Feature 1 SharePoint 2010 : Sandbox Solutions

This feature i am sure is one of the big enhancement in SharePoint 2010 . For all those developers out there who gave day and night to convince server admins that the developed code is safe and won't break the farm this is sign of relief.

Now the developers / Site administrator can get their custom code(restricted features) to the SharePoint site without concern .So in case there is bug in code then the only thing which will bomb is site owned by the team .

Farm administrator has total control over the deployed solution and can even define resource limit for the solution . It's win - win for the server admins as well as the site owners.

Less politics in organization now ;-) .

Just tried SWAT tool till now, pretty impressive.

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E14 STSADM ERROR

In my case this error was purely due to lack of disk space in DB server.

ERROR:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E14

Clearing hard disk space in DB server resolved the issue.

Unable to Delete SSP (unprovisioning)

If you are stuck with SSP and have no clue how to get rid of it then you are at right place.

Use the SharePoint Master Tool (STSADM), nobody says "no" to Master ;-)
