May AMITPRO Meeting
Just realised I haven’t posted about this! The last week or so has seen some great weather here in the UK which is part of the reason why my blogging has been so light. I.e – I spent most of the weekend sat outside with a beer in my hand 🙂 Anyway the latest AMITPRO
Missing Server Disk Space
Yesterday we got an alert from a client’s server that it was a running low on disk space. This particular server has a data partition that is about 44GB but in the past they have never got anywhere near this much data I logged onto the server and yes indeed they were pretty low on
Sharepoint Event – 29th April 2008
I had such a busy day yesterday I didn’t get around to posting about this. I spent Tuesday afternoon travelling down to Microsoft’s offices in London (Victoria) with Vijay to attend an event he had organised with Combined Knowledge The idea behind the event is to help educate more about WSS (Windows SharePoint Services) as

Restore a list or library in WSS v2
This might be a pretty obvious tip but hopefully it will help someone! The version of SharePoint that comes with SBS is a little unforgiving if you delete something. Out of the box there is no recycle bin so if something is gone it’s gone. On the backup section of there is document (also available
Calendars and Content Types in SharePoint 2007
Two SharePoint posts in one day! I only recently “got” content types in SharePoint. I’m not exactly sure why I had such a mental block about it but the penny finally dropped and I got quite excited about the possibilities (I’m such a geek) So what I wanted to do was create some content types
