How to create an Enterprise wiki

An Enterprise wiki helps users capture and publish knowledge that can be shared across the enterprise. When an organization needs an easy content editing experience in a single location for co-authoring content, conducting discussions, and managing projects, consider creating an Enterprise wiki.

1. To create an Enterprise wiki by using Central Administration
Verify that you have the following administrative credentials: 
• To use Central Administration, the user account that is performing this procedure must be a member of the Farm Administrators group.
NOTE: You can also create an Enterprise wiki as a sub-site of another site by clicking New Site on the Site Actions menu.


• In the Web Application section, click the Web Application drop-down list to select the Web application where you want to create the Enterprise wiki.
• In the Title and Description section, type a title in the Title box and, optionally, type a description in the Descriptionbox.
• In the Web Site Address section, select / to create the Enterprise wiki at the root of the Web application, or select/sites/ to create the Enterprise wiki site at a specific path. If you select /sites/, you must also type the site name.
• In the Template Selection section, click the Publishing tab, and then click Enterprise Wiki.
• In the Primary Site Collection Administrator section, type the user name for the user who will be the site collection administrator.
• In the Secondary Site Collection Administrator section, type the user name for the secondary administrator of the site collection.
• Designating a secondary site collection administrator is a best practice to ensure that someone can manage the site collection when a primary site collection administrator is not present.
• If you are using quotas to manage storage for site collections, in the Quota Template section, click a template in the Select a quota template list.
• Click OK.
2. Create an Enterprise wiki by using Windows PowerShell
Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements:

• See Add-SPShellAdmin.
• On the Start menu, click All Programs.
• Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
• Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
• From the Windows PowerShell command prompt window (that is, PS C:\>), type the following commands:
  1. To display all the site templates, type the following command:
     
     Get-SPWebTemplate
  2. To create a variable that contains the name of the Enterprise wiki template, type the following command:
     
     $wikitemp = Get-SPWebTemplate "ENTERWIKI#0"
  3. To create an Enterprise wiki site, type the following command:
     
     
     New-SPSite http://yoursite.com/Wiki -OwnerAlias <domain\user> 
     -Template $wikitemp
     Where <domain\user> is the user name of the site owner.

Web Analytics: Monitors the health of the Report Consolidator component

The quick fix is via SharePoint PowerShell - open that and do the following step.

NOTE: You must be an Admin to do this. Run your SharePoint PowerShell as Administrator.

Step 1 - Get the GUID of the Service Application 

> Get-SPServiceApplication
...
Managed Metadata ... Managed Metadata ... 50f28d03-a89a-4cd0-a5ce-3fa95bf19ac7
Web Analytics Ser... Web Analytics Ser... ec65ee1c-f3d3-4bc7-9bb1-6cccb4705cdf
Excel Services Ap... Excel Services Ap... 4041c849-5ca9-48e1-93a6-1a7b4edac13f
...
Notice the Web Analytics service - copy the GUID in the ID Column.

Step 2 - Turn on Data Trimming on the Reporting Service

> Set-SPWebAnalyticsServiceApplication -Identity <GUID> -EnableDataTrimming

(replace <GUID> with the GUID you copied above - NOTE: if you only have one Analytics Service, you can omit the GUID)

for example:
> Set-SPWebAnalyticsServiceApplication -Identity ec65ee1c-f3d3-4bc7-9bb1-6cccb4705cdf -EnableDataTrimming

Give if a few minutes to let the SPTimer job kick then return to the Health Monitor, click the message and select Re-analyze Now - message should go away!

How to migrate (copy) Microsoft Outlook 2010 custom views to backup or share

Microsoft Outlook doesn’t offer an easy method to backup or share custom views, and exporting the contents to a new pst does not include the views or custom forms.

Copy views to a ViewsBackup.pst

1. Add a new .pst (File, New, Outlook Data File).
2. Add folders to the .pst for each type of view you need to copy. (One folder each of Mail, Calendar, contacts, etc).
3. Select the first new folder.
4. Open the Define views dialog.
5. Select the view you want to copy to the new pst and click Copy.
6. Select one of the "This folder…" options.
7. Change the view name, if desired.
8. Click Ok.
9. Repeat for each view you want to copy.

