SYMPTOMS

You may find that Web discussions do not work correctly when you use Web discussions features in Microsoft Internet Explorer to discuss a document that is stored in a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 workspace. For example, you cannot start a discussion, or you receive a blank screen when you close a document that you are discussing.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if SharePoint Portal Server 2001 is deployed in an extranet environment and if certain registry entries that are required for Web discussions are not configured on the server.

RESOLUTION

To use Web discussions with SharePoint Portal Server 2001 in an extranet environment, you must modify the server registry and then restart the server. The "Web Discussions" topic in the "Chapter 12 - Deploying SharePoint Portal Server in an extranet environment" section of the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Resource Kit explains how to do this.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
