Hi Wayne,
Thanks for your quick reply.
1. When you access to the document library or list from “All site content” link, it will go to the application page, whose url likes “_layouts/ListEdit.aspx?List={2F1D624E-9D7F-434E-9B91-DF95A7175CD8}&Source=..”. not the allItems.aspx page
- Yes it is indeed the link that showing, instead of redirecting to the default view.
2. Did you customize the List or Library using SharePoint Designer? Did you delete or create new view in the SharePoint Designer 2007.
- Our user did indeed use SharePoint Designer for alot of sites, but I dought that they did modify everyone one of them, but I still need to confirm with them.
- I didn't try to delete the AllItems.aspx and recreate it via SharePoint Designer 2007, I try to not use it if possible.
3. A workaround about this is creating a new view. You can create a new View for the List or library, and then set it as default view.http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/set-a-default-view-HA001161237.aspx
- As you can see in my original post, I indeed try recreate them via "_layouts.aspx/ViewType.aspx?List=%7B3F5285CB%2D056E%2D4873%2D9253%2DE0C7E76E755B%7D" then selected the "All ..." template under Start from a View template, but for most it recreate
them with the url _layouts/allitems1.aspx
4. You can delete the default view (allItems.aspx) using SharePoint API at first, and then create a new one.

The thing is event if the direct URL work, if I try to look at it via the command lets I don't have an ID.
Here is the script that I use to trap those list:
# Sharepoint basics functions
function Get-LocalFarm {
return [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local
}
filter Get-WebService {
$webServices = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebServiceCollection($_)
$webServices
}
filter Get-WebApplication {
$_.WebApplications
}
filter Get-SiteCollection {
$_.Sites
}
filter Get-Web {
$_.AllWebs
}
$myDate = get-date -uformat "%Y-%m-%d"
$destination = "D:\MissingView_SP2007_NCSA_$myDate.txt"
#create a CSV file
"ParentURL;List Title;Is Hidden;List GUID;List Settings URL" > $destination #Write the Headers in to a text file
$SPWebApps = Get-LocalFarm | Get-WebService | Get-WebApplication
Foreach ($WA in $SPWebApps){
Write-Host "Loading" $WA.Name
Foreach ($SPsite in $WA.Sites) # get the collection of site collections
{
Write-Host " - Loading site" $SPsite.url
Foreach($SPweb in $SPsite.AllWebs) # get the collection of sub sites
{
Write-Host " - Loading web" $SPweb.url
Foreach ($SPList in $SPweb.Lists){
Write-Host " - Checking list" $SPList.Title
if ( !($SPlist.DefaultViewUrl) ) # Grab only the list if there's no default view set.
{
Write-Host " - List "$SPList.Title" doesn't have a default view !"
if (!($SPList.Hidden)) # Grab only the list that are not in hidden mode.
{
$SPweb.Url + ";" + $SPList.Title +";"+ $SPList.Hidden +";"+ $SPList.ID +";"+ $SPweb.Url+ "/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List="+$SPList.ID >> $destination #append the data
}
}
if ($SPlist.DefaultViewUrl -imatch "allitems1.aspx" ) # Grab only the list if there's no default view set.
{
Write-Host " - List "$SPList.Title" have a modified default view !"
if (!($SPList.Hidden)) # Grab only the list that are not in hidden mode.
{
$SPweb.Url + ";" + $SPList.Title +";"+ $SPList.Hidden +";"+ $SPList.ID +";"+ $SPweb.Url+ "/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List="+$SPList.ID +"; modified default view">> $destination #append the data
}
}
}
}
}
}
If you put a break point after "Write-Host " - List "$SPList.Title" doesn't have a default view !" and look at the variable you will see no info.
Sometime I will get a few view that are not "allItems.aspx" or sometime view witout title:
[DBG]: PS C:\> $SPList.Views | select title,ID,Url | ft -AutoSize
Title ID Url
----- -- ---
f2b6fde0-46e6-437d-9cf9-ce1da365eb39 default.aspx
And other times I will got simply nothing:
[DBG]: PS C:\> $SPList.Views | select title,ID,Url | ft -AutoSize
[DBG]: PS C:\>
Here a exemple of a list were I got that AllItems.aspx already existed but as you see it's not listed:
[DBG]: PS C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12> $SPList.Views | select title,ID,Url | ft -AutoSize
Title ID Url
