We are running MOSS 2007 with profiles coming from our active directory. One feature we use is "Audiences" which get compiled based on specific AD groups. We have problems with very few of the accounts where they do not get included in the audience. We have for example AD group of "Procurement" where 15 out of 16 users get included in th...
I have something funky going on with MOSS & was wondering if anyone out there has seen anything like it: I have a document library in MOSS that has several custom columns added to it. I have a column of type choice. For one document in the library (a word document), the selected value does not get displayed for the one column - all of...
So basically we have lots of SharePoint usage log files generated by our SharePoint 2007 site and we would like to make sense of them. For that we're thinking of reading the log files and dumping into a database with the appropriate columns and all. Now I was going to make an SSIS package to read all the text files and extract the data w...
There's Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and then there is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). MOSS considerably more expensive than WSS (which ships as part of Microsoft Server licensing). My question is: what does MOSS do that makes it worth the extra cost? ..and does Microsoft Search Server not compete with the Business D...
I am developing a WebPart (it will be used in a SharePoint environment, although it does not use the Object Model) that I want to expose AJAX functionality in. Because of the nature of the environment, Adding the Script Manager directly to the page is not an option, and so must be added programmatically. I have attempted to add the Scr...
Our organization started on the SharePoint path about two years ago. Before that, we (the developers) wrote mostly asp.net front ends for SQL back ends. Now it seems like every time a new project comes up, we are asked to “make” it fit in SharePoint; and we have stuffed some things into SharePoint that probably should have been stand a...
This may seem a bit trivial, but I have not been able to figure it out. I am opening up a SPSite and then trying to open up a SPWeb under that SPSite. This is working fine on the VPC, which has the same Site Collection/Site hierarchy, but on production, I get an exception telling me that the URL is invalid when I try the SPSite.OpenWeb...
I've written an event receiver that programmatically kicks off a workflow, but it needs the id (guid) of the workflow to start. How do I go about obtaining the id of the workflow(s) I just created in Sharepoint Designer? ...

I am currently working on a project which requires migration of content from different content management Systems to SharePoint. Are there any good, preferably open source, tools that would help me do this? Also, what are the best practices that I would have to keep in mind when it comes to such projects.

I'm looking for a SharePoint (MOSS) shared hosting provider that supports deployment of custom solutions (.WSPs) - it'd be okay if it was medium trust. I'm building a public Internet site on SP and the client doesn't want to host it or pay for the license all up front. Any suggestions? ...
How does sharepoint identify a file type? For example, SharePoint will not allow you to upload executable files. Suppose if i rename a file extension from .exe to say, .doc, will the sharepoint allow the upload of this file? ...
Let's have a list of some good interview questions for SharePoint developers. Please provide one question per entry, and if possible, the answers.

I have a simple event handler with a ItemAdding event that changes a column value that I need in the ItemUpdated method. After uploading a word 2007 document (*.docx, *.pptx or xlsx) the value of the column is changed, but when I protect the document the value of the column disappears in the ItemUpdated method. This only happens for off...

Then I deployed the web part, no problems so far. The problem is when I go to add it to the webpart gallery (Web Part Gallery: New Web Parts) usually the web part is in the list, I ch...

I think most of the SharePoint developers and administrators know that with the change form Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 some functionality of SharePoint have became unavailable. Especially adding Webparts to a site and using the PeoplePicker don't work anymore with Firefox 3. So I want to know how you deal with this problem when some of you...
EDIT: Modified title and added update. UPDATE: We no longer believe this is a 64bit vs 32bit problem. We have found that the only people that were seeing this, were people that were set in the farm policy as "full control." (Not acting as System Account) Once we tested regular users, we found none had the problem. Removing the "probl...
