I am currently working in a consultant company offers MS solution in my home country. We split in to several groups base on our skills and experience. Each of the group will focus on certain technology such as MS CRM, Axapta, Business Intelligence, SharePoint, .net development and etc. I am in the SharePoint and .net development team.

We are getting error “Value does not fall within the expected range” when try to change the “Page Setting” in MOSS 2007. Yes, again same error message as in here (In fact, this error occurs is various scenarios). This error only happens when you copy an aspx page using SharePoint designer from one server to another severs (development server to production server).

Some sites mention that the page is link to the old Page Layout’s URL and we are not able to change it since we cannot access the page setting. But, there are a workaround where you can solve it!

I am working on a SharePoint dashboard project recently. We have a lot of pie chart and graph integrated using Reporting Services Add-In web part. We have set Target Audience in each web part to offer multiple views to different users. It works fine in the past until this Monday. All the web part with target audience tie to AD group disappear. After spending half day on it, we found that the password for search service and content access crawler account expired. This effect the user profile and cause the target audience failed. Do check out these accounts if you have similar problem.

After googling, apparently SPSearch(or WSS) doesn’t like its server name to be a FQDN, instead, it prefers NetBIOS. To solve this, you have to change the FQDN name to a NetBIOS name in the SharePoint_Config database. IMPORTANT!! Please do a database backup before proceed!!
Here is the solution I found:
We are working on SharePoint Workspace with Business Intelligence solution. There some report build with reporting services show in SharePoint page. Then, we come across a special requirement that the client do not allow user to “Right click” on the entire SharePoint page including the reports. If you are using page viewer or report web part to view the report in native mode, you will never able to include your JavaScript to disable the right click.

2. Set the permissions of the group (role assignment) to contributor
3. Add the author to the group.
4. Associate the group to the site.
