Installing MOSS 2007 from scratch
I am having occasion to rebuild my Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) development server. In fact, I killed it by adding a Business Data Catalog (BDC) that pointed to a table that had just over a million rows… Now, maybe this would not have caused a problem if I was not using a single server deployment with SQL server on the same box…
Connecting to SQL Server using DNS update
OK, I now have the additional SPN’s added to AD that I mentioned in my post and a listing returns: C:>setspn [servername] Registered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=[servername],OU=Member Servers,DC=[domain],DC=biz: MSSQLSvc/spdata.ep-dev.[domain].biz:1422 MSSQLSvc/spdata.ep-dev.[domain].biz:1433 MSSQLSvc/[servername].[domain].biz:1422 MSSQLSvc/[servername].[domain].biz:1433 SMTPSVC/[servername] SMTPSVC/[servername].[domain].biz HOST/[servername].[domain]onet.biz HOST/[servername]

Removing ACL's for dead AD accounts
I have run into a very vexing problem with one of my applications. I was asked to provide an application that would fin all of the permissions set against Active Directory accounts that have been since removed.

Community-Credit feedback
Community Credit is getting a face lift and David Silverlight (yes a man so great that an entire platform was named after him) is asking for contributions to this… So head on over to the community credit forum and get suggesting…
