We use a SharePoint wiki* at the office to serve as a knowledgebase for our IT operations. Recently we went through a disaster recovery exercise where we realized we had a key hole in our plans: how do you restore the services if your instruction…
I'd like to copy files from a network drive to a SharePoint site (perhaps as a mapped drive). What's a good client to do so? Obviously Windows (XP) Explorer is bad, I'm trying RichCopy at the moment. Any opinions on CoreFTP? Are there any…
When people are added to a WSS site, their title and department are imported from Active Directory. As time goes on, titles and departments can change. Is there a way to get this information updated in the WSS site?
WSS 3.0:Windows2003
I have a content database that keeps growing for the name of simply, "WSS_Content"
This database is aside from all the other content databases that are linked to an web application, but located in the same directory. I count 5…
I've got a Windows 2003 x86 server with a small WSS3.0 installation. Now we've bought a new server with Windows Server 2008 x64 and installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 on it. I wish to transfer the few lists and their view from the old WSS3 to…
Recently we have moved our sharepoint 2007 db from sql 2000 server to 2008 x64 SQL server.
All seems well, however there is a problem where the sql server stops running and the service has to be restarted.
The errors mention insufficient internal…
I have to give a presentation to a client who is interested in SharePoint. My experience is primarily with MOSS 2007. I have customized and developed sites on MOSS 2007 but haven't had much time to play with WSS 3.0. The client wants an idea of…
I am using Windows Server 2008, running in a Hyper-V VM. The system performs very badly. We're pretty sure it's due to insufficient memory. I've looked at How to find out if my Windows Server 2003 needs more memory?, and I'm pretty sure from seeing…
We have some old sharepoint data (from a WSS 3.0 SP1 or SP2 install), that I need to restore. Problem is: This is a time management site, and one of the fields automatically pics up the user name of the user that enters data, and this is used to…
In SharePoint it is possible to configure the Primary and Secondary site collection administrators from SharePoint Central Administration. It is also possible to configure them from the Site Collection Administrators page under Site Settings.

Do I need to install/configuge the (entire and expensive) Windows Sharepoint Server (is the 2007 version sufficient?) or am I fine with Sharepoint Services 3.0 in order to work with the sharepoint workspace in the office hub on Windows Phone…
I am looking for a solution that will allow users to share the same document across multiple document libraries. No matter the location of the document, if the user edits the document or its metadata, the changes should be reflected in all of the…
I installed WSS 3.0 as part of Search Server Express 2008 installation package, and used SQL Server 2005 Standard as backend database, all of them in one server.
What's the best backup strategy for me? I've already upload a lot of document in the…
Let me start by saying that if I've missed out on some very basic papers, KBs or anything, feel free to link me in the right direction. I've checked some threads here and haven't found the answer to the questions I have.
I've created a simple script…
