Recommended books for Sharepoint Server 2007?

I'm looking into Sharepoint for Intranet access and possibly other projects (like Case Management). Can someone recommend some books that cover setup, webparts, interaction with other Applications, etc...?
thanks,
Carlton. 

I'm still getting into this myself ... I started with the Administrator's Companion, and honestly I would not not recommend it for a beginner.  And this coming from a person who actually PREFERS to read big bulky tech manuals over stuff like novels.  But for that particular book, Oh my goodness . . . someone needed to edit it back down just a tad.   Do not need entire chapters on why microsoft designed the product the way they did.  And how can you publish an 1100 page tech-heavy book and NOT included a stinkin' glossary?!? 
OK, rant over.
A few others I'm starting to look at -
Step by Step Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 - mostly for end-users with how-to's once the beast is magically set up and ready for them to start using.  Also missing a glossary. 
Sharepoint 2007 Unleashed (SAMS publishing) - Also missing a glossary.  But it looks to me like it's got a good approach with heavy technical side.  Practical stuff like implementation, design, firewall administration, etc.
Sharepoint 2007 Definitive Guide (O'Reilly) - Also missing a consolidated glossary, but does have some mini-glossaries throughout.  
What I ended up doing was going to Microsoft's site, and doing a search for "Sharepoint Webcast."  There are a lot of on-demand ones out there, some very good, some not so good. But if you download them for playing later, you can run them at about 1.4 speed and zip through a 60 minute presentation in about 40 minutes.  As well as fast-forward when they're talking about stuff you don't want to see.  I would highly recommend this approach if you're just hoping to see some good demos of the product in action with some technical discussion included.

  • What do I need to install Integration Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

    What do I need to install the Integration Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007? It gives me an SP3 needed error but does not tell me what SP3. Has any one sucessfully installed this kit? Please help.

    Hi,
    The sharepoint PIK is available for BO enterprise only. SP3 is refering to BO enterprise XIR2 SP3. This Service Pack is not available for CR 2008. In order to integrate CR 2008 in BO enterprise XIR3 you need to install SP0 on top of CR 2008. But as I said above without BO enterprise you won't be able to use the PIK.
    I copied the following system requirements from our Install Guide for BOE XiR3 PIK:
    System requirements
    For a list of system requirements, consult the Platforms.txt file included
    with your product distribution. For additional important information that may
    pertain to your deployment, it is also strongly recommended that you consult
    the Release Notes included with your product distribution.
    In general, the following components must be installed and configured
    correctly before you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Portal
    Integration Kit:
    u2022 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Office SharePoint Portal
    Server 2003.
    u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI .NET SDK (on your SharePoint machine
    or machines).
    u2022 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition).
    u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise and Crystal Reports (on either the same
    machine and/or on a different machine).
    Kind regards,

  • Enterprise Search using Sharepoint Server 2007 + SAP R/3

    Hi experts,
    I want to achieve an enterprise search using SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS).
    SharePoint includes the BDC (business data catalog) which allows you to communicate with the SAP System.
    I read in the Microsoft whitepapers that thereu2019s a need for a web application server 6.40.
    So here is the problem:
    We have SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with WAS 6.20. We donu2019t want to change or upgrade the SAP system.
    There are ways to connect the WAS to the R/3 system e.g. RFC.
    But does this still work for search in SharePoint?
    Did anybody already deal with this problem?
    Any other ideas connecting SharePoint to SAP in this scenario?
    Best regards
    Philipp Detemple

    > and having requirement to upgrade OS version from B.11 to B.23. Currently server is hosting SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
    So you upgrade HP-UX 11.11 to HP-UX 11.23?
    > I have tried to serach SAP service market place for PAM, but could not find specific information on version upgrade from B.11 to B.23
    Yes - because there is no HP-UX 23.x, only 11.23 and 11.31. For the version overview check
    Note 939891 - HP-UX: End of Support Dates
    Note 1075118 - SAP on HP-UX: FAQ
    > My Questioin is: If we copy system as it is to new host and if we keep the same Kernel Patch 196, will it work fine or give issue?
    It will work.
    > So even if I got for latest patch 304 which is released on 16.11.2009, still the OS version for which it built is B.11, so if we have B.23, will it work? I would not see the possibilities of kernel upgrade at this stage.
    Why no possibility for a kernel upgrade if you install a new server?
    > so with same kernel will it work? What else I need to check for the migration and make sure that everything works fine on new server.
    Check

  • Sync CROD with Sharepoint Server 2007

    Is it possible to somehow sync automatically contacts between CROD and Sharepoint Server 2007? What I would like to do is that contacts are exported and sync auytomatically each time there is a new contact from CROD to SS2007.

    I would recommend posting this question on the CRM On Demand Integration Development forum.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
    Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $IndexLocation = "C:\Search"  #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
    $SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
    $SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
    $SearchServiceName = "SSA"
    $SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
    $DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
    $DatabaseName = "SSA"
    $spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$spAppPool)
     $spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose

    This might be an issue with the gacutil that you are using. I have used the gacutil that comes with Microsoft SDK.

  • What is the best book for Analysis Server 2012??

