Bad news if your in Oz and havent registered for Tech.Ed 06 yet, you missed the early bird registrations. From reports i have heard registrations are filling quickly, so hurry up! I believe that this is one event that you can't afford to miss, with so much new stuff coming from microsoft in the next 12 months you need to make sure your upto speed... So get to it people you can find the tech.ed website at http://www.microsoft.com/australia/teched2006/
Yeah you just gotta love users dont you...
why cant they ever do what they are asked when they are asked... In the organisation i work for our remote offices are completely in love with sharepoint, users at the main office were asked over 6 months ago to move all there documents onto sharepoint by management (Not by IT). Now further down the track its not done, so now i have been given the great task of moving it all up. So i stopped sharing the folder they were all stored in and started uploading, found a great tool for it, Stuart Preston's spsbulkupload, however this operation has not gone smoothly at all, with my idiot users naming most of these files with characters like & and ! etc in the file names, as well as creating incredibly long file and folder names, not mention multiple copies of the same file stored in different locations, so now i am sifted my way through all this Junk trying to sort it all out... Oh happy days :P
Whats more is i have users from everywhere whinging and whining about not being able to access this and that file, if only people could manage to do what they were asked to none of this would have happened, i have enough on at the moment without having to worry about this crap... (DONT WE ALL!!!)
*For those that don't know what a P.E.B.K.A.C. Error is, it stands for Problem exists between keyboard and chair, one of my favorite things to tell a user. Another great thing to do when giving phone support is to get them to open a .ini or something similar, and get them to enter the following line (in comments of course) User equals ID ten T, which equates to User=ID10t hehehe, Hey if i was to get smart with them how would they know anyway......
Wow this is cool,