Repeat for each folder type.
To copy a view that was originally designed for “this folder only”, you’ll need open that folder, and make a copy of it using the “For all [folders]” option then begin with Step 3.
Copying views to a different pst uses the same steps, but you’ll copy the “for this folder view” and set it for All [folder]. This adds it to the default pst (or Exchange mailbox). If you want it for a specific folder only, you’ll need to select the folder, copy the view again and set it for this folder only.
Views created for “this folder only” are stored in the folder – moving or copying the folder to a new pst includes these views (as well as custom forms published to the folder).
Exchange server users can copy views and published forms using the File, Folder menu.

How to fix The list cannot be Displayed in Datasheet View

By default, the Datasheet view of a list or library is not supported when you are using the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 installed on a 64-bit Windows operating system.

If your business needs require using the 64-bit version of Office 2010, you can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components to enable the Datasheet component. These components are available here on the Microsoft download center:
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components

NOTE: If you are using a 64-bit version of an Internet browser, for example the 64-bit version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0, there is no support for the Edit in Datasheet feature.

NOTE: You must install all 64-bit versions of Office products before you install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components.

OTHER REASONS DATASHEET VIEW MIGHT NOT WORK
There might be other reasons why Datasheet view is not working, including the following:

• A datasheet component compatible with SharePoint 2010 is not installed.
• Your browser does not support ActiveX controls.
• Certain libraries and lists do not support Datasheet view, such as a slide library, and therefore the Datasheet view command is dimmed.

How to fix Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Search returns no results

SharePoint Foundation 2010 includes basic searching features. Despite all rumors and recommendations to upgrade to higher level searching packages, the basic SharePoint search works quite well ... and it's very useful.

If your SharePoint server is not returning search results, the following may help you resolve the issue. It's important to create the right accounts, enable the right services, assign the accounts to these services and finally attach the search server to your web applications.

Let's begin ...

1. You need to create domain accounts for Searching and Crawling. Using the Farm Account (or default accounts) is not recommended. In our example we will use "spSearch" and "spCrawl". Use complex passwords! These domains accounts should only be standard users, no administrative privileges should be applied.
2. Log into the SharePoint Central Administration Page
3. CA > Security > General Security > Configure Managed Accounts > Register Managed Account.
• Enter in "domain\spSearch" and the password you chose
• Click "OK".
• You should now see this account in the Managed Account list
4. CA > System Settings > Servers > Manage Services on Server > SharePoint Foundation Search > Start.
• Service Account -> "Domain\spSearch"
• Content Access Account (Crawl) -> "Domain\spCrawl" and the password you chose
• Leave everything else as defaults (you can change the Database Name if you are having issues)
5. CA > Security > General Security > Configure service accounts
• Choose "Windows Service -> SharePoint Foundation Service"
• Choose "Domain\spSearch" for the account selection
• Click "OK"
6. CA > Application Management > Manage Content Databases
• This is important! For each site you want automatically crawled, you must assign the search server.
• In the top right corner under "Web Application", choose the web applications to be crawled, one at a time followed by a click on the "database name" column once they are loaded.
• In the profile page, change the "Search Server" and "Preferred Server for Timer Jobs" to your server.
• Click "OK"
• Repeat for any other Website Applications you wish crawled
7. CA > Monitoring > Timer Jobs > Review Timer Jobs > SharePoint Foundation Search Refresh
• Choose "Run Now" to begin indexing your web applications (sites)
• This can take several hours depending on the size of your database(s). Please be patient.
8. If you're feeling eager and have a background in SQL, you can use the SQL Management Studio to check the progress. If you are not familiar with SQL, don't be a hero ... this can cause major damage.


• Load the SQL Management Studio
• Expand the search database created in the earlier steps (typically WSS_Search_%hostname%)
• Right click the database -> new query
• Enter in the following Query:select * from msscrawlhostlist (execute)

You will be presented with a table of results including a column for Hostname and SuccessCount. SuccessCount increases as it indexes each page.

