Amanda Murphy has started writing SharePoint articles for Intranet Journal. The SharePoint series over there has slowed down since I got too busy to contribute. But with Amanda and Rob, I look forward to more great stuff!

I started the process on Friday afternoon, so you may need to adjust each days activities...

Day 1 (afternoon)

Create Virtual Machine and Virtual Disk; Install Windows 2003 Server R2; Download 32 patches from Windows Update.

Day 2

Watch A.J beat the Cubs in the ninth-inning sandwich by the World Cup semi-finals.

Day 3

Mow lawn; Buy new garage door opener; Pay for installation (It is a hardware problem!); Other honey-do's.

Day 4

Work on a setup project for the SharePoint Forums WebPart.

Day 5

Independance Day parade, cook-out and fireworks.

Day 6

Download and install WSS and its prerequisites. Ian Morrish has them summarized on his demo site.

Day 7 (morning)

Configure Forms Authentication using tips from Nick Swan and code from the ASP.Net Quick Start. (In an interesting intersection of old and new, I used Notepad to create an ASP.Net 2.0 application!)

The SharePoint Team has done a fantastic job!

Symptom:

When performing a search on a WSS page that has been customized, the standard WSS error page displays with the message "Unable to validate data"

Cause:

The search box is rendered via the <SharePoint:ViewSearchForm> tag. In the customized pages, this tag was inside the <form runat="server"> tag
