    - Does WSS3 kill existing IIS applications? In reading KB823265 it seems to say that if you install WSS 3 on an existing application server that then your applications you had installed prior to the WSS 3 installation no longer work because WSS 3 is now getting all the requests.

    - How do I change the layout of the master Page? Is there a place in MOSS 2007 where I can change the layout of my default Master page to have the Quick Links on the right, instead of the default left side of the page I remember seeing something like a layout page template picker, but I cannot find it any more. I'm not talking about Themes or page customization. I want to select the layout of my page - Where the Navigation will be, the quick links selection, etc. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.

    - Performance Optimization Hi, We hosted WSS 2.0 in our org. as a server farm. All our servers are high end servers with Intel Xeon 3GHz processors, 4GB ram, 200GB Harddsik etc. It takes approx 50-60 secs for the home page to load in http:// and more than 5 mins in https:// But, Our web server is running in a seperate n/w (ie., 10.101.xxx.xxx) with a link speed of 100Mbps and our DB server is placed in a seperate n/w (ie., 10.100.yyy.yyy) with a link speed of 1Gbps. Will this affect the n/w performance How can increase the speed of my server or what should i do to improve the performance Thank you.

    - question about searchbox Sherman If I understand your problem correct then what you are essentially saying is that the user will issue search for en-us from a search box in a particular page and for fr-ca scope from all together different page. So you do not want to show en-us scope to people going to http://server/fr-ca and vice versa. This is possible by setting the following properties on the searchboxex control UseSiteDefaults="false" DropDownModeEx = "HideScopeDD" SearchResultsPageUrl="http://server//%PathToYourResultsPage% On the results page specified in the search results page url property you can go and set the default scope on the results webpart. Hopefully this works for you. -Puneet Tag: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Version number of documents Hi, When you use version control on a document library the version allways start counting from 1.0 (first major check in). I want to upload a lot of documents that allready are under some sort of versioning system (manually, they keep logs of changes in an excel sheet). I would like to put them under version control in Sharepoint, but make the starting version the last number they had in their old system. So, upload a document and change the version to 3.4 for example. Is there a way to do that and change the version or do I really have to check in check out a few times to let the count go up Frederik Tag: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Aggregate functions when querying lists Does anyone know how to query a list for the number of items that fulfill a certain requirement without actually returning all those items Can one do this in CAML using SPQuery Or any other class using the SharePoint API As a last resort, I imagine one could query the table in the database directly using SQL. How do I find the names of the database, table and columns Thanks, Markus Tag: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Sharepoint Backup (Symantec v Avepoint) I am glad I happened upon this thread, as I am looking for a backup solution more granular than SharePoint's built in, or a full SQL Server backup. I am using MOSS 2007 Enterprise x64 and I have CommVault as my backup software. I purchased a MOSS 2007 Data Agent for CommVault, which presumably would do a great job backing up SharePoint, except that the Data Agent is for 32bit ONLY. I am working with CommVault to see if they have an x64 version coming up any time soon. I can not vouch for the Data Agent working, because it won't work in my environment. I have been looking at AvePoint and am wondering if anybody has used it in production and what you can say about it Tony, I am sure you can rave, and would be happy to hear it, but am curious if there is anybody else using it.

    - Create a folder workflow Well, not really. It is far preferred (for several reasons) to use metadata and views / filters to organize the data instead of having separate folders within a document library. Check out http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2006/01/03/434454.aspx for some reinforcement.

    - Auditing Site Permissions I need to audit site (and subsite) permissions. I'm interested in two things Sites that have NT Authenticaed Users in their acl Whether the site inherits permissions from the parent site I know there are tools out there for $3k-7K but it seems stupid to pay that much for something which should be simple to figure out and SHOULD be in the product. Anyway, my approach is to go directly into he SQL tables which I know isn't the best approach but its what seems to be working. The query I have thus far looks like this: Select w.fullurl, w.title, w.RequestAccessEmail from userinfo u join webs w on w.siteid = u.tp_siteid where u.tp_title like '%Authenticated%' and w.fullURL like '%/Site%' order by w.fullurl asc However when I change a site (removing NT Authenticated users) it still shows up in the list. I would think it should be deleted bt apparently not. Where is this delete flag stored. Also, while its pretty simple to pull in the Parent Web Id and name I can't find the flag for inherit permissions from parent site. Is this information stored in the webs.ACL column I'm hoping to not have to figure out the ACL format.

    - Clearer display title in search results from a list with MOSS 2007? Hi there, Using MOSS 2007's search, I've noticed that search results for items that come from a list (links for example) all have the same title. They all use the same title of "DispForm.aspx". Is there anyways to have SharePoint use the display name of the actual item instead of the display name of the page Thanks, kswail Tag: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Restoring Share Point DB with a different Name You could restore it if you were overwriting another copy. You are not doing that--you are attempting to rename it mid-stream which adds some complication to the process. If you were restoring it renamed to a totally different environment, it would likely work because the index file would be usable and not attached to another database. In your scenario though--you have created a rather unique situation where two databases will attempt to use the same index database. So you will have to resolve that before you can use it. Once it is resolved, you could back up this new database and restore it normally.

    - SmartPart question: Communication only works in one direction I've modified the source code of SmartPart 0.1.0.0 to suit my needs. I have an OnClick event in the ascx.cs file of the Web User Control. I also have a drop down list in the Web User Control when I change the contents of the drop down list in the RenderWebPart-method of the modified SmartPart I can see that the contents of the drop down list has changed. But when I press the Submit button the old value of the Selected Item in the drop down list is used. How do I make the OnClick event in the ascx.cs file use the new contents of my drop down list (and also the currently selected item). Communication only seems to work in one direction, from the Web User Control to the Web Part, and not in the other direction. I guess you could put the OnClick event in the Web Part and thereby only have the ascx form as the user control moving all logic to the Web Part (in my case the Smart Part). Is there a way to make communication work in both directions (When I set the value of a textBox in the web part the change only takes place in the Web Part and not in the web user control. What is shown in the browser is the altered contents, but when I press the Submit button I still have the old values.) /Lars Tag: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory SharePoint Products and Technologies

Hi,

Is there any application definition file for Active Directory.

I want all users from active directory for given groups or some other criteria...

Please help...

Thanks!

In order to access AD information from BDC, you need to have a web service that exposes AD information. Though I am not 100% sure, I doubt if it is built into the AD. However, you can build your own web service using ADSI or System.DirectoryServices, which is relatively easy to do, and then you can write your application definition on your web service. If you want to access user group or user information stored in Sharepoint, you can check out the post I put up earlier on another thread, but that would be a more challenging exercise.

Re: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory

Muhammad Masood

You are right... I thought it...

ok. I will do it using web service... but is there any mapping so that system will know that all users are from Active Directory... coz there is an attachment of user profile...and itegration of Live Communication etc.

Thanks.

Re: SharePoint - Business Data Catalog BDC Application definition file for Active Directory

I think you can create one additional return parameter in your web service call to identify the record as being from AD, then your BDC will know its origin. Presumably you can build a web service to collect all user information from different sources such as LDAP and databases, and if each record is identified with this additional return parameter, then your application can use it to do its business logic.
