SYMPTOMS

When you view the home page of a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Web Part Error: One of the properties of the Web Part has an incorrect format. Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again.

Network Service (for a domain controller only) - Read, Write
