What are the integration differences between SP S 2003 and the various Office versions? Posted: SPS webpage can detect you have installed the Office 2003 and run local dll to implement some SPS function, e.g. multi-file upload only works when you have office 2003 installed. Integration with Office XP is gone. You will get guys telling you that you can integrate with SPSv2 if you install a backwards compatible document library - [...] |
| Can SharePoint compare two document versions? Posted: “In Word 2003, you can compare documents side by side. Open two documents. Then, from the Window menu of one of them, select the Compare Side By Side command. If you have only two documents open, the command will automatically choose to compare them. If you have three or more documents open, you’ll have to [...] |
| What are the various Sharepoint 2003 and Exchange integration points? Posted: This is a button on contacts or events lists that lets Outlook 2003 add a pst file named Sharepoint Folders and it links to the data on the site. It’s read-only, but you could make the home page for that PST be the Sharepoint site for easier viewing. The link to outlook feature seems more [...] |
| What is SharePoint from a Users Perspective? Posted: From a Users perspective SharePoint is a way of making documents and folders on the Windows platform accessible over the web. The user visits the SharePoint Portal web page, and from there they can add documents, change documents & delete documents. Through this Portal, these documents are now available for discussion, collaboration, versioning and being [...] |
| What is SharePoint from an Administration Perspective? Posted: Administering SharePoint mainly consists of setting it up, which is much easier than you expect, adding the content, which can be just dragging and dropping in whole directory structures and files, and then organizing the files better by giving them categories or other metadata. This is done either through the Web interface or through the [...] |
| What is SharePoint from a Technical Perspective? Posted: Technically SharePoint illustrates neatly what Microsoft’s .net strategy is all about: integrating Windows with the Web. Microsoft has previously made accessing stuff on a PC easier, (Windows) then on a network (NT) and now on the web (.NET). SharePoint is an application written to let a user access a web accessible directory tree called the [...] |
| What newsgroups are available? Posted: There are two, * microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver and * microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver.development. |
| Why do the workspace virtual directories show the error “stop sign” symbol in the IIS snap-in? Posted: If World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) starts before Microsoft Exchange Information Store (MSExchangeIS), “stop sign” symbols appear under the Default Web Site folder of the Internet Information Services console in Microsoft Management Console (MMC). There is a dependency between the local paths of the SharePoint Portal Server virtual directories and the MSExchangeIS. You must start [...] |
| How do I open an older version of a document? Posted: Normally, all previous versions are located in the shadow, so if you right click a published document from within the web folders, go to properties and then the third tab, versions you can view older versions. If you want to do this in code: strURL = "url of the last published version" Set oVersion = New PKMCDO.KnowledgeVersion Set prmRs [...] |
| Posted: The browser sends a DAV packet to IIS asking to perform a document check in. PKMDASL.DLL, an ISAPI DLL, parses the packet and sees that it has the proprietary INVOKE command. Because of the existence of this command, the packet is passed off to msdmserv.exe, who in turn processes the packet and uses EXOLEDB to [...] |
| Posted: SharePoint Portal Services (SPS) has MUCH better document management. It has check-in, check-out, versioning, approval, publishing, subscriptions, categories, etc. STS does not have these features, or they are very scaled back. SharePoint team Services (SPS) has a better search engine, and can crawl multiple content sources. STS cannot. STS is easier to manage and much [...] |
| Why Sharepoint is not a viable solution for enterprise wide deployments? Posted: Document management does not scale beyond a single server, but scales great within a single server. For example, a quad Xeon machine with 4GB of RAM works great for a document management server that has about 900,000 - 1,000,000 document, but if you need to store 50,000,000 document and want to have them all in [...] |
| What would you like to see in the next version of SharePoint? Posted: A few suggestions: # SPS and STS on same machine # Tree view of Categories and Folders # General Discussion Web Part # Personalization of Dashboards # Role Customization # Email to say WHY a document has been rejected for Approval # More ways to customize the interface # Backup and restore an individual Workspaces # Filter for Visio # Better way to track activity [...] |
| How is SharePoint Portal Server different from the Site Server? Posted: Site Server has search capabilities but these are more advanced using SharePoint. SPS uses digital dashboard technology which provides a nice interface for creating web parts and showing them on dashboards (pages). SS doesn’t have anything as advanced as that. The biggest difference would be SPS document management features which also integrate with web folders [...] |
| Does SharePoint work with NFS? Posted: Yes and no. It can crawl documents on an NFS volume, but the sharepoint database or logs cannot be stored there. |
| In a development environment, you must reset IIS every time you recompile assemblies. Posted: Licensing issues may arise due to the global availability of your assembly. |
| Posted: This option is most secure. An assembly can operate with a unique policy that meets the minimum permission requirements for the assembly. By creating a custom security policy, you can ensure the destination server can run your Web Parts. Requires the most configuration of all three options. Install your assemblies in the GAC Easy to implement. This grants Full trust to [...] |
| How can I raise the trust level for assemblies installed in the BIN directory? Posted: Windows SharePoint Services can use any of the following three options from ASP.NET and the CLR to provide assemblies installed in the BIN directory with sufficient permissions. The following table outlines the implications and requirements for each option. Option Pros Cons Increase the trust level for the entire virtual server. For more information, see “Setting the [...] |
| What does partial trust mean the Web Part developer? Posted: If an assembly is installed into the BIN directory, the code must be ensured that provides error handling in the event that required permissions are not available. Otherwise, unhandled security exceptions may cause the Web Part to fail and may affect page rendering on the page where the Web Part appears. |
| Will SharePoint Portal Server and Team Services ever merge? Posted: The products will come together because they are both developed by the Office team. |
