Јас бев еден од 20 или 30 (или можеби 100?) панелисти синоќа во Њујорк SharePoint Група на корисници meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, ова беше за сите П&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Мајкл Lotter ме запозна со нова идеја и сакав да го споделам.

An audience member described how his company had paid a consultant to write an application for his company. The consultant wrote it as a console application using the SharePoint object model. Како резултат на, this meant that the program had to be run on a server in the farm. This meant that anyone that wanted to use the app would have to log onto the server, do the work and log off. На прв, ова не е проблем, но наскоро, се повеќе и повеќе (не-технички) users needed to use the utility. His question was (парафразирајќи):

"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, но тие треба дека функционалноста."

Мајкл Lotter сугерираше дека тој го конфигурирате нова виртуелна машина, join it to the farm as a WFE and let users run the application from there.

This is a pretty stunning idea for me. Generalizing this solution brings to mind the notion of essentially temporary, almost disposable WFE’s. I think it’s a pretty neat concept. This temporary WFE can run a console application that uses the SharePoint object model. You could also use it to run stsadm commands. It doesn’t have to be part of regular local balancing. If it goes down or gets wrecked, you can just spin up a new one. I repeat myself, но јас само да кажам дека мислам дека е навистина уредни идеја.
