Information Worker 2010 (beta) Demo VM

Adlai Maschiach — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 14:58:56 GMT

Information Worker 2010 (beta) Demo VM

The download link is here

Overview

This download contains a two Virtual Machine set for evaluating and demonstrating Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010. Virtual machine “a” contains the following pre-configured software:

Windows Server 2008 SP2 Standard Edition x64, running as an Active Directory Domain Controller for the “CONTOSO.COM” domain with DNS and WINS
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 + CU2 Enterprise Edition with Analysis, Notification, and Reporting Services
Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 R2
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate Edition
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition Beta 2
Microsoft Office Web Applications Beta 2
FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 Beta 2
Microsoft Project Server 2010 Beta 2
Microsoft Office 2010 Beta 2
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 Virtual machine “b” contains the following pre-configured software:

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Evaluation Edition x64, joined to the “CONTOSO.COM” domain
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Active directory has been preconfigured over 200 “demo” users with metadata in an organizational structure.
All of these user profiles have been imported and indexed for search within SharePoint Server 2010, with “contoso\administrator” granted administrator permissions.
SharePoint Server 2010 has been configured in a “Complete” farm using Kerberos authentication and the default SQL Server 2008 instance for data, and has a site collection created using the Team Site template at http://intranet.contoso.com/ and a FAST Search Center at http://intranet.contoso.com/search/.
Performance Considerations:

If possible, unpack and run the VM image on a separate, fast hard drive (7200 RPM or better) from the operating system of the host machine. If this is being done on a laptop, a second internal drive or external eSATA drive works best, though USB 2.0 (make sure it's 2.0, 1.1 is too slow) or Firewire is acceptable. For absolute best performance use a second internal SSD drive. Passwords for all users in the CONTOSO AD are "pass@word1" (remove quotes) (including the Administrator account).

Instructions

Start Hyper-V Manager from Control Panel -> Administrative Tools
Confirm that the local host machine appears in the Hyper-V Manager list and select it if not already done
Under Actions, click Virtual Network Manager.
Confirm that you have created an Internal virtual network named “Internal”. Internal networks limit connectivity to only VMs and the host. If a suitable not, create one now using the following steps:

Click on Virtual Network Manager in the Actions pane
Choose New virtual network in the Virtual Networks pane
Choose Internal from the type list and click Add
Enter a name of Internal and click OK v. Start menu -> right-click Network –> Properties
Click Change adapter settings
Find the adapter with a description of Internal, right-click and choose Properties
Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 and enter the following values:

IP address: 192.168.150.6
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: (leave blank)
Preferred DNS server: 192.168.150.1

Click OK

Close the Virtual Network Manager dialog.

Under Actions, click Import Virtual Machine
Use the Browse button to select the folder where the virtual machine package was extracted. Do not check
Click Import and wait for the Import to complete – the import status will appear in the Operations column
Select the newly imported virtual machine and click Settings in the right pane of the Hyper-V Manager
Confirm (and correct if necessary) that the Network Adapter is connected to the Internal network from step 1d.
Close the virtual machine Settings dialog.

SharePoint 2010 (Beta) Developer Center

Adlai Maschiach — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:00 GMT

SharePoint 2010 (Beta) Developer Center

Although the new Developer Center is out SharePoint 2010 (Beta) Developer Center.
( because of the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2009 )

… and the new name for WSS ( Windows SharePoint Services ) would be SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Beta)

I still haven’t found an official “you can download a trial” edition of the Beta edition SharePoint Server 2010 (Beta) :’(

( I know I have one , but this is for all of you who want it too )

Any way , you have this for now :

General Comment : The OFFICE is still in the there, in the name of the Server , unlike previous posts - Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Beta in July (aprox.) , Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 – Sneak Peek

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 – Sneak Peek

Adlai Maschiach — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:00:46 GMT

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 – Sneak Peek

As expected, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Beta in July (aprox.), information about the new Microsoft Office Server 2010 is starting to appear on the web. And the best place to start is, of course, the SharePoint Website ;)

First, lets start by the fact that there’s a new “site” for the product - http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/2010/ ( which for now leads to an Moss2007 error page :D )

And now lets us continue to the Sneak Peeks’ site
http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/2010/Sneak_Peek/Pages/default.aspx

From there you can manage ;)

But, the main there’s a Developer documentation for SharePoint 2010
SharePoint Products and Technologies: 2010 (Technical Preview) Developer Documentation

This download contains the following pieces of developer documentation:

White paper: Customizing the Ribbon in Windows SharePoint Services “14”: The Ribbon is now included in the user interface for Windows SharePoint Services “14” and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. This white paper describes how developers extend it using a combination of XML and ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript). Customizations to the Ribbon in the included example are created using the Feature infrastructure, and can be deployed using a solution package (.wsp file). This white paper is provided in both PDF and XPS format.
SDK: SharePoint Products and Technologies 2010 Managed Reference SDK (Technical Preview): This compiled help (.chm) file contains reference topics focusing on types and members new to the SharePoint 2010 object model that are called by other Microsoft applications. This reference does not reflect the entirety of the SharePoint Products and Technologies 2010 managed object model.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Beta in July (aprox.)

Adlai Maschiach — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:10:35 GMT

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Beta in July (aprox.)

For those of us who’ve been ( or seen Microsoft Office System Developers Conference 2006 Videos ) the Microsoft SharePoint Conference of 2006, know that in the demos you saw the Beta of both Office 2007 & Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
Based on that, and on the fact that from the Office 2010 Movie , the Office 2010 Beta will be realsed on July – The beta of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 will be on the same time ( as well as Microsoft Project Sever 2010 ).

Want more proof ? who’s this as a title Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 beta in two months. Not only that, but is seems that the IT part of the SharePoint product has reached enough confidence to open it’s own blog - Microsoft Office 2010 IT Blog ( something that most of us used to do by reading Joel Oleson's Blog ). To make things complete - Microsoft Office 2010 Discussion Forum , now you don’t start a forum unless you have a product & audience , right ?

Changes to expect ? here are just a few

Office 2010: Groove renamed to SharePoint Workspace ( just like FrontPage was turned into SharePoint Designer ;) )
Confirmed: Office 2010 will come in 32-bit, 64-bit flavors (Updated)
SharePoint Server 2010 will be 64-bit only ( on that I wouldn't count – Production will have to be 64Bit , but for development I guess there will still be a 32bit version , VPC style )
New Gemini demo’s dissected – a new to think BI in SharePoint :)

Office SharePoint Server 2007 Product Site NEW!

Adlai Maschiach — Thu, 21 May 2009 11:35:09 GMT

Office SharePoint Server 2007 Product Site NEW!

Based on Silverlight & Moss2007 (http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/Pages/Default.aspx, look at the URL ! ) the new Office SharePoint Server 2007 Product Site was launched.

Thought the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog post on SharePoint on SharePoint: Launch of new website redirects to the previous URL , http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/ , the new URL , http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/Pages/Default.aspx , realy SHOW(s) ME THE MONEY ;) … or in other words , if you believe in the product then show it ! ( especially if it’s the product’s Homepage )

Q&A about Developing for Office and SharePoint Server 2010

The Office Development with Visual Studio blog has just released a nice & short article on the subject: Developing for Office and SharePoint Server 2010 (Christin Boyd)
