| Wow. Super late again. And this time it's my fault. No excuses. Too much travel, and I expected Microsoft to be late again. Not this time. Spring arrived on time! So did the April 2012 updates.
Here's a bunny I saw in California. Did that distract you? No?

In August 2011, Microsoft changed the process for rolling out Cumulative Updates. CUs are now packaged for each particular platform – SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server, Or Project Server. So, if you're installing the August 2011 or later CUs on SharePoint Server – you don't need to separately install the Foundation CU first – that is now fully packaged into the Server CU. Saves at least ten minutes!
Also, remember that the December 2011 (and subsequent!) CU's introduce some new features – most notably, iPad support for much of the Performance Point / Business Intelligence tools. There's also been some discussion at conferences that they introduce some Managed Metadata Service weirdness when deleting MMS fields from existing document libraries, so be advised.
SharePoint 2010 release numbers can be found similarly to how you find them in 2007 - just go to Central Admin | System Settings | Manage Servers In Farm. Or, in PowerShell, use:
(get-spfarm).buildversion

SP3 included all the cumulative updates issued through August 2011. So, a full server installation, fully updated, should follow this install sequence:
- WSS SP3
- MOSS SP3
- WSS February 2012 CU
- MOSS February 2012 CU
A reminder -- SharePoint 2007 Service Pack 2 is now a required prerequisite – SP1 is no longer supported. If you ever need to confirm which update/revision of SharePoint you are running, without accessing the binary files themselves, you can find this in SharePoint Central Administration. Go to the Operations tab, and under Topology and Services, select Servers in Farm.

I'm fortunate to able to attend a number of SharePoint conferences and events around the world. These events, whether run by companies or volunteers, are professional, high quality events. They're a huge part of the reason why the fanatical SharePoint community is like no other in technology. (Would you line up at 8am on a cold rainy day for Excel Saturday?) Learning from other attendees is one of my favorite things.
But as my tally of speaking events has grown, my "gift" collection of polo shirts, messenger bags, backpacks and similar swag has mushroomed. It's a gateway drug. A few spare shirts for painting or kids projects, now leads to quarterly goodwill donation trips. My kids can't use anymore blinking tchotchkes or animated robots. And hundreds of other people are in the same spot. What should we really be doing with all this stuff, I've wondered.
And then I was talking to a good friend who helped cleanup after a recent event. Attendees received a tote bag with a tshirt, bag inserts, white papers, product info sheets, pad and paper. Nothing new here - except that the organizers were diligent, and prepared for large crowds. Hundreds of folks came, but there were still probably a hundred unclaimed tote bags at the end of the day, and another hundred or so left behind or discarded.
That's a lot of stuff! And it got me to thinking – what are we doing making all this "cargo"? So much stuff – wasted.

I pride myself on working in an industry – technology – that can be a tremendous force for good, and for change. The information we share enables change. More directly, electronic media reduce the reliance on paper for printing and fuel for shipping things. But what are we doing?
Personally, I greatly enjoy mountain hiking away from cities. I believe in both the Native American concept to "walk lightly on the land", and my old Boy Scout troop rule to leave campsites better than we found them. Are we in the SharePoint world walking lightly? Are we leaving things better than we found them?
I recently encountered a new word – biodynamic -- which describes practices that are not just organic but sustainable. So how do we make SharePoint more sustainable?
This year, organizers of SharePoint Saturday Johannesburg launched the first ever "green" SharePoint Saturday. They've committed to recycled paper, eco-sustainable sourcing, and a carbon neutral event. Huge congratulations to Veronique Palmer and the rest of the event team for this.
As a leader of a consultancy and a software maker, I appreciate the value of marketing. It's good to have a canvas for our logos, and a means to distribute our content. And sponsorship dollars are essential to keeping the cycle of community events running. I don't want to "bite the hand the feeds". But there has to be a better way. Here are a few ideas:
- Less is more. Do we REALLY need so many hats, tshirts and polo shirts? It's helpful to be able to visually identify speakers and volunteers at events. Sometimes, stickers, buttons, badge colors or pins might be a better option. Or at least find a "green" source for the shirts.
- Electronic distribution of vendor and session handouts. Most events already have a website for vendor logos – expand on that! They don't get lost afterwards. People also like thumb drives, and you can fit a lot more content on a thumb drive than in a bag.
- High quality WiFi. If you can get to the materials live during the event or during a session, you don't need to print them in advance.
- Water. If you can, try to get a sponsor to cover water coolers and paper cups, instead of water bottles. There was an event last year that had to ship water in from Amazon.com. I hope we can do better.
- Opt-out. If you can opt out of receiving email during event registration, you should be able to opt out of paper. Offer an option of donating the cost, possibly with a sponsor match, to an appropriate charity. Tree-planting for carbon offsets, or local homeless services seem like good candidates, and there are many, many more.
- Just say no. As an attendee, ask for electronic versions of material. You don't actually need to take every event bag, hat, or paper that's thrust on you. If people stop taking so much stuff, maybe we'll stop making so much.
It's not much, really, and it may not make a huge dent in the growing trash dumps of the world. But we have to start somewhere. Please help.

| Last weekend, I was honored to be asked to present a session on SharePoint farm optimization and acceleration at SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities. It was a fantastic event, with over 500 folks coming out on an unseasonably warm early spring afternoon in Minnesota. Kudos to Sarah Hesse and the local organizing committee. Especially for holding an event so close to indoor roller coasters. Anyway, a lot of fantastic content, which I'd expect from such a dynamic community,

