Re: Distribution lists

LOL. Yes, as I slog through the last chapter of edits. Thanks Mike. ; )

I had hoped to get it out sooner but I got pneumonia at one point and lost
more than a month of edit time... November should be a hard date, barring
anything going wrong with the compositors and printers.

and according to today's info on the Amazon US site (linked in the above
page along with other Amazon's), it's due out on November 5th.

Ahh, that Technet article's been around since Dec. 2006, now I see where
you're coming from. It's actually more accurate than most (at least it
suggests trying advanced security...).

I have found nothing online that really, seriously lays out exactly what
to do to get DMS to work with WSS. I wrote about it recently in a book,
but there are things (which I mentioned there as well) that still seem to
be waiting for a service pack. I can get it to work, and work fine, with
permissions for the central admin app pool and the content access
database as a local admin, but request approval still is a problem...

I have had that error before and it drives me nuts.

To start, that white paper, if I am not mistaken, was probably written
by Steve Smith and was about MOSS, right?
Nope; this was WSS oriented:
configuring incoming email settings:

MOSS is different when it does DMS. It's got shared service providers
to help with that sort of thing. WSS doesn't have any of those.

Noqw, when you say you made the app pool owner the owner of the OU,
what exactly did you do?
I delegated ownership; and when that didn't work, I went in advanced
permissions and made sure to give that account full access to that
object & all child objects.


Did you make the account that was the domain user account identity the
owner of the OU? Or did you delegate control?
Both

Also I have found that making that account the local admin does bupkiss
for me.
Definitely didn't help
There are two accounts at work here. If you enable request approval
(which I DO NOT suggest, it's what is causing me intermittent
problems), you'll see that the *content database account* is the one
that creates the request, not the central admin app pool. That is the
account that I give local admin rights on the sharepoint server.
Ah, never thought of that. I will give it a shot.
Thank you so much!

So, what permissions/delgations did you give the central admin app pool
on the OU, and did you make the content database access account for the
web app a local admin? And, someone who posted about this earlier also
had to completely reboot the server to get it to work.

Hello;
I have recently configured mail settings for my WSS 3.0 site.
I followed the white papers, and the incoming mail settings work
perfectly.
The next step was to enable the creation of DLs from within the
Sharepoint site.
I have made the Sharepoint Central admin app pool owner of the OU I
created for Sharepoint; I have added the owner to local admins on the
Sharepoint server.

I still get this error when I attempt to create a new group:
The Directory Management Service reported the following error: Access
denied.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Candee
