Where did Fox go
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 1/12/2010 3:48 PM

Hi Folks, to answer the question in the title of this post...nowhere really…still hammering away at SharePoint and continuing to drive community efforts.

Back in November I did make a job change and left my buddies at B&R Business Solutions for a new position at CDW ( A Leading Microsoft Reseller with a strong Services offering) as a Senior Microsoft Consultant in their Microsoft Information Workers Practice. It was a great move for me and exposed me to new types of work such as doing a lot of Pre-Sales demos for SharePoint 2010 which as I predicted would start to wake companies up once the public beta was released. I also still do a lot of MOSS 2007 work but you know how it is… new product comes out and one becomes enamored with it making it hard to go back to working with the previous versions. I wince when asked to help with a SharePoint 2003 environment and am finding the same reaction when looking at 2007.

Speaking

At present I am doing some talks on the right way to set up a virtual lab (VMware or HyperV) so that those that are interested in testing the product can get a nice foothold on how this is accomplished. This talk is a lead up to SharePoint Evolutions, which will be held in London, UK in April 2010. Virtual environments are becoming the norm for many companies that wish to consolidate and make better use of their hardware. Though a bit slow to catch on with SharePoint I now find myself discussing this with customers quite often.

To ramp up for the Evolutions Conference I am doing some talks so that those who won't be flying over to London can get some of this information. I will be presenting on this in NYC at the upcoming SharePoint Saturday NYC and I am also hoping to present at SharePoint Saturday Boston in February. If you run a User Group in my vicinity and would like to have me speak feel free to ping me.

Other Community Efforts and News

So most of you who know me understand that I am one of the original founders of the ISPA (International SharePoint Professionals Association). Some may be thinking….where did you guys go? I will openly admit that the actual portal site got stagnant and it takes a lot of effort to keep something like this afloat. For me it has always been about more than the site. What is not visible is the behind the scenes work that goes on with this organization. User Groups have always been an effort that I have had interest in forming and growing. The Board members of the ISPA have always supported this and continue to do so today so even if you're not seeing any activity on the actual site...it doesn't mean that were not still 100% in tune with the community and helping it to grow.

We recently had a organization change and thought we did not change up any of the Board members we did elect two new folks to the Org. Eric Shupps (MVP) is now the President of the ISPA, Spence Harbar (MVP, MCM) is now the VP (or Deputy Prime Minister depending on what side of the Pond you are on) and Dave Mann (MVP) is now our Secretary. This change was made to bring some additional leadership to the group and I will be able to focus on some other efforts. Our members have also been busy with some additional offerings such as Natalya Voskresenskaya kicking off a new User Group that focuses on Enterprise Search and her passion FAST Search.

As far as the actual ISPA Portal is concerned we are going to try and be a bit more community friendly and give people the opportunity to work with us and different projects. We are also looking to launch this new portal on SharePoint 2010 J I have enlisted the help of Susan Henry to help with the rebranding of this so we will be on a new platform with a new look. But there has to be more. We will be seeking folks to work with us to keep the sites alive. We found out that 4 or 5 people simply can't do this and make people want to come back.

In closing I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year and I look forward to seeing everyone in the months to come. If you're ever in Jersey….. J Send out a YO!

Cheers

Oh and there are some bugs with my blog seeing it is on 2010… most notably J If you choose to leave a comment it has an issue with approval so just drop me a email J bfox11b@verizon.net

Office Activation Issue/Workaround
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 1/4/2010 1:05 AM

I have been having issues since I tried to activate my copy of Office 2010 using KMS or MAK.  I noticed this evening that my copy was going to go belly up in 5 days so I found a method via script to overcome this.

   

If your having a similar problem (product will not allow you to enter a LIC key) do the following:

   

Open a command prompt with elevated privs (administrator) and navigate to Program Files\Microosft Office\Office 14

   

run cscript ospp.vbs -dstatus  <then hit enter>

Processing will take about 10 seconds and you will be given the list of your products and it will show them all unlicensed.

   

Go to Connect.microsoft.com and get the MAK key from the downloads section and run the following script

   

cscript ospp.vbs -inpkey:<enter the MAK Key>  Hit enter

   

Should run successfully...close down any office apps and when you open it will ask you to run activation... it already has the key so your activation should succeed.

   

Hope this helps

Scrolling Issue on 2010 Blog Site and my Whereabouts :)
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 1/3/2010 11:53 AM

Since migrating my site from 2007 to 2010 I have received a few inquiries as to shy the vertical scrolling bar seems to just disappear. This is obviously a bug but where does it stem? Still undecided.

