profile information no longer syncs to contens database

Recently faced the issue of the user profile picture not showed at the MOSS sites, after 2 day investigation just found out the root cause.

Root cause : content database set to "offline"

*the reasons set the content database to offline is prevent user to add more sites to this contents database

Solution : change the status back to "started" and set the max number of sites to the existing number of size. that all :P

SiteManager web UI : Easy for MOSS SCA to manage the sites

SiteManager web UI

First you will need to bring up the UI. The URL to the Site Manager is only available in MOSS and you can find it at http://server/_layouts/SiteManager.aspx. Now you can change that to any site url and add the _layouts/SiteManager.aspx, but keep in mind that if you are moving things around you probably want to hit the top-level of the site collection to do this.

Once you have the Site Manager page up it is pretty simple to use.

1. Expand the tree on the right hand side to find the site you want to move
2. Click on the parent of that site in the right hand tree to load the left hand panel
3. Check the checkbox next to the site you want to move
4. Click on the Actions -> Move menu option
5. Expand the tree in the popup Move dialog to find the new parent site
6. Click on the parent site in the tree and click the Ok button

This method has the benefit of being more visual, however it does lack so of the power of STSADM since you can't rename the URL with it. You have to go in to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Title, description, and icon to change the URL name. This mean a two step process to reparent and rename a web through the Web UI as opposed to the one step with STSADM.

this is cool feature for admin to manage the sites, you can check all your entire moss sites. edit , delete create new sites and see have what list, add item..is cool!!

i will try to promote this to user as much as i can!!! :)

My First step on Sharepoint developer area!!!

Not sure how do i start learning about Sharepoint developer..... Ok, then i just want to try hello world...ha ha.. i still remenber this is the very basic step....

i use around 5 hours for my first step , emm... maybe is good...maybe is bad.

after searching around the internet, firstly i follow some article from some expert blog...but i cannot catch up the step because normally the blogger is expected the reader have the basic developer skill on it. (hi hi..so i am the beginner here, so unable to follow the step )

after few hour try...failed...then i try to search have any more detail step i can get...at last i get it from MSDN. here you go Creating a Basic Web Part

Just 45 minute i have done the step...ha ha ha...cool !!! so excited about it!!

Actually we have few way to deploy the web part to sharepoint, this is one of the way. That is copy the DLL file to sharepoint server folder, then add the webpart detail to the webconfig file then add the webpart to sharepoint webpart list. :) please refer the deatil at the MSDN link :)

are you faced the issues get AD locked your account?

last few month my domain account intermittent get locked by the domain, after check just get to know because my account is running at server services and after change the password is not synchronize between the service with domain, so keep on get locked.

so the step i have taken is go to change all the windows service and computer management to local service but after that still not working!!! @#$!$%

so i just leave it there, with this reasons cause me always get locked for few minute after then only can log in back to my server.

at last i unable to continue this kind of environment , i go to check on by one at the server. lastly i have found is because i have key in my account at the IIS application pool identity ...ha ha ha..finally issues is resolved.

!@#$ Cannot uninstall the WSS V2 before Portal

Recently try to build some SPS2003 server, after build i have face some problem with the Front end server setting so i think is something wrong with the setting. Decide to uninstall the SPS2003.

click on add remove program then will see wss and sps there, so i think wss is small one then should remove first....#$@#$ after remove the wss then cause the sps unable to uninstall.

now i have 2 solution:

1. follow the complecated change to make it can uninstall and install again..(not sure how is the process from Microsoft)
2. Rebuild server OS . (ha ha, this is my option)

so anyone thinking to reinstall share point 2003, please take note. uninstall SPS, WSS then only ISS. :)
