    - Uploading Pages to Publishing Site Pages Library Does any know how to upload documents to publishing sites and then change the page layout of the page Here is what I did: From Publishing Site Link -> Select Actions -> All Site Content When I select the page that was uploaded into the page library, I only see the content of my page. I do not get any of the publishing toolbars, etc. Also, I noticed that the PageLayout field for the uploaded page was blank.

    - MOSS dynamic list I'm part of a team that is implementing MOSS for a large organization. We are planning a site collection that would house a large number of sub sites. It would be nice to have a list that dynamically shows all of the sub sites - I know a table of contents web part gives me this information, but I also want to include some metadata (name of subsite, description of subsite, and category of subsite) in my list which the TOC WP wont do. Does anyone know how I could make a list that would automatically grow when a subsite is created, automatically shrink when a subsite is deleted, and could accomodate metadata Thanks, Lou Sanderson Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - DMZ setup? We would like to setup an intranet side access to SharePoint with also a farm in a DMZ to allow internet access. Whether this is done by publishing to the internet zone or by direct access I am not sure yet. The internet licence is $40k, whereas I am led to believe we could do this WSS v3.0 on the internet side. Is that possible MOSS on intranet, WSS on internet with external connector for $2k instead Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - How to Hide links from some users Hi I've added the link web part to my site. I'm adding links to other sharepoint sites in this link webpart. one link is intended for students and the other links is for staff. I don't want students to see the link which is for staff, and it is fine for staff to see the two links. so, students should see (student link) only staff should be able to see (student link and staff link) I'm not sure if the target audience will help to solve this but what i did is: for the link settings I checked the target audience I edited the staff link and selected the AD staff group. I logged in as students and nothing change!! students are able to see the 2 links Am I doing something wrong Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Problem with list templates and features Hi I'm creating a custom list template as a feature. The problem is that SharePoint can't seem to find my schema.xml for the list. In all examples I have found, the schema.xml file is always placed in a folder directly below the feature folder, with a name identical to the name of the list (as specified in the ListTemplate element). That won't work for me, however. The schema.xml for my list can be found at [featurename]\ListTemplates\[listname]\schema.xml. I have several list templates in my feature and want to organize them in a ListTemplate folder in my feature directory. But that means that SharePoint can't find the files, it seems. Everything works if I place the folder containing my list template schema.xml directly in my feature folder, however. Is it possible to solve this problem The SDK mentions a Path attribute in the ListTemplate element which can be used to specify an alternative path to the schema.xml, but doesn't really mention what the path should look like... The error I get looks like this, by the way: Exception from HRESULT: 0x81070201 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.CreateListFromFormPost(String bstrUrl, String& pbstrGuid, String& pbstrNextUrl) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.CreateListFromFormPost(String bstrUrl, String& pbstrGuid, String& pbstrNextUrl) Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - ULS Exceptions HI We're using MOSS for a public website baased in a two-server farm (DB and MOSS) and we are continually seeing errors raised relating to the Unified Logging Service. Each time these errors occur, the App Pool re-cycles and we loose the site for a short period of time. The errors are occuring fairly regularly, roughly once or twice an hour. Exceptions are as follows: EventType ulsexception12, P1 w3wp.exe, P2 6.0.3790.1830, P3 42435be1, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 19501, P8 6, P9 cryptographicexception, P10 8yr8. Looking in the trace for this one we get many "System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Keyset does not exist" messages. Another exception we seem to be getting, although less often, is: A runtime exception was detected. Details follow. Message: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. Techinal Details: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. at Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.ULS.GetParamData(Object[] paramData, Byte[]& result, GCHandle[]& handles, String additionalData) For more information, see Help and Support Center at Is anybody seeing anything similar I've googled this and come up completely blank.