• You can also lookup the crawl summary with:select * from MSSCrawlURLLog
• And should there be any error codes in the MSSCrawlURLog, they can be referenced with:select * from MSSCrawlErrorList where ErrorID = '<ERRORID>'

If you run into issues where things are still not being crawled, i would suggest deleting the spCrawl and spSearch from SharePoint and Active Directory, re-creating them from scratch, repeating this entire process, and changing the "database" value in step "3". This will re-create the crawling database from scratch.

I hope it helpful to you!

Benefits of outsourcing Exchange Email

There are huge benefits to outsourcing your mail.

No single point of failure (power goes out, nic card dies, hard drive failure). All of this results in your mail being down.You do not have to pay for an exchange admin (min of $50k a year to have someone keep your mail server running)

Most hosting company (like the one i work for), have a ton of redundancy built into there networks. Its more more secure then your everyday work networks.

You can save a lot of money also by outsourcing. You never have to worry about hardware failure. No more having to purchase Microsoft Licenses, backup software,antivirus software. You also do not have to pay for that person to keep the server running. That includes everyday maintenance.

You also never have to upgrade. When you outsource, the hosting company do all the upgrades for you.

Also, most your hosting company have Top notch Enterprise security. Specially if the company is SAS70 compliant. They get audited all the time to make sure the customers data is secure and protected.

Also, Spam Filters. Most company's (at least you should check first), include spam filtering. That is another cost you will have to pay if you keep it in-house.

There are a lot more, and i will be happy to go more in depth in this conversation if you wish. Also, I work for a Hosted Exchange company. If you are interested in talking to me offline about your needs, let me know. I didn't want to make this just about my company but i wanted to just give you facts on any hosted exchange company you go with.

No matter what company you choose, i believe hosted exchange is a lot better then keeping it inhouse. Just make sure you do your research on the top hosted exchange company before you make your choice.

You can send me a private message if you want to talk offline about your needs and i can at least give you more information about what you need to look for.

Thanks

How to configure SharePoint Foundation 2010 for SharePoint Workspace 2010

SharePoint Workspace 2010 is the new version that will give you an offline copy of a SharePoint website and also allow you to work with a SharePoint site outside of a browser.  SharePoint Workspace 2010 is especially nice for editing documents in a SharePoint Document library.  SharePoint Workspace makes the SharePoint Document Library work just like a folder on your computer and will handle the synchronization of the documents back to the SharePoint server for you. If you try connecting SharePoint Workspace 2010 to a default SharePoint Foundation 2010 installation you may get an error like this one:

--------------------------- 
Sync to SharePoint Workspace 
--------------------------- 
SharePoint Workspace was unable to interpret the SharePoint location. Please check and ensure the location contains no typing errors. 
--------------------------- 
OK Help 
---------------------------

This is because the default configuration of SharePoint Foundation 2010 requires two configuration changes to allow SharePoint Workspace 2010 to work.

The first is to enable the Remote Differential Compression feature on the server that is hosting SharePoint. This is used by SharePoint Workspace 2010 to send and receive the files for synchronization.
To enable Remote Differential Compression:

1. Go to the Server Manager > Features and choose Add Features.
2. Check the box for the Remote Differential Compression feature and then click Install to enable this feature.

The second configuration change to allow SharePoint Workspace 2010 to work with your SharePoint Foundation 2010 server is to add an Alternate Access Mapping of the public facing DNS name (or IP address) to SharePoint using the SharePoint CA.  If you are connecting to your SharePoint site using the computer name then this is not necessary, but if you are connecting over the Internet through either an IP address or DNS name then you will need to add this alternate access mapping.

The reason is that when SharePoint is first installed, the only way it thinks users are connecting to the server is through the computer name: http://computer_name (as if on a local intranet).  Since most likely v Workspace 2010 users will be connecting through a public facing DNS name (or IP address), you will need to add this DNS name (or IP address) as an alternate access mapping (indicating that this DNS name is the same as the computer_name and should map to the SharePoint site).
To add an Alternate Access Mapping to SharePoint Foundation 2010:

1. Visit the SharePoint Central Administration on the SharePoint Foundation 2010 server.
2. Once in the SharePoint Central Administration website, click on the Application Management link.
3. Configure alternate access mappings
4. Choose Edit Public URLs.
5. And then select the public facing SharePoint website that you want to add an access mapping to.  You do this by changing the Alternate Access Mapping Collection (clicking on the “No selection” drop down button) to the website that is running on Port 80. The  default name of the public facing SharePoint site is “SharePoint – 80” but you may have changed that when you configured your SharePoint site. Once you have switched the Alternate Access Mapping Collection to the public SharePoint website (SharePoint – 80) then you can specify the Public URL by adding the publically accessible IP Address or DNS name to the Internet field.
6. Click Save to apply the alternate access mapping and now you should be able to connect to your SharePoint Foundation 2010 site with SharePoint Workspace 2010.

