stsadm -o createsiteinnewdb

Ever used the createsiteinnewdb and passed in a database name only for MOSS to use one of it's PIA Guid ones? Well check that if the command had failed before that the MDF and LDF files had not been created. Have a look in Data and delete if it exists.

Drop into GAC on Windows Server 2008

If you are getting the message that access is denied when trying to drop a dll into the GAC on a Windows Server 2008 and you have administrator priviledges

1. 1. From the Administrative Tools select ‘Local Security Policy’
2. 2. From ‘Local Policies’ select ‘Security Options’
3. 3. Scroll down to ‘User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode’ and disabled it
4. 4. Reboot for the policy to be applied.

“User Account Control: Run all users, including administrators, as standard users.

This security setting determines the behavior of all UAC policies for the entire system.

The options are:

• Enabled: Admin Approval Mode and all other UAC policies are dependent on this option being enabled.  Changing this setting requires a system reboot.

• Disabled: Admin Approval Mode user type and all related UAC policies will be disabled.  Note: the Security Center will notify that the overall security of the operating system has been reduced.

Default: Enabled”

Upgrade error installing SharePoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 (x64)

I came across this installing SharePoint 2007 onto a Windows Server 2008 (x64).

The server was a fresh install and had Office 2010 installed before the SharePoint installation was started.

The error is caused by InfoPath 2010 – uninstall InfoPath/Office 2010 and then run the SharePoint install again.
