  • Getting WebDAV to work for Windows Network Providers against SharePoint 2007

    The picture is not entirely complete here, but I made a lot of progress with this as an open (now closed) troubleshooting ticket with Microsoft. The short summary is that using a Microsoft whitepaper (linked to below), I could get Windows XP SP2 workstations to work properly opening an Explorer View to a SharePoint 2007…

  • Kerberos and SharePoint 2007 notes

    Recently we had cause to do a whole lot of research ourselves and end up calling Microsoft to get our implementation vetted and troubleshot (it was not working – all or almost all connections that should have been Kerberos connections were degrading back to NTLM. Here are the salient notes and facts about troubleshooting and…

  • Generic List View Web Parts missing the View Selector drop-down – mitigation strategies

    Had a user who accidentally (I assume, since he seems to think it’s because of  an operation I did well before that that was unrelated – see previous post) deleted the automatically created List View Web Part in the AllItems.aspx page. Now he wants the full toolbar and the View Selector drop-down. Well and good,…

  • MOSS 2007 – Setting up a Search Center as a subsite to a Team Site-based Site Collection

    Creating a Search Center as a subsite Search Center for a Team Site site collection didn’t seem to create or properly hook up a People Search Results page within that Search Center for the People Search Scope. Doing a People search after having ONLY created a Search Center and set the Site Collection to use…

  • Global Navigation changed after enabling Publishing Infrastructure

    So before I enabled the Publishing Infrastructure feature, the top nav bar tabs showed the leftmost tab reading “Home”. After enabling it and later disabling it, the leftmost tab read as the site title (as set in the site settings). Great but all my functional tests are written to search for the tab reading “Home”.…

  • Enabling the KPI Lists feature in SharePoint 2007

    I had to blog around to find this. I had a site collection that didn’t have the KPI list available under custom lists, and I wanted to enable it. Blogs/forum posts: SharePoint from Scratch Required: SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise Enable Enterprise Features in Central Administration (Operations Tab) Enable Features on Existing Sites in Central Administration…

  • DCOM 10016 errors

    Because my systems admin reminded me while cleaning out the logs for our new load test environment, here’s how you can fix them on your WSS box. This is something an old colleague and I found out in October of last year, found on a blog entry from Søren Nielsen from April of last year.…

  • “Unknown Error” and OOTB SharePoint 2007 builtin Workflows

    If you are playing with Approval workflows, and you find that your workflows are erroring out even when you think it should have completed successfully, make sure you aren’t in a situation where you’re updating the approval status without having the approval functionality of your document or workflow library enabled. It’s all built-in, but it…

  • A good guide to Configuring Incoming E-mail Settings for Office SharePoint Server

    (though I didn’t get it entirely right, apparently) Link (Technet).

  • Dev VM Farm Notes

    Had a similar problem to this one, wherein the SharePoint Timer service appeared to be screwing around with my app pool settings for my SSP web application. Not entirely sure what caused it (because I wasn’t taking notes – trying to set this one up quickly) but I found the problem while trying to set…
