Cmdlets I use most often

I love the power of PowerShell. And I use it a lot to do stuff, it is much easier and faster than using CA. And I find myself googling Microsoft or other pages over and over for the same commands, because I simply cannot remember the parameters and it is faster to just google it. So …

Why managed metadata sucks

Why is it that you often start doing things in SharePoint that you find really useful, and when you have almost reached your goal – the whole idea just falls? This happened to me when I setup a taxonomy for a department, we built the trees and deployed them to the libraries. All looked really …

Always a challenge to install service packs, and today (after having a snapshot of my new SP installation) I installed, in the following order:SP Foundation SP1, rebootSP Server SP1, rebootRun Config wizard, rebootRestart USP – worked (but you need to have the farm admin account in Local Admins group)New snapshotCU for Foundation, rebootCU for Server, …

Same blog, new URL

My old blog url was miss-sharepoint.blogspot.com but that name was lame, so I have changed the URL to sharepointbabe.blogspot.com which is my aka – self announced of course, and I am sure it always bugs someone 😉 I think it’s an awesome name! The downside of switching URL is that my followers are gone, and …

Script for SharePoint installation

This weeks task was to setup a SP2010 medium server farm. It took half a day, and using this powershell script to install the index server was AWESOME! You must edit the files before you run them, to add your own db names, servers etc, but once that is done it’s a really fast setup! …
