I have seen this question pop-up in the forums and I think I also got an email from one of my blog readers asking how they can move a site collection from one database to another database.
This can be done via SharePoint 2010 Management Shell [aka PowerShell] and this is what you need to do.
Early this week on site deploying SharePoint 2010, the client wanted to create few site collections for their development team. He tried to create using the Central Administration and could not see any options for creating SharePoint site collections in their own databases!
Well, that’s not news to all of us in the SharePoint World! Is it?
In recent weeks, SharePoint 2010 deployments have kicked off and I am collecting as much information as possible and will be sharing them here as time permits.
Just saw this on the MSDN Forums today and I think this one ‘trick’ I must make a note of such, just in case.
This is an unusual request, but a valid one, since I strongly believe and advise (since SharePoint 2007 days – geez sounds antiquated!) that social aspects aka My Sites should be the last thing to be switched on in a SharePoint roll out… especially when the organisation and IW’s are just embarking on their SharePoint journey. That’s my opinion based on my experience here.
Well to track back to this forum thread, the requirement was to Remove "I like It" , "Tags & Notes" 
Solution
From Central Administration
Navigate to System Settings
Manage Farm Features (_admin/ManageFarmFeatures.aspx)
Deactivate the Social Tags and Note Board Ribbon Controls
OR
From SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
Disable-SPFeature –Identity SocialRibbonControl
That’s it!
This morning I came across this post in the SharePoint 2010 forums. Although it’s nothing critical, it’s good to know the workaround!
It’s Saturday here in Australia and I am just back from one of the theme parks on the Gold Coast. I had a great day out with the family! However, the icing on the cake was the email I read this evening when waiting for one of the shows to start! The email was from the Microsoft Certification team –
“Congratulations on Your Microsoft Certification!”
This is a known and personally experienced issue (Tech Preview and Beta Builds as well) with Datasheet View not working in SharePoint if you have Office 2010×64 clients installed on your workstation.
Again this is one of the FAQ on the MSDN Forums and today I saw the solution posted on the thread, so comes this post for my reference and in case you experience this, then you know what is the solution to the issue.
