SharePoint Portal Server 2010 Up and Running

sprobot — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:08:59 +0000

So, if you were following along, we ran aground on step 5 of 10 during the configuration wizard. I posted my error here on MSDN and got a response that Stand Alone mode is not supported on a DC.
This is odd because the Configuration Wizard never let me choose Complete mode; it just went straight into [...]

There is a Create Site Activity (Action command) that requires 3 arguments – A Title for the Site, the URL [...]

SharePoint 2010 Install

sprobot — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:25:51 +0000

With a solid domain controller and SQL Server running, it’s time to install SharePoint 2010.
For simplicity, let me refer to MyDomain.com and MyDomainController.MyDomain.com. I’ve also created a user account and named it SVC_SPSDBAccess and I made it a domain admin.
In SQL Server, I connected to the server and opened the Security | Logins node. I [...]

SQL Server 2008 Install – Second Try

sprobot — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:30:31 +0000

The SQL Server install didn’t go well. I tried to install the full suite and four of the five services failed.
So I reverted and thought I’d explore a different track.
First of all, I was trying to use the free SQL Server Developer Edition x64 that I got from the Heroes Happen Here Road Show. I [...]

MOSS and Microsoft Project Server 2007 – “Access Denied” on Project Web Access (PWA) After Database Backup Restore

tommysegoro — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:45:49 +0000

Before I start let me explain the issue. The client has an old Sharepoint farm that runs MS Project Server 2007. This server suddenly died after a corruption on their SAN disk. Luckily, they’ve backed-up the databases (MS Project databases and Sharepoint content databases). They’ve now prepared a new farm to restore the data into. [...]

Planning for the New Service Application Architecture in SP2010

mpassannante — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:05:51 +0000

I just returned from SharePoint Technology Conference in San Francisco, where I delivered three sessions. I owe a very warm and heartfelt thank you to Chairman David Rubinstein and Conference Manager Kathy Bruin for not only providing me with the wonderful opportunity to speak, but having enough faith in me to deliver multiple sessions year after year. I am [...]

So we have new VM domain controller and now we’ll try to get SQL Server to run.
I have the install disk in my metal server and so, in the VM, I have to uncapture the CD drive and then recapture it with the new disk. It wants to auto start. I click OK and click [...]
