This past week a new whitepaper was released on how to deal with upgrades of customizations. I was part of this paper from birth so it is kind of cool to see it make it to MSDN. Anyway, another nice resource for dealing with upgrades. Part 1 - http:/...
I just got my box full of copies. Too exciting. For those of you not in the know 16 of your favorite SharePoint MVPS got together to do a book all about real world experiences with MOSS. Each one of us wrote our own chapter completely from our point of...
I have gotten the same email from several people and the fix has been the same just about every time so I thought I would publish the conversation here. Hopefully some searching of the web will help save a couple of email stamps. ;) Mr. Pugglesworth:...
Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to speak at a few different events and conferences. Cincinnati and New York user groups, SharePoint Advisor, and the SharePoint Information Worker Conference are the ones I can think of. As a consultant...
I was catching up on my blog reading today and saw Joel's great article on Your Friend Prescan.exe - How to Get it & What it Does - Part 2 and reminded how annoying it is trying to get your hands on prescan.exe. So what the heck. You can now download...
If you would like a copy of these instructions that are printable you can download the PDF version of Upgrading from SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007 using the gradual approach . These are essential the same steps I uploaded back in the beta phase. Just updated...

If you have upgraded your SharePoint Portal Server 2003 environment to MOSS 2007 you may have found a nuisance. Whenever you are in a publishing site (which replaced areas from 2003) and you click site actions > create site your only choice is Publishing...
As you start to explore Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 you are going to find lots of new features and ways of doing things. One that has caused a bit of stir in the upgrading classes I have taught (to roughly 60 people already WOW!) is the fact...
Me too. :) Of course I am guessing I will get to do it a few hundred times where as hopefully for most of you it will only be once or twice. I am not keeping track but I believe I have done about 50 upgrades in my test environments just trying to learn...
So you tried to run MOSS 2007 beta 2 install and do an upgrade but you got an error. The error said something like: Failed to initialize SharePoint Products and Technologies upgrade. An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException...
