• • Software Requirements:
    
    • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

• Note: To install or remove a server admin template, you must have Administrator rights to both the Windows SharePoint Services site and to the root of the server on which it is to be installed or removed. Installation and removal are done via the Stsadm.exe command-line utility.
  • For 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2003, the stsadm.exe utility is located at the following path: %PROGRAMFILES%\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin.
  • For x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003, the stsadm.exe utility is located at the following path: %drive%\program files (x86)\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin.
  
  Installing the core:
  1. Pull the core file, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp, from the extracted distribution. The core solution file will be added to the solution store, a table in the Windows SharePoint Services configuration store that holds solution files.
  2. Via command line, run stsadm -o addsolution -filename <file_path>\ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp
  3. Next, run stsadm -o deploysolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -allowgacdeployment
     (Additional attributes may be required based on your Windows SharePoint Services configuration. For example:
     Single Server: [ -local | -time <time to deploy at> ]
     Farm: [ -immediate | -time <time to deploy at> ]
     To see the list of attributes, run stsadm -help deploysolution)
  4. Finally, run stsadm -o copyappbincontent
  Removing the core:
  
  Note: The Application Template Core solution must remain installed and deployed for other server admin templates to be installed.
  1. As Administrator, access the server. Removal is done via the command line utility stsadm.
  2. To retract a solution from being available to SharePoint sites, run stsadm -o retractsolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp (To see a list of optional attributes that can be added to this command, run stsadm -help retractsolution)
  3. To remove a solution from the server, run stsadm -o deletesolution -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp (To see a list of optional attributes that can be added to this command, run stsadm -help deletesolution)
  The Application Template Core has been removed from the solution store.
