Access denied while joining an existing MOSS 2007 farm

if you get an “access denied” error message while joining an existing SharePoint farm with another server (i.e. adding another web front end) it is likely that your server runs a different SharePoint Version that the existing config database.

Check your patchlevel and service packs

SQL-Server Logfiles kürzen / Shrink SQL-Server DB Logfiles

USE DatabaseName
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<TransactionLogName>, 1)
BACKUP LOG <DatabaseName> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<TransactionLogName>, 1)
GO

should work everytime :)

Timerjobs für Policies laufen nicht

Sollte man feststellen, dass die eingestellten Policies (z.B. Löschen von Dokumenten, die älter als Zeitraum x sind) nicht abgearbeitet werden und man in der Zentraladministration unter Timer job definitions feststellt, dass diese Jobs noch nie gelaufen sind, dann hilft folgendes Vorgehen:

Record Center / Information Management Policy Jobs Not Running

Interesting enough, we noticed after installing “something” (it could have been Project Server, Service Pack 1 or even the Infrastructure Update) that none of the time jobs managed by the PolicyConfig service were running.   If fact, they were all list as have never run, which I knew is a lie since they used to work at some point in time.  These jobs include:

Expiration Policy
Hold Processing and Reporting
Information Management Policy
Records Center Processing

In trying to troubleshoot this issue, I was messing around with one of the stsadm commands that can be used to set the when these four polices run.  However, when I tried to run the following command:

Stsadm -o setpolicyschedule -schedule “daily at 23:50:00″

 I would get an error saying “The Information Management Policy feature is not active.”  After a little bit more research, I found out that the “feature” that it is complaining about is the RecordsManagment feature.  Granted, this feature is scope at the Farm level and thereby is automatically activate, I took the liberty and ran

 stsadm -o activatefeature -name RecordsManagement -force. 

After running the re-activate command, I was then able to run the setpolicyschedule command (which I didn’t need to do to resolve the issue) and volia my Information Management Policy’s timer jobs are running again!
