This document describes how to use Microsoft FrontPage® 2002 to publish a Web site based on SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft from one server to another. To use this feature, you must first update both the FrontPage client computer and the Web server running SharePoint Team Services with Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 1. You need only update the destination Web server that you will be publishing to. You do not need to update SharePoint Team Services on the source Web server.

We recommend that a user with Web Administrator rights on both the source and destination team Web sites complete the steps described in the section below. Having an account with Web Administrator rights ensures that the user can view all content on the source team Web site and create a new team Web site on the destination Web server. FrontPage will publish only the content that the user's account allows access to on the source team Web site.

Publishing a SharePoint team Web site to a subweb on another server

1. Install Office XP Service Pack 1 on the FrontPage 2002 client computer.
2. Install Office XP Service Pack 1 on the destination Web server running SharePoint Team Services.
3. Open FrontPage 2002.
4. On the File menu, click Open Web and navigate to the source team Web site.
5. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
6. In the Publish Destination dialog box, type the location of the destination team Web site. For best results you should publish to a new subweb that does not already exist. Publishing to an existing SharePoint team Web site that already has its own lists may result in broken views and Web site corruption.
7. Click OK. If you chose to publish to a subweb that does not already exist, FrontPage displays a dialog box asking if you want to create a new site at that location. Click OK to create the new team Web site. You can publish any nested subwebs by clicking the check box Include Subwebs.
8. Click Publish.

Publishing a SharePoint team Web site to a root Web site on a new virtual server

1. Install Office XP Service Pack 1 on the FrontPage 2002 client computer.
2. Install Office XP Service Pack 1 on the destination Web server running SharePoint Team Services.
3. On the SharePoint Team Services Web server, extend the virtual server you will be publishing to. When you extend the virtual server you will need to extend it with the Site Type option SharePoint-enabled blank Web site. More information about extending virtual servers can be found in the SharePoint Team Services Administrators Guide.
4. Open FrontPage 2002.
5. On the File menu, click Open Web and navigate to the source team Web site.
6. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
7. In the Publish Destination dialog box, type the location of the destination virtual server you extended in step 3.
8. Click Publish.

Notes

• Some settings are not copied when you publish lists including user accounts, roles, subscriptions, notifications, custom field orders for lists, Web discussions, document library template settings, and any document library rules that have been set up using FrontPage. Those settings must be re-established on the destination team Web site.
• If the computer running FrontPage 2002 is also running Microsoft Windows® 2000 Service Pack 2, you may receive a "time out error" message or a repeated request for a user name and password when publishing lists. To resolve this problem, in Windows, click Start and then click Windows Update. From the Windows Update site, download the latest service pack for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
