MOSS Profile Import works only with one DC

If you want to import profiles in MOSS, you have to use only one domain controller for a LDAP query. this is by design... i have this situation:

three import sources and two domain controllers in "cluster mode". the first two import sources will work, but the third fails....

there is a workaround for this: just do an OR and use only two LDAP sources... or (of course) do an OR and use only ONE LDAP query... i will write some more lines about this tomorrow...

I have 2 co-authors (both cutomers with integration skills) and will write about our experiences in this kinds of projects.

The book will release at the end of 2008. I will post a lot of experiences about this stuff while i'm writing the book... :-)

HTTP Error 411 ---- BizTalk HTTP Send Adapter

Some servers will throw an HTTP Error 411, when you send an message via BizTalk HTTP Send Adapter.... then there is only one way to go.... disable the chunked encoding....

WarmUp the MOSS

if you have some performance problems with your MOSS 2007 because of the page load is very slow... just try the WarmUp scripts from here.

The script call the configured MOSS site(s) and fill the cache... no longer waiting... works fine for me...

BUT... the scripts have to run under an account that has permissions to watch the configured site...

Ladies and gentlemen.... please start your engine....

SQL Server advice for migration projects in MOSS 2007

ok... if you do some work to migrate content from sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007 you will inform the users about that.

all users have to stop working with the old system that you will be able to migrate ALL content.... maybe... well... some users will ignore your mails, phone calls, etc...

my advise when you use the database migration method....

SET THE CONTENT DATABASE OF THE SPS 2003 TO READ ONLY!!! :-) *aaarrrggggh*
