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.