    What is the best published book for SSAS 2012?

    Thanks for the recommendation, Shankar! I would like to point out that the answer depends on what you mean by "SSAS 2012". Here are a few other recommendations...
    If it's SSAS 2012 Tabular, then yes, "SQL Server Analysis Services 2012: The BISM Tabular Model"
    is an option - but as a co-author I'm obviously biased! Teo Lachev's book, "Applied Microsoft
    SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services: Tabular Modeling" covers some of the same ground and is also very good. If you're just interested in DAX, Rob Collie's book "DAX
    Formulas for PowerPivot" is worth a look - even though it's for PowerPivot, the DAX language is the same as in SSAS Tabular.
    For SSAS 2012 Multidimensional, because not much has changed since SSAS 2008, any book for 2008 or 2008 R2 will still be relevant. I haven't seen the 2012 edition, but editions of "Professional
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services with MDX and DAX" for older versions of SSAS were good general introductions; "Microsoft
    SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 Step-By-Step" is also good. For more experienced developers there's another book I co-wrote, "Expert
    Cube Development with SQL Server 2008" (a refresh for SSAS 2012 is coming later this year); and for the really advanced SSAS developer who wants to understand the internals of the product there's "Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Unleashed", written by Edward Melomed and several other senior members of the SSAS dev team at the time. For MDX beginners I'd recommend "Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 MDX Step--By-Step", and for more advanced MDX there's "MDX with Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook".
    For the whole Microsoft BI stack, Brian Larson's books are always good (eg "Delivering Business
    Intelligence with SQL Server 2012") and cover more than just SSAS, although they go into less detail.
    HTH,
    Chris

  • I want to find any backup and recovery solution for SharePoint server 2013 enterprise

    Dear Expertise,
    Recent set up SharePoint server 2013 Enterprise, and looking for backup and recovery solution, does the built in Windows Backup can handle it, and how?
    KF

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know some backup and restore solution for SharePoint 2013.
    There are two Technet articles about the backup and restore, you can have a look at them.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662536(v=office.15).aspx
    You can also use some third-part software tools to achieve the same scenario.

  • I want to setup a Disaster Recovery Server for Sharepoint Server 2010

    There are four production server running sharepoint server 2010 and one SQL server for
    ContentDB management.

    DR depends upon your backup stratgies, i.e
    1) if you taking full backup of sharepoint using SharePoint tool
    2) If you taking just SQL backup( Content DB and Services DB).
    3) using the 3rd party tool for backup and recovery.
    apart from above, you also have make a decision what point of time you want recovery.
    from your questions, what i think for you.
    Setup new farm with same SharePoint level.same customization, same services configuration, and same number of web apps.
    then backup from Prod server( SQL content DBs) and then restore into new farm and mount them.
    this is one time thing, Now you have to make decision, how data move from Prod to QA( i mean frequency i.e daily, monthly etc).
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

  • Spam Protection for Email showing Critical for Exchange Server 2007 after installing Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange

    Hi there,
    I have SBS 2008, and I have recently installed Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange  version 7.5 but when I take a look on Windows SBS Console under Security, it shows "Spam Protection for Email Critical Exchange Server 2007" However,
    when I open the SMSME it shows running well with no problem..
    Any Suggestions???
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Would you please let me confirm whether all functions (which are related to Exchange Server) run as normal? Just
    a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
    Please run
    SBS BPA and check if find relevant issues. In addition, please refer to GaryD9’s suggestion in following thread and check if can help you.

    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Recommended book for learning Illy?

    I'm going to attempt to impart the joys of Illustrator to someone.
    What would you recommend as the best book for them to purchase?
    Classroom in a book?  Something else?

    I could tell some things about the most famous (or most sold) Illustrator "schoolbooks" on the US American and European market (don't know the Asian or Australian market, or other markets).
    But as the authors might be aggrieved about it, I'd only do one non-committal suggestion: Don't use those schoolbooks. Instead, dive into the programme and play and experiment like a girl with her toy blocks.
    Almost always better than reading the schoolbooks. Some people, however, do need the schoolbooks. I do know and respect it.

    Evaluation version? didn't activate this product? You
    can convert an evaluation license to a subscription license by activating the product. Be sure to have the product key available when activating FPE. After the product is activated, you can also align when the product expires with your license agreement, and
    easily renew your license by entering a new expiration date.

  • Can´t apply December CU 2013 for SharePoint Server 2010

    Hi !
    I am trying to apply december CU 2013 in or SharePoint Server 2010 (SP2) Farm.
    1. I downloaded the december CU 2013 (KB 2849971)
    2. Installed it on every server in the farm. (No Problem)
    After the installation i was trying to run the Configuration Wizard on my first application server, but then it says that i missing the Hotfix 2849971 (Server1) that i newly installed. I tried to reboot the server, but the same
    happens again.
    Tried to install the CU again but then it says that th CU has nothing to apply. (Well i got i already)
    Anyone  who has any advice what i should do, i am stuck on this?
    //Matt 

    Run Get-SPProduct -Local on the problematic server, wait a few minutes, and then attempt to re-run the Config Wizard.
