This pertains to Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.  If you are running Windows XP then stop reading. If you are running Vista or Windows 7 and you are attempting use the “Upload Multiple Documents” feature of MOSS 2007 or WSS 3.0 to upload zip files you have probably noticed that zip files do not show in the upload explorer window.  The “Upload Multiple Documents” feature is an ActiveX control that installs with Office 2003/2007 so if you aren’t running either Office versions then the option won’t show up in SharePoint.  The problem with zip files and the ActiveX control...

I ran into this issue several times in the past in setting up SharePoint environments (for both internal development use and customers) so I figured it was time to write a blog post about it.  If you are running SharePoint Server 2007 or WSS 3.0 on  Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later you will run into authentication issues if you are trying to access a SharePoint site using host headers from the server itself (i.e. host file has portal.mydomain.com pointed to 127.0.0.1).  This issue manifests itself as the result of a loop back security check that Microsoft built in to Windows...

It is generally accepted that searching for content in MOSS or WSS 3.0 requires the content to first be crawled by the SharePoint Search Service.  However in traditional Enterprise Content Management (ECM) scenarios this typically doesn't make a lot of sense.  If evaluate how most organizations manage content for the purposes of managing that content, you will quickly see why crawling content doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  A typical ECM related business process involves the capture (data stream or scanning of content), categorization, processing, and archival of content.  In many cases significant time, money, and effort is expended in these...