My presentation can be downloaded here. And although I didnt cover it, a great accelerator for many SharePoint sites – Quest's own RBS/EBS Provider, Storage Maximizer 2.0.
There was one particular comment during a presentation, though, that I wanted to call out. One speaker, discussing SharePoint social adoption, suggested that training doesn't need to be part of an adoption plan. He noted that Facebook and Google are highly successful sites, and no one needs to be trained before using them.
I think that's really missing the mark. Facebook and similar sites aren't just initial points of entry for online technology. They represent the culmination of thousands of hours in usability tests and product engineering. Even so, there are still lots of functions and features that require care and handholding. For example, I spent time yesterday explaining the difference between the Wall and the Timeline on Facebook.
SharePoint is more than a raw IIS site, to be sure – but it usually has additional configuration and customization to make it match business needs. Should it be intuitive? Of course! But that's not simple, and still doesn't get you off the hook for providing good user guidance.
I've been writing a lot this year about the importance of governance to user adoption – and how much user guidance and confidence are critical success factors. Remember, your enterprise contains diverse learning styles. For everyone who just wants to discover SharePoint on their own, others want to be shown, or to be taught, or to read about it. Don't underestimate the value of general training on the platform itself, as well as your particular, unique solution.
I'm getting ready for Quest's Experts Conference in San Diego next week. Hope to see you there!

| Here I am again, installing SharePoint 2010 on a new demo image yet again – and I ran into a new issue. After the base installations and launching the gray wizard (SharePoint Products Technologies Wizard), I ran into a big hiccup. I saw this lovely error:
Could not find stored procedure 'sp_dboption'
Installation issues? In SharePoint 2010? What is this, 2009 all over again? How retro!
RetroTurntable, from Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/cmcnulty/7094883343 (c) 2012 Christopher F. McNulty
And then I remembered that I had updated my image to use SQL Server 2012. On SQL 2012, SharePoint needs to be updated to at least Service Pack 1. Problem solved! See, it was new, after all.

| Spring is here, and summer awaits. And speaking of waiting, sorry it's taken twice as long to get the word out on the February March 2012 Cumulative Updates. Microsoft pushed the release out until the first week of March 7 (see here) -- and I've been on the road most of the time since then. I was honored to keynote the ICC SharePoint Conference in Ohio – and then the Australian SharePoint Conference in Melbourne. What a place! The Grand Prix was in town while we were there – it's an incredibly vibrant and energized city. And the conference was filled with fantastic content and really eager, engaged attendees. Thanks again to Debbie Ireland and her team for organizing a fantastic event. (My decks are already posted.)

| Welcome back, SharePoint 2007 fans! Microsoft was a little late with the announcements for the February 2012 Cumulative Updates (it run into March). I've had a busy month so far, speaking at the ICC SharePoint Conference in Ohio and the Australian SharePoint Conference in Melbourne. But I'm back now, ready to share the photographic and technological love. Australia is wonderful - worth the 20+hours it takes to fly there from the Eastern US. I'll skip the more obvious photos of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Here's one of the area beaches. I'll paraphrase 'Game of Thrones', and just say – summer is coming.

| Hi and welcome to this year's SharePoint Conference Australia! Debbie Ireland and her crew have been assembling a top flight event here in Melbourne, and it's an honor to be among many esteemed speakers and vendors. Melbourne is a beautiful city, and we've been lucky to be here the same time as the Formula One Grand Prix. Still, we know who the top performance crew is this week!
Here's my schedule:
Tuesday 20 March 2012
- 11:45am IT Pro Track – Tales from the Field – SharePoint Performance (slides at http://slidesha.re/GASocZ )
- 12:45pm -signing copies of "SharePoint 2010 Consultant's Handbook" at Quest Booth
- 2:00pm – presenting Quest SharePoint Governance Solutions in Vendor Track (slides at http://slidesha.re/GztaOZ )
Wednesday 21 March 2012
- 9:30am SharePoint IDOL – Stay Tuned for Content
Hope to see you here! And Melbourne is beautiful – thanks all for being such wonderful hosts!

| At long last, the February 2012 SharePoint Cumulative Updates have just been released - backdated to March 7, 2012. I'll have more information on this shortly, but for now:
- Microsoft has more information at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2658222
- Version number bingo - if you have 14.0.6117.5002 in your office pool, congratulations - that's the internal build number. If you got that right, better get going on those NCAA basketball pools!
More to come! |

Hi, and welcome to this year's SPTechCon in San Francisco. With keynotes from Jared Spataro, Todd Klindt and Shane Young, and over 100 breakout sessions, it's a fantastic source for SharePoint technical insight. I'm really looking forward to seeing many old and new SharePoint friends next week. For more information, visit www.sptechcon.com.

This year, I have a number of sessions where I'm speaking and moderating. Plus – two book signings, where all you have to do is endure a line and 15 seconds of awkward banter to get a free book! Couldn't be easier!
Monday, February 27
- 1:45pm-3:00pm – Tagging Up - Managed Metadata and Taxonomies in SharePoint 2010
- 4:45 pm Lightning Talk: Control the Chaos (5 minutes or less!)
Tuesday, February 28th
- 3:15pm-4:00pm - Ask the Experts panel - Topic-Admin (with Craig Trulove and John Ferringer)
- 4:00pm-5:15pm - Go Beyond the Numbers: Data Visualization in SharePoint 2010 (with Sadie Van Buren)
- 5:30pm Book Signing "SharePoint 2010 Consultant's Handbook – Field Guide to MMS" at BZMedia Booth
- 6:00pm – Book Signing "SharePoint 2010 Consultant's Handbook – A Practical Field Guide" at Quest Booth 401 (more at Amazon.com)
Wednesday, February 29

During the show, you can find me at the Quest booth. See you in San Francisco! |
