Dear 7 Readers, I hope you have been well. The second half of this year has been pretty busy, so I apologize for the lack of posts and comics. One obstacle that I have been needing to move past was migrating this blog off of a SharePoint server and over to TechNet. The migration is now complete! I...

Hi there 7 readers.  I’ve been relatively quite on Twitter, and non-existent on this blog for the last month.  My apologies, but I’ve been heads down on a project and  my life has been on hold other than it. Taking a vacation this week and some of next, so decided it was time to go ahead...

Dear 7 readers, What an exciting week!  SharePoint 2010 NDA has been lifted with the 2009 SharePoint Conference in full swing, and I’m releasing my new blog (I was going to have a poll on which was a bigger moment, but it seemed pointless, I’m obviously more important than 2010 info) I have been...

Oops, what happened to my license? Service Pack 2 for SharePoint Server 2007 will inadvertently activate the expiration date of your SharePoint implementation.  Everything will be ‘okay’, but your users won’t be able to access the SharePoint sites 180 days from the time of the Service Pack install...

--- update: updated post date of this post so those that attended SharePoint Saturday Charlotte can reference it --- I’m a big fan of SharePoint user groups.  You don’t always have to go to a conference/code camp/sharepoint saturday to attend some great sessions on SharePoint.  I’m also a fan...

Dear avid 7 readers – the last few weeks have been busy.   Here’s some updates for you on where I’m sharing the point… 1. Blog Article Series – Another article was published at EndUserSharePoint.com, and is now an official series.  What does this mean?  It means a lot more articles...

If you haven’t yet, I recommend checking out the Microsoft Office Live Workspace.  It really is a great solution for individual(s) who need to collaborate on documents (that are Microsoft centric).  Personally, it feels like a lite version of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), but more in-line...

Last evening I drove to Asheville, NC to present at a SharePoint User Group meeting.  It’s about 2.5 hours from Charlotte (where I’m located).  On my way back to Charlotte I was heading down a mountain road enjoying the curvy road in my Mazda.  Well, I got pulled over by a State Trooper...

Quick update for my 7 readers: Article I wrote an article, Discussion Board vs Blog , that was published on EndUserSharePoint.com today: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1272 .  If you haven’t ever been to this site – you should!  They have a great deal of information on that site for all...

I came across a recent article that spoke to SharePoint becoming the collaboration tool of choice for Military organizations across the world.  Being a veteran, this really intrigues me.  I recently finished a project implementing MOSS for a financial organization and I always had that extra...

Today I launched my new blog on SharePoint at www.sharingthepoint.com . All of the pertinent posts from my old blog ( http://weblogs.asp.net/danlewis/ ) have been migrated, as well as the majority of the comments.  The only thing that didn't migrate too well was the date of the comments... but I...

The SharePoint User Assistance team has put together some posters of the stsadm command line parameters.  Not a bad thing to hang over the desk! Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies Team Blog : Posters for SharePoint Stsadm command line parameters now available   - Dan Lewis

The SharePoint product team has released the first version of the Microsoft SharePoint Administration Toolkit which is supported on MOSS and WSS.  I was surprised that it didn't have that many initial tools- but the ones it does have are super sweet.  I think the feature that is going to be...