While viewing the blog page in IE8 you will notice that you can see the direct page but cant move downwards or upwards. A simple way around this is by reducing the size of the page from anything but Full Screen view and presto the vert scrolling appears. Resizing to Full Screen will show the vertical scrolling as well at this point but after a few min or a F5 you will lose it again.

I decided to test this before dismissing SP2010 as having the problem by loading up the page on FireFox where the problem would not manifest. Further testing to dismiss the single blog template from being an issue, I created a simple site and started adding visio diagrams, CEWPs (holding gibberish) Doc Libraries… anything I could use to fill up the page and cause one to scroll. Problem would not manifest in either FireFox or IE8.

So is it the page template? Or is it the browser. Having experienced numerous IE crashes through the years I would be more than happy to point a finger at this being the problem but in light of my second test there could be more behind the scenes happening.

In either cast the Product team is aware of this and to be honest its pretty simple (yet annoying at times) to overcome the issue. Thanks to all those that informed me of this problem J

YO BOB…. Where the hell did you go?

Oh and happy new year folks…. I have been largely inactive lately due to starting a new job at CDW as a Senior Microsoft Consultant in their Services Group…. Excellent company.. excellent folks working within it. I will be doing some more writing and screencasts in the next few months. Been under the hood for a while with the product so I gots me some good info to start spreading out.

For those on the other side of the pond.. im coming to see you lads very soon. April to be exact….London will be the location, SharePoint Evolutions 2010 will be the event. I will be presenting on Virtualization and will also host the ITPro ATE Sessions.

 

Cheers folks

Content Content Everywhere with SharePoint 2010
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 10/29/2009 9:37 AM

With the lifting of the NDA surrounding SharePoint 2010, content is pouring out of the cracks and information about this product in my eyes far overshadows the early information that we (MVP’s and MSFT) were pushing out in previous versions.  The product is HOT!! 

One place to always start looking is the SharePoint Product Team site.   Last week they launched a few new sites and sections in TechNet.   Here is a list of those sites

http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/10/19/sharepoint-2010-resources.aspx

- SharePoint 2010 Website - to view SharePoint 2010 in action

- SharePoint 2010 forum- for SharePoint 2010 questions

- SharePoint 2010 PressPass- for the SPC 2009 keynote video, a Q&A with Jeff Teper, and more

- SharePoint 2010 Developer Center - for developer info

- http://www.mssharepointitpro.com - for IT Pro info

- http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint - for more SharePoint information

 

Also keep and eye on the MVP blogs along with Partner postings….  Soak this up folks

 

Cheers

SharePoint 2010 Central Admin.. Where is everything :)
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 10/19/2009 12:49 AM

Microsoft did a major overhaul on the SharePoint Central Administration site.  If you were working with MOSS 2007 you had 3 different pages to sort through.  Now we have it condensed onto a single page layout which really makes it a lot easier to find what your looking for as everything is laid out in a proper manner.

Lets take a look at the main page:

CA2010_1

As you can see in the above screenshot we have a one shot view of our Central Admin.   Notice how everything is bucketed properly now to make things easy to find.  In the next shots I will  expand on each section. 

 

Application Management

AppManagement1

So most of you will be familiar with this area.  This was a separate page in the previous or is it current version :)  

Want another way to get back to the main page? 

AppManagement2

Notice the Nav button im pointing at… what's cool here is that no matter how deep you go into this…. for instance i go into Web Applications / Manage Web Applications… that navigation will build making it easier to get back to the section I want.

 

System Settings

SysSettings

Again this is where you will manage your servers, services, features etc.  on the Farm

 

Monitoring

 

Monitoring

 

Monitoring was also a area that took a major overhaul.  In a follow-up post I will detail some of these areas but i can tell you this is a HUGE improvement.

 

Backup and Restore

B&r

I confess I have not had alot of time to test this area but I can tell you the one thing that is missing if you want to use this interface and arent interested in proper tools such as or is the scheduling ability.  Still not there :(

 

Security

Security

Again all the things you would expect to see and not enough room in this already long post to discuss this in detail.  More to come  :)

 

Upgrade and Migration

So… this screen which im not even posting is not that interesting except for one key little blurb “Manage Patch Status”  It is what you think it is…. it is a dump of your farms patch status which does deserve a small screenshot (well done guys on this one)

patch

 

General Application Settings

GeneralApp

Again more to come on this area as it needs further exploring.

