Before migrating, or during migration, there should be a step for 'vetting' whether a document should even be imported. If a document is 'dead, tombstoned, unnecessary', whatever, it should either then be:

1. Destroyed
2. Archived somewhere other than SharePoint
3. Leave it in the original location (say the file server h:) but mark it as read only - if they need the document later, they move it to the writable SharePoint library at that time
4. Archived in a different library in SharePoint

All 4 of the above, if applied against X number of documents, will also help trim the size of the stuff we need to index and view (performance gains) and backup (availability restore window requirements). Typically, 3 or 4 seems to be the best choice for documents that are no longer relevant as it can be backed up on a less frequent timetable, is still searchable via the overall search functionality, etc.

I just think it's important to state this expectation clearly. It's a win/win and if not stated, there is a strong possibility they'll just shove every document into this library, impacting performance and bloating it unnecessarily.

To fix:

1. Down the VM

2. Find the 'ethernet_card_address_type' in the VM's VMC file - such as... 0003FFxxxxxx

3. Remove the number so the line appears as follows:

4. After you remove the number, Virtual Server will create a new MAC address the next time you start the virtual machine.
Karel, cc’d you for your notes as although today was a little different, the problem/fix described above is what we had to deal with a few weeks ago and I imagine there might be a few VM’s floating around the office based on that original copy.

Here's the quick fix...

1) Backup the log file by right clicking on the database and selecting backup

2) Set the Config database to simple recovery model (Right Click on database / properties / options)

3) Right click on database and select Tasks/Shrink/Files and select file type = log, action = release unused space

Reset back to full recovery model, if desired.

Adding a SharePoint Web Application
Creating a new Web application is the most common option. When creating a new SharePoint Web application, you create a new database to store data, and define the authentication method used to connect the SharePoint application to that database.

Extending a SharePoint Web Application
Choose Extend an existing web application if you need to have separate IIS Web Sites that expose the same content to users. This is typically used for extranet deployments where different users access content using different domains. This option will reuse the content database from an existing Web application.

Site Collections
Only one at the root, the rest will be under /sites (by default, you can create your own paths). Site collections have their own quotas, owners, usage reports, etc.

Anyways, I finally got a swell/working PHP/MySQL on IIS (ya ya, I should install it on Linux, etc. - blah blah blah, go take a shower nerd). But these two articles were very important, in particular, the detail regarding the system variable that needs to be set called 'PHPRC' that is very poorly documented. It tells PHP where to find the php.ini file (I think, I should have ranted last week when I was actually doing it).

Anyways, here they are:
