Another Hack's SharePoint Experiences

I've been playing with SharePoint for a few years now. Every now and again I'll post something that I found interesting about SharePoint or computing in general.

Upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 and Sharepoint

This is actually a problem with the Windows upgrade, but nonetheless the problem manifested itself while trying to install the sharepoint central database.

I had a development computer that was running Windows 2000 Server.  I wanted to run SharePoint and use Visual Studio.Net 2003 to create some web parts.  However, to do so, I had to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server.  Normally I don't upgrade, since problems occur.  However, I had heard some good things with the upgrade wizard. Note to self: never believe them.  The upgrade itself went smoothly, however, I started having problems once I tried installing SharePoint.

The installation itself was smooth, but once I had to configure/create the central database, I started having problems.  I'd fill out all the information, but every time I'd click submit I would be forwarded to a generic error message screen.  I then tried creating the DB from the command line, by running: “stsadm -o setconfigdb -databaseserver [name] -databasename [db name]” Then I got a decent error: GetTextExtentPointI could not be located in msdart.dll.  I found some good information here, and it fixed my problem for now.  Basically, you need to copy over the oledb32.dll from another server that got a fresh install of Windows Server 2003 to the upgrade server.

I hope that helps someone else out.

An hour after getting the box running, it died- BIG time. By this I mean it simply stopped working. Upon rebooting, the system wont even display BIOS information. My guess is that this is a hardware fault and that the CPU has died seeing as no information
