I’ve updated my tool to set the masterpage on SharePoint webs and subwebs to the same masterpage. http://www.hezser.de

With MOSS 2007 or SharePoint Server 2010 you can use the PoraltSiteMapProvider of the Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.dll assembly to retrieve cached listitems. <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum1> 1:</span> PortalSiteMapProvider ps = PortalSiteMapProvider.WebSiteMapProvider; <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum2> 2:</span> var pNode = ps.FindSiteMapNode(web.ServerRelativeUrl) as PortalWebSiteMapNode; <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum3> 3:</span> var query = new SPQuery <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum4> 4:</span> { <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum5> 5:</span> Query = "<Where><Neq><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>0</Value></Neq></Where>" <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum6> 6:</span> }; <span style="color:#606060" id=lnum7> 7:</span> SiteMapNodeCollection quoteItems = ps.

If your Report Server 2008 instance is configured as SharePoint integrated and you get an exception like this one, keep on reading. Additionally to the exception in the browser, the Eventlog revealed two more exception which are relevant to the SSRS exception. One was about the SSRS process, which quit unexpected, the other one from ASP.NET. “The SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s).

Today I installed a BCS solution to a SharePoint 2010 farm. I wanted to take the list offline. So I clicked on the SPW button in the ribbon. As expected, SharePoint Workspace popped open, and tried to get the list. But all I got was an message, that there was an error installing the list. The eventlog, of the client I was working on, revealed that there was an error installing the solution (And we need the solution, to get the data on our clients.

It seems, there is a major problem with the Server CU.

Today I stumbled across this KB article: “In SharePoint 2007 using Internet Explorer 8 and “Sign in as a different user” displays with old Session data. After 30 seconds the session object is completly refreshed and all data is correct.” Hmm. Right. I’ve noticed that. At least now I know that this is by design 🙂 Take a look at the suggested workarounds: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;2435214&sd=rss&spid=11373 Workaround 1: customize init.js file or overload the method of LoginAsAnother() with an addition line of code: document.

A while ago a customer had problems with his User Profile Service. Since the problems may exist on other SharePoint farms as well, I want to share the solutions I found. “Could not load user profile.” This exception occurs, if you click on a MySite link. To get rid of the problem, I had to associate the User Profile Service Application to the Webapplication, where the MySite-Host is running. The User Profile Import does not run

Every time I want to check for the latest updates for SharePoint, I search for a page where to find them. This post will help me – and you – to find this information quicker 🙂 The page has links to the latest Cumulative Updates for SharePoint Foundation and Server: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff800847.aspx The title of this post says Upgrade as well. If you are not looking for update information but upgrade infos, you’ll find them on the page as well.

An important update has been released from Microsoft. It addresses an issue with ASP.NET. You should install the update ASAP. This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in ASP.NET. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could read data, such as the view state, which was encrypted by the server. This vulnerability can also be used for data tampering, which, if successfully exploited, could be used to decrypt and tamper with the data encrypted by the server.

Did i mention the SharePoint Search is great? Indexing your fileservers, websites and public folder (see here how to index Exchange 2010 public folders: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806927.aspx) is easy to configure. You should look at the logs, though. Warning can give you a good hint where to look to solve indexing problems. I looked at the document, which could not be indexed. My Visio 2010 opened the document without complaining. The File Tab shows some information from the document.

Every SharePoint group has a setting to prevent users, who are not members of the group, to see who actually is a member. This setting works great when you use a browser to access the group. The setting can be configured on the property page of every SharePoint group. As you can see, you’ll get a message telling you that you may not see the members of that particular group.

Like many other blogs running SharePoint, my blog uses the EBE to add more functionality to the default SharePoint blog. And since I am one of the developers of the EBE 3.0, I’m glad that we announce the release of the next release.

Did you know that the latest SSRS have a build-in support for SharePoint lists as DataSource? So if you need arguments to update to SQL 2008 R2, this is one 🙂
