Service Pack 2 was released today (as I am guessing the whole world knows by now). Instead of making that profound announcement I would recommend you check out this post on the SharePoint Team blog for the official announcement. I will spare you the crazy...
Had a client today (last week now) who broke search all the way. And in their attempts to straighten it out they changed some pieces that weren't broken. Then while they were in the process of trying to put it all back together I called and said let...
Whoops... because i am a big dummy I screwed up this post. Sorry, hope you weren't using it. :) Install SharePoint SP2 now instead. Sorry Shane SharePoint Consulting
Had this one pop up for a second time today so thought I would blog it this time. Client created a public website for baseball signups. It was a simply publishing portal with anonymous enabled. He then created an InfoPath form and set it up to generate...
I had a client a couple weeks ago who upgraded from SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007 using the database attach method. This means the MOSS farm was built on new hardware which we chose Windows Server 2008 for. This was a very challenging upgrade for several reasons...
Just click on the pretty link of me. You do have to register to see the webcast. The description is: At a recent SharePoint conference, Bill Gates claimed that "SharePoint is the fastest-growing server product Microsoft has ever had." What about...
One of my clients this week managed to take his entire farm offline this week by upsetting the timer service. First a little background – currently they are scrambling to get SharePoint back to a happy state. Why? Well, as happens with lots of customers...
I noticed the error message below repeatedly in event viewer and realized it was happening every time a profile import was happening. Event Type: Error Event Source: Office SharePoint Server Event Category: Office Server General Event ID: 7888 Date: 6...
Updated 7/27/08 - I realized the pictures didn't show up the first time. Have you ever used the feature Storage space allocation from the site collection administrator's menu? That is a pretty nice view of all of the document libraries in my site...
In the TechNet forums there is a thread that got off topic and somehow came to this question. "What makes a good SharePoint consultant?" Since I felt the answer to the question and the tone of the conversation were so off base I started to write...
This came up in class today and one my students Eric knew the answer off the top of his head. It was so simple I thought I would share. Stsadm –o setadminport –port 5555 This command will change SharePoint Central Administration v3 to run on port 5555...
Service Pack 1 for SharePoint is here. The SharePoint Team blog has a great full length article on all of fixes and tweaks. You can read it here Announcing the Release of WSS 3.0 SP1 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1 . This post is just meant to give...
If someone asked you where My Links were stored what you say? First guess? They are part of My Sites right? I mean that is where you go to manage them and such. Nope. They are actually stored in your profile. The reason I found out? A couple of my customers...
Seriously, you should install the updates before you have to set those clocks back an hour. Heck, if I am having to remind you this then I should also remind you to check the batteries in your smoke detectors. J This is a security update! Yes, I know...
If you are keeping with best practices and doing any type of install where security is important (shouldn't it always be) then you have probably done a least privileged install. Probably using these instructions Least-privilege administration requirements...
This can be slightly more daunting and confusing to a SharePoint rookie than it should be. So I thought I would drill through the process and see if I can help someone out. The story usually goes something like this. You are the IT guy. You got a request...
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about a bit of overview. In MOSS 2007 there is this new concept of Shared Services Providers(SSP). The idea being that there are certain services that really make sense to centrally manage and share...
