There is a lot of information on how to link SharePoint 2010 or 2013 to an AD FS instance. But for some reason, most of those blogs include a manual step to enable the newly created authentication provider in Central Admin. I don’t like manual steps, so here is a little script which does the same,

In my previous blogpost I wrote about loading JavaScript files in a SharePoint app. I noted that the order of loading is important and that you can use jQuery to dynamically load the scripts.

I have finally come around to messing around with apps in SharePoint 2013 again. Way too late, I know, but better now than never right? So when I was building this provider hosted app, I wanted to make use of the JSOM libraries. When you check out some of the solutions, you will find code

Today I was looking for my beloved PresentOn / PresentOff option in a fresh install of Visual Studio 2013 update 2.

A lot of customers often ask me about errors displayed in their Central Administration site.

I wanted to purge the contents of a huge document library. Because of the 5000 item limit, using the GUI or explorer view wasn’t posssible any more.

Today I was tasked with creating a partial copy of a web. For those kinds of things, I am very glad I can make use of AvePoint DocAve tooling. Deployment manager and Content Manager are great for copying, moving and doing all kinds of other stuff within or between SharePoint farms. Anyway. After copying my
