Add and hide this web part on the page where the reminders web part is located.

Often folks will want to export the Reminders web part from Project Web Access (PWA) 2007 and have it shown on a related SharePoint (MOSS) page.  You can export the web part, you can add it to a SharePoint page, you can set the PWA URL to your PWA URL and it will work. 

It will throw a javascript error.

The error presents itself as a document.stylesheets[0] etc. etc. javascript error and prevents all javascripts from running (such as menu flyouts).

The attached web part is simply a function redefinition that doesn’t require a feature deployment that fixes the reminders web part on that and only that page.

These are the notes I generated that I used in overlay with the installation instructions. 

1. Make sure Cert Server is installed and available
2. Configure a certificate for ADAM
3. Run ADAM setup from internet
   · Add/Remove only works if you have the OS disk
4. Create DNS entries
   · For example: collab and collab.external
5. Create Collab web app
6. Reset IIS
7. Create email address (e.g. SharePoint@yourdomain.com)
8. Extend to an SSL external (e.g. collab.external)
9. Create a site collection on the web application
10. Run ADAM script that comes with kit
11. Change the ADAM Service account
12. Run database script
13. Run SPScript
    Note: ADAM ports are typically 389, 636 or 50000, 50001
14. Request IIS Cert

For some reason my laptop got really sluggish a while back.  Normally I wouldn’t blog about this type of thing, but it was so impactful I thought I would share.  I’ve already done and always do the typical stuff: defrag, clean registry, uninstall add-ons, maintain free disk space, etc.   This one, however, was the culprit.

Excerpt: “This article also contains information to help you minimize the effect of antivirus software on system and network performance.”

1. Download the firmware: Microsoft® RoundTable™ Firmware
2. Download the manager: Microsoft® RoundTable™ Management Tool
3. run this at the command line:

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft RoundTable\Device Management>rtmanage -m:img -i:nk -f:"C:\RoundTableQfeFirmware\nk.bin" -s:"C:\RoundTableQfeFirmware\nk.cat"

   passcode/password is probably: 78491 (factory default, see RoundTable Deployment Guide)

4. Run This command:

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft RoundTable\Device Management>rtmanage.exe -m:img -i:EBOOT -f:c:\roundtableqfefirmware\cpueboot.bin -s:c:\roundtableqfefirmware\cpueboot.cat

5. Reboot by running this command:
   Rtmanage.exe -m:cfg -r

Andrea takes a stab at stating it.

Excerpt:

• As simple as possible, and complete (Better not bigger, spanning the semantic space)
• Consistent
• Extensible and reusable (Designed to evolve and be used beyond original purposes)
• Design tradeoffs well-understood and documented
• Normalized (To a point)
• Incorporating stable and well-defined concepts and semantics – Usually taken from other standards and models
• Designed and encoded for interoperability and sharing of semantics – But not limited by a specific encoding (such as XML Schema or database limitiations)

If you try to restore a SPD file from SharePoint 2003 to a MOSS instance, you will get this error:

Your backup is from a different version of Windows SharePoint Services and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '6.0.2.8117' or later.
