  • Email Enabled List Alias Management

    Ever notice that there is not way to centrally manage or get information about email aliases?  Oh that annoys me!  So I did what any self respecting geek would do, and I started taking it apart...  Here are a couple SQL utility scripts to help you get more out of your SharePoint! ...

  • SQL 2005 Embedded Edition... What the heck is that?

    So I ran in to a copy of SQL 2005 Embedded today... first time I've seen it. It was on a MOSS install that some folks were testing, and they wanted the content moved over to our Production environment. No Problem, says I...
