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...
Got this email earlier this week. Shane, I am using the Microsoft Site Undelete tool (download from here ) you recommended. I had user delete his site accidently and I am trying to restore it. It was successfully backed up by the tool to a file called...
Alisa, one of my students from SharePoint Administrator Survival Camp in Vegas sent this picture over on Facebook. After a scary day of talking about the evil technology Chuck, another student, found this dog and bought it for me. (Thanks man!) It was...
I was adding a new web front end (WFE) server to a farm last week and ran into this error while running config wizard. Task configdb has failed with an unknown exception 07/21/2008 14:18:39 8 ERR Exception: System.IO.IOException: The device is not ready...

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...

Even after I put in a good MOSS Enterprise key, did and iisreset, and rebooted. UGH. Why? Well, it turns out as a final reminder this server once was setup as a basic install, my Central Admin app pool was running as Network Service instead of my farm...
Ok kids. First time ever I am pimping my class for cheap through my blog. Come hang out with me next week in Reston and you can either get a 25% discount or buy one full price seat and get a second one free. You know you have always wanted to spend a...
Once again it is midnight on a Sunday evening and I find myself working. Oh the joys. :) Anyway, a quick post for you. SharePoint911 got a new client this week and like many of them they had someone in to do SharePoint before us. And I am the lucky guy...
