How's that for a blog posting title! Oh, and I'll add IIS redirect virtual servers into the mix. I've been working with a customer on detailing all the steps necessary to make this a reality, and I've seen quite a few posts out on some internet...

I had a theory that this caused problems and validated it today while working with a customer who has a large number of content sources spread across multiple indexes. Note: First of all, poking around through the UI to look at all the details of...

In this previous post , I discussed how I spent most of my evenings and vacation time updating my indieOpolis site to utilize WSS 3.0. One of the things I wanted to accomplish during this "rebuild" was to utilize the Rich Text column type for the details...

In my previous post, I commented that I've updated my indieOpolis site to WSS 3.0 , As well, I've migrated my Tangerine Dream Collection Project site to WSS 3.0 under the indieOpolis server as well. This past weekend, I spent "WAY TOO MUCH TIME" re...

Over the past few evenings (during what little spare time I've had :)), I re-created the indieOpolis site completely from scratch to use Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 now that it has released. Check it out at http://www.indieopolis.net (Yeah, I moved...

Tony has made yet another good posting in his "SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Crawl Performance" series. Check it out here ! I think when Tony has completed this series (If there is ever an end as he's still got V3 to start talking about (hint hint...

In my line of work, I have to have a few SharePoint farms sitting around with different topologies, settings, etc. I certainly don't have a separate database server for each farm to support these configurations, and I don't want to have a separate...

Tony McIntyre from my old team has started blogging!!!! Check out his first post titled SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Crawl performance Part 1 . This is a great article to hook on while also checking out my article Understanding SharePoint - Part...

Steve Sheppard from my old team in conjunction with many other folks, has created a fantastic whitepaper on troubleshooting the Explorer View feature that is included with Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and is also available in Microsoft SharePoint Portal...

If you've ever heard the Real Men of Genius commercials, you'll be able to sing along with this. If there's one guy I probably don't thank enough it's Andre Heymann who helps engineer the SharePoint deployments within Microsoft IT. Sure I've thanked...

If I don't harp on it enough :) I knew I had seen the official KB on this subject long ago, and finally came across it again. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;830601 Keep in mind, that even with a MOSS 2007 indexer, indexing...

I've been super busy and have had some personal items to take care of, but to show some link love to some of my SharePoint pals Joel Oleson has recently posted a few items that I feel are worth reading: More Content Database sizing and capacity...

Be sure to read this great post before just cliking on update with B2TR http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2006/09/12/750127.aspx - Keith

Unfortunately, I think it has come to this. I will not be posting anything personal, or what I find humorous on this blog anymore. Back in April, I wrote this post about bringing back personal thoughts, etc back to this blog. From the various comments...

Chris Gideon has a great note about keeping Kerberos in mind when upgrading to WSS V3 and MOSS 2007. http://blogs.msdn.com/cgideon/archive/2006/09/11/749123.aspx - Keith

I promise not to quit my day job (yet) and take up comedy, but adding on to my previous post with some other whimsical things that popped into my head today. I thought I’d share some dry humor with you. Most of these are music related, and note that these...

In my previous post When the heck did you find the time to do all this music , I mentioned that I created indieopolis.net initially to develop a platform for independent artists. Since I was a SharePoint Escalation Engineer, I had a grandiose plan to...

A few folks have asked me this question over the past few months, primarily, because at the end of 2005 I released 3 CDs, and then I've released 3 more this year. First of all, most of this music already existed. I just hadn't polished it up, and was...
