Evaluation Keys for SharePoint Server 2010, Search Server and Project Server

Looking through the SPModule Powershell Script, I found an interesting comment in the script: Write-Verbose “You didn’t provide a PID Key, looks like I’ll have to give you a trial key.” switch ($PhysicalSKU) { “OfficeServer” { $CurrentConfigXml.Configuration.PIDKEY.Value = “BR68M-F6WK6-W6BVB-GXQGB-W67BG” ; Write-Verbose “Using a SharePoint Standard Trial PID Key. You can upgrade to Enterprise trial from Central Admin if you want to.”; break} “ProjectServer” { $CurrentConfigXml.Configuration.PIDKEY.Value = “9B4JM-6R6F8-2CMGW-T3T7W-6TYJW” ; Write-Verbose “Using a Project Server Trial PID Key.

Warning: Vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Could Allow Elevation of Privilege

If you are running your own SharePoint infrastructure, you should take a look at a Security Advisory: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/983438.mspx Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a possible vulnerability in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

SiteDirectory for SharePoint 2010

SP 2010 does not bring a SiteDirectory template. Microsoft Consulting Services UK have released a CodePlex version of a SiteDirectory for SharePoint 2010: http://spsitedirectory2010.codeplex.com/ What is the Purpose of the Site Directory for SharePoint 2010? SharePoint 2007 used to have a type of Site Called Site Directory which provided a directory of all sites that had been created. In SharePoint 2010, this feature has been dropped. This solution has been developed to fill the gap in SharePoint 2010.

Do not install Office 2010 x64

Now you will think “Why not?”. Some time ago I read a blog post which said “If you are asking yourself if you want to install Office 2010 as 64bit version, you should install the x86 version”. Why that? The reason is, that if you are asking yourself you worry about incompatibility with over software. And you are right! If you install x64, all add-ins you use have to be x64 as well.

Working with large lists in SharePoint 2010

What is a large list? What might be the problem if I store 1 million documents in a document library? Is there an improvement from WSS 3 to SharePoint Foundation? If you want answers to the questions, take a look at a great post at the “Microsoft Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Team Blog”. A summary to the problem: Any time you ask for content from SharePoint, you have to specify how it’s sorted – for example, the All Documents view in SharePoint 2007 asks for the top 100 results, sorted by filename.
