Point2Share has moved permanently, and there is a very, very good reason.

Yesterday was the first day of the rest of my life

And of course this is it's new home, without adjusting your feedreaders you will not hear from me again.
See you soon.

The End.

A mate of mine has been putting a lot of effort into his blog of late, and it’s worth following:

Robin's Sharepoint Blog

https://glorix.blogspot.com/2007/04/wsssps2003-user-permissions-webpart.html

While he has recently been pretty focused on MOSS, today he posted an article that covers off a pretty common customer request, that is, enumerating user’s permissions. The post includes all his code and a promise to provide the solution at a later date (we will not forget).

Repost from: “Upping the Grade” or Upgrading to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) - Blog

Recently I was lucky enough to be one of the presenters at a Microsoft EMEA training offsite, however, I was unlucky enough to get the "Upgrade" session. Why unlucky? Well, because "Upgrading" doesn't really fit into the "cool" category of things to play around with when you are gifted with a new product release.

Caught this on Channel 9 today:

Office SharePoint Server at Microsoft: 12TB and counting

https://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=291986

I have of course been an “End User” on the Microsoft environment and have to say that overall they have done a great job. It’s worth checking out....

The final question is of course, is this really the biggest implementation? See anything bigger?

I received a comment earlier this week regarding an issue a reader had found with the new Point2Share site. It's something that I had been meaning to sort out, but which I had forgotten because I had "fixed" it on my machine. I think this screen shot describes it best:

The yellow status bar may already be familiar to a number of you. So what's it's all about then?

Well, from what I can gather, "Name.dll" is used to integrate presence information into SharePoint from your IM client. This is of course really useful functionality, particularly inside the corporate firewall, however, on an external facing site like this one its usefulness is a little limited.

Arno Nel (2.0) quietly made mention of the fact that the SharePoint Community Kit: User Group Edition has hit RC1.

What is it? Well the site describes it as follows:

The Community Kit for SharePoint is a set of best practices, templates, Web Parts, tools, and source code that enables practically anyone to create a community website based on SharePoint technology for practically any group of people with a common interest

It comes in the form of an STP file which can be downloaded from Codeplex: https://www.codeplex.com/CKS/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx

I'm going to be talking more and more about SharePoint and communities because for me, building them out is the most exciting scenario mapping onto MOSS today.

In the mean time I'm going to do some downloading and test driving.

Typical, the minute I leave Premier Field Engineering, is the minute we decide to release the tool that would have transformed my life!

Download details: 2007 Office System Tool: Microsoft Best Practices Analyzer for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and the 2007 Microsoft Office System

https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cb944b27-9d6b-4a1f-b3e1-778efda07df8&displaylang=en

But seriously, this is a really big break through:

“The Microsoft Best Practices Analyzer for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and the 2007 Microsoft Office System creates detailed reports to help administrators achieve greater performance, scalability, and uptime.

The Microsoft Best Practices Analyzer for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and the 2007 Microsoft Office System Best Practices Analyzer programmatically collects settings and values from data repositories such as MS SQL, registry, metabase and performance monitor. Once collected, a set of comprehensive ‘best practice’ rules are applied to the topology.

Administrators running this tool will get a detailed report listing the recommendations that can be made to the environment to achieve greater performance, scalability and uptime.”

I’m looking forward to taking this for a test drive, and if you are running a SharePoint 2007 based site, you should be too!

I hope this is just the beginning.

I'm running MOSS here at home, I've fired up MOSS 2007, and I've created the new Point2Share. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that my server can hold up, lets face it besides my mother I only have a handful of you readers!

So lets see how we go, I will be considering the first month or so "Beta" and cross posting.

My new blog is here: https://www.point2share.com/blog

My new RSS feed is here: https://www.point2share.com/Blog/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List={077BF88E-F810-4F7F-A493-DA440E78DF3C}

Anyway folks, look forward to seeing you over there!
