  • WSS on Server 2008

    We have some unique challenges installing WSS on Server 2008. First of all there's some chatter about WSS being offered as a Server 2008 Role. The assertion being that you can just go into Server Manager and run the Add Roles wizard to select the...

  • The Uninstall

    Okay, I've stepped into it. I started a post yesterday about how to back out of an install when you've got it wrong. What I did was select Kerberos Authentication for the Central Adminstration website and once the Configuration Wizard completed...

  • PSConfig.exe v. The Configuration Wizard

    In certain circles, you'll hear them say "There's no option to running the Configuration Wizard after you install the SharePoint Binaries. In another, in particular, the blog of our new friend, Alpesh, you'll hear that PSConfig.exe can...

  • Kerberos: Threats and Countermeasures

    Now the assignment is to brief our security group on the impact of our Kerberos configuration might have "downstream" specificially relating to "threats and countermeasures." I guess the theory is that by trusting accounts and servers...

  • .swf Files Won't Play in IE7

    I love putting other people's shockwave pages in page viewer web parts. I've sorted and filtered them to have a pretty handy reference of .swf solutions. The problem is in IE7; the .swf thingey just won't play. Try it in Firefox, no problem...

  • The New Book

    If you'll pardon the blatant commercialization, I'd like to let you know that my latest publishing effort is now available on Amazon.com. I'm credited as contributing editor and worked with Dr. Bradford for several months to publish Modern...

  • Kerberos SPN Command Calculator

  • MOSS and SCOM 2007

    We built our server farm and we have this other computer that runs SCOM 2007. The challenge is to get one to work with the other. I found the SharePoint Monitoring Toolkit here . This page has four download buttons: MOSS Management Pack installer (.msi...

  • The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your site configuration does not support the Datasheet.

  • IE Crashes When Opening Library Documents

  • Kerberos (Again)

    This is obviously one of the trickiest tools in the MOSS box. Previously, I referenced this industry standard post from Martin Kearn. And now we have this from TechNet . And this from TechNet Blogs . Installing it is one thing; proving that it's working...

  • Anonymous Access to Document Libraries

    This one is pretty peculiar. If you allow anonymous access in IIS and you allow anonymous access in your web app's authentication provider (in CA Application Managment) you can set Anonymous Access on the site's Advanced Permissions page by selecting...

  • WSS Alert Failures

    Maybe some of you brainiacs know why, but yesterday, I turned on the Remote Procedure Locator Service on my Server 2003 and restarted the timer service and, now, all of a sudden, my alerts have started working. In the past, the "You have created...

  • Executables in the 12 Hive

    When I run a search on *.exe in the \12 folder, I get: HCINSTAL.exe - This appears to be the executable that will install the Help Collection. It is sometimes an issue when language packs are installed as noted here . MSSDMN.exe - This is a process related...
