SharePoint Connections... Space helmet
I bought a space helmet at Mission Space at Epcot while down here thinking it would make a great prop. I downloaded the 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) midi file and had it running on the laptop while I slowly moved my head with the space helmet over the desk. I got a few chuckles... I then realized the mic wasn't on.
A few of the lines...
SharePoint Administration isn't Rocket Science
Note in the helmet: "Not designed as protective gear."
"It's one small step for man...." Well that wasn't mine, but I said it
The morning came very early. The wake up call never went off, but I woke up before it was suppose to go off. I kept expecting the phone to ring and didn't want to jump in the shower. After I was out an operator called asking if I got the call. That was as I was walking out the door.
The basic and advanced talks were well attended. Got lots of good questions. An amazing 90% of my basic talk had little to no experience with WSS or MOSS. The advanced course was made up of a 50% mix of experienced SharePoint and new. Lots of newbies. Good times.
I did a talk on "Is the File Server Dead." It isn't by the way. Inroads on that topic. Microsoft has put out a great reporting tool for file servers. Here's a quote from the intro:
| • |
Create quotas to limit the space allowed for a volume or folder and generate notifications when the quota limits are approached or exceeded. |
| • |
Automatically generate and apply quotas to all existing folders and any new subfolders in a volume or folder. |
| • |
Create file screens to control the type of files that users can save and send notifications when users attempt to save blocked files. |
| • |
Define quota and file screening templates that can be easily applied to new volumes or folders and reused across an organization. |
| • |
Schedule periodic storage reports that help identify trends in disk usage. |
| • |
Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or for a selected group of users. |
| • |
Generate storage reports instantly, on demand. |
