The SharePoint Conference is coming together nicely! Bookmark the above url to keep up to date on sessions, topics, speakers and everything that will be going on around the conference.
And yes, obviously I'll be holding a few sessions myself. Not telling which ones though :-)
Debbie, Chan and Mark are workring hard to pull off an event that will have the SharePoint community buzzing for ages to come. So make sure to sign up soon, because you can be sure that it will sell out in no time.

Bye Bye ACE Training
Just to let you all know that I won't be found in the training rooms of ACE no more.
But no need to panic! I am still available to give training through my new association with Knowledge Cue. Just in a corporate and not public class room environment. Chan approached me last year and wondered if I was keen on contracting a bit to help out with the lack of SharePoint skills in this city. It fits in perfectly with all the other things going on in my life like Jigsaw, the new magazine we're publishing in Wellington. So expect to see me either working on the new issue of the mag, battling with advertisers, holding SharePoint Workshops, Creating new Solutions and Features, coaching and mentoring archiects and BAs or taking photos of some of the cool events around Wellington.
So if you're looking for some SharePoint training that is worth its weight in Gold, check out www.knowledgecue.co.nz

Content and Structure Reports: All Checked out documents
Ever wanted to see all documents that are checked out right now and deal with them all in one go? Not only the ones checked out to you? here is the CAML syntax for your Content and Structure Reports Library located at the root of your publishing enabled SiteCollection:
<Where><Geq><FieldRef Name="CheckoutUser" LookupId="TRUE"/><Value Type="int">0</Value></Geq></Where>
Simply create a new Item in that list with the above text for the CAML syntax, give it a Title and meaningful description and you're set!
<Where><Geq><FieldRef Name="CheckoutUser" LookupId="TRUE"/><Value Type="int">0</Value></Geq></Where>

Content and Structure Reports: Stale documents
Ever wanted to find out where your unused documents lie in MOSS?
This is the syntax to find all documents that have not been modified in the last year. The field to check against is the Last Modified Date. Best is to use it's ID.
Remember not to have any whitespace in between the tags, especially no CRLF.
The trick here is not to use [Today] but insteadalso use the OffsetDays to go back and forward in time and if you want to make sure that the time is matched, include the IncludeTimeValue="TRUE" attribute. This attribute comes in handy in many cases when you want to check against "Now".

50047 Advanced IT Pro SharePoint Course
Oh man,
I'm so hyped up, it is unbearable. Just finished the last day of teaching this course and can't believe how great this course is. It covers everything you need to know and more. It is jam packed with best practices, advice and tips. Follows best practices, teaches all relevant skills and is fun, fun, fun.
Anybody who wants to know how to get the most out of their MOSS installation MUST go on this course
Anybody who is starting a career as MOSS Admin must go on this course
Anybody who is planning on creating a MOSS infrastructure, is a Enterprise Analyst, Enterprise Architect, Solutions Architect or Information Architect/Analyst must go on this course.
Any MCT who wants to teach 5060 or 5061 should have read this manual thoroughly.
It is the bible for a good SharePoint Architecture. It is the mother of all SharePoint courses!
Always asked yourself how index and query roles affect performance? Wanted to know what actually goes into the SSP Search DB? Wanted to know what Raid configuration works best for the different Application Roles? Wondered how easy or hard it is to setup Database mirroring in combination with SharePoint? It is all in there.
Which Performance counters to monitor (ok, some are missing...), Which Components to worry about, which platforms to choose when architecting your farm. All in there.
How to create your own BDC App config, How to work with scopes, crawl rules, managed properties and different content sources. All in there. Hey even how to create a new search tab.
Get Excel Services up and running, publish workbooks and install Adminisrtator approved infopath form templates. All in there. Best practices when doing capacity planning. Real world scenarios when thinking about content analysis. Good ideas on approaching taxonomy issues.
Geez. there is so much in the course that I actually ended up skipping around 25% of the content across the board and asked the students to read up at home.
I'm soooo looking forward to teaching this course again soon. Shame only two people turned up for the last one, but then I was happy, as it was my first teach and I can experiment a bit when the class is small.
There is no excuse anymore for lousy SharePoint Specialists out there. Anybody who wants to call themselves a SharePoint Specialist and is lacking the knowledge and experience must go on this course.
