The Uphill Battle: July 2015
http://craighumphrey.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 09, 2015. Replicating and then migrating Server 2003 ADAM instance to Server 2012R2 AD LDS. OK, so yes, we're one of those organisations that still have Windows Server 2003 floating around, at least it's all patched up. One of the things we're using it for is an ADAM instance that supplies users/credentials for an Extranet service, though the servers involved are also domain controllers. With 2003 on it's way out (5 days away! But then there's the ADAM instance. This is supposed to work!

The Uphill Battle: April 2013

Tuesday, April 09, 2013. SharePoint and SSRS (integrated mode) gotch-a. Hit a doozie recently. Set up SharePoint 2007 with SSRS 2008R2 (using the SSRS 2008 add-in) in Integrated mode, on the same server (accessing SQL 2008R2 DB and SSAS 2008R2 on another server). Got all the Kerberos sorted (a mission as usual) and then found that somewhere between SharePoint and SSRS the users credentials were being cached, so that every user appears in SSRS as the first user to login (until the session timesout). Thank...

The Uphill Battle: June 2010

Friday, June 04, 2010. SharePoint 2010 RTM - Least Privilege Install - My Experience. WARNING [11/11/2010]: It looks like Google's update to the template and rich text editor has mangled my post, so watch out for instructions that don't make sense or are out of order. I need to replace this whole article now. Update [5/10/2010]: I've actually switched to a script based install, which appears to get around some of the problems that I'm seeing (I think User Profile Syncing is working, nearly! Now things ha...

Monday, April 04, 2011. Microsoft Releases AD FS 2.0 Capacity Planning Spreadsheet - hillarity ensues. OK, so it's been a while since I last blogged, various excuses are the reason. But today I was tracking new downloads from Microsoft, we use their products a lot here at work and that can be both good and bad. I'm involved in a project that will be using AD FS 2.0 and SharePoint 2010, so when I saw that MS had released a Capacity Planning Spreadsheet. Dual Quad Core 2.27GHz (8 cores). Memory and disk sp...

Tuesday, July 23, 2013. USB 20 Memory Stick Performance – An informal benchmarking. OK, so I’ve been getting more and more disappointed in the performance of the various USB sticks I have lying around. I tend to use them for transferring photos, videos and ISOs to and from machines that aren’t able to communicate via a common network (and are are too big to just push up to the likes of SkyDrive. Or for OS installations (e.g. Win7, Win8 and recently Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Edition). While the T...

The Uphill Battle: May 2012
http://craighumphrey.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. SharePoint on mobile: HTML vs Generic App vs Custom App. Here at work we've been working with SharePoint since mid 2006 (SP2007 beta) and most of what we do is based around SharePoint 2010 these days. So with the influx of smartphones and tablets (OK, to be honest, it's largely iPhones and iPads, with a very small sprinkle of Android and WM7 devices) we've been looking at what our corporate response is and how to combat the likes of DropBox. In Office for Mobile). It's nicely bra...

The Uphill Battle: Review: ASUS Vivo Tab RT
http://craighumphrey.blogspot.com/2013/07/review-asus-vivo-tab-rt.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. Review: ASUS Vivo Tab RT. I wrote this a few months ago and have only just noticed that I hadn't published it]. OK, so our great account manager at Microsoft managed to arrange a loan of the ASUS Vivo Tab RT. My boss wasn't interested (he's still smarting from upgrading his personal laptop to Windows 8 Pro) but I was still quite keen to spend some quality time with A) Windows 8 RT and B) a tablet device. Battery life is good, though I found multinational charging plug a little fini...

The Uphill Battle: SharePoint 2013 - Proxies, CRL Checks and the App Store...
http://craighumphrey.blogspot.com/2013/07/sharepoint-2013-proxies-crl-checks-and.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. SharePoint 2013 - Proxies, CRL Checks and the App Store. OK, so I've been messing with SP2013 for a little while now. Built a VM when when it first came out, ignored all the errors and warnings and built a little RSS based workflow. More recently I've been taking it more seriously and have been working with AutoSPInstaller. To get a clean, consistent, working Dev install (single server separate SQL2012SP1). So in comes plan B, set up a non-authenticating proxy, courtisy of Fiddler.