    - Adding Portal Site Navigation to MySite Although the MySites are really a separate site collection (or web application), from a user experience perspective, many clients want a seemless experience between a portal and the My Site. We need to be able to provide the same navigation (i.e top flydown menu navigation) for My Sites as we have in a portal in another site collection (or web application). I have seen a few posts on this, referencing using the PortalSiteMapDataSource, however, the one post that seemed to spell out how to do this did not work as shown. Also, from other posts, it appears that the PSMD only operates in the context it is within. In other words, I cannot point it to another site. Basically, we want a seemless user experience between a portal site and my Site. Now, somone may say "What if you have more than one Portal... which navigation would you use on My Site ". For most companies a single portal is all they have.... at least that is our experience... Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    - Recommended way to pass identity to Excel Services hello, I am wondering what is the best approach here. I have a web application that will authenticate with Excel Svcs. I want a service account to be used by the application to access Excel Svcs. In my application, the user will be authenticated using a custom HTTPHandler that the whole company uses and isn't modifiable. So in the application the user will be authenticated as domain\Joe. I don't want domain\joe to be a member of the service account group (if the service account is a group account which i don't want to have either). I will be setting domain\joe up in sharepoint with read-only access or no access at all. This will allow the service account to have higher privileges than domain\joe or allow domain\joe to not have any privileges in sharepoint. Does the service account need more privileges than read only in regards to working with a workbook what is the best way to handle this authentication thanks!

    - Help with pasting into Rich Text Field I am using ExecuteAction("Copy") to copy a section on the form and I want to paste that section into a rich text field in an infopath form. ExecuteAction("Paste") doesn't seem to work no matter what I try. I keep getting the error: "The specified bstrAction value for the View.ExecuteAction call is not applicable for the current selection." (I am writing in C#) I was thinking there must be some way to simply paste the contents of the clipboard into the field but can't seem to find the right way to do it. This is some of the code.. // Select nodes in specified XPathNavigator. CurrentView.SelectNodes(FS1); // Get selected nodes. XPathNodeIterator selectedNodes = CurrentView.GetSelectedNodes(); this.CurrentView.ExecuteAction(ActionType.Copy); The Copy works perfectly. I am using selectsinglenode to get and set the values of fields on the form but this doens't work for this problem.

    - Clarification needed for permissions inheritance I've been trying to figure out why I have some users from my parent site showing up in my "All People" list of users on a subsite when those users are not in any of the Members, Owners, or Visitors groups on the subsite. See my earlier post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1614695&SiteID=1&mode=1 I've made sure that the permissions are unique on the subsite and NOT inherited from the parent site. So, I guess I'm looking for clarification (or resolution) as to why users from the parent site show up on the child site. My earlier post provides some examples of how I designed the site heirarchy and this may be the root cause but I'm hoping for some guidance here. Thanks!

    - Auto create a workspace - event handler or workflow designer? Hi - what would be the quickest way to have a workspace automatically created when a check box column is ticked for a list item Basically we need to replicate the functionality available in a calendar list where you can tick the checkbox to create a workspace when adding a new item but we need it for a Task and Issue list. From what I can tell, some level of coding is required but if anyone knows a way of creating this functionality without code that would be ideal.

    - Sharepoint, Workflow, and Pop3 My boss has asked if sharepoint services 3.0 can log into a mail server (via pop3), retrieve the email, insert the email into a list, and then create workflow based on subject. I see how to configure it to send/recieve email via SMTP, however I dont see any way to log into a mail server via pop3. Am I missing something is this an option The intent is to create a basic workflow for an email ticketing system, using our existing email system (until such time as they consider moving to exchange). I would appreciate any feedback on this, as the other option is to go with a third party, proprietary solution, that is not compatible with anything else... but can do this one task.

This takes the users to a another basic page - a webpart page which both reside in the 'pages' library.

    - SharePoint actions IDs Hi, I'd like to hide some standard list item actions, like "alert me" using <hidecustomaction> tag in list template. To do so action-id is needed. Does anyone know how to get standard actions ID's (ie. "Edit" or "Manage Permissions" for list item in preview form).

    - How to configure user email address I was wondering if there is a way to configure email addresses for MOSS users. When I add a user from AD the email address that was set for that user in the AD is shown in MOSS. But I have found no way to edit this address or otherwise add additional email addresses to a user. Is this Possible Is the email address coming from AD the only way to set an email for a user What about having multiple addresses Thanks.

