SharePoint 2010 People Search: Did you know that....

After configuring User Profile Synchronization, I found that SharePoint People Search could still not work as the the content source for the user profiles was being denied access.

SharePoint Lookup Fields: Did you know that....

This one time I was trying to figure out why every time I created a SharePoint lookup field, be it programmatically or via the UI in SharePoint 2010 and 2007, which looks up to another SharePoint list field, it would always have a value "none" in it when in use.

SharePoint Alerts: The default 9 "Send Alerts for These Changes " Task List Alerts

Normally, for Specialists that are installing their SharePoint 2010 Demo environments, so as to demonstrate custom solutions to clients, they usually do their installations onto their machines (Laptops) that in most cases are connected to their company domains. So what happens when the Specialist goes home or is at a client site is that, their SharePoint 2010 Search fails to return any results, and the wonder why this is so when not only are there no errors being registered but they also have full permissions on anything they can think of, after all, they did the installation themselves using an account with admin privileges. ;)

SharePoint 2010: Did you know that......Taxonomy feature?

Recently, a lot of people have been faced with the Taxonomy error message that says "The Taxonomy feature (Feature ID “73EF14B1-13A9-416b-A9B5-ECECA2B0604C”) has not been activated" and they wonder why this is so when their installation is so clean, both on site collection features and site features, this Taxonomy feature is not listed, and the administrator ends up activating it via STSADM. Did you know that creating a BLANK SharePoint site collection does not activate the Taxonomy feature? well now you know :), so that you can now include this step in your deployment documentations.
