Access denied when crawling MOSS Content in crawl Log

Hi All,

When you try to crawl the site content from central admin in MOSS and look into crawl log the site is not crawled properly and showing you following error.

"Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)"

Follow steps below to solve the issue:

1.	Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2.	In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3.	Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4.	Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
5.	Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
6.	In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7.	Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

How can Changing Order / Hiding Columns in New / Edit Forms in SharePoint 2010

The default order of columns in New/Edit forms for lists and document libraries is typically the order they are added. In many cases you may want to change this order, or to remove columns from these forms.

Changing the column order is easy but the method depends on whether you have selected “Allow management of content types” for the list. See below if you have this option selected, otherwise you can:

1. Open the list and select Settings + List Settings
2. Select the “Column ordering” link under “Columns”.
3. Use the “Change Field Order” form to change the order of columns.

You can only hide columns if “Allow management of content types” is selected! So, to hide, for example, the “Title” column you can:

1. Open the list and select Settings + List Settings
2. Select Advanced settings
3. Click Yes for “Allow management of content types” and then click OK.
4. From the list of content types, select the content type the column appears in, e.g. “Item”.
5. From the list of columns for the selected content type, select the column (e.g. Title).
6. Select Hidden and click OK.

Even if you have a single content type, selecting the “Allow management of content types” option does no harm, so this should work in all cases.

Note that when displaying the content type there is a “Column Order” link under the list of columns which can be used to change the order of columns.

In this example, “Title” is a required field, but you can still hide it. The form will allow the item to be created or updated even though a value has not been supplied.

Hardware Requirnment for SP 2010

SharePoint 2010 will only be available for 64 bit hardware. Microsoft's "minimum" requirements for RAM are 4GB for development/evaluation purposes and 8GB for production.

For an operating system, Windows Server 2008 SP2 or R2. (Each have their own Hotfixes you will need).

Microsoft SQL 2005 or 2008 (specific Hotfixes, Cumulative Updates and/or Service Packs needed). That said, you will need SQL Server 2008 R2 for "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 to work with PowerPivot workbooks".

The full requirements details are available here at this Microsoft Technet web page...

A video demo on "Installing SharePoint Server 2010" is also available on Technet.
