It’s an honour to be able to announce that I will be presenting at the Australian and New Zealand SharePoint conferences in June.

At both venues I will be presenting 2 sessions, one SharePoint 2010 and PowerShell together with Niklas Goude and one more business focused session talking about lessons learned from successful enterprise implementations.

The conferences are held in Wellington and Sydney the week after. It’s a two day conference with both national and international speakers. If you are in the neighbourhood I can definitely recommend these conferences arranged by a group MVPs and community supporters.

They say that good things come to those who wait. We have waited, and finally we are now pleased to announce that the book that I’m writing together with my collegaue Niklas Goude (http://www.powershell.nu)will be published by McGraw-Hill and will hit the stores later this year. Exactly when is not yet confirmed but I will make sure you get the information!

The title will be PowerShell for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administrators and will be a book in three parts where the majority of the book is hands on examples on how you use PowerShell to administrate SharePoint 2010. As you probably have heard, SharePoint 2010 is shipped with 500+ PowerShell cmdlets for you as an administrator. And even if STSADM is still available PowerShell is what you need to manage to make life easy further on. Those of you who had the chance to attend the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas last year might remember that one of the key things from Microsoft to administrators was -”learn PowerShell!”.

So what we want to do is to go through the fundamentals of SharePoint, PowerShell and then how you combine them to master your SharePoint 2010 environment.

The coming 5 months will be a big adventure for us, it will be fun but mostly it will be many many hours of writing and hard work. Both Niklas and I will blog about the book and how it take shape, but if you are interested in getting the latest updates, sneak peeks of the content and special offers you should sign up for our newsletter. You can register for the newsletter on our web site created specially for the book: www.sharepointandpowershell.com.

I’m really falling behind on my “poll of the month”, and to be honest, it’s not worth the name, so I have decided to change it to “The SharePoint Poll”! By doing that I don’t have to feel bad about not producing a new poll each moth. But still, if you have thoughts or questions [...]

Have you ever been in a situation where you have had a lot of workflows that has been started and ended up in a Error Occurred state? Where you tired of terminating them one by one before you could start the workflow again? Well I was, so I wrote a small and simple PowerShellScript for it.
What the [...]

When SP2 was released almost a year ago there was an update to the Database Statistics Job. What was updated was a rebuild of the database reindex. This was introduced as one of the main improvements in the SP2 and it is. But in some cases the job might not always be as good as it [...]

I ran in to the following problem in a SharePoint Server SP2 environment: The exception message was ‘The process cannot access the file ‘D:\BlobCachefolder’ because it is being used by another process.’
After some troubleshooting and discussions with Microsoft I finally got confirmed that this is a known issue, not very frequent but still. This is [...]
