Office Web Apps error in site collections

I have successfully enabled the Office Web Application feature in my main site collection, so I can view word, excel, power point and one note documents in browser. But I was getting an error when I try to use the same functionality on a new site collection, such as

http://SharePointSiteName/sites/sitecollectionName

The solution is to make sure that Office Web Apps feature is activated in all (your ) site collection. To do this,

Set Windows PowerShell script execution policy

1.    Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows PowerShell, right-click Windows PowerShell, and then click Run as administrator. 2.    In the Windows PowerShell console, at the command prompt, type set-executionpolicy unrestricted, and then press  ENTER.

Activate the Office Web Apps feature on all site collections

Office Web Apps require that the Office Web Apps feature be activated on every site collection for which the Web apps will be available. Activate the Office Web Apps feature for all site collections by running the following script:

 

$webAppsFeatureId = $(Get-SPFeature -limit all | where {$_.displayname

-eq "OfficeWebApps"}).Id

Get-SPSite –limit ALL |foreach{

Enable-SPFeature $webAppsFeatureId –url $_.URL }

What's New in SharePoint 2010?

On November 25, I participated in a seminar hosted by Dimension Data Learning Solutions in Sydney on the top new features coming in SharePoint 2010. The presenters were myself and Milan Gross from Synergy. Although this is only the beta 2 version of SharePoint 2010, already the number of new capabilities are impressive and we put together a slide deck that was heavy on details and light on marketing so that we could show as many of the features as possible. Here is the PDF version of the presentation we delivered: What's New in SharePoint 2010?

Microsoft Office Web Apps (Beta)

Microsoft Office Web Apps are new web-based tools that extend the Microsoft Office 2010 experience to a supported browser. Office Web Apps enable you to view, do light editing, and share your Office documents from virtually anywhere. With these online companions to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote you’ll always have the tools you need, wherever you are.

I was getting following error message when I was running the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You need following hotfix to fix this problem.

I simply download and run the update. Then run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard in my Windows 7 laptop. It’s all working fine now!!!!

Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint Server

When you create or customize SharePoint solutions, it is usually best to develop the solution on a local computer where Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 is installed. This article describes how to install a development environment with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The development environment that you create by using these instructions will not support SharePoint farm installations, and you should not host active production sites with this configuration. These instructions will enable you to get started with an environment that is specifically suited to developing SharePoint custom solutions.

Step 1: Choose and Preconfigure the Operating System

SharePoint 2010 Beta SDK now available for public download

The SharePoint 2010 (Beta) SDK is now available for public download:  Get it here!

The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes documentation and code samples for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, which builds upon the SharePoint Foundation 2010 infrastructure. The SDK includes:

• Detailed descriptions of the technologies that SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010 provide for developers,
• Reference documentation for the server and client object models,
• Step-by-step procedures for using and programming with these technologies and object models, and
• Code samples and solution starters for building projects with SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta releases

This SDK also includes best practices and setup guidance that will help you get started with your own custom applications that build and extend upon the SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 platforms.

For additional information, you can visit the SharePoint Developer Center on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN): http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint. Visit frequently to learn about recently published content; to view essential getting started content; to view rich media content such as videos and screencasts; to get connected to instructor-led training and other learning resources; to learn more about product features and scenarios in our MSDN Resource Centers; and to find community resources such as MSDN forums, newsgroups, MVP blogs, and much more.

The SDK also includes many code samples that address common customization scenarios and solution building blocks. Future (quarterly) releases will contain additional samples, and you can also check MSDN Code Gallery for SharePoint solutions and code samples.

 Installation Instructions

The Downloadable Setup Program will guide you through the installation. By default, you can install the complete SDK with both SharePoint Foundation 2010 as well as SharePoint Server 2010 documentation and samples.  If you are working only with SharePoint Foundation 2010 APIs, you can install only the SharePoint Foundation 2010 SDK documentation: select SharePoint Server 2010 Help and Samples, and then click Entire feature will be unavailable in the setup program.

Once installed, you can access the SDK documentation and samples from the Start Menu.  Look in All Programs > Microsoft SDKs.

 Community Forums and Feedback

Also live today is the SharePoint Development Forum on MSDN: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/threads. 

Send us your feedback directly from any SDK topic.  Use the Send Feedback e-mail links in all SDK topics to identify issues, request code samples, or request additional content about a supported customization scenario.

What's Coming in Search for SharePoint 2010?

 A great synopsis of where search is heading in the SharePoint 2010 timeframe from MS Search team blog!!!

There are two main enterprise search options coming with the SharePoint 2010 release:

1)      SharePoint Server 2010 Search – the out-of-the-box SharePoint search for enterprise deployments.

2)      FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint – a brand new add-on product based on the FAST search technology that combines the best of FAST’s high-end search capabilities with the best of SharePoint.

FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 adds a whole new level of search capabilities that are a superset of what comes in the out-of-the-box SharePoint 2010 Search option. Since there are now two search options in 2010, it’s useful to understand what is unique in FAST Search for SharePoint and when you might consider using it over the out-of-the-box SharePoint 2010 search. With that in mind, here are my 10 reasons to consider FAST Search for SharePoint 2010:
