FYI: I have posted a newer article that outlines a pure CSS solution for accomplishing this task. In SharePoint 2010 the navigation menus have been greatly improved. They now produce standards compliant HTML that can be custom styled without limitations. SharePoint 2007 came with an optional master page that was configured to show sub menu […]

SharePoint 2010 Browser Fidelity
SharePoint 2010 has improved browser support over previous versions of SharePoint. SharePoint 2010 supports Internet Explorer versions 7.0 and 8.0 (32-bit) with no known limitations. Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0 (64-bit), Firefox version 3.6 and above, and Safari 4.04 and above on Windows operating systems need additional ActiveX control support that in most cases is […]
Automatically Install SharePoint 2010 with Script
One major drawback to SharePoint 2010’s installation is the way the installer chooses a name for your databases. It also appends a very easy to remember GUID to the database name as well that makes referencing your databases quite a challenge. In 2007 you could easily mitigate this using psconfig to setup your configuration databases […]
SharePoint 2010 Identity Delegation Part 2: Business Connectivity Services
In my last post, I demonstrated how to enable Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) on a WCF web service and configure it to require a SAML 1.1 “ActAs” token from a SharePoint 2010 server. In this post, I’ll demonstrate how this web service and the data it provides can be integrated with SharePoint 2010 in a […]
Send To Connections in SharePoint 2010
Send To Connections in SharePoint 2010 offer much more flexibility and a great way to better managed documents. A user can move a document from one location to another, create a copy of a document and send it to another location, or move a document but leave a link of its new location in former […]
Information Management Policy Conflicts – SP 2010
Information management (IM) policies can be set in a number of places in SharePoint 2010. The question is: When you have conflicting policies, which policy wins out? To test this I created conflicting IM policies in a few different places that could affect one document. I decided to use the Labels policy which allows you […]
Using ADFS 2.0 for Role Management in SharePoint 2010
I noticed that almost all of my most recent blog posts on the new claims features of SharePoint 2010 involve using ADFS 2.0 in some way. However, I don’t want to leave folks with the impression that this is a requirement. In fact, when SharePoint 2010 reaches RTM, you’ll be able to happily federate SharePoint […]
Document ID Service in SharePoint 2010
The Document ID Service feature is a great addition to SharePoint 2010. SharePoint 2007 lacks the ability to link to a document without using its path, which is a problem when a document is moved to a different document library, site collection or farm. A link could ultimately become a broken link as soon as […]
Using the XSLT List View Web Part to style your data – SP 2010
SharePoint 2010 has finally done away with displaying list data using CAML with the XSLT list view web part. Now you can take advantage of the flexibility that XSLT can offer you. This is not to say that you can’t use your previous CAML statements in SP 2010, they are still supported, but hopefully after […]
Content Organizer in SharePoint 2010
A great new feature in SharePoint 2010 is the content organizer. In SharePoint 2007, the only way to manage your documents was to use the Record Center Site template which didn’t really provide flexibility. Now in SharePoint 2010, the routing engine and supporting settings are encapsulated in a feature that can be activated in […]
Managed Metadata Service: Content Type Hubs and Publishing Architecture Considerations – Part I
The Managed Metadata Service is a highly configurable service application that controls three distinct features: keyword store, managed terms and content type publishing. The access to and control of these three features needs to be considered individually when determining the structure of the service applications and connections among the various web apps in the farm(s). […]
Adding an OpenID Claims Provider for AD FS 2.0 to Extend Access to SharePoint 2010
NOTE: THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR RELEASE CANDIDATE SOFTWARE. PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING POST FOR UPDATED CONTENT: https://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/nielsen_travis/Pages/Post.aspx?_ID=43 In my previous post, I demonstrated how to enable a SharePoint 2010 web application for claims authentication. As a result, it could be seen that all relevant windows account information (account SID, logon name, group […]
