Utawala ni Mpango wa Masoko Too

3 majibu

Sababu ya sisi kutumia muda sana (au lazima, anyway) working out governance plans is because we want the SharePoint solution to be as effective as possible. We want good infrastructure and rules to keep it humming and safe in case of disaster. We want good security processes to both properly secure the environment but also make it reasonable to manage. We want a good information architecture that will stand the test of time, ideally managing to survive a major organizational change in the company.

To achieve that desirable objective, a governance document and plan can devolve into a bunch of “thou shall” and “thou shall not’s”, kama katika:

  • Thou shall not create SharePoint security group; use AD instead.
  • Thou shall not create folders in document libraries; kutumia aina maudhui na maoni badala.
  • Wewe itakuwa kujenga kila aina maudhui ya hati ya msingi mbali maalum aina desturi msingi.
  • Wewe wala kujenga Jamii habari ya msingi mbali chati kampuni ya leo org.

"Wewe atakuwa" na "wewe wala" hakika kuwa na nafasi zao katika mpango wa utawala.

A more successful governance plan will also have a strong marketing angle. It should sell and justify itself to the maximum extent possible. A truly successful governance plan relies upon the voluntary cooperation of all SharePoint users. (Kuna pindo kesi ambapo ushirikiano wa jamii si zinahitajika, kama vile wakati SharePoint hutumiwa na idadi ndogo sana ya watumiaji kukazwa imeweza; Mimi nina uhakika unaweza kufikiria wengine). If the user community doesn’t buy into your governance plan then it will be partially successful at best.

I use that word “buy” deliberately. The community will buy the governance plan if it’s fundamentally sound and you go to some effort to sell them on it. Selling leads to marketing and that’s why I think that a governance plan should be considered a marketing plan too. Convince your end users that they need to follow the governance plan and they will voluntarily follow it. If you can get a critical mass of people following the governance plan then the plan’s benefits follow and you’ll have a stronger environment for it.

Ufumbuzi: Kuandaa MOSS Audience Anaongeza Wanachama No New

Acha reply

Bottom line: kama unataka kutumia mali profile katika utawala kwa ajili ya kujenga watazamaji, mali lazima kuwa wazi "kwa kila mtu."

I was working with a co-worker yesterday and he was building out a MOSS audience based on a custom user profile property in MOSS. Katika kesi hiyo, mali watazamaji ni jina "SITECD" na kwa mkataba, maduka ya 3 tabia ya kanuni. Alikuwa inavyoelezwa watazamaji na utawala kwamba alisema kwamba kama "SITECD sawa 'ABG'", basi ni pamoja na kwamba user profile katika watazamaji.

Yeye kuanzisha single user profile na thamani ya kwamba na ulioandaliwa watazamaji, but MOSS simply wouldn’t add that user. I noticed that the privacy setting for that profile was set to “me only” (fomu ya vikwazo) and I remembered reading somewhere that property profiles used in rules must be visible by “everyone”. He made that change and that solved the problem.

The really funny thing about this is that I “remembered” reading about this. It was nagging at me this morning for some reason and I realized that I had written a chapter in this book, MOSS Explained: Habari mfanyakazi ya Deep Kupiga mbizi katika Ofisi ya Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007, na kwamba mimi kufunikwa hatua hii katika sura sana niliandika :). I would have thought that every word I wrote in that chapter would be seared into my memory.

Matt Morse anaandika hii up kwa undani nzuri hapa na mimi ni inatazamwa katika sura: http://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/morse_matt/Pages/Post.aspx?_ID=50

Kutumia MSDN (na nyingine) Vikao kwa Support SharePoint

4 majibu

Mimi naweza kuandika juu kwa kirefu kuhusu MSDN vikao, etiquette, kumtaja mikataba, kutafuta, nk. I may do that, kwa kweli. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

Nimekuwa siku za hivi karibuni imekuwa kuwaambia watu kwamba kama wewe kukimbia katika baadhi ya aina ya tatizo na SharePoint mazingira yako, maendeleo ya mradi au nyingine SharePoint kuhusiana shughuli, post a question to the forums earlier in your action chain rather than later. I know for myself that when I have a problem, a number of potential solutions present themselves right away. I order these potential solutions in terms of likelihood, applicability and how easy they are to investigate. I go through that list and by the time I’ve gotten to #10, Mimi nina kufanya mabadiliko ya Usajili wa ufunguo "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Kwa ushauri wa blog kupatikana katika ukurasa 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, Mimi hatimaye baada ya swali kwa MSDN (e.g. hapa: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads).

I suggest that you reverse that approach. Post the forums much earlier in your investigation because:

  • Ni bure na wewe anyway.
  • Hakuna uhakika SLA (ambayo mimi nina kufahamu, angalau).
  • Kwa hiyo, inaweza kuchukua muda mrefu kwa ajili ya watu wa kujibu.
  • Watu mara nyingi wala kujibu hatimaye.
  • Kama kusubiri mpaka 2 au 3 siku baada ya tatizo kwanza zilisikika, wewe ni hofu kwa ajili ya kukabiliana na vikao ni si sehemu nzuri kwa ajili ya msaada wa dharura (isipokuwa wewe ni bahati).

Hivyo, kimsingi, ni rahisi na bure na una risasi nzuri katika kupata aina fulani ya jibu, lakini itachukua muda kupata jibu (tena, isipokuwa wewe ni bahati).

I used to think that I should hold off on looking for community help because I don’t want to waste someone’s time asking for help when I could find it out myself. Some forum moderators and active participants may feel that way, lakini mimi si (angalau, Mimi wala kuhisi kwamba njia yoyote zaidi). I don’t see any downside. The worst case is that you post a question and then answer it yourself some time later, possibly “wasting” some one’s time. I don’t see a big risk in that and there’s value in the researching of questions like that in any event.

Ndogo Kumbuka Kuhusu Microsoft Online Nywila Huduma na Utawala

Acha reply

Nilianza kufanya kazi na Small Microsoft Suite Biashara Tija Online miezi kadhaa iliyopita, but now I have some better reason to be using it.

Mimi bado njia ya kazi yangu ya kuzunguka, hivyo mimi inaweza kuwa kupata baadhi ya makosa ya istilahi, lakini kimsingi kuna aina mbili kuu interfaces: kituo cha utawala na huduma za wenyewe.

mfumo alikuwa akiniambia kwamba mimi alikuwa na mabadiliko ya password yangu, so I went ahead and did that. That allowed me to proceed and work with the services part (SharePoint, email, na kuishi mkutano). Hata hivyo, wakati mimi akaenda screen utawala, itakuwa si basi mimi katika, kwa kuniambia kuwa hawakuamini password yangu ilikuwa sahihi.

The behavior was a little odd. If I entered the password I *thought* it should be, it would blank out the userid and the password and tell me the password or userid was incorrect. If I entered a blatantly wrong password, ingekuwa uniambie huo, lakini kushika user ID shamba intact.

Nimekuwa kucheza karibu na hii kwa muda kidogo na hatimaye kuitwa (ndiyo, Jumapili asubuhi). Incredibly, wenzake, Ben, answered the phone right away. Na, Sikuwa na kuingia kadi ya mikopo.

Muda mrefu hadithi fupi, the administration center password uses different password rules than the services password. Admin password must contain alpha, numeric and special characters. When I changed my admin password the first time, Mimi hawakufuata kwamba utawala (wala alifanya hivyo kuonya mimi!). I was able to change it to a valid administration password and got back in.

Kama uzoefu kwamba aina ya tatizo katika siku zijazo, unajua nini kazi kwa ajili yangu na hopefully itakuwa kazi kwa wewe.

