You were absolutely right Domino - I've extended the site and now it works. Thank you very much indeed! Ant

SharePoint really makes my head hurt...

Hmm... perhaps you're right. I have setup AAM for the external URL though... I assumed that this would be enough.

I've followed both of those guides - but haven't carried out the "Extending an existing web application" part as I thought this was unnecessary as users access the site internally using the machine name rather than a DNS alias - is that correct or am I getting the wrong end of the stick? Yep - using forms based authentication with ISA 2006. Ant

Calling all SP gurus! I've got an internal Sims Learning Gateway 2 site which I've recently made available externally by setting up AAM and using ISA 2006 as a reverse proxy. So - https://gateway.domain.com forwards requests to http://server:8080/SLG This has been working fine and AAM has been working perfectly so far... until (!) one of our IT Teachers started to create folders within a document library. So - document library is at "https://gateway.domain.com/SLG/Teachers/ict/Staff%20Resources/Forms/AllItems.aspx" When you hover over the folders within the document library the URL appears to be "AAM'd" correctly - e.g. "https://gateway.domain.cm/SLG/Teachers/ict/Staff%20Resources/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fSLG%2fTeachers%2fict%2fStaff%20Resources%2fYear%2010&FolderCTID=&View=%7bBC87E501%2dC934%2d44A1%2dB907%2dA0B1D1A74E8B%7d" BUT... when you click the link it reverts to the internal URL, and thus externally you get a 404. I'm confused... I don't get it. If you right-click the folder and choose copy-shortcut and paste it into the address bar the link will work. Help! Cheers, Ant

Aha! Fan-bloomin-tastic! It was the rule order (and as an aside the host-header forwarding) that was causing problems... Thank you Mr Pearce... you're a gent. Ant

Hi all, In all my 9 or so years involvement with IT I've only dabbled with ISA very briefly... so I turn to your collective genius for help! I've got two servers - Server1 which hosts ISA and Exchange, and Server2 which hosts Sharepoint (on port 28827 strangely enough). I want to make Sharepoint and OWA available externally through the same public web address - let's call it external.mydomain.com. I've got an ISA publishing rule that allows access to OWA so that "https://external.mydomain.com/exchange" will access OWA on Server1. I can't figure out how to get requests for "https://external.mydomain.com/SP" to forward to Server2 which hosts my SharePoint instance. Is it possible to do this? Can anyone give me a few pointers? Ta, Ant

Thanks for the replies so far! Seems that I'm not doing too terribly here budget wise - it just seems that where some of the money is going is a little bit concerning and needs some trimming (1/3 of the budget is going on software licences and service renewals!). Cheers, Ant

Hi All, I've recently jumped back into the chaos of being a school ICT Manager after a break for 18 months or so doing something slightly different. One of my first tasks here is to try and convince management that we need to adopt a proper lifecycle approach to all hardware and thus need to put forward a new budget proposal (present forecasted spending for this year puts us overbudget by £20k or so and still leaves a lot of old machines around). Something I've picked up is that (as an independant school) management don't like to hear that other schools are spending more money on things than them (especially state schools) - so my question is this: Q: How much money per pupil does your school spend on ICT? Also - what does it cover? My budget has to cover all hardware and software, consumables, paper, cabling infrastructure and odd things like plasma screens for display boards around the school. I think my best tactic is to go for a multi-version budget approach - standing still, doing a little bit more and doing a lot! Thanks, Ant

Thanks Daveyboy! I can see that this forum is going to come in very handy!

Hi! Been a while since I posted on here but will soon be returning to a school-based role and the main network O/S is Netware 6.5. I'm a wintel man through-and-through but understand that NDS is similar in many respects to active-directory (seems that MS liked the idea...). Does anyone know of a web site or some good books that would get a newbie up to speed on Netware 6.5 in a quick fashion? Cheers, Ant

Hello, We have a Kyocera FS-C5016N which is pretty darn good... very cheap consumables too comparitively.

Thanks for all the replies chaps! Very helpful. @Roberto - This sounds exactly the sort of thing I'd like to play around with. Also - does anyone know if MACs support roaming profiles? I have a Windows 2003 network with XP clients and I'd like to dabble with adding some MACs to our music department... but unfortunately I don't really have the time for the R&D (or money!)... I suppose I could always get a mini-mac just to play around with... hmm...

Hello! I've just discovered this wonderful forum and it's been very entertaining and useful for me to lurk in... but I thought it was about time I unlurked and asked something that you chaps might have some info about: Does anyone know of a website or a book that gives a pretty easy to understand explanation for setting up a network with Mac workstations and a Windows 2003 server? Also - on another note - am I right in thinking that MacServer (what is it called?) is based on a linux platform? Cheers, Ant
