Sharepoint site with FQDN host header login prompt in IE7
Body:

I found myself with login prompt on SharePoint website with Fully Qualified Host Name (FQDN) host header, even though workstation and user is member of Active Directory domain. FQDN host header is for example portal.mysite.com instead of single-name host header portal.

In my case problem was that IE misinterpret zone for portal.mysite.com as Internet, and Interent zone is configured that it prompts user with login dialog. To resolve this I simply added site to local Intranet:

  • Open IE and go to Tools -> Internet Options

  • Select Security tab and click Local Intranet zone

  • Click on Sites button and Click Advanced

  • Add your site to local Intranet zone

How to prevent disable action on LAN connection?
Body:
Yes of course I have accidentally disabled LAN conncetion while being conected to remote server.
An I decided to prevent any further stupid move like this. How? Easy, just change two settings in GPO for AD or Local Policy for Workgroup:
  • In GPEDIT, go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Connections.
  • Change "Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection" to Disabled
  • Change "Enable Windows 2000 Network Connections settings for Administrators" to enabled. Enabling this policy enforces the restrictions, even for Administrators, in Windows XP

Of course in AD environment you can do this with GPO, and deploy it to your Server environment. But if you realy need option to disable network connection, from local logon, you can disable and enable network adapter from Device Manager.

Be smart, not dumb like me.

Once again: Moss vs Wss
Body:
More and more people are asking about the differences between WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007. They are both powerful collaboration tools made built on .NET platform. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) ships bundled with the purchase of Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Small Business Server 2003. Office SharePoint Server 2007 relies on the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 technology to provide a consistent, familiar framework for lists and libraries, site administration, and site customization. Any features that are available in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 are also available in Office SharePoint Server 2007. However, Office SharePoint Server 2007 offers enhanced and additional features that are unavailable on a Windows SharePoint Services site. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) takes the collaborative foundation of WSS to another level. From developers point of view, we’ve looked at \12\ISAPI folder and noticed some basic differences between WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007.
