Sharepoint 2007 Service Pack 2 Release(MOSS SP2)

I got a new task assigned to upgrade my MOSS Farm from SP1 to SP2.
Here are the steps which I done
Step 1
Installed Service Pack 2 for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, x86 & x64

Step 2
Installed Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007, x86 & x64
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B7816D90
Once after the upgrade checkpoints -

Check 1
Go to the Control Panel>Add remove programs > Select "Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007" > Click here for Support Information. This would be updated to 12.0.6425.1000












    Check 2
    Go to Central Admin > Operations > Servers In Farm > The Version would be upgrade to 12.0.0.6421 from 12.0.0.6219








    Possible Errors
    Strangely I was getting the below error while installing "Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007" Installer -










    The error was saying something pertaining to Registry and Microsoft Search Front End which was a bit confusing, but later I found this was happening because of Disk Space on my C Drive.

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: MsiInstaller
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1023
    Date: 08/03/2010
    Time: 18:27:26
    User: *****\Administrator
    Computer: ******
    Description:
    The description for Event ID ( 1023 ) in Source ( MsiInstaller ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Microsoft Search Front End, 2007 Microsoft Office System Servers Service Pack 2 (SP2), 1603, C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.APP\LOCALS~1\Temp\coreserverwwsp2_MSPLOG.LOG, (NULL), , .

    Creating a bit more space (1 GB) and rerunning the Installer fixed the issue, So a quick check would be on your C: drive space before you install the Service packs.

    Total Count of Items in a List in Sharepoint

    -
    Image
    I had a recent assignment to test the performance of a List. The list was behaving really slow and I need to determine the total number of items in the list.
    Aaaah ………… there starts the problem. I wanted the total number of items in the list and I could only do that by navigating through the List Item pages which was around 20,000 + Items, So need to click through every single pages and it would take couple of months to figure out the exact numbers. Then I thought about the "Calculated Columns" in Sharepoint.
    Finally I figured out to get the total count of the Items in a Sharepoint List. Here are the steps -


    Step 1.Create a "Calculated (calculation based on other columns) " column in the List
    Step 2.Column Name - "Total"
    The Type of Information in this column - "Calculated"
    In the Formula Column put - "=SUM(ID)" (without apostrophise)
    Select "The data type returned from this formula is: " as Number
    Step 3.Select "OK" -…

    Step 2.

    Read on if you want to find a solution for this scenario..... I did tried lot of researching and I got bits and pieces of information scattered in the net but couldn’t find a compete article, so thought to blog it, hope this will help you.

    I will brief a bit more on the scenario:

    I was asked to create a Master Custom list for users of different departments in my company however since there are confidential documents these items should not be shown to each other. My initial thought was to achieve this OOB using views and permission however while digging down I understood that this was not straight forward and I couldn’t find much help from the internet. To achieve this I have done the below :
