Setup stopped working

My first attempt to install MOSS 2007 on a WIN 2008 VM (Hyper V) stalled because WIN 2008 requires a service pack (MOSS 2007 SP1). But I could not install the service pack until I had installed MOSS 2007, or so I thought until I read the following blog: http://edge.technet.com/Media/Installing-MOSS-2007-on-Windows-Server-2008/ I followed the instructions here - essentially, extract the MOSS 2007 SP1 and WSS 3.0 SP1 fies to C:\...\X86\Updates folder of the installation media and then run setup. This allowed the install to continue past the point where it had stalled previously

SharePoint Slow To Delete List Items

I've got a feeling the answer to this question isn't a simple one. I'm using a delete query within an Access 2007 database to delete SharePoint list items. The delete query uses a sub query to determine the IDs of the list items to delete. This delete query runs very slow. For example, it took 53 minutes to delete 34 rows today. What can I do to speed this up? Here's a brief overview of our process - 1 - Records in SP list older than 14 days are added to a SQL archive table (via Access append query). These archived records include the ID. 2 - All SP list records tha

SharePoint/Business Portal, Office Web Component

Help. I have an intranet site using Sharepoint and Business Portal functions. The users are all off-site using their home computers to access.

.doc stored in Sharepoint attaches in an e-mail as .tmp - why?

I have customer that creates a document in word, then saves the file to sharepoint services. The file remains open in word. From outlook, he then points to the sharepoint file location for this document (.doc) and attaches it to an e-mail. But instead of the .doc file being attached, a .tmp file ends up in the e-mail.

If i access the server from external, i always have to enter a user/password to access the SP at all. When i click to open a document, it asks me again for the user/password before the document will open. I do not want to choose the option of checking the box

And each web application also uses its own Application Pool.

Raw HTML appearing in items e-mailed to a discussion list

Over the last week or so, all of the helpdesk issues that are e-mailed to our discussion list are showing the raw HTML in the body section of the list item. I'm struggling to get my head around this one. Has anyone had a similar experience? I can't guarantee that it's not linked to a change made by us but I can't recall anything specific other than a restart of IIS to add a new entry to the DOCICON.XML file. The restart failed and I had to manually start the IIS, W3 and SMTP services. The server hasn't been rebooted either. Any help will be very gratefully recieved. N03L. ex

How to use intranet instead of companyweb as address?

Is there a "best practice" for establishing isolated development, quality assurance, and production SharePoint instances?

I'm attempting to understand how a successful site handles development versus qa versus production environments for SharePoint. What I mean is this - one could have one sharepoint instance, and use sharepoint permissions to limit the number of people who see work on a site before it is ready for "production". The problem with this approach is that if the site being developed happens to have need of lists, workflows, etc. that are in use in production, then there is the potential for test data to show up in production. And of course, there is also the hassles that arise if you have to

Web SSO with ADFS, using LDAP member & role providers in Sharepoin

Just read article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262069.aspx Section on "Web SSO and ADFS" describes how to register an <httpModule> for ADFS, along with ADFS Membership and Role Providers.
