Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 cumulative update package (WSS server-package): December 16, 2008

Cumulative update packages for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 contain hotfixes for the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 issues that have been fixed since the release of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Note This build of the cumulative update package is also known as build 12.0.6335.5000.

We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 fix release.

Important notes about the cumulative update package

• The 2007 Microsoft Office hotfixes are now multilanguage. Therefore, there is only one cumulative hotfix package for all languages.
• One cumulative hotfix package includes all the server component packages. The cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.

Issues that this cumulative update package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

• When you try to attach the content database by using the Stsadm -o Addcontentdb command, you may receive the following error message:
  Error "upgrade completed with errors"
  [SPManager] [ERROR] [11/1/2008 11:15:48 AM]: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
• You have a tree view that has too many nodes. When you try to run a full content deployment or an incremental content deployment, you may receive the following error message:
  Cannot complete his action.
  Please try again. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.ImportNavigationXml.
• After you apply the August Cumulative Update (Knowledge Base article 956057 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956057) ), the Custom List Forms for editing do not display correctly on lists that contain multiple-selection fields.
  
  
• You upgrade a Windows SharePoint Service (WSS) 2.0 site to WSS 3.0. Then, you upgrade the site to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. After that, you cannot use the "Content and Structure" feature to move existing items between different document libraries and folders.
  
  
• You use the Approval workflow in a document library, and you select SharePoint groups as approvers. Some of your domain trusts are offline. In this scenario, when the workflow is initiated, it fails, and you may receive the following error message in the Unified Logging Service (ULS) log:
  System.SystemException
  The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed.
• If you open a Web page that has a Discussion Board Web part in SharePoint Designer 2007, and you save the Web page, the Discussion Board Web part is broken.
  
  
• A site column is added by using a URL that has different uppercase or lowercase letters from the letters in the URL that was used to create the site. When this occurs, the Site Columns page is broken.
  
  
• When you try to back up and restore the SharePoint environment, folders that are pending approval may prevent Data Protection Manager (DPM) from restoring the files and the folders.
  
  
• Auditing policies for Document library cannot audit view events for non-Office files.
  
  
• The Picture library sub-view selector for Details, Thumbnails, and Filmstrip in the All Pictures view is lost after you install the WSS 3.0 Infrastructure Update (Knowledge Base article 951695 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951695) ).
  
  
• When you click the Local Office SharePoint Server sites link in Content Sources, you may receive the following error message:
  Unexpected Error has occurred
• Search returns no (zero) results during an index merge process.
  
  
• In Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, there are multiple content types. After you change the column order, the Content Type field appears last in the Web File Properties window for Office 2003 clients when you save documents.
