RE: [OzMOSS] MOSS 2007 Application Development Exam

[Paul Culmsee]

I agree with you Bill - Microsoft need an advanced level SharePoint 
certification.

 

But here’s the thing. Microsoft do get tough when they want to. I was a Cisco 
CCNP from 2003-2006, but the CCNP exams were actually not as hard the one-off 
NT4 MCSE to Win2k MCSE exam. For those that were around at that time, Microsoft 
were stung by the number of ‘paper MSCE’ that were running around doing dumbass 
things. So they made a free exam for any NT4 MCSE to jump straight to Win2k 
MSCE and you only had one shot at it. Fail and you have to sit all MCSE exams 
again. If I recall it was a 4-6 hour sucker and was by far, the single hardest 
vendor cert exam I ever did and I had to take two weeks off work to study it. 
Apparently only 11% people passed it.

 

All the NT4 MCSE whined big time about how hard it was but I wholeheartedly 
supported the increased toughness to try and regain some credibility to the 
MCSE credential. 

 

But in doing the two SharePoint exams (non dev), it feels like they have gone 
back to NT4 MSCE style thinking. It was ridiculously easy and proves very 
little. :-(

Paul

This is the problem with most MS certs.  I'd much prefer that they moved to 
Cisco style exams:
-A short written exam to weed out people who know NOTHING
-4-6 hours to set up XYZ given a set of requirements (architect a farm, setup 
BDC to pull data from a basic webapp, config search with a few scopes, etc)
-Grading by a human examination of results

for more advanced exams you'd have to come in a second day after they 
purposefully break something (change permissions ona file share and tell you 
"search broke" and the like)...


As it is I don't count exams in someone's favor, and someone who's passed 10-20 
I often wonder when they have time for real work :)

I will be giving this a shot early next year and will blo about it and share my

RE: [OzMOSS] PPS files not being indexed

[Matthew Cosier]

Hi Bill,

 

The answer is quite simple – Microsoft /do/ support the PPS file extension.  
They don’t however include it as a default file type inclusion.

 

Content will only be crawled if it’s extension exists in the file-type 
inclusions list *and* there is an IFilter available for it.  Because it’s 
actually a PPT, an IFilter does exist for it, which means you only need to 
include it in the file type inclusion list.

 

You can read more about this here:

Re: [OzMOSS] PPS files not being indexed

[Bill Williamson]

Correct.  They are the same thing, it's just that windows passes a different
command to powerpoint (show slideshow instead of edit).  You can rename them
to ppt, or "file->open" from in powerpoint to edit them.

It's like saying PDFs shouldn't be indexed since they're typcially meant as
read only...

Simple – not many people especially within MS use PPS.  It became popular for 
home users sharing stuff like round robin jokes or photo essays as it will link

ignorant as less likely to hold a virus perhaps?

Re: [OzMOSS] PPS files not being indexed

[Bill Williamson]

Yes, but why would the not include it as a default?  It seems an odd thing
to do.

[OzMOSS] Has anyone had any success with integrating Reporting Services 2008 with Moss on Windows 2008?

[Tom Bizannes]

Guys,

 

Just wondering?

 

I had lots of fun when it was SQL 2005 ...on Windows 2008 server 

Not all the settings show up but it can be done 

Got it working and have blogged about that...

 

Now with SQL 2008 - all is running fine but it won't run as I get
connection issues.

 

Have some suspicion it is to do with http.sys and the 443 connection
might be the trick.

Will knock this off in a week or two but it's a pain right now!

If anyone had any success, it would be good to know!

 

 

Regards,

Tom Bizannes

Sydney, Australia

[OzMOSS] Personalization Site

[Paul Noone]

Hiya,

Does anyone have any idea how this site is meant to be used? Seems almost no 
one is even aware of its existence but the provided description makes it sound 
capable of some wonderful things.

"A site for delivering personalised views, data, and navigation from this site 
collection into My Site."

I've created one and had a go at customisation but can't seem to apply can 
changes to the default page because it's created in the site root and has no 
Page Editing Toolbar - even after adding the necessary tagprefixes. It's also 
not a publishing page. :\

I'd love to see if this site can live up to its description.

Kind regards,

Paul

[OzMOSS] People Search Properties - manager

[Paul Noone]

Hi guys,

Thanks to a helpful post from Ishai I've successfully managed to add several 
custom profile properties to the People Search form options. However I'm 
getting no results for the Manager metadata property despite it seemingly being 
a text value.

I have added the following to the XML for the People Search:

urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:portal:profile:Manager

And the Manager metadata property has the following mappings:

People:Manager(Text)
Ows_Manager(Text)

I know it's properly mapped as the Organisation Hierarchy works just fine.

Kind regards,

Paul
