To know if it is Standard or Enterprise version of MOSS,

Go to the Central administration -> Operations-> Enable Enterprise features. This will show you whether it is standard or enterprise. If it is enterprise edition, Button would be disabled.

BTW, mistaken link or not, this still pointed me in the right direction (got a bit confused when the link led to me a D/L that, when executed, said it expected a different version - but I got there in the end. Thanks!

Your first link to MOSS 2007/WSS 3.0 Service Pack 1 actually points to WSS (non-3.0) SP1 - Might want to fix that link.

Thanks Tyler,
I have brought the content over via Sharepoint Designer, some by improting and some by copying templates across (are these acceptable practices?).

Cannot complete this action.

Error reads:
"Please try again. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.GetTimeZoneInfo(Int32 lcid, UInt16& pwTimeZoneID, Object& pvarBias, Object& pvarStandardDate, Object& pvarDaylightDate, String& pbstrDescription)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.GetTimeZoneInfo(Int32 lcid, UInt16& pwTimeZoneID, Object& pvarBias, Object& pvarStandardDate, Object& pvarDaylightDate, String& pbstrDescription)"

Unfortunately both sites are hosted, so I can only request the second provider to instal SP1.

These are still trial sites, so it might be easier to start from new with the 12.0.0.4518 environment.

This is all new to me (am more comfortable with 'old' web design and html!) so I am not tech-smart enough to use the stsadm commands (don't know where/how).

Also I am struggling to see how to work on the site offline, it all seems to be live even through SP Designer. Any advice on this?

Many thanks

Hey Celeste,

It kind of depends. How was the content brought over? You shouldn't be able to restore 12.0.0.6219 content to a 12.0.0.4518 using the stsadm commands. Did you move the content using SharePoint Designer? And more importantly what kind of errors are you getting?

While I'm not positive it will help, it definetly seems like a half decent idea to get a backup from your hosted environment (12.0.0.6219), ideally with an "stsadm -o backup..." service pack your own machine (SP1) and then restore the hosted content over an existing site on your own machine (stsadm -o restore -overwrite...). It's of note that this will replace your site with the one from the hosted site.

Hi,
I think I am having a similar problem... I have brought some content from a hosted sharepoint (on 12.0.0.6219) into my site hosted on a 12.0.0.4518 - and experiencing errors in viewing lists and creating columns.

Would the service pack being added create a fix form my existing content or would I have to rebuild/restore it after the SP? (assuming that IS the problem).

Sorry MG, I should have been more specific in the post. The Client would NOT upgrade the machine. While we could of course just upgraded the clients machine to SP 1 we don't always have control over client hardware. It's very often governed by some corporate IT department. The point of article was that you CAN'T deploy content databases of later versions of SharePoint (say SP1) into earlier versions (say RTM). Thanks for the feedback.
