Restoration of WSS 2.0

Hi
I am a System Administrator. My boss gavi me a difficult job to me. He was using Sharepoint Site which was hosted on one of the service provider. Now My boss wants this sharepoint site to be in our network setup. for that he requested the data back from
the service provider and they only gave him SQL content database backup. Now I am confise that how can I restore this conent database to my environment.
Details: WSS 2.0 is the version and SQL 2008 R2 is the database

Hello,
You need to create a new web application and attach your web application to existing content DB. You first restore the DB to SQL server then go to central admina nd create new web application. Later use stsadm command to attach this DB.
Follow this MSDN:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff700200%28v=office.14%29.aspx
Make sure that you have admin right to SQL server, SharePoint server and local admin right in sharepoint server.
Hope it could help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get an error when you restore a site collection from a different server in SharePoint 2010.
I recommend that you can try to click the “KB2536599” for SharePoint 2010 version 14.0.0.6106 to download the patch from the following links and install the patch in your environment.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2536599
After the installation, you need to run the Configuration Wizard. Later you should be able to restore this site collection successfully.

"NTLDR is compressed" error after system restoring to earlier time point

After performing a system restore via ThinkVantage Restore/Recovery, I now cannot reboot my T61 - error message is "NTLDR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt Del to restart " ... Suggestions I found online require the recovery CD to allow usuage of the recovery console, but I am having a difficult time locating this disk (and am not sure the T61 even came with it).
If anyone has recommendations, I would be very, very grateful !!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear this, but RnR gives you an opportunity to create recovery discs, this is first and foremost thing to do after getting your system:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70804
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68317.html
Most importantly, it also avoids the pain of purchasing them from lenovo, if you're under warranty then try calling them with your problem, they'll most probably send them to you for free, otherwise you'll need to buy 'em from them.
Hope it helps.

3 server farm, had the WFE go down, restored with old snapshot, use APP server settings to restore IIS?

All right.
So I have a 3 server DEV farm: WFE, APP, SQL
The WFE went down, and had to restore with a month-old snapshot after numerous configuration changes.
Files: Can I copy the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories to my WFE and get it running?
IIS: recreate sites based on APP server, pointing to copied over VirtualDirectories locations?
What else?
Thanks,
Scott

SharePoint does not support VM snapshots. It is a really, really bad idea and usually easier to just build a new farm member.
You can use PowerShell to restore IIS, e.g.:
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://webAppUrl
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()
But to be honest, it depends on what exactly you've lost, etc. Also like a really good idea to flush the Config Cache on the restored farm member.
Again, not supported!

RESTORE THE IBM_SERVICE PLACE AND FUNCTION

Hello,
I have a THinkpad T42
Configuration:
XP Pro
Two space in Hard Drive
C: SYSTEM
E: USER DATA
As you know the recory part IBM_SERVICE should be hidden and protected and it should be access through the start Menu.
My problem is that during my last restoration, a year ag, My USER DATA space (Disk E was "lost" in the Hard drive. I had to use TESTDISK to find the Space and give it back its name and place. In the process The IBM_SERVICE partition appeared on My Computer list so I have now
C: SYSTEM
E: USER DATA
W: IBM_SERVICE
From now, i am not able to access the recovery application I had and I would like to restore Factory configuration but it is not possible.
Is there a solution to put back the Restore factory option on my computer or is there a solution to boot the computer directly on IBM_SERVICE to restore it?
I know that I used it once and it restore my C: SYSTEM drive to factory configuration but i has kept all my data. Does this will happen again or am I gonna loose the data?
Thank you in advance for your help and your answers

DB2 restore very slow

Dear Experts,
We are setting up a DR server for the existing production server. The OS is Windows 2003 R2 SP 2. Database is "DB2 v8.1.12.99"
We have bought new HP hardware to setup the DR server. While restoring the database backup of Production server from filesystem (local) on the DR server the restore is extremely slow. Its about 1 GB per hour. I have checked whether the restore is running using the "db2 list utilities show detail" command and it shows the restore progress in bytes and it is definitely running. I have tried to restore on an IBM server with same configuration and the restore is complete in 4 hrs.
I cannot figure out what the problem is.. There are no errors in db2diag. I have the feeling if it is a hardware issue and the RAID 5 read / write cache has to be set??
Please advise if any DB2 parameters are to be changed and how to change those so that the restore is done normally.
Thank you

