Enable Anonymous in Microsoft SharePoint 2007
2007-11-18 13:16:00
Since more clients are asking me about the same issue, here is the answer below!Even though Microsoft has done a great job on improving the user interface in SharePoint 2007, some things are still buried and require a little "black magic" to get done. In this entry I'll show you how to enable anonymous access on your site.First, you need to enable anonymous on the IIS web site (called a Web Application in SharePoint land). This can be done by:Launching Internet Information Services Manager from the Start -> Administration Tools menu Select the web site, right click and select Properties Click on the Directory Security tab Click on Edit in the Authentication and access control sectionInstead we'll do it SharePoint style using the Central Administration section:First get to your portal. Then under "My Links" look for "Central Administration" and select it. In the Central Administration site select "Application Management" either in the Quick Launch or across the top tabs Selec...

F# (Functional Programming on .NET Board)
2007-10-28 23:17:00
Soma had the news today. F# is an official .NET language now! Functional programming becomes a first citizen in .NET :-)Soma wrote: One of the really promising current projects from MSR is the F# programming language, spearheaded by Don Syme. F# stems from the functional programming tradition (hence the 'F') and has strong roots in the ML family of languages, though also draws from C#, LINQ and Haskell. F# is designed from the outset to be a first class citizen on .NET. This means that F# runs on the CLR, embraces object-oriented programming, and has features to ensure a smooth integration with the .NET Framework. I am a big fan of technology transfer between a research organization and a product development organization so that we can "productize" the great research ideas and deliver to customers in a timely manner. This is one of the best things that has happened at Microsoft ever since we created Microsoft Research over 15 years ago. Here is another great example of tech...

Mediaroom Personal Server, available Dec 29
2007-10-28 22:41:00
Microsoft might have just got the Mediaroom party started four months ago, but already dozens of providers around the world are drinking the kool-aid and having a good time. The much anticipated XBOX 360 integration is also crashing in any day now, but Microsoft's got one last party trick, called the "Mediaroom Personal Serve r ".On the generously detailed Microsoft Support Lifecycle's portal, where it lists the support availability dates for all previous, current and upcoming Microsoft products, features an entry for "Mediaroom Personal Server". The general availability date provided is "12/29/2007″. Okay, I have to admit, I have no idea what the Mediaroom Personal Server is. But thanks to Microsoft's ingenious naming conventions, you can't be too far off with a guess either. It is definitely a consumer-orientated software or device bundle, much like Windows Home Server, which serves as an aggregator and hub for your Mediaroom devices.Some of the scenarios I can think of wit...

Running SharePoint Websites in Application Tips for Sys-Admins
2007-10-27 15:45:00
Since I receive a lot of issues with "How many Web Application s can be running in the Same Application Pool ?" .. Here is your answer .. For who has no previous experience on this, Here are some tips for designing your SharePoint implementation:Do not run more than 10 Web applications per application pool until you have some performance monitoring experience behind you and you can point to your own numbers, which tell you that your application pools can handle more virtual servers.Do not plan to run more than 20 Web applications on a single physical server without adding a second Web server (or more) in your farm. The reason for this is because if you're running 20 virtual servers, you've got a growing, busy farm and chances are good that you should scale out before you scale up.Always purchase servers with 4 GB of RAM to give yourself maximum flexibility in memory allocation for your application pools.Make each application pool a Web garden with two or three worker processes asso...
