Out Of Office

On the 18th July 2009 I set off driving 10,000 miles from Hyde Park, London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. For more information and what happened visit my website www.drivingdotty.com

I will be out of office, travelling until August 2010 so appologies for the lack of new posts but if you are inclined check out my travel blog here: http://outofoffice.bytelab.co.uk

MOSS July Infrastructure Update

http://sharepointnotes.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/updating-from-moss-sp1-to-the-infrastructure-update/

1. Download the infrastructure updates for both WSS and MOSS
   • WSS: x86 – x64
   • MOSS: x86 – x64
2. Install the WSS infrastructure update on all the servers in the farm. Do not run the Wizard at the end
3. Install the MOSS infrastructure update on all servers in the farm. Again, do not run the Wizard at the end
4. Run the Wizard on the server hosting the Central Administration Web Site
5. Run the Wizard on the remaining servers in the farm one at a time
6. Once all the servers are upgraded, verify in Central Administration that the version number is bumbed to 12.0.0.6318

Connecting PPS to MOSS Sub Site Master Pages

When you deploy a dashboard from Performance Point Server you have the option of choosing which master page you want to use. By default you will see all the master pages in the SharePoint master page gallery of the site collection you are publishing too.



If you are in a subsite of your portal unless you have copied your custom master pages to the site collection master page gallery you will only see the default.master in the PPS dropdown since this is the only master page in the subsite master page gallery.

For example:

• http://moss/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx contains all portal master pages
• http://moss/mysubsite/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx contains only default.master

To solve this simply copy your custom master page to the subsite master page gallery.
