SharePoint 2007 Workflow Fail to Start(retrying) in Designer and Out-of-Box

Today we had to deploy a heavy custom solution to re-brand our sharepoint enviornment. Everything went well except while testing we noticed that none of the workflows SPD and Out-of-Box is working ... well the strange thing was that none of our wsp deployments were touching the workflows.

Well after testing a little more we found out that the workflows are working but the status always shows Fail to Start(retrying) and it says that it is canceled by the system account.

After little googling and with one of our colleagues suggestion we checked the service account used by our troubled web application ... and there was the issue. So, we did the following to resolve the issue (of course it was nothing to do with our deployments but i don't know how did it got re-set.

Steps:

1. Open Central admin -> Operations.


3. Then on the service account screen in web application pool dropdown,select windows sharepoint services web application and in appplication pool drop down select the web application where the workflow is not working.

4. Now, Check the apppool account in configurable. This account should match the identity (or apppool account) for your web application in IIS. If its not make it the same and everything goes back to the normal Yeh!2. Under Security configuration go to service accounts.

    First off I ωoulԁ like tο sаy tеrгifiс blog!
    ӏ hаԁ a quick queѕtіon whісh І'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Kudos!

Social tagging overview in Sharepoint 2010

A tag is a word or phrase that identifies an individual piece of information according to a set of attributes or criteria. Tags make it easy to find and share information about a specific subject or task. Social tagging helps users categorize information in ways that are meaningful to them. Social tagging can improve the quality of search results by filtering against specific tags, and it can also connect individuals who want to share information with other users who have like interests. This article describes the social tagging features in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. This article does not describe how to configure social tagging features. It also does not discuss how to implement social tagging features as part of an overall social media strategy for an enterprise.