Restore the deleted extended IIS web site into Virtual directories

Hi,
i deleted the IIS site from virtual directories and as well from IIS. But still i can see the extended web site zone in the Central administration, General Settings from the remove SharePoint from IIS web site. now question is there any way i can restore
the deleted iis site zone any how?
Thanks

Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your answer. i need some suggestion regarding on going issue. First i have created a web application at port 80 when it was in singer server and then i extended to 443 and 80 in multi-tier farm as you can see in the below image
And then i deleted IIS site from IIS itself and from Virtual directories as you can see in the below picture. Then i blinded the "SharePointDemo-80" site with host header at port 443 With default zone AAM. now i can access the site well but problem
is if i want to deploy any custom solution, getting error "The web.config is invalid on this IIS web site: "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\demoportal.bbcat.local80\web.config. " and also crawler is not crawling any items. my
understanding is, as there is no IIS site into virtual directories obviously will throwing error. Usually first i create web application at different port (example 8080) and then extend the application to 80 or 443. As i have already place this web application
and did customization, what will be the best way to handle this situation?
Thanks in advanced!!

T43 - Lost USB and wireless after full system restore

Hi,
I've been struggling to get my work system back online for two days now. It's a T43 which had become unbearably slow so after 3 years I decided to blow it away and use the system restore to set it back to factory. However as seems to be the case all around, factory in this case means...nothing works and you have to manually install all of the drivers.
I upgraded my bios to 1.29 and embedded controller to 1.06
I installed drivers for every device and after a full day of futzing finally rid my device manager of unknown devices (mostly) Here is a shot of it...
Device Manager
However the most troublesome things have been wireless and USB. Given that I had no idea which wireless device was in my system I tried updating the driver through device manager and pointed it at each of the three available wireless adapters on the Lenovo T43 drivers page. The first two I tried were rejected, but the third one took and the device finally started. However, when I point it at my wireless network it just keeps switching back and forth between "Not Connected" state and "Aquiring address state". I finally disabled it. This device worked fine as did my wireless hub prior to the system restore.
Worst of all however is my USB. After first doing the restore, all of the USB host controllers were unknown. I could find no specific driver for them on the Lenovo site so I just right clicked on each of them and selected "update driver" and let it find whatever it could for them. Low and behold they all popped right up one at a time and were identified along with the root hub. At that point two new unidentified "other devices" were enumerated, one being my printer and the other my USB Western Dig backup drive. The hard drive's power turned on indicating a signal from USB, however it never popped into the list of available drives in My Computer. I was able to install the Samsung printer drivers from CD which took the printer out of the list of "other devices", installed USB printing support, and set up the printer in the "my printers" directory. However I can't print to it. Print jobs just sit in the queue and the printer acts like nothing is happening.
It's terribly frustrating because all of my backed up work and environment settings is stored on my USB drive. If I can't get USB working again, I'm in serious trouble. Thus far, I've tried disconnecting the devices and reconnecting (it makes a system ding but nothing else happens). I've tried uninstalling all USB devices from the manager and then doing a scan to reinstall them again. Both times I've tried this, the devices once again come up as "other devices" and I have to repeat the earlier steps to get them property identified.
I can't find any excuse at this point these devices not to be working. Can anyone please offer any further suggestions? If I was unclear about anything I'll be happy to clarify the problem. I'm despertate to get this thing working again fast.
Thank You !!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK, let's try the older one:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62875
You may want to delete the entire Win subfolder before installing it, though.
Now, honestly, I don't quite understand why recovery disks would skip this driver. I've restored hundreds of T43/p machines and have never encountered such an issue.
Good luck.

T42 - Problem in Restoring Factory Settings

When I pressed the F11 or Access IBM button to interrupt menu during startup to restore factory settings for T42, it always turn to
Press one of the following keys to continue :
ESC to resume normal startup
F1 to enter the IBM BIOS setup utility
F12 to choose a temporary startup device
I don't have the recovery CD with me. I tried to go to "Access IBM" to create recovery IBM, I can't find this in "Access IBM".
Could you advise how I can restore to factory settings?
Thanks!