 

Farm Configuration Wizard

Just what it sounds like… you can set up the Farm services yourself or let the Wizard configure it all for you (nice but if you do this I may lose respect for you as an Admin :))   It is great for testing though.

 config

 

Well that was a brief tour through the new Central Admin.  THis was a very light look and many of these areas need a much deeper investigation which will be happening in future posts by myself and others.

Enjoy.. I am :)

SharePoint 2010 Developer Dashboard
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 10/19/2009 12:48 AM

What?  Bob mentioning something about Development?  Relax, I haven't switched teams and wont be but this is a pretty cool feature i found and have been using.  To be honest this will come in a lot more handy once we get to RTM and we are looking at performance (its not something we look at in this early stage of the Beta Testing). 

So what is this and how do we work with it.   This tool reminds me alot of what put out through with a tool called Sonar.  This tool is now being sold through and knowing Shupps and using this product in the past I can tell you its solid.  But it appears Microsoft incorporated something similar in 2010.  This is a tool that will give you

  • A breakdown of the request/response cycle with timings for each operation.
  • A breakdown of the response times for each database query that the rendering process triggers.
  • A breakdown of the load times for each Web Part on the page.

There are two methods to initialize this tool to work on your sites.  You can do this with your handy old stsadm.exe or with PowerShell.

Stsadm.exe (either set your path statement to read in the Bin Directory or navigate to c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\14\bin)

enter the following command

stsadm –o setproperty –pn developer-dashboard –pv OnDemand

In PowerShell

(Get-SPFarm).PerformanceMonitor.DeveloperDashboardLevel = "OnDemand"

The results will show you the following little icon on the top right corner of your page

devDb1

Clicking on the icon circled with either display or hide the results.  Scrolling down your page you will see the following results:

devdb2

 

Just one of the many new cool feature addins to help us lowly admins do our jobs (which usually is to slap around Devs that make our job harder… this tool could help :)   )

 

Cheers… Much more to come

Holy PowerShell SharePoint Boy….
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 10/19/2009 12:00 AM

 

Did you know you can do pretty much everything in 2010 in PowerShell?   In fact there are certain things that you can only do in PowerShell…  I have been preaching to folks for a while now that PowerShell is the new dude in town and someone you need to meet up with and get to know… don't believe me?  Have a look at the investment Microsoft put into PowerShell for SharePoint 2010.

Curious as to how to run these?   Simple… open the new SharePoint 2010 Management Console (PowerShell)

Startup

and enter a command to get help for one of the commands such as get-spsite

get-help get-spsite

One key thing I want to bring out here is that in the past (This Current Version MOSS 2007) in order to do a lot of what these scripts do we would have to instantiate the SP Object Model to invoke the ability to call areas of the application that in the past were only available via a developed solution.  

Take the time now and if your not familiar with PowerShell…. GET FAMILIAR WITH IT.  Its morphing and SharePoint 2010 has been assimilated :)   (wow that sounded awful Typical IT Dude like huh)

Enjoy folks.

SPC 2009 and Bob
by  Bob FoxNo presence information  on 10/13/2009 3:30 PM
Category: Community

The date is approaching and many of us are looking forward to this not just for the content at the conference itself but because the NDA restrictions will be lifted and we can start to openly discuss SharePoint 2010 with the public. 

For those attending that are SharePoint User Group leaders or looking to start up a User Group I will be hosting a session on Thursday at 9AM in the Lagoon area of the conference center.   No… this isn't some fountain dive and I have no idea where this area is but its what they told me so Lagoon it is.

This will be a joint Microsoft / event with the bulk of the panelists being seasoned UG Leaders and ISPA Evangelists.  Among those standing with me are:

Nick Swan (UK)

Mirjam Van Olst ( Holland)

Mo Omar ( Jordan )

Amanda Perrin (Canada)

Steve Soifen ( APAC)

Olivia Shone (Microsoft Community Lead)

We will be discussing the role of the in User Groups and how we are helping to foster groups and get them started. We will also use this as an opportunity for the Leads from around the world to voice there opinions and provide feedback to all on what they are having problems with and what they have been successful at accomplishing.  Hopefully all will walk away with some added knowledge to take back to their groups.

I will also be working the HOL area at various times during the week so if you want to come by and test out the labs I would love to meet up with you. 

See ya’ll next week.
