Cannot complete this action...http://support.microsoft.com/?id=909455I ran into this problem when trying to provision a new Site Collection from a workflow. This worked fine in my prototype WPF app, but failed everytime when the WF ran.I threw in the suggestions from the article,WindowsImpersonationContext wic = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Impersonate();and in my finally block,wic.Undo();and it seems to be a work-around, but really...

I decided to go ahead and update my dev VM, since the next client will have everything updated, I thought it would be important to also have things up to date. WSS SP 2 installed without a problem, but of course Office Servers Service Pack 2 had issues. The base install just said, Installation Failed. Looking at the logs, "The extraction of the files failed" - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943589 Still not very helpful.  MSDN/Technet and MS Support sites mentioned that this is due to hard drive space.  In my case I have 16GB free still on my VM...

We are populating reporting tables from the InfoPath form library fields using SharePoint web services and accessing them from within SSIS.In business development studio, just add a script activity, modify the script (I chose c#) then add a reference to the web service, generate the proxy class, and make the call to get your list items.I did not use the view fields xml, just left it blank to return all the...

One thing I run into all the time, after a clean OS install is finished, what are the next steps. Install .Net 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. Turn on IIS. Allow .Net 2.0 in IIS, but this requires you have run c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Runtime\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe –i Then you can continue with the install. This is nothing new, this problem has been around since SPS2003, but in case it helps someone.

Today, I spent some time trying to fix an error with a Standard OOB workflow for content approval. Root-Cause: Someone removed the Approvers group from the site collection SP Groups. Thankfully, SharePoint told me that "An error has occured in Parallel Approval." - Thanks. When looking over the settings for the workflow in the document library, I saw that Approvers was the group selected, and didn't think much of it, as the role "Approve" was assigned to another group "Site Approvers". The thing I did not notice, was that the name was not...

I am working on a major version release for the end of this year, some of our webparts are being moved from one namespace to another, and from one WSP into another, new feature id's etc. So I created a simple windows application, added a couple controls to it, it does the following: Goes through all our web applications Looks for sites with the old feature In those sites, looks for out specific "old" webparts on pages ...