SharePoint kama Operating System Biashara

2 majibu

Tangu nikasikia quote, zimeripotiwa wakati Q&kikao cha pamoja na Steve Ballmer Machi 2007, I’ve sort of been holding my breath for something to happen. The quote was basically this: “SharePoint is an operating system for business applications.” Knowing a fair bit about SharePoint and a middling bit about operating systems, I thought it was really apt. I’m holding my breath, waiting for companies to really buy into that concept and start to build applications within the SharePoint “operating system.”

Nimekuwa kujitoa mengi ya mawazo kwa somo hili mwaka huu (kwenda nyuma yangu 2009 utabiri) na mimi nina kwenda kuzungumza juu ya hili katika Mei 2 SharePoint Jumamosi tukio mjini Washington.

Hii ni abstract mada yangu, haki "Kutumia jukwaa SharePoint Kujenga Maombi Biashara Wima":

"Horizontal?"" Wima?"Ni nini maana ya maneno haya katika mazingira SharePoint? SharePoint, kama sisi mara nyingi kusikia, ni "jukwaa" kwa ajili ya maombi ya jengo. Kweli hii ni mara nyingi kupotea juu yetu tangu makala kinachojulikana usawa jukwaa, kama vile hati ya usimamizi na kutafuta, are so easy and useful in and of themselves. Hata hivyo, SharePoint ni hata nguvu zaidi na kurudi zaidi thamani wakati kutumika kujenga maombi wima kulengwa ili kukidhi siku ya biashara yako 'na mahitaji ya siku. Kikao hiki inaelezea jinsi ya kukusanyika makala jukwaa katika ufumbuzi verticalized kutumia ulimwengu halisi ya biashara mfano - usimamizi wa mauzo quote mchakato na lango mteja. lengo ya msemaji ni kufungua macho yako na uwezekano wa jukwaa SharePoint na kwa faida ya makala yake usawa jukwaa kujenga ufumbuzi wa biashara maalumu kwa ajili ya asasi yako wima.

Kama somo kwamba haina kuelea mashua yako, there are a bunch of other good topics. And DC is a great venue in and of itself to visit.

Usajili kuufungua hii Alhamisi, 04/16. Fuatilia tovuti na kunyakua kiti kabla ni kuchelewa mno 🙂

Dakika ya Canada

1 Kujibu

This time last week, I was in Montreal, attending the highly recommended SharePoint Summit 2009. I gave a 3.5 hour tutorial on installing and customizing SharePoint. It was a scary subject on many levels. I’m not really a SharePoint admin, but I know enough to give a tutorial on the subject. (Nashiriki, Geoff Schaller from Software Objectives in Australia, among a few others, was in the crowd to answer some of the deeper questions [I don’t know what they put in the water down there, but we need some of it here in the U.S.]).

Lakini, back to many levels of scariness… It had a lot of potential to be very boring. I actually installed WSS and then upgraded it to MOSS. In front of a room full of people. Canadian poeple. There were long 5 na 7 minute gaps where we were watching the installation process chug along. I needed to fill that time with something useful and interesting. I’m not sure I succeeded.

Hatimaye, it was loooong. Three and one half hours. That’s a long presentation. I made a little joke of it, saying “We have a long presentation ahead of us. Three and one half hours. That’s 210 dakika. And I don’t even know how many minutes that is in Canadian.”

Everyone laughed and as a result, Montreal ni rasmi kwenye orodha yangu nzuri Maeneo 🙂

Even if they hadn’t laughed at my joke, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from South Park, but I admit, to my chagrin, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, when it’s a little warmer, to visit again.

On a sort of related note, I also sat through Erik Swenson’s first public presentation entitled “IA and Branding Process: Sketches to Wireframes to Hi-Fidelity Designs.” (Erik is my EMC colleague). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. I even recorded it for for him. I tried several times for some “action shots” and zoomed in on him when he paused to drink some water. I didn’t always succeed, lakini mimi walijaribu 🙂
