Email | at | by Mike

Again, thanks to Ditto for this Important Advance Notice for Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 Technical Refresh Upgrade.

Upgrade from Beta 2 to Beta 2 Technical Refresh

  • Microsoft will upgrade all Windows SharePoint Services hosted sites from Beta 2 to the Beta 2 Technical Refresh, beginning June 17th. Your Windows SharePoint Services hosted site will be unavailable for approximately 48 hours.
  • We expect to have sites back online by end of week.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Known Issues and Impacts

  • Upon availability, you will need to update your PC client software for Office 2003 to the Office 2003 Beta 2 Technical Refresh
  • If you have used FrontPage 2003 to edit your site, upon availability, you will need to update to the FrontPage 2003 Beta 2 Technical Refresh version to work properly with Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 Technical Refresh.
  • Please do not file any bugs about feature functionality between client and server until you have upgraded to the Beta 2 Technical Refresh of the client.

Separate information will be provided shortly, announcing how to update your Office 2003 Beta 2 client applications to the Beta 2 Technical Refresh.

Support Information

Submit questions to the SharePoint newsgroup (beta.microsoft.******.sharepoint or beta.microsoft.******.sharepoint) if you have any problems with your hosted sites after the scheduled upgrade or for any other SharePoint issues (other than the list of known issues above)

Thank You,

The Microsoft Office System Team
