  • Netcast 118 - Stinking Patches

    Body: Like last week, this week's netcast is bursting at the seams with SharePoint goodness. I cover a Kerberos "gotcha" that got me last week. Then I talk about why you should slipstream your own installs instead of being a lazy bum and using the SP1 installer on MSDN. I talk about why you shouldn't use SQL authentication between SharePoint and SQL. I debut my @SP2010Patches Twitter account where I'll tweet out when new SharePoint 2010 patches are released, and when regressions pop up. I talk about some basic email troubleshooting and the dessert of the netcast is an update on my self-publish, self-promoted, self-aggrandizing ebook. Oh, and I talk about best practices.

  • Netcast 117 - No SQL for old SharePoint

    Body: Tonight's netcast is chock full of meaty SharePointy goodness. I talk about a tool that can be used to migrate SQL Server Reporting Services. I also tell everyone about the April CU and remind folks to be careful. I break the news to SharePoint 2007 admins about SQL 2012 support, or lack thereof. Plus even more good SharePoint information.

  • Netcast 116 - Lots of History

    Body: Tonight's netcast was a long one. After taking last week off I had a lot to cover this week. I started off by telling everyone about the new, and even longer Kerberos white paper. Then, for something completely different, I talk about the improvements a CU made to the User Profile Service. I also talk about a bug I encountered with FAST server and how I fixed it. I talk about a weird service application issue and I encountered. Don't worry, I beat it. Then I cover a couple of migration issues I came across. This one has a lot of great information in it. You might have to listen to it twice to get everything out of it.

  • Netcast 115 - So Slow

    Body: In tonight's netcast I talk more about the SQL 2012 version of SSRS. Then I talk about a new white paper that describes how to use SQL 2012's AlwaysOn technology with SharePoint 2010. I also give my take on the new SharePoint Browser compatibility document that was recently released. Finally I tie it all up with some great little PowerShell nuggets I've found in the last week.

  • Netcast 114 - It's Always Permissions

    Body: The good news is that tonight's netcast is almost all other people's content! That means it's probably better information than most of my netcasts. I cover a bug Keith Richie found with the blob cache. I also talk about why we should all get cozy with host named site collections. Kirk Evans convinced me. I also talk about another snag I ran into with the User Profile Service and how I fixed it.

  • Installing SSRS 2012 without upgrading your database server

    Body: SQL 2012 RTMed last month (March 2012) with much fanfare. For us SharePoint types, SQL is a big deal, as SQL is the backbone of SharePoint. SQL 2012 has a few new or updated features that are of interest to SharePoint aficionados, but this blog post is specifically about SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). SSRS got a major overhaul in SQL 2012. It is finally a SharePoint service application. Anyone that has installed SSRS previous to SQL 2012 can appreciate how big of a deal that is. SSRS 2012 is better than SSRS 2008 R2 in a whole lot more ways , but as an IT Pro, the installation and management improvements take the cake. But what if you already have SharePoint 2010 in place, and it’s running on a SQL 2008 R2 database backend? Do you get to enjoy all the gloriousness that is SSRS 2012 without upgrading your entire SQL instance to 2012? Of course you can, or else this would be a very, very short blog post. This blog post will walk you through installing the SQL 2012 version of...
  • Netcast 113 - Generic Error

    Body: In tonight's episode I talk about my install guidance blog post, and why it stinks. I cover what a CRL is, and why it might be slowing down your SharePoint farm. Then I cover yet another fun and exciting User Profile Service bugaboo.

  • Netcast 112 - Blog Down!

    Body: In tonight's netcast I talk about the comedic series of events that lead to my blog going down last week. Then I talk about the lessons I learned and what I've done to make sure it doesn't happen again. Robert Scoble interviewed Shane and I a couple of weeks ago and I talk about that. I also mention a Windows patch you really should apply to your Internet facing SharePoint servers.

  • SharePoint 2010 Install Guidance

    Body: In the last week I’ve been asked for this information a few times, so I decided to go ahead and blog it. I’ve been hesitant to put out an official blog post on this, because I don’t think it’s ready for prime time. But, it keeps coming up, so here it is, the steps I follow when I install SharePoint 2010. Before we get into the actual steps, let me tell you about a couple of caveats. First, this list is NOT comprehensive. There are a lot of pieces that aren’t in this list. I started this list to keep me from forgetting steps, or from doing steps out of order. Steps that I don’t normally forget, or don’t benefit from being done in a specific order, aren’t on the list. It doesn’t mean they aren’t necessary, they just aren’t on this guy’s list. Second, I link to a lot of PowerShell in these steps. PLEASE, PLEASE look over every single script before you run it on your server. There are some bad scripts in there. Some have passwords and app pools hard coded in them. Really, really bad ideas...