You probably have your recovery service partition removed, or someone removed it for you. I presume that your normal OS is not booting up correctly anymore???
There is two ways you can go about it if you don't have your normal OS running anymore, you can use a normal XP OS you got from somewhere, and then proceed to install your OS and then download all your relevant drivers from Lenovo site here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?doctypeind=9&template=/productselection/landin...
make sure you fill the requiste detail regarding model type
or call Lenovo/IBM service at your location and see whether they can send you the CD for a service charge, this will depend on whether you still got warranty, and whether your warranty is valid in Hong Kong for your machine, the Lenovo/IBM service may send you the cd if you don't meet either one of those conditions, but it is not a given.
I will suggest you just get your own XP os, you can still use the serial key on the bottom of the machine, but you may need to call Microsoft regarding issue of specific activation code.

WSS Search database

I am using Sharepoint WSS. I was testing a restore on the same server and for some
reason it has changed the search database to the test restore search database(WSS_Search_Tester). But it needs to be WSS_Search_Production, I have gone to the 'Services on Search Service setting' configure page, but the database name is grey.

Please stop the Windows SharePoint Services Search
- Open the SharePoint Central Administration
- Select the Operations tab and then select Services on Server from under the Topology and Services
- select Windows SharePoint Services Search and click on 'Stop'
- You will then receive a message that the index files will be deleted. Press OK to continue
Search service will stop, now you can reconfigure search service to update with new DB name
- Click on hyperlink 'Windows SharePoint Services Search'
- fill all the required details and Press the OK button to create the Search database and start the SharePoint Search Service
- Start Full Crawl ro reindex the content

Restore a web app

I make a horrible mistake with a slider, and i am new in this, so, there is a way to restore to the ORIGINAL template, i use restore to default and all crash, all the web app crash completely
PLEASE@

The first thing I would recommend checking is to make sure that the SharePoint environment you are restoring the backup into is patched to the same version as the environment that the backup was created in. If those versions do not match, you will not be able to restore that backup into your new environment.
You may also want to try stopping or restarting the SharePoint Timer Service on your target farm before running the restore operation, it sounds like it might be locked by another operation.

System Image Restore in Window 8.1

I have not been able to find a data migration application that works at cloning a Windows 8.1 hard drive to a new SSD. With that in mind I want to go about moving the contents, data and operating system from my working C: to a new SSD. I want
to go about it as if I have backed up my system, my C: drive has failed so I need to install a new drive and restore my data and operating system to the new drive. I can't seem to find any simple (this should be simple) straight forward way to do this
nor can I find any form of written instruction on how to go about this.
I would love to have someone articulate this. As it stands I have a fully operational intact C drive. I have completed a disk image to a second separate hard drive. I now want to restore that content to a third (SSD ) drive.
Where do I begin?

There is a system backup tool called System Image Backup, follow these steps to conduct this:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
Enter File History in the search box, tap or click File History, and then click System Image Backup at the left part.
See the screenshot as below, you can backup it on local machine or a DVD or a network share folder:
Besides, I need to point out that this backup method will generate a vhd file, if you want to restore the system you need an DVD installation midia.
You cannot just restore a vhd file directly to the hard drive.

