http://serverfault.com – I'm new to SharePoint and am building a collaborative internal website for issue tracking (one of the many SharePoint sites on this SBS machine). The site is already accessible from the outside of our network. We have a few customers who want to be able to login to our issue tracking system, post bug or change reports, and track the progress of their specific reports, as well as browse internal collaboration related to them. I'm sure SharePoint/SBS can do this, but I'm not sure how to set up the security. I tried creating a new user in SBS for a customer, added a new role "Customer" with a de (HowTos)

A new domain user cannot access a Sharepoint intranet site - they keep getting prompted with a login box.

Their AD group memberships appear identical to other domain users so I figure this user must need setting up within Sharepoint itself. I added them under Site Settings -> People and Groups -> Team Site Members, however they still cannot login.

Can a Sharepoint guru please help me?

I have SharePoint 2007. When the database backups run using SQLCMD SharePoint sites go into read-only. Users can't add anything to the sites the buttons are grayed out. On the backend the databases do not get set to read-only. My question is this, is this normal with SharePoint? I have read some forums that say SharePoint does this by default but the information is a little murky.

Thanks

Sharepoint Reports on Mac 1 year 15 weeks ago

When trying to view Sharepoint Reports, Mac users get the error "An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode."

We tried both Safari and Firefox, and get the same error. On the Firefox end, I tried enabling NTLM Authentication, but that did not work. Can Sharepoint reports work on Mac?

Not totally sure this should be here or in Stackoverflow, but I look at it not from a developers point of view but from an admins.

In the past we had a pretty anemic intranet - now with SharePoint 2013 this will get a lot more use.

I have an SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Cluster and need to setup SharePoint reporting services.

Within SharePoint farm configuration it reports that the SQL server agent is not running.

Since I have multiple SQL nodes to which the connection can fail over to any, how do I handle the SQL server agent or is this clustered also?

Does the downloadable SharePoint reporting SQL script need to be ran on each nod

I am accessing the built in SharePoint 2010 on SBS2011 via Microsoft Office Excel and Word.

When saving a file, I get prompted from within Microsoft Office 2010 Word/Excel for credentials - entering the correct credentials just prompts the window again.

With internally hosted Sharepoint, one has a few options for improving content availability to geographically distant branch offices:

Georeplication between Sharepoint farms Content caching via a proxy or Branch Cache WAN acceleration

What strategies are people using for Sharepoint hosted on Office 365?

We run SharePoint 2007 in our environment and currently have a non-transitive, external trust setup between the two domains because we're planning on migrating to SharePoint 2010. Our SQL Server is in the domain 2, while domain 1 has the front end web servers.
