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

Dec 13	comment	The Search Service Application crawl DB default has grown to 60GB Will you please provide an estimate of the volume of content you are indexing (types of content/document types, number of files, total size, average item/document size)?
Dec 13	comment	STSADM: enumallwebs -includefeatures question The only documentation I can find is a passing reference about changes made in the Octobet 2009 CU: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb735839. The enumallwebs operation page doesn't even list it as a parameter: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd793606(v=office.12).aspx or technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd789634(v=office.12).aspx

Dec 12	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? I would suggest you test it out. I have never personally restored between architectures so I'm not certain. You're not taking the original farm offline (my assumption is you're creating a second, new environment with all the same data) so there's nothing to loose except time.
Dec 9	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? Again you select new. The restore isn't restoring like (for example) SQL Server does. Instead, it's really just recreating using the settings you provide and the data that was backed up. It's not very clear at all that this is what is happening so your confusion is normal. ;)

Dec 9	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? New -- that's the magic that lets you specify the new values. If you pick same, it will attempt to restore to servers and databases that contain the original values which is not desirable in your case.
Dec 9	comment	users with Contribute getting 403 forbidden error What is the substatus code in the IIS logs? technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737788(v=ws.10).aspx
Dec 9	comment	What permissions are needed to deploy a WSP to SharePoint 2010? So is the documentation wrong?
Dec 9	comment	What permissions are needed to deploy a WSP to SharePoint 2010? No, it would appear not. Adding the solution merely extracts the wsp and physically install the files to the server. There's a timer job that runs as the farm account that will copy these to the other servers. Deploying is the same thing -- it happens in a timer job in the context of the farm account.

Dec 8	comment	Why can't I create site collections in some CDBs? Have you run the configuration wizard?
Dec 8	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? The restore will create an IIS web site (and app pool) just as it would for a new web application. It's not restoring the IIS metadata so if you had performed any manual customization you'll may need to provide this if you need it in your new environment.
Dec 7	revised	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? added the step to deploy solutions
Dec 7	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? Oh, right. You'll need to add a step between step 1 and 2 to add the solutions to the new farm so they are available (I've edited my answer to include this step). This part will handle the files in 12\TEMPLATES and the GAC. If you've modified IIS in any way, you'll need to make those same changes on your new servers.
Dec 7	comment	How to configure cloned MOSS 2007 environment? No, the backup backs up all of the components in the farm. Part of the restore process is to specify where each component will be restored to. So say you have your SSP and Search Index on APPQA, when you do the restore you'll provide the location for SSP and Search Index as NEWAPPQA. If you're using the native tools, I recommend restoring from the Central Administration GUI as you get forms to enter in the information; with stsadm -o restore you need to put it all in the command line and you could miss something.

Dec 7	answered	How can I export User Profile Custom Properties for importing into a different environment?
Dec 6	comment	How can I export User Profile Custom Properties for importing into a different environment? I've used PowerShell to dump out user profile properties from one SP2010 farm into an xml which I then used to import into a second SP2010 farm. It's actually very simple to do, you just need to make sure you grab the correct properties.
