Tweet I consider myself a calm person with plenty of tolerance, I believe in productive discussion and love it – Part of my job as a consultant is to talk with Teams and explain them why you should choose a specific product over another, in 99.9% of those meetings there is one guy that don’t like the change (No One Like Changes) and you need in a calm way to explain and show him the benefits of the new tool – Forcing someone to do something is never a good thing. But sometimes there is no wining...

Tweet First, what is the Build Service Host or IBuildServiceHost ? The BuildServiceHost object represent the physical location of the Controller and/or Agent objects. The name property is usually the machine name that the Controller or Agent lives on. In earlier versions, this was simply the Machine Name property on the Agent.

Tweet A long time ago I wrote about SharePoint 2007 Files Restore Tool , tool that allows you to connect to SharePoint content database (not need to have SharePoint installation) and extract documents.

SharePoint upgrade/migration can be unpleasant and sometimes I prefer to do...
