I’ve been doing a lot of work with content type hubs and sharing them between multiple SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 farms.  The main thing I took away from this experience is that.  Content Type publishing is easy to break and hard to...
Quite some time ago, I wrote about how to set default column values using C#.  However, I find it useful to work with them using PowerShell quite often.  The reason being, I often use this as a utility to work set default column values on document...
I’ve suffered through my share of SharePoint upgrade / migration projects now and I have really changed the way I look at them.  Often when you get exposed to a new system, the lack of governance has led to a total mess with site sprawl as far as...
The great thing about living in Texas is that there is three SharePoint users groups less than three hours away from me.  I’m excited to have the opportunity to be speaking in Austin twice in the next couple weeks.  The first talk is tomorrow...
At SPC12 , I gave a talk about PowerShell in SharePoint 2013.  In that talk I upgraded a SharePoint 2010 site collection to SharePoint 2013.  I wanted to follow-up with a blog post showing the steps involved.  To begin the process, I have...
I was digging through some new PowerShell cmdlets for one of my talks coming up at SharePoint Conference 2012 (SPC12), and I stumbled upon the new cmdlet Import-SPEnterpriseSearchPopularQueries .  I found this cmdlet to be interesting since it can...
Windows 8 recently hit RTM and became generally available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers in the last couple of weeks.  If you run Windows 8 Enterprise, one new feature you gain is the ability to use Hyper-V.  I personally was excited to try...
Thanks to everyone who attended my Office 365 Lync and Learn session last week.  I enjoyed the opportunity to show everyone how they can use Visual Studio 2012 RC to get started with SharePoint Online development.  I’ve attached a link to my...
I was recently doing a SharePoint migration project and one of the tasks I was trying to do was copy SharePoint designer workflows (plus history) to a new SharePoint server.  We weren’t doing a database attach in this case because we were significantly...
TechEd North America ( #msteched ) is just next week in Orlando, FL.  This is my first TechEd and I’m excited to see what’s in store.  With any conference, it’s always best to be prepared.  You want to make sure you bring the right things...
It’s true.  I admit it.  I have a sickness.  I am a SharePoint person and proud of it.  I’m attending Microsoft TechEd in Orlando next week (and in Amsterdam at the end of the month) for the first time.  Although I am a noob to...
I’ve been writing a series of posts about SharePoint development using Visual Studio 11 Beta for a while.  Since I have written quite a few posts now, I thought it would be useful to compile all of them here in a list if you want to review what’s...
I’ve posted a number of articles about Visual Studio 11 to date and today’s article talks about the new SharePoint Project Item, Site Definition.  This is a new SPI available in Visual Studio 11.  Previously, you had to create site definitions...
One of my most popular posts on DotNetMafia.com is my post on using PowerShell to add and deploy SharePoint solution packages (.wsp files).  However, in that post, I never went in detail in deploying sandboxed solutions.  Today, I want to talk...
I love me some PowerShell.  I use it a lot in the context of SharePoint 2010, but I use it just as much on my own laptop.  If you have been administering and configuring SharePoint enough, you have become accustomed to the shape and size of...