    - How to use Filter Web Parts with Excel Services Pivot tables Hi, something very easy: I have a filter Web Part (data from SSAS) and a Excel sheet with a Pivot table getting some data from the same cube... I have a filter in the pivot table for the year... So I have defined the filter web part to display the years from the same dimension I used for the pivot table's filter. The idea was to have multiple excel files on a dashboard and all are filtered by year using the filter web part. The question is: What do I have to do in Excel to define that the filter web part can overwrite the filter in the Pivot table What do I have to do to link the Excel files (running in Excel Services) to the Filter Web Part Thanks, Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Restore problem Hi, I tried to preform a test restore in a dummy enviroment, but things did not go well. Please assist: Scenario 1: I had a new dummy SQL server and a dummy share point server. I created a new farm in the sharepoint box and then restored everything from the catastropic backup in central administration (the catastropic backup was a full backup in the production environment); the restore went well, and there was no problem. However, all the pictures (logo, background), email configuration, user groups and etc were gone. I then re-added the user group, so I could log in. All the files and content were there, but I kept on getting a login popup to the old Sharepoint server What's the problem Scenario 2: I had a new dummy SQL server and a dummy share point server. I restored the SQL backups (Content, Config and AdminContent) from the production sharepoint to the dummy SQL server. I then installed sharepoint on the dummy sharepoint server and joined it to an existing farm; during the joining process, I pointed it to the dummy SQL server. Installation went well. I logged on to the central administration site and all the config was there. However, when I tried to access to sharepoint user site, I got prompted to the old sharepoint box.

    - Piggybacking the Crawler: Protocol Handler / Gatherer Archival Plugin / IFilters My goal is to extend search by feeding crawled content to an ancillary semantic indexer. What I want is a copy of each file as it is being indexed, nothing more. I am looking at search architecture for the first time and am trying to determine the best course of action to achieve the goal above: Plugin/Addons: Gatherer Archival Plugin, other Wrap/extend protocol handler Wrap/extend each IFilter Monitor gatherer directories Is there some other plug-in to the indexing architecture other than Protocol Handlers or IFilters In Bill English’s “Administrator's Guide to SharePoint Portal Server 2001” he mentions, “Multiple plug-ins can look at the same data stream and then perform actions for which they are configured. For instance, while the auto-categorization plug-in is working with the data stream to suggest category associations for a document…” which sounds like what I’m looking for. I understand search now is a very different animal but I see a reference to “Gatherer Archival Plugin” in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Global\Gatherer Archival Plugin). I simply want the data stream of every file/page/ect indexed so I can submit it to an ancillary indexer. I’m not sure of the best way of doing this. Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    - Migrate content from one SQL 2000 box to another I have read dozens of articles on the subject of migration, but this seemingly simple task is pretty complex. I could not find any article that directly addressed my situation, so before I jump in head first I thought I would ask the community. Right now my SharePoint WSS 3.0 consists of a web front end and a separate SQL 2000 backend. For performance and reliability reasons I would like to move the databases to our SQL 2000 cluster. The front end will not change. What is the best practice for migrating all SharePoint databases from one SQL 2000 server to another This is a pretty important SharePoint server, so I would like to leave nothing up to guessing. The closest document that I could find is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894164 , but that is for SPS 2003, so I imagine there are some differences. Thanks.

    - Adding users - distribution lists not available as option Hello, Between our test server and prodcution server, we are having an issue when it comes to adding users. On the test box, we can add both DL's and Security Groups - however on the production server it seems as if we can only add Security Groups. Our distribution lists are in a different domain rather than the one the SharePoint box is in. The only thing I can think of, is a a permissions issue. I believe I am using a domain admin account on the test server which has permissions to the domain with the DL's. Any other thoughts or did I miss a step in configuring the production server Thanks, Brian Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Updating List Item with Workflow Hi there, I'm developing Workflows for MOSS 2007 in VS 2005 (c# or vb, depending on my mood ). At the moment, I have the following problem: with the command workflowProperties.Item("Titel") = "toller Titel" I can change the value of a list field. Right now I want to change a field containing a user or a user group. Doing it with the command above, it does not work.

Does anyone have a reference that describes the procedure for and best practices for moving a WSS site from test to production

Does anyone have a reference for tools that move only the new content to production environment (incremental upgrade)

Regards,

i think the best way is to detach the database from the test server and then attach it to the production web application. Somebody posted a good how to blog post a while back but I can't seem to find it. In a nutshell:

1. do a full backup of your farm

2. use central admin on your production server to start the restore but only restore your content databases, configurations databases will need to be fresh.

3. create new web applications with the database pointing to the corresponsing ones that you just restored.

you'll want to do a few practice runs before you do this on your production server.

This solution is the best way for the first deploy.

I search a solution to manage the incremental upgrade the content's site. Do you know the tools that only extract from the wss (stage) the new content and move it in production site

Regrads,
