How to enable Discussions on the New Web Site

To use Web discussions on your SharePoint Portal Server computer from the Internet or extranet, you must modify the registry.

Use Web discussions to discuss a document with other users. Web discussions allow users to add remarks about a document without modifying the document itself. Discussions are threaded — replies to a discussion remark appear directly underneath the original remark. In addition, multiple discussions about the same document can occur at the same time. SharePoint Portal Server consolidates comments in a single location, allowing them to be easily reviewed.

To enable discussions on the new Web site:

1. On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type regedit, and then click OK.

3. In Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Web Server\1

4. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.

5. Save the file as EnableDiscussions on your desktop.

6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Office\9.0\Web Server\1.

7. Right-click 1 and then click Rename.

8. Type number and then press ENTER. Number is determined from the following procedure:

- On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

- Navigate to the directory where adsutil.vbs is located. Typically, this is in the Inetpub\AdminScripts directory on the operating system drive.

- Type cscript adsutil.vbs enum W3SVC/number, where number is 1, 2, etc. Type each number in order until the properties display the name of the new Web site. Typically, W3SVC/1 is the Default Web Site, W3SVC/2 is the Administration Web Site, and W3SVC/3 is the new Web site. If W3SVC/3 is the new Web site, you type 3 as number when renaming the registry key in this step.

9. Click Web Server.

10. On the Registry menu, click Import Registry File.

11. Import EnableDiscussions that you saved to the desktop previously.

12. Click OK.

13. Click 3, right-click Server Root Url in the right pane, and then click Modify.

14. In Value data, type the external FQDN of the server, and then click OK.

15. Close Registry Editor.

16. Restart the server.
