How Microsoft IT does governance for SharePoint 2010

http://www.slideshare.net/joeloleson/how-microsoft-it-does-governance-for-sharepoint-2010

Office 365: What is it and what do I need to know about it?

Office 365 is a pretty unique name for a product by Microsoft. The story behind it is that Microsoft will be behind your business 24/7/365 when you need it! And if you experience down time with this product, Microsoft will actually reimburse you in cash for that time (99.9% uptime guarantee!). The Office part of the name is obvious: The main product by Microsoft is still Microsoft Office and is widely used by people all over the world.

Note: This newsletter/article is to give you a conversational perspective of this product. It is not intended to tell you every single detail about it. Microsoft does a fine job of it on their sites and I’ll provide the links to those resources on the web.

What does Office 365 consist of?

Think of what you need to run your business usually: Email, Messaging, ways to create and manage documents and other information for your business, Intranet (or some place where employees can share the info), an external web site. Sounds about right? Well, Office 365 provides you with the following:

1. Exchange Online – Each employee in your organization gets a 25GB email inbox. They can use the web browser or the Microsoft Outlook client to manage emails. Very convenient!
2. Microsoft Office Professional Plus applications – Most of the Office 365 plans offer the employees to be able to download the office applications to your desktop/laptop as part of the subscription. That’s a huge deal I think because the Office suites by themselves are not cheap. In addition, each person can also work with their documents online using Office Web Apps functionality.
3. SharePoint Online – This is my favorite part of it! An almost full fledged SharePoint 2010 experience. More on this a bit later.
4. Lync Online – Think of Office Live Messenger or Office Communication Services. If you are familiar with any of these, you have seen parts of what Lync can offer. Instand messaging and live meetings are a snap with Lync.

How much does it cost?

There are a variety of ‘flavors’ that Office 365 offers. The plans are referred to as P1, P2 (for Professionals and Small Businesses) and then E1, E2, E3, E4 (for Enterprise customers). The pricing starts at $6/user/month (isn’t that amazing!). The highest price that I have seen is for E4 which is still only $27/user/month (which is still incredible because this option can help you provide Enterprise voice capability and easily replace your entire PBX system).

How is SharePoint Online different from SharePoint 2010 on-premise?

SharePoint Online provides many of the same SharePoint Server 2010 on-premise Enterprise features. For example, InfoPath Forms Services is included so you can show your InfoPath forms (workflow, form library and list forms) directly in the browser, enterprise search gives you robust search results, My Sites features are also present in SharePoint Online. One notably missing feature from this first release is Business Connectivity Services (BCS). Not to worry! It is in the plans to introduce that soon enough in one of the subsequent releases of Office 365 and since there is no upgrade necessary on your part, it will just magically appear one day and you will be notified about it as a customer.

The main difference you have to keep in mind is that you do not have access to the Central Administration site for SharePoint Online in Office 365. Also, you cannot access the web server files. So basically the SharePoint Server administration is offloaded to Microsoft.

Now here’s a difference you are going to like: In Office 365, you can easily invite others outside your organization to collaborate with you within your site collection. That’s a Big benefit in my mind!

How will I build solutions on top of SharePoint Online?

If you buy into Office 365, SharePoint Designer 2010 is about to become your best friend :-). That’s the main application for making customizations to your SharePoint Online environment. Most of what you can do with SharePoint Designer 2010 in a regular on-premise SharePoint 2010 environment is available with SharePoint Online as well. That’s great news because that provides you tons of customization opportunities.

You will not have access to create farm level solutions using Visual Studio 2010 (VS).  VS can still be used by programmers to develop the following types of solutions on top of SharePoint Online:

• Sandboxed Solutions (scoped to a Site Collection)
• Programming against the Client Object Model
• Silverlight and ECMA Script

Check out the SharePoint Online Developers Resource Center to get a better idea of programming opportunities in SharePoint Online.

How do I get started?

That’s the easiest part. It costs nothing to join the Beta program. Start here and you will have a fully functional Office 365 deployment within minutes! Choose the E3 plan if you are a large enterprise (or want to pretend to be to see how it works :-)) or choose P1 for small businesses. Then you can manage your licenses by inviting your personnel to join you in the environment and start using it right away. Within a few months (or sooner), Microsoft will open up the Office 365 offering for sale. At that time you can decide to keep the environment and start paying for it or let it go.

Also note that if you are already a BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services – the older and far less powerful version of Office 365) customer, Microsoft will guide you to transition your content and people to Office 365.

Additional Material/Info on Office 365

Here’s some additional information to keep in mind and get involved. I’ll send more material on it in the future once ready.

Social Media: Check out the Office 365 Blog, Office 365 Facebook page, and Twitter account to connect directly to the team working on this offering.

PDF kan ikke åbnes direkte i Sharepoint 2010

I Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft tilføjet en sikkerhedsfunktion for at forhindre script injektion sårbarheder forårsaget af buggy klient software. Denne funktion er aktiveret af et nyt HTTP-header kaldet X-Download-Options, der kan indstilles til “no open”. Når denne header er bestået med en vedhæftet fil Internet Explorer 8 vil ikke give mulighed for direkte at åbne filen, i stedet skal du først gemme filen lokalt og derefter åbne den. SharePoint 2010 anvender denne udvidede sikkerhedsfunktion i IE 8 til at blokere for åbning af filtyper den finder sårbar over for scripting eller andre angreb, som f.eks PDF-filer. Du kan ændre SharePoint’s adfærd ved at ændre Browser Filhåndtering mulighed i Web Application Generelle indstillinger af SharePoint 2010. Dine muligheder er eftergivende og strenge, med streng og er standard. Hvis dine brugere kræver, at de åbne filer direkte fra internettet, og du er villig til at tillade ekstra sikkerhedsrisiko, kan du nemt foretage denne ændring din SharePoint webapplikationer

 

 

10 Reasons SharePoint 2010 SP1 Will Rock Your World

. Bill Baer gives us the good SharePoint 2010 SP1 details on the SharePoint team blog. Even more details across the Office family on the Office Sustained Engineering blog.

Here are 10 Reasons I believe SharePoint 2010 SP1 will rock your world, or at least improve it…

1. Site Recycle bin – new capture the site as it’s deleted. Wohoo! This will save tons of unnecessary large database restores. Hmm maybe 200GB databases should be considered.
2. Security enhancements –
3. Reliability enhancements – I think alone this one for what it will do to make User profile sync will be worth making time to upgrade worth it.
4. Storage Reporting for end users – StorMan the interface users had in 2007 to view storage is back and better!
5. Chrome Support for SharePoint & Office Web Apps – Nice! More details on SharePoint 2010 SP1 browser support on TechNet (articles will be updated after release of SP1). You’ll also see better consistency with Project Server browser support.
6. RBS (Remote Blob Storage) – Remote storage support for shadow copies ensuring better reliability and recoverability.
7. New Powershell cmdlet (Move-spsite) for moving Site Collections between databases without moving content back in the db (when using RBS)
8. Project Professional now synchronizes scheduled tasks with SharePoint task lists
9. Improved backup / restore functionality for SharePoint Server
10. Includes all previous monthly cumulative updates
