May 27th, 2009, No Comments
So had an issue a few weeks back getting multiple sharepoint sites on SSL using port 443. Thought host headers would do it but I was wrong. Found out the hard way that you have to use the command line to bind them to the host header/port. So what do you do? See below:

Delete SSP

If you need to delete an SSP there are two ways to do it.
1. Via “Central Administration” but there is no link, you have to type the link manually.

2. From the stsadmin command line…
stsadm -o deletessp -title <sspname>

Went to install both of these and the wss 3.0 install failed on step 8. It basically said that it failed and changes would not be rolled back. In the log it said something about the timer job failure. I realized after a while that my SQL 2005 server was out of space… The reason? [...]
Audiences vs Permissions…
June 25th, 2007, No Comments
The true description for permissions vs audiences is that permissions is to allow or deny and audiences are what is displayed for the user based on the audience they are a part of. Not a very good explanation in my book.
When to use audiences… The only time I have found to use audiences is when [...]
