Existing site associations will change
The Web application you have selected to host the SSP administration site and/or My Sites already hosts other content sites. These content site will automaticcly be associated with the new SSP.
I received this error when trying to replace my intranet site with my new SSP site.
if the CPU is maxed out on your SharePoint 2007 server check the Indexer Performance setting in Central Administration. My setting was set to causing my CPU’s to run at 100% and nine instances of mssdmn.exe to run. Updating the setting to Reduced brought the CPU’s back to a normal level.
Central Administration > Operations > Services on Server > Office SharePoint Server Search Service Settings
I was doing a fresh install of MOSS and didn’t see the Business Data Catalog section listed in the SSP. The Business Data Catalog wasn’t there because I hadn’t enabled Enterprise Features in the Operations page.
Simple fix, in the Operations page look at the bottom of the page for the Upgrade and Migration section. In there you will find Enable Enterprise Feature. Click Enterprise and input your key.
Follow the directions on the screen and you should be ready to go.
To install SharePoint on a Windows Server 2008 machine you will need the SharePoint install that includes SP1.

The Idea Database Accelerator tool appears to be real handy at analyzing, reorganizing, and rebuilding indexes.
Keep in mind i’m still playing with this.
Today I sort of figured out how to backup and restore a site using Idera Site Backup. Site Backup creates a .cmp file for the site you are backing up. Using SharePoint Designer I was able to restore my deleted site from the .cmp file.
Here are the steps I followed:
Step 1: Create a new empty Web site as a destination
Tip You can also create an empty Web site through the browser by using the Site Settings or Create pages. For example, when viewing the site in the browser, click Site Actions, and then click Create. On the Create page, under Web Pages, click Sites and Workspaces. Complete the first four sections, but when you get to the Template Selection section, close the browser without making a selection. Do not apply any template — including the Blank Site template — or the restore operation will fail.

If you are in Austin, TX and looking for some good cajun food make it a point to try Sambets Cajun Deli. This is the real deal cajun food.
I was seeing duplicate people returned when searching for someone. Here are a few things I did to locate and fix the problem.
First, check the People scope in the SSP.
Shared Services Administration: SharedServices1 > Search Administration > Scopes
http://moss1:8888/ssp/admin/_layouts/viewscopesssp.aspx?mode=ssp
This scope should have a rule of:
contentclass = urn:content-class:SPSPeople
Behavior: Require
Take not of the Item Count.
Now take a look at the User Profiles and Properties page.
Shared Services Administration: SharedServices1 > User Profile and Properties
http://moss1:8888/ssp/admin/_layouts/ProfMain.aspx
In the Profile and Import Settings section look at the first item Number of user profiles:. If this number doesn’t match the Item Count from the Scope you are pulling too many items into your Local Office SharePoint Server sites Content Sources.
To check Local Office SharePoint Server sites
Shared Services Administration: SharedServices1 > Search Administration > Content sources
http://moss1:8888/ssp/admin/_layouts/listcontentsources.aspx
Edit the Local Office SharePoint Server sites content source
In the Start Addresses section should be the following items
http://(server): (port)/ (SSP)
http://(portalsite)/ (URL of main portal site)
sps3://(server): (port)/ (My Site Host) Crawl Settings:
Crawl Schedules: At 12:00 AM every day
: Every 2 hour(s) from 7:00 AM for 14 hour(s) every day
Updating the Local Office SharePoint Server sites fixed my problem.
if you are running VMware and need to expand the virtual disk size, here is the simply way to do it.
in windows Start – – > Run – -> CMD
cd C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 30Gb “C:\path where your virtual disk is stored\name of your virtual disk.vmdk”
lets break this down.
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x (how large you want the disk to be)Gb “where the virtual disk is located, dont point this to the -flat file”
example (this is exactly what i put in the DOS prompt, including the quotation marks ” ” )
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 99Gb “C:\VMstuff\myDisk.vmdk”
I recently spent a stupid amount of time looking for a list of users that have enabled their My Site.
Log into Central Administration, navigate to Application Management, under the SharePoint Site Management section click on Site collection list.
Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection List
On the right side of the screen you will see dropdown box for Web Application, select your My Site host. Now a list of My Sites users will be displayed.
after messing with this for way too long I found a REAL easy answer to the question.
downloaded and installed this tool http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
Download the ISO CD image to a folder on your computer.
Insert a blank CD in your CD-RW drive
Locate the ISO file, right-click the file name, and then click Copy image to CD to open the ISO Recorder Wizard.
That is it… too easy!
