I have a confession . . . I took my first step moving to the dark side three months ago. You see, my beloved Treo 700w had finally died for the last time - it had lived a long, hard life of just over 2 years and had been dropped countless times. I was...
I have been getting this question a lot recently, so I decided I should probably blog it. When you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 using the published document from Microsoft, Windows SharePoint Services is set up as a stand-alone server. This...
This is the first in a short series of running Windows Sharepoint Services v3 on your SBS 2003 / R2 server. First the caveat: Upgrading and/or running your companyweb site with Windows Sharepoint Services v3 is not supported - neither by Microsoft nor...
Anyone who has spent any time with me is familiar with my complete and utter loathing of everything Intuit. But instead of ranting about how it's an inferior, bloated, poorly-coded application that ignores both IT and accounting best practices, I'm going...
Yes Virginia - there is a Santa Claus . . . oh wait, wrong story . . . So as I mentioned in my previous post, I took the plunge and installed Vista RC2 on my primary production machine, and so far it's going well . . . granted a bit of a learning curve...
Can you believe that this Wednesday, October 25th - marks the 5 year anniversary of the launch of Windows XP? 5 years! Wow, no wonder things have been pretty comfortable and cozy on the help desk front - work with an OS for that long and you're bound...
So, one question that I get asked regularly is if you can use a different name to access your companyweb. For whatever reason, it appears SBSers have their own ideas of what URL / name they want for their individual intranets The good news is that this...
So, with my last post I talked about using smigrate to backup and restore your SharePoint sites. With this post I'm going to go one step further and attack a specific scenario that I seem to be getting more and more questions on - migrating your companyweb...
Ok, for those of you who are either outside North America or simply have been living under a rock lately, Best Buy is making a move into the SMB solution space. Specifically, they're rolling out a Best Buy for Business program, and naturally using their...
So, there has been a decent amount of rumblings about the new Palm Treo 700w from Verizon Wireless (running Windows Mobile 5.0) - and it's apparent inability to sync with SBS. Sean has a good post outlining how Windows Mobile 5.0 has changed how it handles...
I love swing migrations - I really do. Admittedly, I haven't done too many - primarily since currently our oldest SBS installation won't hit the 3 year mark until this coming April, and an overwhelming majority of our installs are new installs / first...
I'm sure that most people here are aware that there are circles in the IT community where SBS is a punchline. One of the most common assertations is that ISA on SBS is a security compromise. So I figured it was time to address this head on. Is ISA on...
So, it appears that everyone has survived the first SMBTN Summer Conference. I've got to take my hat off to Roger, Jim and everyone else who put in tons of effort to pull this off. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire event - and the best part is being able...
Last week, we were installing SBS SP1 for one of our SBS Premium customers. Naturally, we upgraded their ISA 2000 to ISA 2004, which went very smoothly. The only problem was that after the upgrade to ISA 2004 was complete, none of their workstations could...
Susan has already blogged about this - but I wanted to make a point of mentioning it as well. In just about a month, I'll be in sunny southern California for the first ever SMB Technology Network Summer Conference! I'm still preparing for it, but I think...
So I get an email this afternoon from Mitch regarding a problem he's been fighting: “I have a HP laserjet setup on the network. It is using a castele print server. It has an IP address and all the workstations have no problem printing to it. Added...
Ok - I've gotten this question enough that it is definitely time to blog it: On SBS 2003, you grant your users specifc permissions within your companyweb site (let's say with Reader level access) - but you find that those users can still do anything they...
Ok - so recently I've been asked several times about using Sharepoint Services as an extranet to securely exchange documents with customers and business partners. The short answer is that this is very possible with Windows Sharepoint Services. However...
The webcast I presented earlier this week was recorded and is now available for on-demand playback. Hopefully the audio came through OK . . . :^) Microsoft Partner Readiness: http://www.msreadiness.com/recordedeventregister.asp?eid=1692
