Web Part Installs on SharePoint 2003 in environments where you don’t control the Database

In a continuing series of mishaps involved with a very abstracted permissions environment where one group controls all admin rights on the server, except for the group that controls all admin rights on the Database, I discovered today that if you need to install a Web Part in SharePoint 2003, you need to do it…

I have been negligent – bullet updates, but I’ll get around to the major stuff later

Since I fully expect next month to be a slow month, I should be able to catch up a little. Anyhow: I am installing the Release bits of Microsoft Office 2007. I don’t know if I’ve already plugged CCleaner but I’m doing so again. I needed it because Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh didn’t…

Very good permissions overview for SharePoint

From modonovan’s SharePoint and Stuff, comes a gem of a blog post about SharePoint Services and App Pool Account Permissions. It’s from last year, but quite relevant (to my current troubles, anyway).

Search Link Salad

Stuff for me to remember based on current research (more about searching in WSS 2003, but am finding links related to future configurations of SPS2003 or MOSS 2007 search): Some documents are not returned in the search results when you use the Advanced Search feature in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to search for content that…

Web Part Packager – Link Salad

I went looking for a Web Part Packager install walkthrough with screenshots that a co-worker might find useful, but was unsuccessful. I did however find a bunch of links I wanted to save for myself.Â So if you don’t know about the Web Part Packager and you’re running SharePoint 2003 and developing/deploying web parts, learn…

Speculation – Further attempted fixes to WSS 2.0 Full Text Search

So the current situation is that despite my past posts about fixes to WSS 2.0/2003 Full Text Search, both my QA and Production environments have Full Text Search enabled, but are/were only returning results for content that pre-existed the fixes. The Full Text Index actually existed in the SQL Server Content Database (for WSS content),…

Using UNC Paths to access the “directory structure” in SharePoint 2003 – Requires WebClient service running on your client computer

So for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why on some computers I could use a UNC path to get to SharePoint sites’ resources, and on others I could. Now I think I finally have the answer. The mechanism is that if you have a WSS site (and Admin privs on that site) at…

Laptop/Notebook Hotfixes for MS Virtual PC 2004 SP1

So as you may know, Microsoft and many SharePoint dev houses swear by doing development on Virtual PCs/Virtual Servers. The reason for this boils down to the fact that when you are debugging a SharePoint Web Part with Visual Studio 2003, you have to connect to the active w3wp.exe process that IIS is using and…

Server Accounts, Changing them, Permissions Issues – Followup

In my previous post (opens in new window), I said I’d let you know how it went. Turns out for various reasons we didn’t get around to testing my assertions until this morning. It went fine. I was right about what was broken and what needed fixing. The implementation of the fix and the continued…

Database Migration breaks WSS/SQL Server Full Text Search

So here’s a little-known issue with SharePoint and Full Text Search: On Joel Oleson’s blog (if you don’t know who this guy is and you’re in SharePoint Operations, find out quickly. Aside from Bill English [the man, his blog], he’s the other Man in SharePoint Managment/Operations – both of these guys regularly present at TechEd…
