    You may be interested in knowing that we have released the WSSv3 and MOSS blackout hotfixes.  These are the fixes from between December and February while we were re-integrating the branches and could not produce hotfix builds. 

     

    The build number for the blackout hotfixes is 12.0.6303.5000.  When you install it, the version information will record as 12.0.6303.5000.  These hotfixes are also Post SP1 and include everything that was in the Post SP1 rollups (SharePoint hotfixes are cumulative).  Therefore, if you would prefer to have both the SPLock fixes and the blackout fixes, we would recommend you issue the blackout hotifxes from:



    WSSv3 Blackout rollup -     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948945 -

    WSSv3 Localized Blackout rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948957
    MOSS Blackout rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948947  (live in a couple of days, but you can already request it.)

  • Are you a scripting fan ?

    Well if you are... You are not alone !

    Actually scripted Sharepoint installations have been discussed in the past, and are a very helpful way for deploying large farms.

    We have published a new white paper on that, It provides very good information that will help you build your own scripts.

    This is the first version of the Admin Toolkit. The idea is to put in place a mechanism to release supported, documented, and sustained tools for SharePoint.   

     

    The plan is to release an updated toolkit quarterly which will include tools to address top support issues or design deficiencies that are a hindrance for product use.

     

    The Microsoft SharePoint Administration Toolkit 1.0 releases to the web today !
