The machine of my friend’s all of sudden started to hung up before the Windows logon screen. Later it went into a loop of continuously rebooting. I came in with safe mode and disable the auto reboot upon error feature, then I saw the famous death blue screen with the following error message every time:
Stop: c000021a [Fatal System Error]
The Windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xC0000006 (0x77f632fc 0x004ff228) The system has been shut down.
According to Microsoft knowledge base article, "The STOP 0xC000021A error occurs when either Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe fails." But the root cause of that varies, so it is very hard to pin point the problem and fix it easily.
Unsuccessful methods I tried:

These days the MOSS site went down a couple time, every time there was the following error messages:
page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.
At first, we could reboot the database and application servers to let the problem go away. But rebooting is not the good choice. Finally I figured out it was not about the database.
Here is what I did to find the real issue behind the generic error message above.

A user with Full Control permission on the top site could not create an article page. The error message was Access Denied. I tried different ways to resolve this issue, include put her Full Control permission directly on the top site and Page library, but still had the same issue. Then I assign Full Control, Approve and Contribute and all permission levels to her, I got the following error:
List does not exist
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.
It may have been deleted by another user.
But this user can do everything else except the Create Page from the Site Action drop down. From the URL, you can see the Create Page is using /_layouts/CreatePage.aspx file which I believe is using publishing template

![MOSS2007[1]](http://lichao.net/images/blogs/eblog/HowtochangetheDomainnameURLfortheSharePo_FA96/MOSS20071.png)
We just launched a new Intranet web site powered by the SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007). Everything works fine except the URL. By default, the SharePoint services uses the computer name of the server. But we need a nice name like “http://intranet” as the new site name.
We created a new DNS record named “Intranet” and pointed it to the SharePoint server. But it only did the initial re-direction, and it came back to the default http://servername/Pages/default.aspx URL again.

In SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0), you can put any URLs in the Links List. But when you click any of these links, they will be opened in the same browser window instead of in a new window.
I checked the Internet, and found a couple of ways to open the links list in a new window. The first one was the simplest one as I am concerned. I implemented and it worked for me.

Challenge:
We are using a service called Roam Secure Alert Network to notify subscribers about any news needs immediate attentions. These alerts can be posted through Web, Email and SMS. And the subscriber can receive alerts with emails, phone text messages.
Recently we need an internal SharePoint web page to be developed to show all these alert messages. Since the Roam Secure system is not part of our system, and did not provide any RSS feeds due to secure concerns. We could not set up any data connection to retrieve these message from their system.
The simple way is to use the Incoming email feature of SharePoint to post these messages in a new list.

Create a form in InfoPath 2007 and implement a SharePoint Workflow to it for approval processes. In each step, a Status field in the InfoPat form should be updated automatically according to the change of workflow task status. So a different view in the InfoPath can be opened based on the Status field in the form.
But after the InfoPath was published to the SharePoint (MOSS 2007 with InfoPath Form Services turned on) as Document Library and Content type, the Status field could not be displayed when “Set Field value in Current item” action was selected in the workflow design. Even it was promoted to be available in the SharePoint document library.

Today got a call from a friend and was told that her computer might be virus infection since a new anti-virus software always prompted up and warned her everything. And this new anti-virus is named “XP Internet Security 2010″, but she said she never installed it before. Now she was scared since too many viruses found on her computer according to the ‘XP Internet Security 2010″ application warned. Based on what she said, I could tell she got a new malware infected instead of a lot of viruses.

Say you have a few hundreds WORD (*.doc and *.docx) files on your computer, and you need to convert them all into PDF format files. Yes, you can open them and then Save As into PDF in WORD 2007 one by one, or you can highlight all of them (provided they are in the same folder) and print them into PDF format. But you still need to click a few hundreds times mouse to answer Save As… questions within Word. Is there a way to automate it.
Hey, you might say I already mentioned this similar feature in my previous post (http://lichao.net/eblog/how-to-auto-find-and-replace-text-in-bulk-word-files-and-save-convert-to-other-format-with-script-201002475.html). But that script was mainly created for Find and Replace feature and there is a glitch in the PDF convert bonus feature. If you have Word 2007 installed on your machine, and that script will prompt you with READ-ONLY permission warning if your Word files are in 2003 version. But if you use that script on Word 2003 machine, the PDF convert feature will not work. So we need to create separate PDF convert scripts for Word 2003 and Word 2007.
