By day, I'm a mild-mannered SharePoint infrastructure consultant for a Microsoft Gold partner. By night, I sleep. I've been working with SharePoint since 2006.

I have taken the time to write a few Microsoft exams and in turn Microsoft has graciously granted me the following certifications:

  • MCITP: SharePoint Administrator 2010
  • MCTS: SharePoint 2010, Configuration
  • MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuration
  • MCSE 2003
  • MCSA 2003

    comment Disable Anonymous Authentication results in Access denied/401 on root site
    You should turn anonymous authentication in IIS back on as this is required to support claims. Anonymous in IIS does not explicitly equate to anonymous in SharePoint.

    comment Disable Anonymous Authentication results in Access denied/401 on root site
    You're disabling Anonymous authentication in IIS? Is the web application using claims authentication? If so, my understanding is that with claims IIS passes the users to SharePoint to handle the authentication. To do this, you require anonymous authentication at the IIS level. I'm not sure why /pages/default.aspx would work though.

    The script block doesn't include the pssnapin so this is likely the issue.

    Is the site in your local intranet or trusted sites zones? Have you edited the BackConnectionHostNames or DisableLoopBackCheck registry keys? support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

    Metalogix, AvePoint, Axceler, and Quest all make migration tools that will do what you need. Disclosure: I work for a company that has partnerships with Metalogix, AvePoint, and Axceler.

    So based on dmce's findings, it sounds like you should warm up sites (SPWebs)

    comment Upgrading Sharepoint 2010 CMP file to 2013
    Out of the box, the only way to get content from SP2010 to SP2013 is a database attach upgrade. You could use third party migration tools for version to version upgrades of specific content.

    comment Upgrading Sharepoint 2010 CMP file to 2013
    Sorry, to clarify did the cmp come from SP2010 or SP2013? You can't export a site from 2010 and import into 2013.

    comment How can the deployment of a feature (or element) be made dependent on the SharePoint version (2010/2013)?
    I suspect this won't work if the site in SP2013 is using the SP2010 look and feel (SPWeb.UIVersion will report 14 instead of 15), though in that case you would probably want it to activate since it will look as expected.

    comment TFS SharePoint no longer talking to each other
    I'm not sure I understand your comment about lack of support. Have you contacted Microsoft? After the updates, have you run the SharePoint configuration wizard?
