Sharepoint Services 3.0 help!

Hi!

Im running a SBS 2008 server with Sharepoint Services 3.0 installed.

Im in the process of creating an intranet, and to my big disappointment, the enterprise templates are not included here.

Anway, I wanted to install the 40 templates that can be downloaded from MS, but when I try to install them, I get the message "Access denied". I run the following command:

"stsadm –o addsolution –filename
ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp"

I am logged via remote desktop as local administrator.

I ahve tried the following:

1) Turned off UAC on the server
2)Started the cmd prompt as "run as administrator".

Why can't I run this coommand? What other groups does the administrator have to be member in?

Kind regards
Henrik

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the 40 extra templates are only usable when placing MOSS server over your WSS installation. I will try to find some documentation on it.

*Edit* Seems that isn't the case. Let me play around and see if I can install them on my sharepoint server.

Hmm. Mine added fine. What happens when you run stsadm just by itself? I also checked somewhere and it says to disable user accounts on the server as well.

Hi!

I ahve another small issue (I will get back to you on the first question, but this is more urgent)

I have made a simple test installation with a single sharepoint web application,
that has three websites


Home Page - Developers corner - Demo

The first two should be accessible by every authenticated user in our AD, but the Demo page should be accessible only by users that we show off some new webparts and stuff.

So, if I create a testuser, how can I configure security so that the testuser cant browse or show

http://myserver/default.aspx or http://myserver/DevCorner but ONLY

http://myserver/Demo

Should this be done in Sharepoint, or in the IIS? I am very familiar with IIS but what is the best way?


kind regards

If you've set it up so anyone authenticated through the AD has access to everything, and the testuser is in the AD, then he will have access to everything.

Access permission on sharepoint stacks; the user will always have the highest permission a group he is in has been given. Meaning, you could not add them individually to revoke their access.

What I would suggest doing is mapping individual groups to your site as opposed to the entire AD. That way you can specify which sites a group has access to as opposed to the entire AD.

Thanks for the reply. So I should create an AD group called "Sharepoint_demousers", add my single user to that group, and then what do I do in sharepoint admin? Please hint me on where I set these permissions. It is most critical that external demo users can't access our home page just by tampering by the URL in Internet Explorer. Anything but

http://myserver/Demo must result in "access denied"
