Previewing SharePoint objects

For SharePoint® sites/webs and lists, you can display a web browser in place of the Objects pane.

To preview SharePoint objects
1
Open the SharePoint Security module.
2
Select a SharePoint site/web or list in the Navigation pane.
3
Click . The Objects pane is replaced by a web browser and the SharePoint page for the selected object displays.
To hide the preview and redisplay the Objects pane, click again.

Deploying the SharePoint web service

To access the security for a selected SharePoint®site, you must install the SharePoint Web Service. The first time you select a SharePoint server in the Navigation pane, you are prompted to install a web service.

The SharePoint Web Service Deployment Wizard guides you through installing the SharePoint Web Service on web front end servers in your farm or site.

 
* 
NOTE: To ensure the deployment succeeds, be sure that all web front end servers in the farm or site are running two required SharePoint services.
•
For SharePoint 2007, Windows® SharePoint Services Administration and Windows SharePoint Services Timer must be running.
•
For SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2010 Administration and SharePoint 2010 Timer must be running.
•
For SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016, and SharePoint 2019, SharePoint Administration and SharePoint Timer Service must be running.
To deploy the SharePoint web service
1
Select a SharePoint server in the Navigation pane. If the SharePoint Web Service is not present, you see a message indicating that you should run the Deployment Wizard.
 
* 
NOTE: If you ran the SharePoint Web Service Wizard and still see the SharePoint Web Service Error message, the deployment may not be completely finished. To check on the current state of the deployment, we provide a command that you can copy. Click More Details, and click Advanced. See step four in Deploying the SharePoint web service manually.
NOTE: To view more information, click More Details. You can view and save the error message received from SharePoint. If you prefer to install SharePoint Web Service manually, click Manual Web Service Deployment. See Deploying the SharePoint web service manually.

Choose the version of SharePoint you are using, and click Next. The SharePoint URL page displays the name of the selected server in the URL box.
5
If necessary, type the site root URL in the URL box.
 
* 
NOTE: If the SharePoint site is not using port 80, then include the port number in the URL (http://siteroot:portnumber). Do not include any page information in the URL.
6
Click Next.
7
If necessary, type a server name in the Server name box. Alternatively, click Browse and locate a server. To test communication with the server, click Test.
 
* 
NOTE: The server name must be one of the web front end servers in your farm or site. You need to include only one server name. All other web front end servers in your farm or site currently running are included automatically in the deployment process.
8
Click Next.
For farms and sites with multiple web front end servers, it is recommended that you supply specific account credentials to run the deployment. The account must be a member of the local administrators group on the target sever and must have sufficient access rights to the SharePoint databases. Click Advanced User Selection to locate an account name.
For single-server SharePoint sites, leave the boxes blank to run the deployment using the local system account for the target server. The target server must contain the SharePoint database.
9
Click Next.
 
* 
NOTE: To view the commands applied during deployment, click Advanced. See Deploying the SharePoint web service manually.

Click Finish.
The deployment process checks the server you selected for two required SharePoint services. You are responsible for ensuring that these two services are running on the other web front end servers in your farm/site before continuing with the deployment.

Deploying the SharePoint web service manually

You can deploy the SharePoint® Web Service manually.

 
* 
NOTE: If you ran the automatic removal process and it failed, when you run the manual process there may be a timer job running that will prevent the manual process from completing successfully. If this scenario occurs, you need to delete the timer job and retry the manual process. See SharePoint web service removal fails.

7
On the target web server where you copied the file in step two, open a command prompt, and execute two STSADM.exe commands: execute the addsolution command, and execute the deploysolution command.
 
* 
NOTE: To run STSADM.exe commands, you must be logged in as a member of the local administrators group and have sufficient rights to the various SharePoint databases.
NOTE: Click Deploy Commands to open the SharePoint Web Service Commands page where you can copy and paste the commands. Click More Information for a command that lists all of the SharePoint web service solutions present on your farm or site.
