    Looks like we are starting to ramp up on the documentation!  In my feed of the Microsoft Download Center, I noticed that we just posted results of internal testing on SharePoint 2010 performance.  This should be very helpful for those who are looking for some reference test results as to how SharePoint 2010 works in different configurations and with different services enabled.

    These white papers describe the performance and capacity impact of specific feature sets included in SharePoint Server 2010. These white papers include information about the performance and capacity characteristics of the feature and how it was tested by Microsoft, including:

    • Test farm characteristics
    • Test results
    • Recommendations
    • Troubleshooting performance and scalability

    Download the white papers here

    White Papers include:

    • Access Services Capacity Planning
    • Designing Large Lists and Maximizing List Performance
    • Divisional Portal Capacity Planning
    • InfoPath 2010 Capacity Planning
    • PerformancePoint Capacity Planning
    • Search for SharePoint Server 2010 Capacity Planning
    • Word Automation Services (WAS) Capacity Planning
    • Web Content Management (WCM) Capacity Planning

    And now for a random graph from one of the reports Smile

    Where are my site templates

    • 0 Comments

    Hello All-

    Every time I setup a new SharePoint 2010 portal, I hit the same problem when I go to create sub-sites…  I have no templates!  Where are my options for creating a Document Center, Search Center, Record Center, or Blog?

    missing_templates 

    Fortunately, the fix is very simple.  The other templates are just not enabled by default.  I suppose it helps reign in users from going buck-wild on a brand new portal, but annoying for a power user like me (that wants to go buck-wild).  Just click on Site Actions –> Site Settings, and then “Page layouts and site templates”.


    look_and_feel

    On the resulting screen, you can add additional templates to the right, or just click the radio button that says “Subsites can use any site template”

    all_templates

    Voila!  Now you can create sub-sites based off of any template you want.
