Find Checked Out Files

Calendar February 24, 2010 | Posted by Stewart

From time-to-time we have incremental deployments fail because of issues with checked out pages or other objects.  So, I searched for a way to find all the checked out files and came across Ryan Steeno’s blog.

Here is an overview of the process:

  1. Create a new managed property in the Shared Service Provider (SSP)
  2. Perform a full crawl on the SharePoint content source
  3. Use the new managed property by searching something like: checkoutuser:<author_name>

 

Go to Ryan’s blog post for details: Find checked out files using MOSS Enterprise Search

      Thanks, Steve. I guess that’s what I get for not just copying the content.

      I did some looking, but wasn’t able to find his new home. If you come across it, please let me know.
