Hi Steve, believe the issue could be related to the WebClient service on your machine. Most likely set to Manual. We will mail you through a few things to try on a test machine to see if this works. thanks LP+ Support

Hi Steve Im sorry to hear that you feel we are not concerned about your issues on CC4, but can assure you that is definitely not the case. Im aware you have already spoken to our support desk and we have already asked you to perform some troubleshooting, and hope you appreciate that we do not have access to your school's CC4 network for us to give you any definitive answers. As requested please can you request from RM to check the internal group policy setup for IE and provide LP+ with the results, also please contact the Support Desk again and request to speak to the Support Manager who can assist further. thank you LP+ Support

Hi 194gb for a content database is really large. Large content databases can be cause of performance issues and also cause issues when upgrading to SPS 2010 It would be advisable to split the content database if you have a number of site collections. could you please advise on your hardware setup and specs. Some suggestions to help: - run performance counters that come with Windows Server to ensure its not a hardware issue i.e CPU utilisation / available memory / disk IO / NIC IO- do you use my sites at the moment it would be worth seperating these - seperate my sites web application and content databases. this article should help The SharePoint Bandit: Moving My Sites to a separate content database and web application - if you have a number of site collections move them to another content database. a good reference for this is: Move site collections to a new database (split a content database) (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0) As alex has pointed out for best practices the databases should not be more then 50gb. hope this helps San Mehta LP+ Support

hi shrink the log files for associated with that database make sure you do a backup from SQL server though before you carry out the shrink operation also worth checking the recycle bin settings on sharepoint central admin and ensuring that it is set to periodically clear it Configure Recycle Bin settings (SharePoint Foundation 2010) hope this helps San Mehta LP+ Support

hi i would advise you to try the following: - if you are using internet explorer trying adding the site you are having an issue with to the trusted zone - try using another browser i.e safari or firefox if the site supports it to see if you have the same issue - to eliminate if its a firewall/proxy issue i would recommend you test this from a PC that is not behind a firewall i.e at home using home broaband or on your laptop using a 3g dongle if you have one. hope this helps sandip mehta LP+ Limited

Hi Kim Our response was not meant to imply that any individual or yourself had lied. The intention was to assure our clients that the domain had not expired and allay any fears the information would have cause to our existing clients. The screenshots we have taken are from whois.net directly and at the time of the s/s we had not managed to update/transfer the domain yet. The network solutions site had even more out of dated information and therefore from which you had obtained your information. The infromation that should show after we transfered and repaid for the domainis in the attached screenshots. However I would like to apologise that our repsonse caused offence specailly to someone like you who has previously been a very supportive and fantastic LP+ customer. We also understand that the response you had provided was meant to help the users of this forum and also to support us in resolving the issue. Regards Sandip Mehta LP+ Limited

Dear All All LPPLUS services have now been restored. Thank you for your all patience ands support during this downtime. Apologies inconveniences caused due to this outage Regards Sandip Mehta LP+ Limited

hi On the contrary to what has been stated on this page about the domain name being expired we can assure you that this is not the reason for LPPLUS being down (please see attached screenshot which shows expiry is in Nov 2011 ) We are currently experiencing issues due a dispute with our domain registrars and their contracted online payment authority. We are in the processes of resolving this and hope to have the service back up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Sandip Mehta LP+ Limited

hi i dont know if i have understood your requirement fully but you can use a Content editor web part combined with audience targeting. - create a security group on the AD and add the users for which you dont want to display the launch bar - create the audiences in your SSP and add the security group created above in this audience for whom you dont want the launch bar to be displayed - compile the audience - on the page you want to hide the quick launch bar add the Content Editior Web part - open it in source editor - add the below code .ms-quicklaunch { display:none; } .ms-navframe { display: none; } - once this has been added go to advance settings of the web part and set the audience targetting. Add the group you created and complied above. hope this helps San LP+ Limited

Hi It's the same as 2007, you give the new heading a name and leave the URL blank, this will create a new heading on the quick launch without a link. regards San LP+ Limited

Hi you can setup an internal DNS name point to the ip address of the sharepoint server. You can then use alternate access mappings to configure the new internal name to the sharepoint web application. The following link provides more info on this Configure alternate access mapping this means that the sharepoint site is not dependant on the servername. hope this helps San LP+ Limited

hi we are running the upgrades in our test enviroment as our live enviroment consists of 300,000 active users on MOSS 2007 what you have to consider is your content database size, SQL server version and your hardware type 64bit for the current or 32bit if your have 32 bit then in place upgrade will not be an option until you migrate your farm from 32bit to 64 bit and windows 2008 r2 would also recommed you have your MOSS 2007 on SP2 and run the following first: - preugradecheck STSADM operation - there is also powershell cmdlet Test -SPContentDatabase that will check both MOSS 2007 and Sharepoint 2010 database to see if they can be upgraded and added to Sharepoint 2010 farm the two upgrade routes offered are inplace and database attach. Each of the two options has further choices for the upgrade. regards San Mehta LP+ Limited

Hi MOSS 2007 or Sharepoint 2010 can meet the requirements you have listed. With Sharepoint 2010 you can edit office documents such as word and excel online without having the Office client installed on the local machine. This allows basic editing using office web apps. With both versions you can have document sharing, versioning and collloboration. The document lists supports uploading of all file types and this can be controlled by restricting or allowing certain file types for the central administration application on the server. If licensing, hardware and administration is an issue you can look at a hosting service regards San LP+ Limited

Hi we have used google analytics on both our MOSS 2007 and Sharepoint 2010 site. per site collection you want to monitor you will have to add the code provided by google in the master page and ensure all sub sites in the site collection are using the master page with the code in it regards San LP+ Limited

however if you do find it the above complex you can use the following licensed web part which has a cost implication SharePoint Web Part Calendar - Virto Ajax Calendar for SharePoint 2007 with audience targetting as described in the following faq Audience Targeting in SharePoint Calendar - SharePoint Web Parts and Features for Microsoft SharePoint 2007/2010 they offer a trial demo so you can test it before buying regards san

Hi There are many possible ways however we use the my planner web part. This does not come with Sharepoint my planner web part is part of the MLG components found on codeplex Learning Gateway this allows him to aggregrate mulitple calanders based on roles and also pulls from users sharepoint and on premsis exchange mailbox calanders for the current user. there is a deployment guide which can be found here: LG - Release: Learning Gateway Refresh for SharePoint 2007 regards san

hi no audience targeting in MOSS 2007 doesnt filter in that way as list views dont use audience filtering. They have to be managed at item level which is a shame as it doesnt make use of the audience targeting features. If you want to use audience targeting then first you have to target the content in list in addition to the content query web part. hope this helps regards San LP+ Limited

Hi Have you set the permission at item level for the calendar entry in the list? if the user does not have permission to this item in the list it should not display it. regards San LP+ Limited

Hi you are welcome glad that it fixed your problem What happend was that the web application for the portal and the mysite are seperate. Which should be the case when the user tries to access it from http://yourDomain by clicking the they my site it is going to the other web application and therefore it needs to sign in again by doing the steps above you have created the managed paths mysite and personal in http://yourDomain and referenced it to the other web application you created. Therefore now your internal and external access mapping should work fine Hope that explains it. Regards San LP+ Limited

only if sharepoint was that easy and forgiving. If you carry out the steps listed above it will resolve the port number and hopefully remove the second credentials challenge.
