Moving / restoring the Disscusion Board.
Hi Folks, I have a problem. I have a disscusion board and due to some stuff i mess up everything in that disscusion board. Now i want to get it back on my last best known setting. I restore the content db on the other server and then attach it to a web app.Its working over their and i can see everything over their. Now my question Is their any way i can move the disscusion board from that dev envirnoment to our prod envirnoment. I know i can use the import & export function but i want to know if their is anyother way to do this. Like copy with the help of windows explorer or any command which send it to another location? thanks waqasi am at entry level administrator

Hi, You can save the discussion board as template in dev environment and create a new discussion board using template in prod environment. In dev environment: 1) Go to discussion board setting page and select "Save discussion board as template" . 2) Go to "List Template Gallery" (Site Settings --> List templates under Galleries). 3) Download the template. In prod environment: 4) Navigate to "List Template Gallery" (same as step 2) 5) Upload the template. 6) Go to "Create" page and create a new discussion list using new template. Hope this helps. Regards.
