Site verschieben mit STSADM.EXE-Backup/Restore

Site verschieben mit STSADM.EXE-Backup/Restore Folgendes Vorgehen hat bei mir funktioniert, um eine Site auf einem Server mit dem stsadm-Tool zu backupen und auf dem Zielserver zu restoren: mit stsadm-Tool auf Server A ein backup machen (stsadm -o backup -url http://whatyouwant/ -filename E:\Transfer\Backup\nameofthefile) backup file auf server B kopieren auf Server A allenfalls eine schon an dieser Stelle existierende Site löschen (v.a. falls ein Zugriff verweigert Error erscheint beim restoren) in der entsprechenden Webanwendung eine Inhaltsdatenbank erstellen mit dem gleichen Namen wie die backupte DB mit stsadm-Tool auf Server B restore durchführen (stsadm -o restore -url http://whatever.whatsoever.ch -filename E:\Transfer\Backup\nameofthefile -overwrite) unter Zentraladministration > Anwendungsverwaltung > Richtlinie für Webanwendung einen Administrator hinzufügen, der Benutzer der Site verwalten kann.

Add a banner to your Sharepoint Site

Image
There are several ways to add a banner to the top of your SharePoint site like below. The banner sits in your global breadcrumb so you need to think about your design of your image I create my images in Adobe Photoshop and this is the only additional tool used in this how to. Open up your image editor (Photoshop) and start with a blank canvas that is width of 2200px and height of 100px. When your SharePoint page loads it will load this image from the left hand side so any images like a logo need to be aligned to the left. If a computer screen is at 1024 x 800 it will only show the first 1000px. So add a logo, a bit of text and anything else you want to add. We need to create our own custom css file, so on your computer create a new text file and rename it to custom.css. Dont forget to change the file extension as well so its not .txt at the end. In the file you want to add the css reference which is below .ms-globalbreadcrumb{ font-size:8pt; text-align:right; background-c...
