Ideally the tools would have been better by now, but they aren't, so I wanted to share an easy way to get items created the way you want them to be with a lot less cut and paste. To do that we need a Visual Studio Project Item Wizard......(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2008/11/21/Sharepoint-Project-Items--_2D00_-Wizard-Style.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9131773" width="1" height="1">s.mclarenhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/s.mclaren.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2008/11/05/step-by-step-setting-up-sharepoint-to-use-adam-for-your-extranet-user-store.aspx2008-11-05T15:19:00Z2008-11-05T15:19:00ZThere is a lot of information out there on using ADAM with SharePoint, but the problem I found was going to 6 different places before you actually make it work right. Hopefully this will save you some time by running through it in one place. For the purpose of this post, I am going to assume you have a directory setup already and have already downloaded and installed ADAM on a server we will refer to as 'ADAMServer' for the remainder of this post. We will also be assuming that ADAM is running on...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2008/11/05/step-by-step-setting-up-sharepoint-to-use-adam-for-your-extranet-user-store.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9044067" width="1" height="1">s.mclarenhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/s.mclaren.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2008/02/15/getting-moss-2007-installed-on-windows-server-2008.aspx2008-02-16T00:49:00Z2008-02-16T00:49:00ZNow that Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1 have shipped (Announced Febryary 4th) it is time to upgrade everything :). I found myself building a new development VPC for building MOSS samples today only to realize that we have blocked the installation of MOSS RTM on Server 2008 in favor of MOSS SP1. The issue with that is we don't yet have the MOSS with SP1 builds out there, so you will have to slip your own to get it installed. It just so happens, Ben Curry has not only figured this out, but written...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2008/02/15/getting-moss-2007-installed-on-windows-server-2008.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7722924" width="1" height="1">s.mclarenhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/s.mclaren.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2007/12/20/looking-for-the-net-web-technology-roadmap.aspx2007-12-21T01:31:00Z2007-12-21T01:31:00ZScott Guthrie has posted a very good look at what is to come... http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/11/29/net-web-product-roadmap-asp-net-silverlight-iis7.aspx...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2007/12/20/looking-for-the-net-web-technology-roadmap.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6821249" width="1" height="1">s.mclarenhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/s.mclaren.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smclaren/archive/2007/12/20/new-sql-2005-tools-released.aspx2007-12-21T01:24:00Z2007-12-21T01:24:00ZThe SQL Server support team has released a new set of tools for SQL Server.
