Categories: General, SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010If you happen to change the Windows Time Zone settings AFTER Central Administration has been provisioned, you will see that the time zone/date format is not updated in the administration pages:

Luckily, the fix is quite easy. You can just update the Regional Settings of the Central Administration site. Since this option is hidden from the Site Settings, you’ll have to navigate to it manually:
http://[centraladministration/_layouts/regionalsetng.aspx

Here’s a sample of setting it to Brussels time zone and Dutch Locale:

As you can see only the Time Zone is taken into account while format is still using US Locale. This only applies for certain Administration Pages such as Search Administration. The “Timer Job Status” page for example shows the specified (Dutch) format:

Categories: BIWUG, GeneralBIWUG is announcing another session about SharePoint on Thursday October 27th 2011 in the Microsoft Belgium offices.
Agenda
18:00-19:00 Welcome with snacks
19:00-19:15 Introduction
19:15-20:15 SharePoint Governance (Speaker Patrick Sledz): Stop thinking about features features features when talking about governance.
When designing governance for a SharePoint implementation, a lot (not to say all) energy and words go out to technical stuff, SLA's and not to the things that define the business value. And the business value is not only a perfect technically tuned and performant SharePoint farm (if that even exists).
20:15-20:30 Break
20:30-21:00 The past, present and the future of BIWUG
During a seemingly quiet period, a lot has been going on behind the scenes. The result of all this secrecy will be revealed in the second part of the evening.
21:00-21:30 SharePint!
Of course there is also an opportunity to network, socialize and discuss the matter explained the previous hours... therefore SharePint!
Location: Microsoft Belgium Corporate Village - Bayreuth Building, Leonardo Da Vincilaan 3, 1935 Zaventem
Registration is now opened on the BIWUG site www.biwug.be
See you there !

Categories: General, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010, SharePoint Server 2010I decided to have a go on the SharePoint 2010 exams with little or no preparation and see how it’d go. The first three went smoothly. I have to admin I struggled somewhat with the PRO Administrator exam today, but cleared it nevertheless.
I’m a Certified SharePoint 2010 Developer and Administrator ! :D

Categories: GeneralThere have been a lot of issues recently on the availability of my blog. This is because we’re currently cleaning out the server room with old servers and virtualizing them. In that process some of the IP addresses got mixed around and of course the ISA rules were not updated yet.
Apologies for that !
