Microsoft SharePoint 2010 beta download
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 - features, system requirements
Microsoft will ship the new SharePoint 2010 along with Office 2010 in the first half of next year (Beta - late 2009).
There has been a few questions about the name of SharePoint 2010.
Basically, we presently have three SharePoint server versions:
1. Windows SharePoint Services
2. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard
3. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise
From now onwards it will be just Microsoft SharePoint 2010 (without the “office”).
MOSS 2007 SharePoint Reporting
There are a few ways to get SharePoint usage reports (out of the box MOSS 2007 features):
- Site administrators, including administrators of the SSP administration site, can view usage reporting for their site by clicking Site usage reports in the Site Administration section of the Site Settings page.
- Site collection administrators can view usage reporting by clicking Site collection usage reports in the Site Collection Administration section of the Site Settings page.
- Site collection administrators for the SSP administration site can view a usage summary by clicking Usage summary in the Site Collection Administration section of the Site Settings page.
- SSP administrators for search can view search usage reports by clicking Search usage reports in the Search section of the SSP home page.
MOSS 2007 SP2 error which requires Windows SharePoint services 3.0 Service Pack 2 to be installed
When trying to install MOSS 2007 SP2, you receive this error:
Windows SharePoint services 3.0 Service Pack 2 is not installed. Microsoft strongly recommends that you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 before installing this update. Do you want to go to the Microsoft Download Center, where you can download Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2?
SharePoint MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0 - SP2 issues & fixes
The long awaited Service Pack 2 for SharePoint - MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 is out! There is much talk about installing it to fix certain security and performance issues.
But wait! Do you have an environment to test the installation? Have you read the known issues of SP2?
SharePoint slow start - warm up script
Imagine accounting for the time spent waiting for SharePoint to start up in the morning or after a server reboot or an iisreset?
It takes such a long time to load, but after it has loaded, then SharePoint behaves normally. The cause for this is when your Application pool is recycled in IIS. By default it recycles at 2:00AM daily.
The best way to ‘Warm Up’ SharePoint is to run some scripts that would fire up SharePoint in the wee hours of the morning. Read more on how to get this script..
Host headers for SharePoint / Rename Web Application
Change your existing host header in SharePoint ( WSS or MOSS 2007 )
Do you want to publish your SharePoint intranet or internet site to your users with a nice friendly url (or hostheader)?
This article can be also used if you want to rename your web application.
SharePoint installed without Active Directory
When installing SharePoint from the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, you may ask, ‘what do I do if I want to connect SharePoint using SQL authentication, rather than Microsoft’s Active Directory?’
You may want to connect SharePoint to its configuration database using a locked down SQL user account to isolate your front end website from Active Directory.
Using the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, it may appear to be impossible to get past the DOMAIN\User_Name as required in the wizard.
Thank you!
