Sharepoint 2007 and Outlook 2007 video now available
Probably the final video I’ll do before Christmas (I think anyway). This video focuses on the integration between Sharepoint 2007 and Outlook 2007 in three key areas. Firstly, the ability to link document libraries allowing the use of Sharepoint document libraries offline. Secondly, the linking of calendars means that event information between Outlook and Sharepoint can be viewed in a single instance. Finally, most parts of Outlook are RSS enabled, which means you only have to subscribe via RSS to view the information making it easier to see what has changed recently.

As always we welcome any feedback or suggestion you may have on how we can improve our offerings.
Office SharePoint Designer 2007 Service Pack 1 available
Windows Sharepoint V3.0 Service Pack 1 now out
A first look at Sharepoint wikis
Want to know what is a wiki is in Sharepoint V3.0? Well we have released a new YouTube video that will give you an introduction to this new feature of Sharepoint V3.0. To view the video simply click here or go to the Video – Links portion of this Supportweb site.
This presentation will show you how to create and edit documents in a wiki and well as demonstrate the power of wikis to business in things like knowledge bases.
So you want to install Sharepoint V3.0 onto SBS 2003?
Let me show you the ways.
Well more accurately let the article I just created tell you. You can find it here in the Supportweb Document Library as free download. The article takes a brief look at the different options and considerations you need to make before installing Sharepoint V3.0 onto a Small Business Server 2003.
If you don’t already know then you shouldn’t do an in-place upgrade (it breaks things if you do), you also have the option to install the Sharepoint into SQL if you want (although the “official” Microsoft procedure doesn’t mention that).
The articles looks at the installation of Sharepoint V3.0 on SBS from a reseller or systems implementer’s perspective, however hopefully this doesn’t mean that it won’t have value for other attempting this kind of installation. I also mention some of the benefits the Microsoft Search Server 2008 will bring to SMB space given its ability to not only index Sharepoint content but also file shares.
As always I appreciate any feedback on this article or any of the material that I create. Also, if you are interested in something specific them also let me know since I like to create material that is of benefit to “real” people.
Sharepoint Document libraries – Part 3
You’ll find our latest video on Sharepoint Document libraries now here on YouTube. It shows you what is under the covers of the settings menu option in document libraries. This menu allows you to do things like changes the title and description of the library, manage the permission and RSS settings and configuration. The settings menu also allows you to configure columns and views.
For the time being, this will conclude our look at Sharepoint document libraries.

This list will apply not only to the uploading of documents, but also to extensions changes of documents once they are in a document library. So if you have .zip file in a document library and try to unzip that file into a document library and the .zip contains a .exe file then that document won’t extract.
To configure blocked file types:
- Go to Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration.
- Select Operations page.
- Select Blocked File Types under Security Configuration.
- Modify the list to include or exclude the file extensions required.
- Click OK to save and close.
