HTTP Error 401.1 Accessing SharePoint from server

If you receive the following error message when you attempt to access your SharePoint site from the server itself,

"HTTP 401.1 – Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials”

your environment most likely had Microsoft Security Update 957097 (MS08-068) installed.

You can refer to the KB article 896861 to resolve the issue. It is highly recommended you pick method 1 over method 2 when making this change in a production environment.

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP2

It is recommended your read KB Article 953338 before installing SP2.

Here are the links to the Service Packs!

Update!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am still around and kicking. I have just been swamped with other projects. I still have every intention of releasing the “TinyUrl” like feature for SharePoint in the near future.

Thank you for all of those who have expressed interest in this project. All your feedback is valuable and will definitely be incorporated if possible.

Happy Holidays

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  See you all next year!
