RE: This is ONLY the STS newsgroup - no replies otherwise !

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Perhaps the group name should be changed - because i.m.h.o. navigating
through "Office Applications" to "Share Point Server" and then one of the
folders underneath ("Design and customisation" "Development and Programming"
"General" and "Setup and Administration" does not make it clear that the
group is only concerned with SharePoint Team Services. Perhaps you can
influence a name change on the group?

All people waiting for replies to questions should note that this newsgroup
is the newsgroup for the 2001 product SharePoint Team Services (STS). If you
aren't posting a question about STS you won't get an answer here. (Even if
you are posting about STS it would be better to post it to the WSS newsgroup
(see below) marked STS in the subject line)

If you have default.aspx as the name of your home page then you are NOT
running SharePoint Team Services but either Windows SharePoint Services or
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (or possibly 2007 Beta 2 products)

If you have a question about web parts you are also not running STS but one
of the above two products.

If you have a question about Form Libraries you are not running STS.

Having your templates under the STS directory also does *not* mean you are
running SharePoint Team Services. (There is a directory STS in Windows
SharePoint Services and in SharePoint Portal Server 2003).

Usually if you don't know which one of the above two products, you will be
running Windows SharePoint Services (WSS).

It's newsgroup is

microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices (admin and end-user)

web access via:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices&lang=en&cr=US

OR

microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices.development (programming)

web access via:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices.development

More people are available there to help you with your WSS problems.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is at

microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver (admin and end-user)

microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver.development (programming)

Web access via similar addresses to the above for WSS.

More people are available there to help you with your SPS 2003 problems.

P.S.Nor, by the way, does it have anything to do with Team Foundation Server
or any of the Beta 2 (2007 SharePoint or Office products)!

If you are using the 2007 Beta of either SPS = MOSS 2007 or WSS = WSS v3
then post to one of the four newsgroups (for both products) depending on
what your problem is *but say in the Subject which product/version you are
using*

The new newsgroups are

microsoft.public.sharepoint.setup_and_administration
microsoft.public.sharepoint.design_and_customization
microsoft.public.sharepoint.development_and_programming
and (for questions that don't fit any of the above)
microsoft.public.sharepoint.general

Thanks.
