What is SharePoint Team Services?
SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft offers a new way of working together. SharePoint Team Services provides both Web publishing and collaboration features to make communicating ideas and sharing information easier. SharePoint Team Services is a superset of the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, and includes all of the features available with the FrontPage Server Extensions. In addition, SharePoint Team Services contains new workgroup features that create a rich environment for Web publishing and team communication. By using SharePoint Team Services, administrators can create, author, and administer Web sites that help a team organize and advance on a project.

Known Issues
SQL 2000 must use SQL Authentication
If you install SharePoint Team Services on a Web server that is running SQL 2000, you must configure SQL 2000 to use SQL Authentication. If SQL 2000 is using Windows NT Authentication, you will see the following error message when extending Web sites with SharePoint Team Services: "Login failed for user <username>. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Error code: 18452)"

An error message during setup that you can ignore
If you install SharePoint Team Services on a Web server configured to require strong passwords, you will see the following message: "The password does not meet the policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, complexity, and history." You can ignore this message. Click OK, and setup will continue.

If you are installing on a Web server that does not have Microsoft SQL Server, you may see the following message: "Command line length exceeded - place the files referenced by the -f1 and -f2 command line arguments in a shorter path."
This indicates that the SharePoint Team Services setup program, setupse.exe, is being run from a folder path that is too long, such as \\server\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\folder5\sharept\setupse.exe. To fix the problem, move the \sharept folder up to a higher level in the folder structure.

Do not use named pipes to connect to remote SQL database
If you are using a remote SQL 7.0 or SQL 2000 database, you must configure the Web server to connect to SQL using TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes. In many configurations, if you do not do this, SharePoint Team Services will not be able to connect to the remote SQL server. To configure the Web server to connect to SQL using TCP/IP, make the following change to the registry:
1. On the Web server machine, start regedit.
2. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\ConnectTo
3. Change the value of DSQUERY to DBMSSOCN.
4. Stop and restart the IIS Services.If the registry keys do not exist on the Web server, create them manually:
1. On the Web server machine, start regedit.
2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
3. Click on the Microsoft key, and on the menu bar click Edit, New, Key. Type the new key name MSSQLServer.
4. Click on the MSSQLServer key, and on the menu bar click Edit, New, Key. Type the new key name Client.
5. Click on the Client key, and on the menu bar click Edit, New, Key. Type the new key name ConnectTo.
6. Click on the new key ConnectTo, and on the menu bar click Edit, New, String Value. Type the value name for the string DSQUERY.
7. Double click on the new string value DSQUERY, and type the value data DBMSSOCN.Return to Contents
