[Step-by-step] Installing SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 8 Beta

Long time no writing about SharePoint technology because I have been busy lately and have not got time to take care of my blog where I have been considering as my second home.  Additionally, my English writing skill is a barrier as much time as it takes. Not for this reason, I want to keep writing about what I have basically learned. This helps me improve my writing skill much, as well as bring to me a great pleasure when I share my knowledge for the IT community.

As a technology junkie wandering around a complex maze personally called “Technology Maze” that has a bunch of paths represented as specific technologies, I love learning about new improvements of a new product or a technology I’ve focused on. Given that, after getting information about Windows Server 8, which was officially named Windows Server 2012 at the Microsoft Management Summit, as well as taking a glance at some interesting improvements on SQL Server 2012 , I want to learn and write something on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. I may be asked why I don’t select SharePoint 15. My answer is that although I have SharePoint 15 Technical Preview build installed in my computer, however because of NDA, I can’t exposure anything about SharePoint 15. If you want to know when it will be released, read this article: http://rcpmag.com/articles/2011/02/01/the-2011-microsoft-product-roadmap.aspx

We will have great time during the 4th SPSVN at Officience that is one of sponsors continually. The following sessions:

SharePoint Farm Installing Best Practice: Installing SharePoint farm may be easy as some folks are thinking so. When it comes to best practices SharePoint installation, the initial thing we need is to plan hardware, infrastructure. Continually planning security is really important when installing SharePoint farm. All of these considerations or more will be revealed by Mr.Hai, founder of SharePointVietnam.Net that is the biggest SharePoint Vietnam forum.

SharePoint Service Application: we now know that Shared Service Provider makes you, as a SharePoint administrator, feel bad. Service Application in SharePoint 2010 kicked Shared Service Provider out of SharePoint administrator’s mind. Any the initial SharePoint architecture for a deployment must have Service Application topology. It’s worth attending this topic so you can take many advantages from Service Application. Mr. Chung from KMS will share his experiences on this topic.

SharePoint 15 Technical Preview Managed Object Model SDK

We have predicted the next version of SharePoint family maybe called SharePoint 15, or SharePoint 2012, or SharePoint vNext as well. The fabulous new SharePoint folks may be extremely excited is that Microsoft has released SharePoint 15 Technical Preview Managed Object Model SDK.

This compiled help (.chm) file contains reference topics focusing on types and members new to the SharePoint 15 Technical Preview managed object model that are called by other Microsoft applications. This reference does not reflect the entirety of the SharePoint 15 Technical Preview managed object model.

In the article regarding my predictions from SPC11 keynote, I predicted that the next version of SharePoint family would be announced in the SharePoint Conference 2012. If you really want to hear exactly what Microsoft will reveal about SharePoint 15, why aren’t you preparing the trip coming to Las Vegas?

Finally, I would say that you should prepare party and then invite your companion-in-arms to enjoy SharePoint15 cake in the future.

IT System Migration 101 – Part 1

A bad plan or incomplete plan is often worse than no plan at all, or we have all heard that falling to plan is planning to fail. The business is being changed hourly by computing technology, and the releases of new technologies are coming so fast that they make your business goes more slowly if the considerations of improvement aren’t proposed within your organization. However, that’s a part of an innovation of your technology that serves for your business. The other part is how to determine a technology that addresses to the challenge of your business, and how you migrate from existing technology to new technology in order to improve your business.

I’ve seen a few cases that some folks performed the migrations of technology quickly by their technical skills or a particular migration tool. I would call “fast food”.

In the series of technology migration posts, I would want to share my thought as its title clearly makes sense when we are walking on the IT road together. It will be more different than the “fast food”.

Escape from IT maze with paradoxes (Part 1) – Take your time

Moreover, the maze you are trying to find way out has had a massive number of people, who may wipe your mind out, kick you back to starting point due to your unconfident thought.

Working with document stored in SharePoint site using Document Connection

Delivering SharePoint 2010 collaboration solution for a client recently, who wanted to upgrade and migrate MOSS 2007 into SharePoint 2010, was my responsibility. I was responsible for designing fresh architecture for new environment, planning migration project, implementing and training at post-implementation stage. One interesting challenge I had to do was to learn and write guidance on how to use Document Connection ran on Mac OS environment to connect to SharePoint 2010 site.

Microsoft Document Connection for Mac OS enables to simply work with document stored in SharePoint site. In Windows, as you know, a client tool called Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 that enables to share, work on not only document library but also list. Especially SharePoint Workspace 2010 provides real-time automatically synchronization of desktop content. Document Connection for Mac OS has many limited functions, but in my opinion, built-in functions on Document Connection are enough to basically work on document stored in SharePoint document library.
