I am upgrading my Silverlight demo code from the old beta to beta 2 and see that there are a few new considerations for the deployment of ClientAccessPolicy.xml files. In a previous post I demonstrated how to do this for SharePoint 2007. The heartburn that I get with that approach is any site collection owner…
I ran into an issue recently on a 64-bit Server 2008 R2 machine running on VMware. The problem started after trying to do a Multicast Windows Network Load Balancing setup. The system would constantly hang or would freeze after making ANY network changes. I found Aaron Saikovski’s blog and the steps that he outlined seemed…
Parked this one aside back in September, and just realized that it never went out. Here’s a flashback to what I was thinking just a month or two ago: Watching the Ignite presentation today on the migration path from 2007 to 2010, it just confirmed that if you’re planning a 2007 deployment right now, you…
I want to thank the folks who attended my session in San Antonio. I had a great time and think the session is getting better every time I do it. I plan to release all the code after I update it for SharePoint 2010 Beta 2. In the mean time here is the PDF…
I have been SLAMMED lately (mostly traveling and speaking, but also taking time with my family) and not blogging enough, I get it, I hear you all loud and clear. I am going to try (starting this week) to publish little bites of new features and enhancements that I have not seen posted elsewhere. Since…

Kind of ironic, I know. The Web Scheduler is supposed to make our lives easier by providing an alternative to the Live Meeting Outlook plug-in. So when I reviewed it on 11/10/09, I did not expect it to prevent our external users from connecting to our on-premise Live Meeting Server. Here is the error message…
One of the best enhancements Microsoft made with SharePoint from 2003 to 2007 is the inclusion of Content Management Server as part of the suite. Microsoft also renovated search as part of MOSS as well. I had the pleasure of attending a search deep dive training session back in 07 and we went deep…
This is a quick tip for those of you using SharePoint Designer for your master page, page layout, JavaScript, XSL, and anything that’s advanced with SharePoint design. Pretty soon after using SharePoint Designer, you’ll notice some quirks. One quirk is that sometimes, when you try to use the "Insert" menu option, most of the options…
One of the best features of SharePoint and has been for a while has to be the DataView Web Part. This powerful web part allows the user to query for information and display in a whatever way that XSL will allow. I use this web part when it’s cousin, the Content Query Web Part…
