Share outlook addressbooks via windows sharepoint services

hello,
I'm shopping around for a server that can integrate to active directory (on win2k3), does email, does samba (for user home drives), and has shared contacts, etc for outlook 2003.
There is a server already running on the network with active directory. I came across a possible way to resolve the lack of a shared addressbook in the mac server.
If you have all winxp and officeXP workstations and a win2k3 server, the win2k3 server can run windows sharepoint services at no additional cost. The sharepoint services is basically a portal made to run on modern windows servers.
One of the things sharepoint can do is share contact/address books to outlook 2003. This looks like a very nice feature of the win2k3 servers.
My question is, has anyone done this? Does it really work or is this vaporware from microsoft?
If this works, I think I've got my shared addressbook problem solved.
Thanks,
Oskar

You can create OD entries for conatcts and share those to Mac & PC clients.
Would that help?
Or maybe take a look at AddressOMatic

  • Windows SharePoint Services

    This is my second post to an Adobe user forum, so forgive me if I am posting to the wrong forum, but my question relates to LiveCycle Designer ES forms.
    Is anyone familiar with LiveCycle forms on Windows SharePoint Services? Instead of purchasing LiveCycle Server(?), I hope to use our SharePoint Services and wonder whether anyone here could share their experiences on Windows SharePoint Services - good or bad.
    Thank you.

    Yes please, can anyone share it here for the benefits of the community here.
    I have SharePoint Server and also just downloaded the Suse Linux with Adobe Livecycle ES 2, I wonder if they can be combined together.
    Thanks.

  • Dashboard Reporting through Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2

    Do we need to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on SCCM Server 2007SP2 for dashboard reporting purpose?( We already have a Sharepoint
    server  2010 ), can there be a connection between SCCM and Share Point Server?
    And, Is it safe to install Windows
    SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 on SCCM server 2007 .
    Is there any other better way than this for Dashboard Reporting?

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
    It is unclear to me what you are referring, Are you talking about the old CM07 Dashboard product or creating custom dashboard yourself?

    Hi Iakov
    Kyle is correct.
    Basically, you can host simple PDF forms anywhere - on a web server, portal, document management system, custom web application, etc.
    You only need LiveCycle server if you want to:
    - prepopulate the form with some data before presenting it to the end user
    - extract data out of the form when the end user hits the submit button
    - manipulate the form in other ways, on the server, for example, verifying or applying a digital signature, extracting attachments, etc.
    Kyle, can you contact me at htreisman-at-avoka.com to discuss your sharepoint plans...?
    Thanks,

  • Getting Server Error Code: -2147024891 when using Biztalk Windows SharePoint Services Adapter to upload a document

    We are currently running

    2. SharePoint 2013
    both in a Windows 2012 Server environment, in Azure.   The BizTalk and SharePoint are running on separate machines.
    I am using the Windows SharePoint Adapter to upload a Tif file to a SharePoint document library.  However, when the host instance is running under my team member's userid, I get the following error in the eventlog:

    Do you know what the cause for this error is?   We urgently need a resolution for this?

    If you create an XML document and upload it to the Windows SharePoint Services Web site. The Windows SharePoint Services adapter will take that message, archive it in the Archive document library, and then send it to the Destination document library. This
    procedure demonstrates how a document flows from a Sharepoint web site, through BizTalk Server, and to a Sharepoint Services Web site using the Windows Sharepoint Services adapter.
    This MSDN library article shows the procedure, please check whether it will be helpful to troubleshoot.
    Create a working directory

  • OAM and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

    Hi,
    I have a client that uses OAM/WSSO and wants to use it with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. The OAM integration guide has info on integrating with SharePoint Server 2007, but does not address integration with Windows SharePoint Sevices alone. Is this a supported integration path?

  • Not able to start the service 'Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration' in the server hosting SharePoint 2007 farm

    While upgrading my SharePoint 2007 farm to June 2013 CU , I saw the service ‘Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration’ was not starting. This is throwing error on every attempt of service start.

    While further investigation with Microsoft, the below approach was suggested :
    Back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
     Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    Locate and then select the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    In the New Value box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press Enter.
    Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.  In my case put it as 60000
    (60 secs)
    Exit Registry Editor and then restart the computer.
    The above steps resolved my issue and the service was successfully started.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy data in SharePoint 2007 list to SharePoint 2013 list and the data in SharePoint 2013 list changes with the data in SharePoint 2007 list.
    You could use JavaScript client object model to retrieve SharePoint 2007 list items and copy them to other SharePoint 2013 list.
    An official documentation about how to retrieve list items:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185007(v=office.14).aspx

  • Connecting Via Windows FTP Service

    I recently moved several sites that used Contribute to a new
    webserver (Windows 2003 running IIS 6). The server uses Windows FTP
    Service.
    To create a FTP account I created a Windows Account and then
    a Virtual FTP directory with the same name as the windows user and
    pointed that virtual directory at the root of the site I want to
    update with contribute. I gave the Windows account full control on
    the site root folder. I can FTP connect via Internet Explorer and
    the command line.
    When connecting via contribute I get an error saying
    The directory you specified does not exist. Please make sure you
    entered the directory name correctly. On some servers,
    file/directory names are case sensitive"
    Contribute seems to be trying to change directory to a folder
    with the same name as the FTP virtual directory, rather than to the
    folder that the virtual directory points at.
    here's the error log from contribute

    Hi!
    I think the windows service is using a different systemaccount that your other application, and that account does not have rights to read the sbo-common database.
    You can change the account used by your service on the service definition or in the SERVICES application of Windows.

  • Sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2010 via Windows 7

    Is there a fix for this problem?  I have the current updates of Outlook 2010, Windows 7, and iTunes for my iPhone 4.  I cannot sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook.  When I entered new contacts into Outlook, and sync with iPhone, the contact information does not sync.  When I had an earlier version of Outlook, the contact information was sync with my iPhone.  But now, it does not work.  I made an appointment with the Apple support technician and the technician tried to help but he could not resolve the problem.  As indicated by himself, the tech said he was their best tech, and he had not heard of this problem.  Instead, he recommended placing all my contact onto iCloud.  Again, is there a fix for this problem?

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.

  • Windows SharePoint Services Tracing Hung at stopping.

    Hi everyone. 
    I have searched everywhere and I have run out of options. On my application server in my farm, The Tracing service keep going to stopping and gets hung there. 
    I restarted the server and the service goes back to starting, for a day or two. the the service is forced to restart and it gets hung at stopping. 
    dose any one have an idea on what might be wrong? has anyone heard of this issue before?

    Hi JayShah,
    Do you see any error or warning in the Event viewer?
    I would suggest you to
    Right click on the corresponding service -->click on Properties and then change the 'Startup type' of the Service to Manual (instead of automatic) and then restart the server.
    When you restart the server the service neither go to  start nor  stop. Now using the account which has admin privileges(probably using log on account of the corresponding service) on the server try to start the service. If it is giving
    the same issue then check event viewer for the error/warning information .
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful, if this solves/helps your problem
