I came across what I find to be a pretty big security risk when you’re working with multi tenant SharePoint environments. Basically, it’s pretty simple. When you set up your environment and create a tenant, you have to specify the OU in which the accounts for this tenant live. This makes sure that your users cannot

Eens in de twee jaar sta ik weer voor een enorme opgave: het kiezen van een nieuwe telefoon. Wellicht denk je “ach, als dat je grootste probleem is…”, gelijk heb je. Maar toch, als gadgetnerd is het gewoon moeilijk om uit al het moois de juiste keuze te maken. Gelukkig zijn er de vrienden van

The blog you’re reading right now is powered by WordPress. WordPress is a well known blog engine used for a lot of blogs. But for me, being a Microsoft dude, it’s not that easy extending it and making it my own. That always kept me from creating my entire website in WordPress somehow, never had

One of our environments is one that was upgraded from MOSS 2007. In that transition, BDC changed to BCS and we didn’t really take care of that because we weren’t using BDC that much. One of the lists got migrated and stopped working, but because it was in a dark alley on our SharePoint site,

I spent quite some time today on a question I was asked. In an existing solution, we added a custom action (button) to the standard menu (the dropdown menu on your account name in the right upper corner of a site). This button was a “Add site to favorites” custom solution. The request was: can
