FAQs

Q. How do I enable "Send As" functionality for a user in Microsoft Exchange Server?

A. You can grant users a "send on behalf of " ability so that the receiver of a message will see the message is from on behalf of the person who wanted the message sent. Alternatively, you can give users a true "Send As" ability, in which the recipient will think the message came from the mailbox owner rather than the person who actually sent the message. To grant true Send As functionality, perform these steps:

The sender of the message now needs to enable the From option in the sending email (Options, From), as the figureshows. Then enter the person from whom the message should come from. The message will appear to the recipient as if it was sent from that person directly. For the From field, make sure you select the name from the address list rather than typing in the name. I've seen problems occur when I type in the name of the sender. If you're using Microsoft Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode, you might also need to force a download of the Offline Address Book (OAB) to see any changes you've made (Tools, Send/Receive, Download Address Book).

Q. I'm using a Pocket PC 2003 to ActiveSync with Microsoft Exchange Server, but I receive certificate errors. What's the problem and how do I fix it?

A. Some Pocket PC 2003's have synchronization problems when you use certificates with ActiveSync. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a utility at http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/7/2/b72862f9-946e-489b-b8ea-1234a6eb597c/DisableCertChk.EXE that turns off the certificate checking that Pocket PC devices normally perform. The utility allows the ActiveSync to function fully. After you install the program on the PC, open a command prompt in the folder containing the tool and run

  CERTCHK off    
to turn off the certificate checking. You can read more information about the tool at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d88753b8-8b3a-4f1d-8e94-530a67614df1&displaylang=en.  

Q. How do I install Windows SharePoint Services?

A. Windows Server 2003 R2 has a built-in Windows SharePoint Services component that you can install using the Add/Remove Windows Components Control Panel applet. The component simplifies installation by automatically installing the OS components that SharePoint requires (Microsoft ASP.NET, Enabled network COM+ access, and IIS). In this exercise we'll install SharePoint on a pre-R2 system.

  C:stsv2.exe /c /t:c:wsssp2  

SharePoint stores all its content in a Microsoft SQL database, which for Windows SharePoint Services can be Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) or, preferable, a full SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2000 installation (which uses Windows Integrated authentication mode). If you want to have SQL Server reside on a remote box, you need to initiate the installation of Windows SharePoint Services with the "remotesql=yes" switch. If SQL Server is installed locally, then this isn't required. To set up Windows SharePoint Services follow the steps below:

The installation screen will show the components to be installed. Click Install. After the installation finishes, the SharePoint administration Web site (http ://localhost:7048/configadminvs.aspx ) will display to let you select an application pool to use. The best practice is to use a new application pool for each Microsoft IIS virtual server, which ensures that each instance runs in a separate process but it does consume more memory. The Central Administration and regular SharePoint portal sites must run in separate pools. Each separate pool uses about 150MB of memory; additional portal sites in an existing pool use only an additional 15MB to 30MB. The Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/stsf20.mspx?mfr=true has information about account types to use for SharePoint application pool owners. The recommendation is to use a domain account that can access back-end SQL databases to simplify the process. This domain account needs to be a Security Administrator and Database Creator on the SQL Server. To configure those roles, open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) SQL Server Enterprise Management snap-in and select Microsoft SQL Servers, SQL Server Group, (local), Security, Logins, New Login. Select the domain account and click the Server Roles tab, to set the roles, as the figure shows.

You should also select the security (NTLM or Kerberos) authentication type to use. If you select Kerberos, you need to take additional steps, which are described on the configuration Web page, which the figureshows. After you set all the options, click OK. You'll see a confirmation dialog box that tells you to run the iisreset command. Run iisreset, then click OK to the confirmation page.

You can now configure the database server. Enter the details for the SQL server (local or remote name) and a name for the database. Select "Use Windows authentication" and leave the default for Active Directory Account Creation, "Users already have domain accounts," which will stop new accounts from being created automatically, as the figure shows. Click OK.

At this point, the Windows SharePoint Services server will connect to the SQL Server machine and create the database and content per the supplied information. You'll now see the default Central Administration page http ://localhost:7048/default.aspx, which allows the creation of actual SharePoint sites and content for general user use.

Q. How do I upgrade a Microsoft IIS virtual server to run Windows SharePoint Services?

A. After you install Windows SharePoint Services on a server, you can apply the SharePoint extensions via the Central Administration Web site, which you'll find, by default, at http://localhost:7048/default.aspx .
