I've been very short of time and not really been able to promote this site, get more members in and give it the kick start it needs. All the people involved in the site seem really very busy unfortunately. That's because we're right at the critical point of a large 150,000 seat SharePoint deployment whilst as I've said trying to prop up the current poorly specified environment.
Anyhow hope for a kick start shortly and as always if you're a SharePoint techie and want to get in on the action...

As I've said before we have a SharePoint 2003 and SharePoint 2007 installation on the same infrastructure. Normally most Microsoft people gulp at this point and shuffle away. We had a Microsoft field engineer in to do a Risk Assessment Report for us earlier in the year and he said that if he'd have known he wouldn't have turned up!

Anyway because of this, too many web apps and too poorly specified infrastructure our farm really struggles. Web apps blow up and we generally have...

At the moment I have an interesting scenario with my day job..... the team are working flat out to implement a new SharePoint farm, labelled as a "Collaboration" service.

Don't you just hate the C word. What does it mean anyway? About 10 different things to 10 different people!

Anyway we have an arbitrary delivery date.... don't we all? We're not going to get all that we need to manage the service properly in for day 1. Of course the project promise a second phase...

Not a great week this week for our SharePoint implementation.
We have what's classed as a medium farm I think. 3 web front ends, 1 index server and two database servers, plus a load balancer thrown in.
They are woefully underspecified and we spend most of our time fire fighting service issues.
We also mix SharePoint 2003 and SharePoint 2007 on the same farm just for good measure.

After one of the web apps was crashing we did some research and turned up MSIE Spider...

Well I guess I should be the first to use the blogging facility.

I've been blogging for a year or two now sporadically and in a technical nature generally or on management stuff. I blog internally at work, but I'm intrigued to wonder if I should start to blog externally.

The advantage of internal is that I have an easy captive audience and blogging in SharePoint allows people to add alerts so that they get any new posts regardless of how often I post.

Mind...
