You don't need to (and I'm pretty sure can't) import AD security groups into the profile database - these are basically two separate issues. As long as your SharePoint environment is in the domain, you can use AD security groups (not distribution groups) in that domain to assign permissions in SharePoint - either directly or within SharePoint security groups. As long as SharePoint can recognize the AD group, it should work. You don't have to import anything for the AD group to be recognized. One thing to check is whether or not the AD group you're using is a security group and not just a distribution group. Distribution groups cannot be used to assign permissions. What is confusing is that some group entities in AD are both distribution groups AND security groups. :P The import filter you’re talking about is to import users into the Profile Database.

]]> Comment on Office 2010: What you need to know about 64-bit vs. 32-bit versions by will http://idubbs.com/blog/?p=234&cpage=1#comment-22470 will Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:05:15 +0000 http://idubbs.com/blog/?p=234#comment-22470 I am following the recommendations of the ms-office developers installing the 64bit version only if you have work with very large excel spreadsheet, word documents, etc that need the extra memory. I have never seen a file that big so no big worry, but with alot of the column/row and other limitations going away that may change.

I do not 'own' the AD in my environment and the profile import was set up to import users. The filter reads, '(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User))'. What would I change or add to have groups added? How does one get AD groups into SP? I do not ‘own’ the AD in my environment and the profile import was set up to import users.

Unfortunately, that's the only real option you/I have. They sure are making it easy on developers… It’s a nice feature to run apps under XP Mode, but they are slow at best.

]]> Comment on PSConfig and Stand-alone mode by Rishit http://idubbs.com/blog/?p=50&cpage=1#comment-12098 Rishit Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:28:21 +0000 http://idubbs.com/blog/?p=50#comment-12098 In standalone mode, since psconfig does not allow user to provide username/pwd, what account does it use internally? Is it the Network Service account or the account of the user who setup MOSS 2007 on the m/c. This is troublesome since I removed configdb from the farm (-disconnect option) and then tried to join to existing farm(-connect option) and it would not connect to the database now. Any ideas??
