Although we have had SharePoint running now for quite a while, since the server rebuild in August we have not had our search service working. We access our local site through http://intranet.domain.co.uk. Works great. The problem with this is that the web address is different to the machine name, and is mapped to the local

Reconnect Just Flickers & Returns
After all that work sorting out my user profiles, and reducing my logon time as far as I can (record is 12 seconds from entering password to a working desktop :-) ) I have found another problem. The clients are booting up fine, pulling the config files from the network and running the right applications.

Group Policy Client Service Failed the Login: Access is Denied
This error has been annoying me for nearly 4 hours now. We have a terminal server for students. All students use a mandatory profile, located on a share so that it can be accessed by all of the servers in the farm. I thought this would be easy to set up, so I did the

Was really beginning to get annoying as any of the suggestions that I found on the MSExchange Team blog did not seem to work. For reference, the site is was on is: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/04/19/437902.aspx After a while of head scratching and null

SharePoint Learning Kit
Just been looking SCORM compliance and how we can use SCORM resources on our existing SharePoint sites. A quick google found the following MS resources on the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK). First of all, the official MS link: http://www.microsoft.com/education/SLK.mspx#E3AAC And a great post by Alex Pearce, of Hillcrest School in Birmingham: http://blogs.technet.com/industry_insiders/pages/introduction-to-scorm-and-sharepoint-learning-kit-slk.aspx I’m really excited

VBScript – Create a shortcut with parameters
Hi, This really is something quite simple, but it has taken me ages to find the answer. And it seems to be something that many people are looking for the answer to and not finding easily. I wanted to create a shortcut using a VBScript, part of an installation script. The program had parameters passed
