Adding a second App server

rinu_v — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:52:34 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I've been asked to research on adding a second app server to our farm. Our current farm has two WFE that are load balanced and we have one app server and clustered SQL backend. I've been asked to find out if its possible to add a second app server to our current environment to have full redundancy at each layer. We don't have indexing server in our current farm. The new server will serve as another application server. Is it possible to do that? If so, could you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Why are users denied access in SharePoint 2003

sthomson77 — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:06:44 GMT

Why are my users rejected, even if I pre-list them as contributers?

Intranet users can go to my List Library and complete a form I have setup by selecting "New Item". However, after they have completed the entire form, and select "Close and Save", they get a message saying that access is denied. They then need to make 3 attempts before getting the message where they can send access request to me, the administrator.

After I grant them access, then they can go back to the site and fill out the form again.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Add subsite navigation

davidmfox — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:45:15 GMT

Hello,

If I'm using main navigation at the top of my Intranet site, and I want to have each section have its own navigation in the left margin, is the Quick Launch the best tool for this? If so, is it possible for each section's own navigation to be unique? I'm not sure I know if creating a Quick Launch menu will only display links for one particular section, rather than the whole site, which I don't want. I tried using the "Insert Web Component" then choosing the Link Bars and whatever I created as a side navigation automatically showed up alongside my upper navigation, which I don't want. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sharepoint 2003

shailubhai — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:06:15 GMT

Hi Guys

I am trying to migrate my Sharepoint 2003 sites to Sharepoint 2007. Before sending out the migration communication, I would like to find out how many sites are being used or view on daily basis or monthly basis.

Can some one please tell my how I can find this? Can you please send me step by step instructions. Whether its enabling Logging to checking web logs on the server. How can I enable logging and where can I check the web logs??

Thanks

How to troubleshoot when site collection won't load?

gina_gentile@yahoo.com — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:31:17 GMT

I've created a site collection with the url, http://mytntdev. However, when I try to access that website, I get the error,

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

I've stopped/restarted IIS, but am not sure what else I should check to see why this site collection won't launch.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Deleting content source

Hello,

I'm new to sharepoint and I wanted to setup a custom scope. I ran into some issues and I wanted to delete the scope and content source and recreate it. But when I go to delete the content source, it just hangs there. I re-booted the server and still have no luck.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I had this issue a few weeks back and applied the latest hotfixs. However, it is happening again.

Daylight Savings Time was said to be one of the problems before. Now that the clocks have changed, is anyone having this issue too?

Thank you all

Need ideas to just database rights as a Sharepoint admin

kehedges — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:45:53 GMT

At my company, the database administrators are resisting granting my team ( Sharepoint admins) rights to our sharepoint databases. I am forming a document to justify the access. Has anyone else had to go through this kind of exercise?

Migrating Wikis through Web Services

dwinter — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:13:29 GMT

I just posted a large series where I talk about Migrating Wikis through Web Services. I know Eric has been working with web services in SharePoint. He posted recently on the topic--so to keep your minds going in that direction, I thought I'd throw the link down.

Tool to see entire farm in 'org chart' style view

FFjlocke — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:10:12 GMT

I'm trying to find a tool that will show me all of my site collections and all of their subsites in an org chart style view. I have SharePoint Designer 2007 and I'm able to see a site collection like this in the 'navigation' tab, but I need to see the entire farm. Can anyone suggest a tool that will do this? Quest's Discovery tool will also show me top level sites and subsites but it's a tree view and not able to be exported. Thanks in advance.

instalation difference between standard and enterprise

ed@dfw — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:02:33 GMT

What is the installation difference between MOSS 2007 Standard and Enterprise? We have been told that when MOSS 2007 is installed there is no way to restrict users from using the Enterprise options. We want to only install the standard version.

All Day Calendar Events in MOSS 2007 are shifted by 7 hours when synced with Outlook 2003

jherrmann — Fri, 04 May 2007 06:13:26 GMT

When click the checkbox on a calendar item in SP 2007 and select "this is an all day event", the item looks fine in SharePoint but when synced into Outlook 2003, it is shifted back by 7 hours (looks like GMT). I've checked the timezone in the site collection and on the workstation and they are both set to CST. If I create the calendar entry manually as a full day event starting at 12:00 am - 11:59 pm, it syncs into Outlook just fine. Has anyone else seen this?
