"Windows SharePoint Services Search" is not showing in the my APP server. I checked in WFE als, there also it is not there. I checked in "Services->Windows SharePoint Services Search" is running in all servers. It was shown before. When I am playing around this. I lost it.
How to get back it?
Run the SharePoint configuration wizard again. but in your screen shot i'm not seeing anything missing. is it the old screen shot
When you install MOSS, the Enterprise search (Office SharePoint Server Search) takes over and the WSS search becomes Windows SharePoint Services Help Search.

I've installed SharePoint Foundation on Windows 7 Home Premium using the tutorial at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx#50
Everything went well except for the last step when I actually try to load either the site or Central Administration. Instead of a Foundation website, only a blank page appears.
I tried without success the suggested solution to change IIS -> Authentication -> Basic Authentication to Enabled.
After this change it was necessary to enter a username and password when trying to access a Foundation site. Unfortunately, after entering correct data a "Server Not Found" message appeared and I was not able to proceed.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time,
Ben
1st step of troubleshooting this is to take SharePoint out of the equation. Setup a new web application in IIS, put in a simple 'hello world' type static html page and try and load that. If you can't then the problem is IIS/networking and not SharePoint.
For what it's worth, I've found a way to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium and solve the Windows Authentication issue (you CAN actually enable it on Home Premium as well - it's just a manual process, that's all).
You can find the steps I followed on my blog at http://www.rl-soft.com/en/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=21
Hope this helps a few folks!

We've setup the sharepoint services sites and works nicely. We've also setup multiple sites such as: http://192.168.100.52/, http://192.168.100.52/sites/IT, http://192.168.100.52/sites/Finance and couple other sites under the root.
We've setup the search service as per Ms said BUT my impression that when you search you only search within site that you are on so it can't not search a global search. How do I achieve this? From what I heard this is a limitation of WSS, correct? I've also heard that there is another Ms Search Server service that allow to do this. Is this right?
BTW ... we are using WSS 3.0 not SPPS 2007.
I am appreciated your comment.
Thanks
This is indeed a limitation of WSS, for full blown cross sitecollection search you need MOSS. There are some workarounds (like this) and third part tools (KwizCom). Also it is possible to "upgrade" your wss 3.0 installation to Search Server 2008, as per this Technet article.
You can setup a Search Server Express outside the WSS. Then in SSE admin create an index that includes the WSS sites. Finally, create a WSS site called "our company global search" and use it for the cross-wss site searches.
Other than that WSS will only give you search option of searching the currrent site and below.
I setup a test box computer with server 2008 (standard edition, not R2 and not hyper-v editing). I then installed SharePoint 2010. I was amazed how easy the whole setup went (the prerequisites setup on the SharePoint disk made this process oh so easy – great install system). Really this was just so easy.
This test box is being used for testing Access web services. I am able to well publish access applications to this test server and Access applications publish and run just fine on the web SharePoint site through an web browser.
However, the only thing that does not work is when I launch a Access report. The error message I get back is
This report failed to load because session state is not turned on.
Here is a screen shot:
I can’t seem to find the setting anywhere to turn session state on. Any hints or links on how to enable session state in SharePoint 2010 would be most appreciated.
On Todds blog you can find a post which explains how to turn on session state in SharePoint 2010.
Here is the solution:
http://geekdeck.com/sharepoint-2010-this-report-failed-to-load-because-session-state-is-not-turned-on/
Probably not in SharePoint head over to the IIS configuration and see whether session state is enabled there. I am not aware of anything in the SharePoint forms (I did set up 2010 on the weekend) that indicates session state. And as session state on farms is an administrator action (state server etc.), maybe they simply did not activate it?;)
i have the sharepoint site , infact it is MOSS site. I want to show the reports on share point site. Is there any facility available for to do so? Or is i need to develop any webpart for same? please guide.....
reply will appreciable....! :)
I suggest you make web user controls and have gridview or any report that you want and upload it as a webpart.
let me know if you need further help.
Since you are running MOSS you have a SQL Server which means you have a license for SQL Reporting Services (SRS). SRS integrates with Sharepoint very nicely, one in standard mode (reports are hosted within SQL) and another mode called "integrated" where the reports are actaully housed within SharePoint and revisioned/versioned as such. If SRS doesn't work for you use a page viewere web part to pass through the reports from the reporting engine of your choice.
I have a series of reports served by SSRS. They are great and the users like them.
That being the case, upper management wants to throw a wrench in the works and serve the reports from the Sharepoint server.
Is there a realtively painless way to let users access the reports from sharepoint? How would somebody go about doing such a thing? Or do I just need to bite the bullet and try to stop the madness?
I'm not sure which version of SSRS or Sharepoint you're using, but there have traditionally been both a Report Viewer and a Report Explorer web part shipped with Sharepoint in the RSWebParts.CAB file (at least since SQL Server 2005 SP2 I think). You can start there, but if you wanted quick and low-tech you could put in an IFRAME web part and point it to the Reports folder on your SSRS Server. Since you're using Sharepoint, that's also making the assumption that you're using Windows Authentication, so that wouldn't be an issue there.
Here's a link that might be of some use:
Viewing Reports with SharePoint 2.0 Web Parts
The most painless is going to be to run SSRS in Native mode, which it sounds like you're doing already, then install the SSRS web parts on your WSS/MOSS server.
You will have to manage security and report source control using some other methods besides sharepoint, however you don't have to deal with installing WSS/MOSS on your SSRS box and adding it to your SharePoint farm.
The more painful option is to run SSRS in Integrated mode. This allows you to use all the SharePoint document management stuff for your reports and share the same security setup however, the server configuration can be lengthy and difficult to setup.
