Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 includes the same powerful infrastructure for auditing user access to list items, and documents and pages included in MOSS. The only difference in auditing functionality between MOSS and WSS is that the UI for configuring and viewing audit trails has been removed. Microsoft provides information and code on MSDN on [...]

I recently banged my head against this one. I wanted a list of past meetings and another list for upcoming meetings in my meetings workspace. The calendar is picked up from the parent site using a DataFormWebPart and the “Connect to another library” function. This was all well and good, however, I needed the workspace [...]

Get list items by lookup id, not value:

<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Category" LookupId="TRUE" />
<Value Type="Integer">10</Value>
</Eq>

Notice that LookupId=”TRUE” is added to the FieldRef and that the value type is Integer, not Lookup.
Get list items that are assigned to the current user ([Me]).

<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="AssignedTo" />

I just have to share this problem I ran into this week and just couldn’t find the solution for. I recently installed and configured new Sharepoint MOSS 2007 farm. It has two servers, one server hosts all services and the other is a plain WFE. After a week or so in production the search server [...]

The problem was isolated to the main portal site collection which allowed everyone with an AD account to read pretty much all content in the site collection. All other site collections worked the way they were supposed to, which meant not allowing access unless it was given. Of course the first thing was to verify that anonymous access indeed was disabled and that the authenticated users group wasn’t given any rights. Further investigation gave the following confusing results

I encounterd a confusing error today when I was about to deploy a bunch of webparts in a Sharepoint MOSS farm. Stsadmin gave me the following error message for the command “stsadm -o AddSolution -filename ReportBroker.CAB”:
“reportbroker.cab” has an unsupported extension, and cannot be added to the solution store.
I found the answere to the problem on [...]

I first did some tests uploading files to my development server running WSS 3.0. From the bandwidth usage on that machine i quickly realized that the problem was the time it took for Sharepoint to store the file in the database. I whipped together a tool to measure the time it takes to store a binary file in an SQL database. The results were suprising.

A while ago a customer invested in a SQL-cluster and naturally wanted to move all databases there. There are a number of articles on the net on how to migrate to a new server, some more complicated than others. In my case I had a working SQL 2005 instance which was dedicated to the MOSS [...]
