Recently I noticed on a situation where the sync jobs were failing on a MOSS implementation. Everything else was working great except for the features that surface the "Sites that you are a member of" and "My SharePoint Sites" in office. Looking into the ULS logs I found: OWSTIMER.EXE (0x07E8) 0x040C SharePoint Portal Server User…
One of my favorite stories from the 2008 SharePoint Conference happened during Dustin’s presentation "SharePoint Designer: I didn’t know you could do THAT!".

Mike Fitzmaurice has long been a technical evangelist for SharePoint in his official capacity as Technical Product Manager. If you ever had a chance to attend any of the…
