After installing MOSS and launching the SharePoint Configuration Wizard (psconfig.exe) - you are ready to begin the last leg of your MOSS installation/setup. Here you provide the setup with the particualars for your server. Often you are installing MOSS with SQL Server being remote from MOSS, and you will be using a domain-level service account for the installation. The following is an example of the data you might enter during this step: (if the pic does not show - click here) Here you have a named ......
Whether you are working with forms in custom workflows - or simply trying to publish a form to a form library in MOSS so you can collect information from the user, you may encounter this error. Initially if you Google the error - you may find comments that state that you need to uncomment the following line in the web.config for the web application: <!-- <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionSta... --> DO NOT uncomment this field. Many do this and the forms ......
There is a detailed step-by-step path to follow when applying the B2TR to a B2 MOSS installation. This particular error shows itself when you are upgrading a stand-alone beta 2 installation, and you did not delete the registry keys specified for the Search Service. Interestingly, if you follow the steps - and be sure to delete the registry keys outlined in a stand-alone B2 installation - upgrade, the error does not surface. Googling the error does not return any real support - and MSFT has shared ......
Between beta 2 and beta 2 TR/RTM - a number of things changed in the MOSS master pages/CSS - and the odds are that if you have custom master pages in B2, and especially if you customized the TopNavFlyouts or LeftNavFlyouts master pages - after applying TR or RTM - you'll find that your master page is broke - and the site will not come up. Do not despair - help is close at hand!!! A number of things changed in B2TR and followed into RTM. We can make some minor customizations to your current master ......
Just when you think you have seen it all - I must share one you have NOT seen yet. Emphasis on YET??? As we forge ahead and architect these awesome solutions using MOSS - I suspect it is fairly easy to become enamored of some basics - you know, the little details that are the life-blood of your solution. :) Like I said - basics. Basic 1) WSS is a life-blood underpinning of MOSS. Basic 2) Without basic 1, there will be no basic 2 !!! Today I experienced absolute bliss - from a MOSS perspective :) ......
After successfully upgrading MOSS B2TR to RTM (or thinking all was successful) - I started to see this error in the Application Event Log - every 60 seconds. It was preceded by: The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Sea... - threw an exception. More information is included below. The device is not ready. Like many of you before me - and very likely after me, I Googled to my heart's content - and suffice to say my heart was never ......
You may see this error - more than once - when working with your Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 deployment. This animal / error generally shows itself after you have applied an upgrade to an existing deployment. For example, when upgrading from B2 MOSS to B2TR MOSS - or when applying a special service pack from MSFT - you may begin to see a lot of these errors pop up in the SYSTEM event log. The error CLSID is followed by a class ID for the DCOM+ application that the service account ......
Just an FYI... As you forge ahead into the world of MOSS and deploying / configuring MOSS sites with actual service accounts - you may very well run into this error. The PRIMARY cause of this error has to do with the service account. When you created the service account, you set a password for it. Did you document that with your client? If you did not, it is very possible that someone in IT at the client site will change it to something THEY know and want to manage. Alas, all things SharePoint begin ......
The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A). IIS Admin Service goes away after restoring a VHD / VPC Server I recently had the unexpected pleasure of losing my IIS Admin server - altogether!!! Translate - 150% !!! Now, before this - everything was going great - except. During an upgrade of MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) I encounted an issue that forced me to restore a VPC image - essentially bringing over another copy of the VHD and firing ......
As a developer, I have really only 1 requisite - that I have a FAST machine. If I cannot compile 180K lines of code in less than 2 minutes, well, it's time for an upgrade!!! On another note, as a MSFT developer, I have been involved in many beta (often more like alpha) programs. Vista and Office were no exception. Office - very well done. The RTM is proving to be faster than the B2TR bits were - and I have not had a crash yet. But the real cherry on this piece of pie is Vista - Vista Ultimate. I ......
