Microsoft Makes Strategic Changes in Technology and Business Practices to Expand Interoperability: New interoperability principles and actions will increase openness of key products.

Microsoft Makes Strategic Changes in Technology and Business Practices to Expand Interoperability: New interoperability principles and actions will increase openness of key products.

REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 21, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced a set of broad-reaching changes to its technology and business practices to increase the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for developers, partners, customers and competitors.
Specifically, Microsoft is implementing four new interoperability principles and corresponding actions across its high-volume business products: (1) ensuring open connections; (2) promoting data portability; (3) enhancing support for industry standards; and (4) fostering more open engagement with customers and the industry, including open source communities.
“These steps represent an important step and significant change in how we share information about our products and technologies,” said Microsoft chief executive officer Steve Ballmer. “For the past 33 years, we have shared a lot of information with hundreds of thousands of partners around the world and helped build the industry, but today’s announcement represents a significant expansion toward even greater transparency. Our goal is to promote greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for customers and developers throughout the industry by making our products more open and by sharing even more information about our technologies.”
According to Ray Ozzie, Microsoft chief software architect, the company’s announcement reflects the significance that individuals and businesses place upon the ease of information-sharing. As heterogeneity is the norm within enterprise architectures, interoperability across applications and services has become a key requirement.
“Customers need all their vendors, including and especially Microsoft, to deliver software and services that are flexible enough such that any developer can use their open interfaces and data to effectively integrate applications or to compose entirely new solutions,” said Ozzie. “By increasing the openness of our products, we will provide developers additional opportunity to innovate and deliver value for customers.”

SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool

Download details: SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool

Planning a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) installation or a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) installation for a large enterprise can be a very complex undertaking. Determining the most cost-effective topology, hardware, and bandwidth requirements is not a trivial task and involves selecting from a variety of configuration options. In choosing the option that best fits your organization’s needs, you need to answer the following questions:

1. What is the minimum hardware you need to deploy?


2. Where and how should you deploy the hardware?


3. How can you optimize your deployment to meet your organization’s requirements for availability and performance?


4. How will growing capacity needs affect the topology?
   

The SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool is a set of free models of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). The two models use the analysis and simulation features of System Center Capacity Planner 2007 (SCCP) to help you explore suitable IT infrastructure options for your SharePoint deployment, based on the SharePoint usage requirements for your organization that you provide to the tool. It can give you a head start on planning your SharePoint topology by producing a first approximation of the topology your organization needs. Architects, systems integrators, and deployment engineers will find it to be a valuable starting point for further refinements of the topology.

Feature Bullet Summary

Simple installation and setup
Built-in knowledge of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Built-in knowledge of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Recommended topology in a Graphical User Interface
Export topology to Visio and server configuration to Excel
Create custom hardware

The SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool depends on System Center Capacity Planner, which is available as a free download from Microsoft (see Related Resources).

Download details: Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Comprehensive Configuration Pack for Configuration Manager 2007

Download details: Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Comprehensive Configuration Pack for Configuration Manager 2007
The Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Comprehensive Configuration Pack is designed to be used for managing the configuration of SharePoint 2003 servers. This configuration pack defines recommended configurations based on an extensive number of settings affecting the configuration of SharePoint 2003 servers in the Microsoft IT environment.

A partial list of the included configuration items and settings can be obtained by downloading the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Basic Configuration Pack and/or the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Intermediate Configuration Pack. It is recommended that users begin by evaluating their configuration against the Basic configuration pack, and then progress to the Intermediate and Comprehensive configuration packs as desired configurations are verified. Once imported into SCCM 2007, this configuration pack and its included configuration items can be targeted to collections of systems which are then audited for compliance with the recommended configurations. When settings are detected to be out of compliance, events will be generated and sent to the Configuration Manager server where the data is available for reporting.

This enables early detection of potentially detrimental configuration changes and allows the administrator to correct the settings before they may cause downtime events. Please note that the configuration items, settings, and values used by Microsoft IT and included in this configuration pack will not necessarily reflect the desired configuration for every possible SharePoint Portal Server 2003 environment. The administrator should verify that the rules being evaluated reflect the desired configuration for their specific environment. If desired, the administrator can also modify the configuration pack by changing the value(s) specified for given settings-based configuration items or by adding/removing configuration items from the model through the Desired Configuration Management user interface within the SCCM 2007 console.

Where settings and values are represented by a Parent and Child configuration item pair, the Child configuration item will contain the editable rules and values that an administrator may choose to modify. Feature Bullet Summary: The Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 MSIT Comprehensive

Configuration Pack includes configuration items for the following:
• SharePoint Core
• Core MidMarket Server (MMS)
• Core SharePoint Portal Server (SPS)
• Internet Information Services (IIS)
• Indexer
• Searcher
• SharePoint Portal Server (SPS)

In some cases, the settings and values will be represented by a Parent and Child configuration item pair. Please note that the Child configuration item will contain the editable rules and values that an administrator may choose to modify to reflect the desired configuration for their specific environment.

To understand in detail what each configuration item will be evaluating please review the properties of that configuration item in the context of the server role being addressed. Configuration Pack Release

Content By Type webpart v1.1 released

Introducing the Content By Type webpart

I have been working on a new web part that aggregates content of a specific content type into a gridview. Much like the Content Query web part, but easier to use by end-users. They just need to select the content type and the columns they want to be displayed (that’s why I called it “Content by Type”).

The most important features are:
– Works in WSS and MOSS– Casting / formatting of column data types– Links to items and its context in contextmenu– Links to lookup / person fields– Filter items using MOSS filter web parts– Supports grouping/sorting and paging .... read more on the link http://www.tonstegeman.com/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=41 and http://www.tonstegeman.com/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=49

Restore a production sharepoint web farm to a new web farm - sam

If you have a production WSS 3.0 sharepoint environment and need to copy the production data into a test environment web farm (different web farm), it can be done using SQL backups and restore.

Deploying and Supporting Enterprise Search

Locating the appropriate information or people in an organization can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Without enterprise search services, employees at Microsoft might:
- Spend countless hours duplicating effort on multiple projects and teams.
- Be unaware of critical information produced by other employees.
- Make business or technical decisions with incomplete or inaccurate data.
- Require more technical support time and Helpdesk resources to resolve technical issues.
- Require additional managerial and human resources time to address job-related issues.
Microsoft IT reviewed the existing content that is indexed, existing content sources, business requirements, and technical requirements. Then, the team deployed shared enterprise search services for employees to find relevant, up-to-date information that is essential in performing their day-to-day job functions. The same enterprise search services put Microsoft employees in contact with peers all over the word, enabling them to collaborate more quickly and easily than ever before.
Microsoft IT combined the Enterprise Search feature in Office SharePoint Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, custom-developed Web Parts, and integration with other line-of-business services and applications into its enterprise search services solution. Developing and deploying this solution provided the following benefits: read Deploying and Supporting Enterprise Search (P. Erol GIRAUDY).

SharePoint Server 2007 Code Sample: Item-Level Auditing

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides auditing by default but it does not give the ability for a non-administrator to view the auditing history of a specific document or item in a list. This code sample shows a developer how to extend this auditing functionality to create an item-level auditing view in three different ways: using a custom SharePoint list, through the Excel client, and by manipulating the open XML file format to display auditing history using Excel Services on an application page. It is accompanied by a thorough white paper describing the code as well as a setup document.
