Thanks to some recon from Robert (and his lab ;), I’ve got some answers to some questions that folks may have up front about SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SBS 2011 so I figured I’d provide it in a quick FAQ format: Question: Does SBS 2011, without the Premium full SQL Server add-on install using SQL …

Situation My Parents went away for a week’s vacation… (wait, that’s a Fresh Prince Song) A user has access to SharePoint (is able to login somewhere, i.e. not being re-prompted for credentials) but does not have access to a particular list or library but does have a link (maybe via the Quick Launch or Top …

I shared this in the office this week to try and breakdown what SSL Certificates we choose, for which application/situation. Maybe it will help you too.   Cert Type How Expensive? Notes Standard SSL $ For one off, named URL’s such as portal.somewhere.com. Website SSL, Exchange 2003 Webmail, SBS 2003, SharePoint HTTPS sites Wildcard Certificate …

Hey folks, I’m honoured and humbled to have been awarded with the Microsoft MVP award in SharePoint for a 3rd year. It truly is a privilege to be part of this fine group of individuals, some of the smartest and most dedicated folks I’ve ever met. I’d like to thank my wife, my kids, my …
