57:27 PM]: Warning: User or group 16 cannot be resolved. Last time I did an import I had 30 odd warnings related to importing users or groups. Did you have any warnings/errors in your import log? Seza

Re: Problem Joining Server to Farm [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I've seen recommendations for having dual NICs in WFEs so that inbound requests to WFEs
