SharePoint 2010's Sandboxed Solutions

2009-11-02: Windows IT Pro

One of the biggest problems with SharePoint 2007 development is that all of its solutions run as full trust. This makes farm administrators reluctant to publish any solution that may disrupt the stability of the farm. Sandboxed solutions, new in SharePoint 2010, address this by allowing site collection administrators to deploy solutions that are safe to run.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 9:30 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

When the Enterprise Services group committed to more than doubling its business, it realized that its existing processes and tools could not support the projected growth. Join this session to see how Microsoft IT (MSIT) provided a standard set of robust business processes and an integrated global tools platform, using Microsoft Office applications as the interface. The solution reduced core transaction costs and incorporated compliant policies, such as SOX, directly into processes. Tools and processes are integrated, reporting integrity is high, and engagement management is streamlined.

SPGhostTool - Tool to fix broken setup path values in files without having to modify the database

WSS PM recently released a codeplex tool that you may find useful for fixing ghosted file issues in SharePoint. The tool uses the PRIME APIs to export and import an individual file to fix up the setup path value. Since it is relatively easy for a user to break this value and become permanently unable to re-ghost the file, hopefully this will help. http://www.codeplex.com/SPGhostTool

Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0 Go Live (x86)

URL Rewrite Module provides a rule-based rewriting mechanism for changing request URL’s before they get processed by web server. The module can be used to express URL rewriting logic that can use regular expressions or wildcards and can make rewriting decisions based on HTTP headers and server variables. While the primary purpose of the module is to rewrite requested URL’s, it also has functionality to perform redirects, send custom responses or abort requests based on the logic expressed in the rewrite rules.

Web Playlists for IIS 7.0 Release Candidate (RC)

Web Playlists let you deliver server-controlled media playlists from your Web server infrastructure rather than using a dedicated streaming server. They enable you to control whether clients can Seek or Skip for each media asset, which lends itself very well to monetizing your content with pre-roll and in-stream ads.
