Disable Loopback Check

There is a security check in Windows 2008 which was introduced since the 2003 server version.

This check ensures that a web application cannot be accessed using a fully qualified domain name on the host machine.  If you try to do so, the system returns an access denied error (401.1 error).  In actual fact, the login even though is correct will get challenged and produce a logon failure if you check the event log.

The way to fix it is to make changes to the registry by following the steps below:
  1. Login to the Windows File Server
  2. Open regedit

Allow other machines to access share using aliases

Change Disable Strict Name Checking in the registry

Browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
  1. Add a DWORD named DisableStrictNameChecking
  2. Set value to 1
Also

Proceed to

HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 -Name “BackConnectionHostNames”

and add the FQDN of the web application to it.

PublishingAssociatedContentType

The Content Type to be associated with a page layout is indicated by the 'PublishingAssociatedContentType'. In the actual sense it means a binding setting between the Page Layout and the content type. If you fail to provide one, the SharePoint framework will make use of the Page Content type. The format of the binding is: ';# e.g. ';#ContentPage;#0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF3900470b13dd348649d08f9e5151501df9a4000dbd46dad8d045f98c83ad983b66d3f2;#'. where Content Type name: ContentPage Content Type ID: 0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF3900470b13dd348649d08f9e5151501df9a4000dbd46dad8d045f98c83ad983b66d3f2 respectively.
