    I’m doing research today to answer multiple questions. Questions: I recreated my MOSS 2007 SSP a while back and now MySite creations aren’t working for anyone. It’s not working exactly like the discussion at Technet Forums. Still researching this one. On a related note, I need to nail down exactly how to create personalized MySite…

  • Installing .NET 3.0 on a balky workstation

    So if you keep trying to install .NET 3.0 and keep getting an error during install (and looking at the Error Log link in the failure message refers to the Windows Communication Framework being missing), go look for a file named something like “dd_dotnetfx3install.txt” in your %temp% directory (in my case, that was at C:\Documents…

  • Deleting an unwanted file or set of files completely from your Subversion repository

    This is not designed to be easy to do, since Subversion is a source control repository, but it’s possible. We had a large file added to our repository by a new guy, who will not since do such a thing again, and it’s not a big deal except that we do backups every day, and…

  • IE 7’s friendly HTTP messages are unfriendly if you want IIS To do custom error messages

    So IE7, by default, overrides Web Servers’ custom error messages with very helpful “friendly” reinterpretations of error messages. To turn these off through the UI, go to Internet Options -> Advanced, and disable “Show friendly HTTP error messages”. Thanks, Microsoft! Also found at: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main!Friendly http errors (according to the Vista GP excel spreadsheet)

    Oooh! Shiny!

  • Oy! – Inaccuracy in order of steps in a MS support document screws up the process

    This almost sucked. Hard. The Microsoft Technet article I linked to previously about moving the WSS Content Database in WSS 2003 is pretty good! Except for the last section, under Moving the Datases, subsection “Set the content database in Windows SharePoint Services”. Unfortunately, the article says you should, for each Virtual Server, remove/disconnect each content…

  • Just updated to WordPress 2.0.7

    Done via Dreamhost’s One-click installs/upgrades. Seems to be working fine.

  • Miscellaneous research points from this morning

    A decent “buyers’ guide” for Antivirus plugins for SharePoint is at Windows IT Pro. Instructions for moving from one set of content databases to another in SPS 2003 (aka v2) on Technet. Am currently trying to work on the UPDATE problem for Data View Web Parts in MOSS 2007/SharePoint Designer.

  • Simple read-write connection of a database table (non-SharePoint) to a DataView Web Part in MOSS 2007

    Test this out/play with it in a test area. Don’t do this in production. Duh. Required: SQL Server 2005 SharePoint v3 (I don’t honestly know, but I think just WSS 3.0 w/o MOSS 2007) SharePoint Designer 2007 A SQL account with db_datareader and db_datawriter permissions on the database in question, and the account’s password A…

  • 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…
