re: Host Named Site Collections (HNSC) for SharePoint 2010 Architects

Hi Mark, This is excellent! The naming restrictions were a potential deal breaker.

Can you comment on how the August 2010 CU impacts off-box SSL termination? Once that's installed, doesn't it ease the restriction on coexistence of Http and Https host-named site collections? [Description of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 hotfix package (Sts-x-none.msp): August 31, 2010. Microsoft Corporation Support, support.microsoft.com/.../2266423]

Thanks,

Mary

Do you have any decent resources that can map these results to recommended server specs or service architecture. for example, at what point is a good idea to perhaps take a heavly used service on a larger farm and place it on its own app server. There is a lot of info on technet about how to set up service architectures, but not as much as why or when to split off services, in terms of an objective set of criteria. Thanks for the excellent post!

Hi Mark, excellent post. The number of concurrent users is definitely very useful for planning your SharePoint farm. If it should be 10 mins? I tend to agree. What I often find useful as well is to analyze the performance from the client side. I have extended the so called CopyTimer tool from MSFT where certain tests are performed and stats uploaded to a SharePoint list. Very nice. I have distributed the .exe around the world, asking users to schedule the tool to run a number of times each day during their office hours. I have found that information even more useful than server logs as this really tells you that uploading a document might take 6 times longer from the APAC region when compared to AMERICAS for instance. Just a thought. :-) Keep up the good work!

Hi, I tried this method to exclude a menu in our master page, but it does not seem to work.

We are using Windows 2008 Server R2 and Sharepoint 2010 RTM. Is there an updated iFilter that we need to install?

This would be a great find if we can get this to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

The Enable-SPSessionStateService cmdlet is available in MOSS only, for Access Services reporting, and Project Server. For WSS, you'll need to configure manually.

I'm having the same issue with Sharepoint Foundation and Enable-SPSessionStateService. It is not listed with get-command. I'm running Foundtion in Farm Mode on Windows 7. Has this feature been blocked because of being a "client-mode" install?

Go try the first two Hands-On Labs as mentioned in the blog posting above. You won't have to download, install or buy any software, it all runs through your browser.

I cannot get this to work in SP 2010 Foundation either. Woks perfectly in SP Server 2010. Where are you community? :)
