This is a continuation of the series Re Imaging SharePoint VMs on the fly.
Once you have finished with the task of preparing the virtual machine, it’s time to create a Windows Image File (WIM) for re-use at a later stage.
Navigate to the folder where you have imagex.exe

Yes, I have been very slack in not uploading my slides from last 3 presentations and I have heaps of excuses… but I will keep the good news in the forthcoming post.
These are my session slides from Microsoft Tech.Ed India 2011 sessions and Australian SharePoint Conference 2011. Read the rest of this entry »
Family and friends have been asking me – what does “In the Cloud” mean? To add fuel to the fire, Apple announced iOS5 and the iCloud. First off, these cloud based offerings are not new. Before we get any further, let’s quickly understand this “cloud”.
In the cloud means your data is stored off-site on a managed infrastructure. In other words, you are out-sourcing your infrastructure team, literally! What out-sourcing?!! Yes, what is wrong with that – it’s just the same with your banks, telcos, insurance companies and any other large conglomerates.
It’s all offshore – not literally, maybe.
In short, not on your infrastructure, not managed by you and no overheads so to speak. Just pay the subscription fees by the month or whatever is on offer and you are ready to go! It’s all hosted for you! Read the rest of this entry »

In short, it was SharePoint lite (workspace) combined with email and the public facing website – all in the cloud – for individuals and small businesses enabling them to get started with a website, email and collaboration platform in the cloud. Read the rest of this entry »
This is one feature you are likely to disable sooner or later. Very recently I saw the first template pop up in SharePoint when you click on More Options to create content.
Back in the days when SharePoint 2010 was in beta and I happened to be at the Ignite Training in Bangalore, I had come across few features that I wanted to disable – for fun!
Yes, it’s coming! If you haven’t heard, read then here is the repeat of the buzz… SharePoint Service Pack 1 is expected to be released in late June, 2011!
I am interested in this service pack more then ever, for a reason – self service recovery of site collections and sites! As a site collection administrator, if your user has deleted a site what options do you have to recover them?
If you have a recent backup (which you would) and on-site (which you should not) then out of the box you can recover the site from an unattached content database… but that’s going to cost – time and resources. Read the rest of this entry »
