What happens when manually adding a user to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Site Collection, who previously did not have a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 profile? Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 userinfo and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 profile are not hard-linked; what this means is when a new user is created in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 it does not get created in the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 profile store; the opposite of this is true as well - Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 -> Windows SharePoint Services 3.

Release versions of the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SharePoint Software Development Kits are available from the Microsoft Download Center! Download the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and ECM Starter Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Enterprise Content Management development; this download is intended for MOSS developers, if you are interested in developing on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, keep reading… Contents: SharePoint Server 2007 SDK Documentation

I just learned I’ll be co-presenting with Joel Oleson at TechReady4 in the IW306 SharePoint Products and Technologies 2007: Administrative Architecture and Planning for Deployment - Part 1 (breakout session), scheduled for February 7, 2007 13:30 - 14:45. If your planning on being in the Seattle area attending this years’ TechReady - this will be an invaluable architecture and planning session! Session Abstract: This session describes the new Deployment and Administration Architecture for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) version 3 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

After having spent the last two weeks in the Colorado Rockies, I’ve unfortunately have had very little time to blog; albeit, most of the time was spent digging out from the numerous blizzards which seem determined to keep me indoors during my vacation :-) I’ll be spending the next few days organizing and consolidating posts and cleaning up some older posts, but have some great upcoming material beneficial to those both deploying and developing on Windows SharePoint Services 3.

I’ve made several updates and revisions to my previous post “Understanding PRESCAN.EXE Errors”, I hope this information will be useful in diagnosing and remediating errors generated by PRESCAN.EXE.

*UPDATED 5/22/2007 I put together this post as a follow-up to my initial PRESCAN topic “Understanding PRESCAN.EXE in MOSS 2007”; hopefully, this will provide insight into the most common PRESCAN errors administrators may encounter and remediation steps where available. These solutions may not fit every environment due to the natural differences in topologies, hosting models, versioning, and infrastructure. Error: There is no Web named “//”. The Content Database contains one or more orphaned Webs.

The first available Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 application templates has been released. the Microsoft GroupBoard Workspace 2007. This is the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 implementation of the most widely used Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 template in the Asia Pacific region with a host of improvements supporting the technologies and features available in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Overview The Microsoft GroupBoard Workspace template creates a space for a group or team to connect and share information in a collaborative environment, improving team efficiency and productivity.

The Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 RTM Software Development Kit have been released to MSDN; for those looking for the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Software Development Kit click here, each includes documentation, as well as code examples within the topics and contains the highest-priority documentation for developing on each platform. I’d be interested to hear what others are developing and how the information contained in the SDK’s contributed to that project.
