Site Admin Templates
Note: To install or remove a site admin template, you must have Administrator rights
to both the Windows SharePoint Services site on which it is to be installed.
Installing a template:
- Log into the SharePoint site as the site Administrator.
- From the Site Actions drop-down menu in the top right, select Site
Settings.
- Under the Galleries section, select Site templates.
- Select Upload to load an application template into this SharePoint site.
- Browse to the <template_name>.stp file from the distribution and select
Open. If there are several application templates to load into the site, use
the Upload Multiple Files… option to load them all at once.
- Click Ok to complete the upload of the application template to your
SharePoint site.
Creating a site:
- Log into the SharePoint site as the site Administrator.
- From the Site Actions drop-down menu in the top right, select Site Settings.
- Under the Site Administration section, select Sites and Workspaces.
- Select Create to create a new site using a site template.
- Complete the new SharePoint site information. In the Template Selection
section, select the Custom tab. Any site admin application templates that have
been uploaded will be listed here.
- Select the template to use for this site and click Create.
A site has now been created using the application template.
Removing a template:
Note: This process will not remove any sites that were already created using the
template. It will only prevent users from creating new sites based on the
template.
- Log into the SharePoint site as the site Administrator.
- From the Site Actions drop-down menu in the top right, select Site Settings.
- Under the Galleries section, select Site templates.
- In the list of site templates, find the application template to remove and

Item.

The application template is now unavailable to SharePoint sites and has been
removed from the SharePoint site template gallery.
Server Admin Templates
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 a template:
- Before installing a server admin template, you must first install the
Application Template Core solution, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp. (Click here to
download). If you have already installed this solution, proceed to Step 2.
- 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.
- Via command line, run stsadm -o addsolution -filename <file_path>\ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp
- 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)
- Finally, run stsadm -o copyappbincontent
- Pull the solution file, <template_name>.wsp, from the extracted distribution.
The solution file will also be added to the solution store.
- Via command line, run stsadm -o addsolution -filename <file_path>\<template_name>.wsp
- Next, run stsadm -o deploysolution -name <template_name>.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)
- To check the deployment status, browse to the WSS Central Administration
site. Click the Operations tab, and then click Solution management under global
configuration.
- After all the solutions are marked Globally Deployed, run iisreset from the
command line.
Creating a site:
- Log into the SharePoint site as the site Administrator.
- From the Site Actions drop-down menu in the top right, select Site Settings.
- Under the Site Administration section, select Sites and Workspaces.
- Select Create to create a new site using a site template.
- Complete the new SharePoint site information. In the Template Selection
section, select the Application Templates tab. Any server admin templates that
have been deployed will be listed here.
- Select the template to use for this site and click Create.
A site has now been created using the application template.
Removing a template:
Note: This process will not remove any sites that were already created using the
template. It will only prevent users from creating new sites based on the
template. The Application Template Core solution must remain installed and
deployed for other server admin templates to be installed.
- As Administrator, access the server. Removal is done via the command line
utility stsadm.
- To retract a solution from being available to SharePoint sites, run stsadm -o
retractsolution -name <template_name>.wsp (To see a list of optional attributes
that can be added to this command, run stsadm -help retractsolution)
- To remove a solution from the server, run stsadm -o deletesolution -name <template_name>.wsp
(To see a list of optional attributes that can be added to this command, run stsadm -help deletesolution)
The application template is now unavailable to SharePoint sites and the solution
has been removed from the solution store.
