To deploy and activate SharePoint Administration Toolkit features using the correct paths

The instructions listed below will help you to properly install, activate and deploy features from the latest version of the SharePoint Admin toolkit. Current v4.0

First you must download the proper toolkit:

SharePoint Administration Toolkit x86 page (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=141504) or the SharePoint Administration Toolkit x64

Open Command Prompt

Cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

To deploy and activate the Batch Site Manager feature

At the command prompt, run stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\SPAdministrationToolkit\BatchSiteManagerSolution\BatchSiteManager.wsp"

To deploy and activate the Permission Reporting Tool feature

At the command prompt, run stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\SPAdministrationToolkit\PermissionReportingSolution\PermissionReporting.wsp"

Now for the final process:

Be sure to deploy both of the solutions via Central Administration: Central Administration > Operations > Solution Management

Make sure that you have all of the correct Cumulative Updates. The following Cumulative Updates were effective in my environment:

WSS (KB 970946)

MOSS (KB 971537)

NOTE: These KBs require a reboot.

Obviously your results will vary depending on your current configuration and updates. *Do not install these updates if you are not sure about your current configuration.

Run the Config Wiz.

IE7 Crashes when Editing or Opening a document within a SharePoint Document Library

Many people out there seem to be having the same IE7 problems when trying to edit a document within a document library via SharePoint. When you try to edit or open that document in that particular document library IE7 just simply freezes and then crashes.

The following instructions should resolve the existing problem that you have been having with Internet Explorer 7 and SharePoint.

1.  Perform a search for “owssupp.dll”. You will find that there will be more than one instance of it on your C: Drive.

2.  Make sure that you delete all instances of this file (owssupp.dll), from your hard drive (You will need Administrator Rights)

3.  Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced (Tab) > Reset Internet Explorer settings (Click Reset)

4.   Run the Office Diagnostics Tool

Start > Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Diagnostic

Run the tool

When the tool is finished running, you should be able to open Microsoft Office Documents in SharePoint.

There is another way that this problem can be resolved as well.

***Note: Perform the following if the instructions above fail***

Reinstall Office 2003 or fix existing install of Office 2003. Chances are you are running Office 2007 on top of an old install of Office 2003.

Radar Sync Driver Software that works!

Kyle Bateman here with BinaryWave.com

I was having quite a bit of trouble locating drivers after some Microsoft Updates managed to crash my P.C. I’m completely baffled as to how this managed to happen and generally does happen just about every time new Microsoft Updates come through. What amazes me is how my preexisting drivers just vanish into thin air as if they were never installed. With that being said I stumbled upon this software titled ‘RadarSync’ Free Edition. As one would expect it has a few advertisements and several installment options but once you get past that, Bingo! The drivers that I was manually trying to find earlier for hours were there thanks to Radar Sync. Radar Sync has a very clean (GUI) Graphical User Interface thats just plain self explanatory. It’s about time.

Really the only Con that I see would be the advertising right before the install, a bit much but that’s to be expected when you are dealing with ‘Free’ software nowadays. If you can get through that then you are still saving yourself a huge portion of time because you aren’t manually seeking out the drivers yourself all day long and as some of you have found I’m not exaggerating the time factor thingy.

‘Radar Sync‘ Free Edition can be found here: Radar Sync Free Edition Download

People and Groups Settings Refined

Kyle Bateman here with BinaryWave.

When creating new groups from within [People and Groups].

User should always make sure that you select the proper Group settings when creating a new group.

(This should always be a Best Practice.) Only the [Group Owner] can add or remove (edit) members.

Note: Even if you are a Site Owner you will not be able to add or remove (edit) members unless the [Group Members] setting has been selected or the [Group Owner] is an actual group such as ‘[SharePoint Site Owners]’.

When creating a new Group, you may also designate the [Group Members] to be a Group itself.

Example: If you created a Group titled ‘[SharePoint Site Owners]’, then you would be able to add that group as Group owner.
