Don't miss the Australian SharePoint Conference for 2010, proudly sponsored by Microsoft and leading partners, and organized by members of the Australian and New Zealand SharePoint community. For details and registration, visit the following site:
21/11/2009Laurel Papworth, well known and respected social media strategist, will present at next week's Sydney Business and Technology User Group (SBTUG) here in Australia.
If you want to know what's happening in the latest online social and media trends, such as the open source tools like Twitter, Facebook, blogging and others, then this session is a must for you. Also, if you're wondering how you can make the most out of social networking, such as business benefits, i.e. promoting your own business and profile using online tools, then you'll benefit by attending this session.

And, I think you'll find that we're also combining our Christmas party with the same event so if you come along expect some Christmas cheer!
17/10/2009If you work with SharePoint, then you probably also get to work with lots of other related servers and applications, like Exchange. Recently I moved Exchange 2007 SP1 over to a Windows 2008 R2 server/domain only to discover it didn't work properly - well, it kind of did but there were some issues - and then realized that it is not officially supported running on a Windows 2008 R2 machine. So, I chose to boldly move to Exchange 2010, which is supported on Windows 2008 R2.
But...
-------------------
"An error occurred. The error code was 3221685466. The message was The service is already registered.."
while trying to uninstall Exchange 2007 SP1 Mailbox role from Server 2008 R2 (RC in my case)
try changing registry key value from "Uninstall" to "Install" located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\v8.0\Mailbox\
after that try uninstalling again.
----------------
But...
I forgot to reboot the server following successful removal of Exchange 2007 SP1 and subsequent install of Exchange 2010 failed. So, I rebooted the server and reran my Exchange 2010 install.
Next...
Install was mostly successful but my Exchange Server Information Store wouldn't start. I was getting an error message "Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. Failed to find the working directory parameter from the registry - Error 0x80004005". The Exchange databases were in an unmounted state and I wasn't able to mount them. In order to resolve this issue, I needed to modify my server's registry. This post here - http://www.petri.co.il/errors_after_moving_exchange_stores_to_a_different_disk.htm - explains the process. Even though the post relates to Exchange 2007 SP1, it is relevant to Exchange 2010.
----------------------
- Open Registry Editor.
- In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem
- Create the following value (REG_SZ):
Working Directory
and give it a value that points to the new database folder.
----------------------------
In my case, simply adding the new value 'Working Directory' and leaving the databases in the default location worked. I was then able to mount both my Mailbox and Public Folder database and everything worked.
