When I am actually in town, I have the pleasure of attending a SharePoint user group for the metro Atlanta area. The Atlanta SharePoint User Group is an independent user group for SP admins and developers. We meet every 3rd Monday at 6:30 pm ET the two supported migration techniques and decided to start fresh with a new SharePoint 2010 farm on new hardware and/or VMs and use the database attach method… using the new SharePoint 2010 Mount-SPContentDatabase PowerShell [...]

Deleting orphaned service (web) application pools in SharePoint 2010

Mike Stevens — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:23:16 +0000

Yesterday I threw together a simple interactive image element using the jQueryUI library. I wanted to display info dialog/modal windows when [...]

Mike Stevens — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:10:54 +0000

A colleague asked last week if anyone on the team had a definitive list of the out of the box usage reports for MOSS 2007. I could recall a lot of them from memory, but did not have a complete list. After a little fishing, I found this list on TechNet:

I have been really digging into cloud/virtualization lately and ran across an Information Week article I found helpful (pointed out by @mvisser). In particular, I found the table comparing the options out there. Here is a link to the original article. GoGrid also has posted the [...]
