Microsoft Productivity Hub Training Site installed on WSSDemo

Microsoft has developed the Productivity Hub http://bit.ly/1dYUE1 to help support your ongoing end user training efforts.

I have installed this on WSSDemo.com http://templates.wssdemo.com:8080/sites/productivity for your viewing pleasure.

The Hub is a SharePoint Server 2007 site collection that serves as a learning community and is fully customizable. It provides a central place for your training efforts, and includes training content from Microsoft's core products. Microsoft also provides ongoing and updated content packs.

The Hub uses SharePoint Server's social networking capabilities, such as blogs and discussion groups. In addition, it offers the Coach program, a change management feature to help you train end users to self-help, reducing the burden on your training and IT staff. The Coach program impacts productivity in a collaborative and positive way.

 

It's not often that I see my SQL Server very busy but the install of Microsoft's Productivity Hub training solution for SharePoint required several full index crawls and this was the result

Did you get the search to work? I kept getting a message "Crawled property was not found. No mapping created. Please verify tha tthe site was fully crawled prior to running this tool." I got this after I crawled/indexed the site and ran postinstall.bat.

Hi, I had the same problem. Because it is a new site collection, you must have it listed in a Site Directory and approved. I also had a problem with the web application not being accessible from the index server due to the index server hosted IIS virtual server for that web app not having the correct host header but I found this in the crawl error log.

Hi Ian I'm getting the same crawl error. I installed the HUB to a new site collection based on a blank site, so I don't believe it has a site directory. Is there another workaround?

I solved this by removing the hub site from the default content source. I then created a new content source that included only the productivity hub. I then performed a full crawl and ran the postinstall, which ran without issue this time.

Hub OOB it is great and turns on some light bulbs (ideas). Documentation included do not provide any guidance on how to add new products. Here is an attempt to offer steps involved to expand the Hub. http://www.agileconcepts.com/Blogs/AQ/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=34 http://www.agileconcepts.com/Blogs/AQ/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=36 http://www.agileconcepts.com/Blogs/AQ/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=37 Aamir Qureshi

Sorry, the url is now http://templates.wssdemo.com:8080/sites/productivity

Saturday, 27 Feb 2010 03:17 by WSS or MOSS?
Just wondering...Does the Productivity Hub *require* MOSS, or can it be installed on plain old WSS?
