Configure Data Replication in SQL Server 2008 R2

This is a useful process, and it might help with my SharePoint 2010 Migration project.

It looks like it may need to be set up one database at a time though, which could make things more involved.

Also worthy of note: you must connect via machinename (or alias) but not localhost.
In my case the restore method triggered the HBSS system as a possible attack, so this method was abandoned for the moment.

Security Considerations When Using SharePoint Online

SharePoint Online offers a flexible, cloud-based platform for building internal portals, document repositories, and even limited public-facing content. But like any powerful system, it requires careful configuration to ensure it's secure—especially when content is meant to be shared or discovered across a broader audience. Authentication and Access Control The first layer of defense in SharePoint Online is identity. SharePoint is tightly integrated with Azure Active Directory, making it easy to manage access using Microsoft 365 groups, conditional access policies, and multifactor authentication. For internal sites, restrict access to only the necessary users or groups. Avoid using “Everyone” or “Everyone except external users” unless the site is truly intended for broad organizational access. If external sharing is required, limit it as much as possible: Use guest access sparingly and monitor usage Require sign-in for external users, rather than anonymous links Expire s...

Setting SharePoint announcements to auto delete after expiration

Setting announcements to auto delete after expiration One thing that always bugged me was the expiration date attached to an Announcement list that does nothing out of the box. Sure, you could always add a filter and change the default view but as soon as you add an Announcements web part to a page the view is UNFILTERED even if a filtered view is the only one to choose from.  You or I could change the default view, but we can’t trust all users to do so. A workflow would be fine to delete the item – simply pause until the expire date then delete the current item.  The workflow would stick with the template if you saved your list off as a template and then still work when you created a new list from that template.  That’s good, but still relies on the user creating the right Announcement list. The better answer was to change the Announcements default content type.  If anyone asks, tell them it’s called Governance, Sparky. The first step was to go to site sett...

Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Power Automate Flows

Image
  Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Power Automate Flows Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Microsoft Flows (aka Microsoft Power Automate) can be a bit tricky with longer lists with lots of required fields and drop downs possibly resetting your data. The work around is code, but if there are non-developers creating flows, then this process is even more cumbersome. As a result, the Flow below will do the heavy lifting using a separate list and then anyone can populate that list from a different Flow when such a thing is needed. First step: create the list Here’s the input needed in this list. List: The name of the list SiteLink: The link to the site (trim off /lists/xyzlist) IDFromSource: This is the internal ID of the item to update FieldToUpdate: The name of the field you want to update. This is case sensitive. ValueForField: What you want to set it to. Next, create the Flow. Here’s what it will look like   When a Shar...
