News from Home - SharePoint 2007 SP3 & SQL Server 2012 !

Just got the TechNet Flash mail and I was really happy to read new information about great products that's need to be come out very soon !

My top stories:

SharePoint 2007 Server - SP3 will come out within the next few months, its going to include all the CU's from the SP2 until now and even more than that, like Microsoft sad, this going to be for my opinion the last Service Pack for SP2007 before we say goodbye (End of Life - April 2012).

"Denali" Revealed as SQL Server 2012 !After working with CTP1 and CTP3 on my Dev ENV at my work place and participating the TAP program of SQL "Denali" I can say that it's a great news and I know about really amazing and great features on that version of SQL Server.

As soon as I can I will write a POST about the new version of the SQL Server that's need to coming out in the beginning of 2012.

Set SharePoint to use cross-domain queries (PeoplePicker)

Scenario:
You have 3 domains env's, DEV - TEST - PROD.
prod.contoso.com | NetBIOS: PROD
test.contoso.com | NetBIOS: TEST
dev.contoso.com | NetBIOS: DEV

One-Way Trusts:
DEV > PROD
TEST > PROD

You have SharePoint Farm in your Dev env, you want to access to this farm from your Prod env without entering your Dev user.

Resolution:
Using the right command with STSADM you can set PeoplePicker at your farm to find also users from your prod.contoso.com and dev.contoso.com.

Phase 1:
Open CMD as administrator and type:

Syntax: stsadm.exe -o setapppassword -password <RandomString>

Simple: stsadm.exe -o setapppassword -password GsfE2#4ew


Phase 2:
Enter this command with the following settings:

Syntax: stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "<Valid list of forests or domains, Login name, Password>" -url <Web application URL>

Simple: stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "prod.contoso.com,PROD\OrB,EGsf#fr3" -url Http://spsdev2010

* The user you enter needs rights to your AD !


* From my experience with this command you can type this syntax and you will get "Command line error" .. as I know you can write this command as follows:

- Simple 2: stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "domain:prod.contoso.com" ,PROD\OrB,EGsf#fr3 -url Http://spsdev2010
Simple 3: stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "forest:prod.contoso.com" ,PROD\OrB,EGsf#fr3 -url Http://spsdev2010

Phase 3:
Check your self:

Syntax: stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url <Web application URL> -pn “peoplepicker-searchadforests

Simple: stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url Http://spsdev2010 -pn “peoplepicker-searchadforests”

You need to see your domain from the last command that you ran on Phase 2.

Why inventing the wheel again ?!
Refer to this great sites:

* Known Issues:

You can even link the shapes to a SharePoint list with servers information and to SQL Database such as SCOM and get the DEAD\LIVE link.  

Here you can see part of the Visio:
