I'm a Test/Build Engineeer working with making SharePoint, Search and PowerShell easier for my co-workers in Releasing projects and supporting other teams. I mainly administrate our public facing internet site, developed on SharePoint 2010 with complete custom code, FBA and anonymous access. I also test and support deployments as needed so I have my hands in lots of places.

comment Office web apps does not have access to content database
How do you set the WSS_CONTENT_APPLICATION_POOL using this since its not a domain user, I've seen GUIDless Admin Content DBs end up without that user having a role and this looks like it might be a good option to grant it though without a domain I am not sure it will work.

comment User Profile Application service was inaccessible - ProfilePropertyService.svc has exceeded the allotted timeout
I've seen this on our dedicated Search Server where the User Profile service runs into this issue on occasion. Our production machines have the right amount of memory, but stopping and restarting services has not resolved it either

comment Access Denied error during crawl of external website
What Content Source type did you select and what is the Hostname you provided? Since this is a .Net you should have something like Web Site or something non-SharePoint specific and the Hostname URL should be http://<hostname> for the site

Try installing Fiddler on the Crawler machine, you need it to be scanning from where the crawls come from

comment Access Denied error during crawl of external website
If these are content sources that do not use SharePoint what kind are they that you are trying to crawl? Most of the errors and troubleshooting you are doing seem more geared towards SP issues

comment Windows Authentication for sharepoint 2010 intranet site, for SmartPhones
Are you looking to add an Authentication Provider to your login process? We did something similar, but it was not for SmartPhone support, so I am not sure if that would work for you. We did it through the web config by adding a data provider, no DLL was really needed.

comment Search configuration, exclude word/phrase from index
I thought the Refinement Panel in the results page only affected what it showed for associated tags if you changed the Data View properties, but I will admit its been awhile since I have been on that page.

comment Search configuration, exclude word/phrase from index
Can you exclude Tags/phrases through the Scoping rules? This is a little more atomic than anything I have tried so I don't know if it's feasible but maybe with the Search results xslt you can exclude this from showing up in the results?

comment Clone SharePoint 2010 Production environment for Test Environment
I answered a question like this previously, while cloning is slightly easier from the machine perspecitive we found the work behind it to be too onerous to keep the machines in sync so just do a database restore in to our test environment. sharepoint.stackexchange.com/a/22996/1201

comment Is it necessary to republish a workflow after you make changes?
In deploying we used to stop and start the workflows, our process was Stop, Deploy, Start and let the workflows catch up. Not sure if this is a recommended process or not.

comment Has anyone set up Google Analytics for a public site?
We have the same, it does work well since we can also run reports outside of SharePoint and not worry about the data in our systems. Do you use the Webmaster Tools at all?
