inWhen I install AJAX MSI on Windows Server 2008, It pops up with the message “please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements”, and after a few hours it still told me to wait.
You can run command line to avoid the message:
msiexec /package /qr
this will run the installation with reduced UI.

inThe PDB file needs to be in the GAC for debugging in Visual Studio. You can add this file through a feature manifest file, but you are unlikely to want to deploy the PDB to the GAC on your production server, so a better way on the dev server is to directly place files in the GAC. To do this, map a drive in windows explorer to
\\[your server name]\c$\windows\assembly
This bypasses the windows explorer shell special handling for this folder, and allows you to copy and paste files as normal without using GACUTIL.
In the GAC_MSIL subfolder, find the subfolder corresponding to the name of your assembly. Below there will be one or more version subfolders. Find the latests version subfolder., and copy your timer job dll and pdb file (built in debug mode!) to this folder.

Dot net have a dll file Shfusion.dll which is a Assembly Cache Viewer. It is located in the following path.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll
1. uninstall the dll using the following command in the run dialog box.
regsvr32 -u C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll
1. Now type assembly in the Run dialog box.
2. Now you will see the folder view of the GAC. copy the dll you want.
To get back to the previous state of view register the Shfusion dll using the following command

I found a very useful script which will display a list/document library in another site. See here, and it works for folders in the library as well. Just be aware of WebPartWPQi which is the id in the source list.

I got the below errors on the SharePoint Server in every minute. This looked like the incoming email drop folder was not setup properly in the Central Admin Console. We checked and sure enough the drop folder was empty. Setting that value fixed this error. To set the drop folder
Central Admin-> Incoming email settings
Click Advanced and type in the email drop folder.

inAfter one day’s play around, I wrote this javascript which fill in the survey by parse the query string. There is a jquery function ($(‘#aspnetForm’).fadeTo(“fast”,0.33)) to fade the whole page so you can comment it out.
I only used textbox field and checkbox but you can extend the function easily.
<script> _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("fillValues"); function fillValues() { //jquery to fade opacity $('#aspnetForm').fadeTo("fast",0.33) var qs = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length); // alert(qs); var args = qs.split("&"); var vals = new Object(); for (var i=0; i < args.length; i++) { var nameVal = args[i].split("="); var temp = unescape(nameVal[1]).split('+'); nameVal[1] = temp.join(' '); vals[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1]; //alert(nameVal[0] + " " + nameVal[1]); } if(setTextFromFieldName("Question1", vals["question1"])) { simulateButtonClick("diidIOSaveItem"); } } function getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title) { var len = identifier.length; var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName); for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) { var tempString = tags[i].id; if (tags[i].title == title && (identifier == "" || tempString.indexOf(identifier) == tempString.length - len)) { return tags[i]; } } return null; } function setTextFromFieldName(fieldName, value) { if (value == undefined) return false; var theInput = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("input","TextField",fieldName); theInput.value=value return true; } //To use this function: setCheckboxFromFieldName("Checkbox", 0); function setCheckboxFromFieldName(fieldName, value) { if (value == undefined) return; var theInput = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("input","BooleanField",fieldName); theInput.checked=value; } function simulateButtonClick(name){ var tags = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) { var tempString = tags[i].id; if(tempString.indexOf(name)>0) { tags[i].click(); } } } </script>

To display sharepoint friend error page, you need to change the web.config file and
make sure:
<customErrors mode=”On” />
and
<SafeMode MaxControls=”200″ CallStack=”false” …>
And if you get an error in your custom code that you want to handle using the “out of the box” SharePoint mechanisms, use the following lines of code…
Make sure you only call the ‘TransferToErrorPage’ method if you are handling errors in the a user interface (web part, page, etc…). Don’t call that method in a workflow, event handler, etc…
//This will write to SharePoint’s log files.
Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.PortalLog.LogString(“Your Error Message”);
//This will redirect you to SharePoint’s error page.
Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage(“Message to display on the page”);

The Indexing Service and the Windows Search Service (Indexing Service’s replacement) are role services in the File Services role. So you have to install that first.
Which indexing solution should I install?
You should install Windows Search Service, unless you have a customized or non-Microsoft application that requires you to run the legacy Indexing Service on your server. Windows Search Service offers several enhancements over Indexing Service, especially in the areas of extensibility, usability, and performance.
