Q: We are trying to access Business Desk on Win2003 Server from a remote computer (XP). Our SQL and Analysis Servers are on the third Win 2003 computer. There is no firewall issue between the computers and. But the remote access to the Biz Desk failed. We
A: Phyu, are you receiving an error when trying to open the bizdesk or when trying to access one of the modules within the bizdesk? If so, what is the error?

Q: I installed 'sweet forgiveness' site on commerce server 2000 and it worked perfectly. But when I do it on commerce server 2002 with FP1, it does not work. Is this site only for commerce server 2000?

CharlesT (Expert):
Q: The error I received was something like "project_dw" not found ... but "project_dw" exists and i could see it under SQL and Analysis Servers...
A: Phyu, based on your error description it sounds like the client machine was unable to access or logon to the Analysis/OLAP server. A networ trace from the client machine should show more details to see if problem is access or permissions. Also, was there an error logged in the event logs?

Q: If Retail site of 2000 works, can 'sweet forgiveness' work on CS 2k2? Can you name some sample site for CS 2K2??
A: Sweet forgiveness wasn't explicitly tested, but it should work. Follow the upgrade guide link I sent you earlier. With CS2002, the focus of the sample sites was switched so ASP.Net. The Starter Site provides a tested solution for building ASP.Net sites on CS2002.
Henry Winkler (Expert):
Q: So you mean I have 'sweet..' site on Cs 2000, then follow the guide and upgrade it to CS 2k2? Or Shall i try Retail site? Or freshly CS2002 starter site?
A: I would try to take your installed "sweet forgiveness" site, follow the guide and upgrade to CS2k2 and see what happens.

Henry Winkler (Expert):
Q: But I want to test it on commerce server 2002. On 2000, it works fine. Is installing 'starter site 2002' is the only solution?

CharlesT (Expert):
Q: But I want to test it on commerce server 2002. On 2000, it works fine. Is installing 'starter site 2002' is the only solution?
A: The CS2002 Starter Site is not the only solution, but it is the preferred solution to build new sites on. On Commerce Server 2002 you can run sites based on either ASP or ASP.NET. So you can use the ASP based Retail sample site from Commerce Server 2000 or one of the sites available with/for Commerce Server 2002.
