We have upgraded our testenvironment with .NET 3.5 SP1 on the sharepoint frontend servers.


That causes problems:


 .net 3.5 brings in a security fix that affects distributed sharepoint environements e.g. webservices don't work anymore and problems with the formsserver because of security issues. This problem is handled by modifying the hosts file and setting a registry entry.


A good description of what to do can be found here: http://www.crsw.com/mark/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=44 and a MS KB article here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;896861


Is that all?
Are there some more hidden problems?
How does the .net 3.5 affect the kerberos things?


Does anyone of you have similar experiences about that?


 


 

Hi,

At my current customer we started from scratch and installed .NET 3.5 SP1 on all SharePoint / K2 machines prior to install everything else.

Now we are live with one workflow and have some other workflows already in the test environment and everything is fine! So, no problems with 3.5 SP1.

cheers,
marco

UPDATE: We had also problems with Kerberos, but that was not .NET related (MaxRequestLength for Kerberos tickets and the InfoPath webservice must be installed on the front-end servers)