How to restore playlists and ratings after hard drive format

Several people have reported problems restoring paylists and ratings after reformating a hard drive. Here is what worked for me and what did not.
I had to reformat my hard drive. Before doing that I exported my playlists from itunes to another hard drive as an xml file. I also copied the folder with all my songs to another drive. (Also of course had it backed up on DVDs.)Then I copied the itunes library files (see url http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732) to anoher drive.
After reformating my hard drive and installing the lastest verion of ITunes, I copied the actual songs back into a subfolder in my music folder. I then told iTunes to import the subfolder with the actual music. That resulted in a restored library that lacked playlists and ratings.
Don't do this
I purchased Anapod ($30.00) because its web page said (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/):
"Anapod CopyGear is an easy-to-use, compact utility for copying music tracks, playlists, podcasts, photos, and videos from your iPod back to your PC."
Well, I did transfer 104 playlists back to my iTunes library through the Anapod backup function. However, the transfer also put more than 20 gigs of duplicate songs into the library. All of the songs listed in the playlists were duplicated in iTunes. I could find no way in Anapod to simply copy the ratings and the playlists. Anapod documentation was outdated. For example the online help pages said that playlists could not be backed up. This was confusing because I had just done that.
"In a future release we will be adding the ability to backup your iPod playlists. This will allow you to generate backup files of your iPod playlists on the computer. These files will not be usable on your computer though. They can only be used to restore playlists at a later time on your iPod (assuming it still carries all the audio files referred to in that playlist)." This text is from url http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/support/tome/tx2pc.php#5.1.2
I sent requests to Anapod for help today, but they have not been answered yet. Docs truly did not seem to help. Would have been good if there was a pdf file rather than just an online help html file that seemed outdated.
This worked for me:
I ended up having iTunes wipe out the entire library because of all the dups Anapod made. (Made sure that iTunes only wiped out library and did not delete actual songs from hard drive. Then I had iTunes import my subfolder with songs again. That brought me back to where I was before wasting money and much time on Anapod.
After I had my iTunes library up (without ratings and playlists and after finding Anapod did not meet my needs.
1. I imported the xml file to which I had exported playlists before reformating hard drive. That gave me the playlists back although an error message said some items not copied because the music tracks listed in playlists were not in my iTunes library. --Possibly I deleted songs after playlists were downloaded some time ago to iPod. Importing the xml file is probably not necessary because of what I did below.
2. Quit iTunes
3. Because my song ratings were still missing, I then moved the iTunes library files made by the new version of iTunes into a different folder.
4. Then I put my old version 4 library files into the place where the library files should be.
5. Then I crossed my fingers and restarted iTunes. It took awhile to start and said it was updating my library files. Now I have back most or all of my playlists and ratings.
If problems develop, I will probably wipe out iTunes library and use Anapod to move everything from my iPod into a folder and tell iTunes to import that folder. That approach might avoid the dups that Anapod makes when restoring playlists to iTunes.
So my message is keep your actual songs backed up somewhere (such as DVD's and anotehr hard drive) and keep a duplicate copy of your library files somewhere not on your hard drive. With these items you should be able to restore iTunes library to its former status.
Sorry for the length of this message. Hope it helps someone.

The simple version of above:
iTunes Files to Backup (anytime you make additions or changes to the Music or Library that you want to retain)
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”

Trouble backing up and restoring voice memos

I tried to save my voice memos from my iphone 5s to my (pc) computer. I successfully did this one month ago, I created a backup of my iphone and then synced the iphone with the computer. Now a month later I am trying to do this again with the new voice memos. I plugged my iphone in and made a backup and then tried to sync the phone. When I tried to sync, itunes told me that my iphone is synced to another itunes library. (not true, I last synced it to this same library on this same computer!) Since I had just made a backup, I figured it should be safe to sync (which means erasing the phone, because itunes claims that my phone is synced to another computer), and then restore from the backup I just made. I did this, and everything was restored except the voice memos. There are only voice memos from the last month, and nothing previous to that. (also strange, there are two of each voice memo!) When I use 3rd party software to see what is contained in the backup, it says there are 300 voice memos. However, when I restore from this same backup, there is only a small portion of that. Why is this happening? How do I get my voice memos back? I could buy the third party software to extract all the voice memos, but these files don't contain the names I gave them, only a numeric code containing the date and time they were made. This isn't very useful. I want the voice memos back on my phone, with their names intact.
Also, for whatever reason, when I last tried to sync my phone a month ago, apparently it didn't actually put the voice memos into my itunes folder on my computer, so even though I thought that voice memos from before a month ago should be safely saved on my computer in itunes, they actually aren't. This means I have lost ALL my voice memos except for the last month. please help!!! I am just trying to make a second copy of my voice memos on my computer to keep them safely backed up, but every time I do this it ends up deleting the original copy! There must be some way to do this, and to retrieve the voice memos I know are contained in the backup.

anyone? help please?