SharePoint Foundation 2010 is the free version of SharePoint that installs on top of Windows Server 2008.  With SharePoint Workspace 2010 you can get an offline copy of your SharePoint team site allowing you to add/edit your documents in any SharePoint document library easily and allow SharePoint Workspace 2010 to handle the file synchronization for you. 

How to Use the Silverlight SharePoint Web Part to Display Silverlight Applications

Silverlight applications are used to build rich Internet-based applications. SharePoint previously allowed Silverlight integration with some configurations and many deployment dependencies.

SharePoint 2010 has introduced a new web part (Silverlight Web Part) which is an out of the box SharePoint web part. It facilitates one to view their Silverlight applications. The Silverlight web part always accepts the application in the ".xap" format, which is basically the compressed output file for the Silverlight application.

So, how to use out of box Silverlight web part in SharePoint 2010?

1. Create a sample Silverlight application using Visual Studio 2010.
2. Find a .xap file in the projectfolder -> projectfolder.web -> ClientBin folder
3. Upload the .xap file into one of the SharePoint libraries.  To upload the .xap file, go to the Library and click Add document.  Browse the source path of the clientbin folder and select the .xap file and click OK. One can select to overwrite the existing file in the library too.
4. To add a Silverlight web part, go to SiteActions -> Edit Page. Click Add web part. In the Media and Content category, select Silverlight web part and click OK.
5. Open the tool pane. Under the application category, click on configure and select the application file source path as the document name (.xap files) that you uploaded in the library. Click OK and select Stop editing from the Page tab. 
6. The Silverlight application is viewable and accessible very easily without any kind of back-end configurations.

How to configure SharePoint Foundation Search

This is a guide which will help you to configure SharePoint Foundation Search.
Firstly you need to turn on the Foundation Search Service.  You do that with the following:

1. Open Central Administration
2. Go to System Settings -> Manage services on server
3. Click on SharePoint Foundation Search
4. Assign a service account to start the service (this is a managed account, so select on or add a new one)
5. Assign a content access account (more on that below)
6. Enter a database server and database name (or accept the defaults)
7. Choose an indexing schedule
8. Click Ok
9. When you return to the Manage services on server page, click Start next to SharePoint Foundation Search

That’s only the first part, however.  You’ve got the Search service running and the indexer on a schedule, but you actually have not yet identified what to index. The next thing that you need to do grant the content access account (that you entered above) read access to your applications.  Do next steps:

1. Go to Central Administration
2. Go to Application Management -> Manage web applications
3. Highlight the web application that you want foundation search to index
4. Click User Policy in the ribbon
5. In the Policy for Web Application box that appears, click Add Users
6. Leave the Zone selection at (All zones), click Next
7. In the Choose Users box, enter the username of the Content Access Account you used above when you configured SharePoint Foundation Search
8. Check Full Read for permissions
9. Click Finish

Now you have the indexer running and the content access account has privileges to read all of the content in your web application.  But you still haven’t identified the content to crawl.  That’s done at the content database level. Do this:

1. Go to Central Administration
2. Go to Application Management -> Manage Content Database Settings
3. Click on the content database that contains the site(s)/site collection(s) that you want to index
4. In the settings for that content database, in the section Search Server, use the drop down list to select the server with SharePoint Foundation Search service running
5. Click OK.

You have turned on and set a schedule for indexing, granted permissions for the crawl account, and identified content to crawl.  More than likely for configure SharePoint Foundation Search, you’re done.  Based on the schedule that you created in the first part, and the amount of data that you need to crawl, you may need to wait a little while to check to see if everything is working.
