Hi guys another Sharepoint problem, this one doesnt help me out at all. I get the Sharepoint has encountered an unexpected error. So i went and edited the web.config file and changed custom errors to Off and callstack to true so i could see what the error actually was and i get this: [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeField.GetDateValue(DateTimeField fieldControl) +128 Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeField.Validate(Boolean validateMemberControl) +474 Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeField.Validate() +44 System.Web.UI.Page.Validate() +117 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +105 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +29 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2981 This is comming up when anyone even administrator try to edit a calendar entry in sharepoint or add one. Although the wiered thing is, that this doesnt happen for all calendar entrys just ones on certain dates. Any ideas guys? I've been working on this problem for about 3 days along side my other sharepoint problem which i just sorted about 15 mins ago so im in a better mood Anyway if you could shine any light on this it would be greatly appreciated, obviously you will be thanked for any reply you give even if it didnt work Thanks in advance, Dukey.

Thanks for your help guys the issue actually wasnt the location of the documents. It was to do with SSL, the internal website had to use SSL to view the documents, so all i did was remove the SSL binding for the site in IIS and edited the AAM to use HTTP instead of HTTPS. Jobs a good en'

Hi guys, Just a little help needed here. I have moved data from one server to another, within this data file is documents for all sorts, I've also managed to migrate Sharepoint to the new sever also, but we now have a problem where all the document links don't work as they are looking for the old share on the old server and it doesn't exist no more. There is about 500 document links on this sharepoint site. Do i have to go through each one and update each link or is there an easier way, that doesn't involve me being on auto pilot for the next 5 days to the point where i am doing this in my sleep! Thanks a lot in advance

Ive restarted all the switches i waited about 2 mins not 10 would the time that they were off for make a difference? Cheers

No luck cheers

Just a weired this ive descovered i cant connect to the server share via ip but i can connect to the server using RDP using ip address, the server its self cant even conenct to its own shares it can see them but it cant access them. any ideas?

Good thought but nope still the same ip Good for thinking of it though, he will do well in the world of IT Cheers

Hi guys just thought id update yo all on the situation, ive checked to see if it still has the same ip address and it does, its fixed, the windows firewall is turned off, ive tried restarting the workstation service and still no luck, is there any other ideas that you may have, still scratching my head HARD! not good as its year end and alot of scans need to be done and sims backups e.t.c.. Thanks alot Dukey

Yeah it does

Yeah i have checked if the server still has the same ip and it does, this is what puzzling me everything is as it should be but it just isnt working, my thoughs were something in Services, but nope not that either.

wow thanks for the quick replys i didnt think about firewall ill check that later. @jamesfed sorry i forgot to mention that our server is a member server and doesnt use its self for DNS but another server offsite, im sure DNS is working though because all nslookup queries work. I thought it might have been but its proved not to be. Thanks guys for the quick responses, please do keep them coming if you have any ideas, im totally dried up lol.

Hi guys At our school we are running windows server 2003, and about 3 weeks ago we had a power cut, ever since then connecting to the network shares hasnt been the same. Ill explain... Right when im on the server and go to start then run then type in \\servername\sharename it wont connect it comes up wih an error about not being able to connect.. i will get the exact error later on. Now still on the server i do the same (start,run) then type \\serverip\sharename again it comes up with the error. From the Client end if i go to Start, Run then type \\servername\sharename it connects to it perfectly no problems, but if i type in \\serverip\sharename it say network path not found. Any ideas ive been scratching my head for a week now and its causing a problem with scanning because the scanner we have sends the scanned document to the server using ip as we cant do it by server name and its also stopping a database backup also. Any ideas would be much appreciated Thanks alot in advance! Dukey

would an NT Backup work? Just thought.....

Hi i wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction. I currently have a Dell Optiplex GX520 PC and im wanting to 'clone' that and put it on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop so its a like for like. The reason for this is so my laptop can act as a backup if the PC decides to die one day! Is this possible i used cloning software before but that does all the drivers and everything and i think it would clash with the hardware on the laptop and cause it to blue screen The OS is XP Pro Thanks

BUMP

We have a problem Outlook is asking for the users domain username and password every 2 minutes if i restart the server this sorts the problem out for about 2 days and then it comes back again, what could the problem be ive checked in event viewer for any errors but theres nothing. any ideas? Thanks in advance Dukey

Thanks guys sorry its been a while since i posted this, it was MALWARE! i've thanked all of your posts

hi i have a problem with one of our computers. The computer boots normally and allows log on. The desktop for every user is empty. Double clicking on the C drive opens an empty window - as if the C drive was completely empty, which it can't be as Windows has loaded. Attempting to open the contents of the C drive using a command prompt also suggests that the drive is empty. It allows you to navigate to the drive and even to directories that should exist (such as documents and settings), but the DIR command (which should display all the files within the directory) results in an error message (file not found). At first I thought this might be a drive mounting error, but it apparently isn't. I can't get onto the Administration Tools in the control panel to check out the drive assignments, as Windows can't find the file for opening this. I've tried running a scan disk, which didn't help, and apparently someone else had attempted to defrag the drive, which also hasn't helped. It's one of the most peculiar errors I've ever experienced, and I can't rule out that it's caused by a virus. MEGA thanks will be given for your help. Dukey.

Hi today I've decided to post about Operating systems today as it does kind of follow on from my last post. Once you have your PC built, you will need an operating system the most popular is Microsoft Windows. There are multiple versions listed below, These are the earliest versions of the Operating System. Windows 1.0 - Released 1985. Known as MS-DOS Executive, it also came with Calculator, Calendar, Cardfile, Clipboard viewer, Clock, Control Panel, Notepad, Paint, Reversi, Terminal and Write. In this version windows were tiled and couldn't over lap. Only dialog boxes could appear on top of other windows. Windows 2.0 - Released in 1987. It had several improvements to the User Interface and Memory Management. This version allowed windows to overlap each other, also more complex keyboard shortcuts were introduced, it could also make use of Extended Memory. Windows 2.1x - Two different versions were released. Windows/386 and Windows/286. Early 90's Windows 3.0 - Released in 1990. Improved the design, this was because of the virtual memory and loadable virtual device drivers that allowed them to share arbitrary devices between multi-tasked DOS windows. Windows 3.1 - Released in 1992. Improvements were the same as the one released in 1990. Mid - Late 90's Windows 95 - Released in 1995. It had a whole new Interface, it also supported long file names (up to 255 characters). It also automatically detected and configured installed hardware (known as plug and play) Windows 98 - Released in 1998. Microsoft released another version in 1999 called Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows 98 SE Read more @ http://wtcitblog.blogspot.com/

Hi thanks for the reply i didn't delete the profile in the end, i found that outlook was prompting for the password of the user even though the option wasn't ticked for prompt allays for user name and password, so what i did was change the password for his account and A PRESTO seems to have fixed the problem, Very strange. Thanks Again

Hi Im a little puzzled as to why this is happening what it is when a certain user tries to logon it says that he is unable to logon and that the account is locked out, i checked event viewer on the server and found a Failure Audit which applied to that certain user here are the details, Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: [userName] Domain: [Domain] Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: [Workstation Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID: - Caller Process ID: - Transited Services: - Source Network Address: [iP Address] Source Port: 0 How do i fix this as its getting to the point where the user cant do any work it just locks him out while he is in the middle of something?? I will be greatful for any solution ideas. thanks in advance
