Next SharePoint 2010 certification step

I've recently passed the exam 70-667 (MCTS Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuring) and I have to choose the next SharePoint 2010 exam to take: which one could be the best choice? 70-668 (MCITP Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Administrator) or 70-573 (MCTS Microsoft
SharePoint 2010, Application Development)?
Regardless of the order, I'll have to take all the 4 SharePoint 2010 certifications before moving entirely to SharePoint 2013.

Hi.
I highly recommend that you get 70-668 passed ASAP. Microsoft might be retiring 70-667 and 70-668 on January 31, 2014. The MCITP SharePoint 2010 title will no longer be attainable after July 31, 2014. After passing 70-668, you can get your MCPD by passing
70-573 and 70-576. These developer exams are not yet slated for retirement.
Here is the conflicting page stating the January retirement of 70-667 and 70-668:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/sharepoint-certification.aspx
Here is the official exam retirement page stating the July retirement of 70-667 and 70-668.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/retired-certification-exams.aspx
Either way, I'd want do the administrator exams together and then the developer exams together in case of any content overlap
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson
Hi David!
Happy new year and thanks for your reply.
I subscribe to your point of view: that was the certification path I was thinking about as soon as I've passed the 70-667 exam; furthermore, having studied for the 70-667 made me "ready" for those administrative concepts that are more deeply presented in the
70-668 exam.
Maybe this one will be my choice, too.
Thank you again.
Bye.

  • Move A Site From Moss 2007 To Sharepoint 2010

    i have a site in sharepoint 2007 and i want to move it to a sharepoint 2010 server
    not too sure what is the best method to do this ?
    thanks

    I landed in this thread because I had a similar need to Muthuvel's. I am wanting to bring over just one subsite out of several.  My database in 2007 is around 7GB, and all I really want is just one site out of the many in it. 
    Ahmed's Ammar's steps were just right, and worked well for me in order to get the complete 7GB database over to SharePoint 2010, and later export\import that single site I was looking for.
    For Muthuvel, here are my updated steps, starting with Ahmed's text (sorry for plagiarizing!).  Steps 7 and 9 are for subsites.  See links at the bottom for dealing with site collections.
    1) Find the content Database;  These are listed under Central Admin->Application Management->Site Collection List
    2) Backup the content database. Just doing a backup in SQL Server Management studio.
    3) Restore content database to the new server, I mean the DB server for your SP2010
    Copy the BAK file to new server. Create an empty DB in Management Studio, restore from backup, you may need to change an option in the "options" tab of the restore dialog to get it to work. (Overwrite db).
    4) Create a new Web App on SharePoint 2010
    For Step 4, I created a new Web App, choosing to create it with a suggested port number, such as 4072.  This was a temporary web application that I ended up deleting later.
    5) Remove Content Database from the new web app.
    I didn't find that you neeed to remove the Content Database first.  You can add the content database by Central Admin or by STSADM, or by Powershell. 
    Central Admin would be Application Management > Web Applications > Manage Content DAtabases > Set the web application to your newly created web app > Add Content Database > specify the name of the database you just restored
    STSADM is as Ahmed gave: 
    Now use STSADM to add restored DB to this web app
    c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extentions\14\bin on new server is where you can find the STSADM.
    run this command from there. Which will upgrade the content db to 2010?
    stsadm -o addcontentdb -url http://yourwebapp:port -databasename yourcontentdb -databaseserver yoursqlserver
    Powershell would be this command below.  Be sure to run the "SharePoint 2010 Management Powershell" console, found under Programs\SharePoint 2010 Products.  If you run just regular powershell this won't work. 
    Mount-SPContentDatabase "MyDatabase" -DatabaseServer "MyServer" -WebApplication
    http://sitename:port
    6) Run ISSRESET from command prompt
    I'm not sure this was necessary, but I did it anyway.
    NOW, the rest of the part about getting that subsite you want. 
    7)  Export the subsite.  I did this with Powershell.
    Export-SPWeb http://sitename:port/sites/subsitename –Path "subsitename.cmp"
    8)  Create a new site for you to import this subsite into, in the Web Application where you want it to go.  This would be done with the regular Site Actions > New Site command.  You can also do it from Powershell, but that requires knowing
    site templates by name, something I'm just learning myself.  The other thing here is that you have to create the subsite using the same template as the site you just exported.  So if that was a Team site, be sure to use a team site when you create
    this new area.
    9)  Import the subsite to where you want it to land permanently. Here I'm saying port 80 because that's the requirement Muthuvel mentioned.
    Import-SPWeb http://sitename:80 –Path "subsitename.cmp" -Overwrite
    10) Even after things say they are done on the server, the site may take an extra minute or two to come up when testing from a client.  Give it a little time. Once it comes up, somehow I found a way to change the visual appearance from the old SharePoint
    2007 to SharePoint 2010, but now that I flipped that switch, I can't find the option again.  So I'm sorry that I am not documenting that here.
    11) Delete that temporary web app you created in step 4.  Again you can do this with Central Admin or Powershell.  Here's the Central Admin way:
    Central Admin would be Application Management > Web Applications > Manage Web Applications, land on the temporary web app, click Delete.  Choose Yes to deleting the content database and the IIS web site. 
    GROAN!! I'm sorry, I just wrote all this out and realized Muthuvel was asking about a site collection, not a subsite.  Then for Steps 7 and 9 you'd want to use
    Backup-SPSite 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748617.aspx
    and
    Restore-SPSite 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx
    Good luck, hope someone else finds this as useful as I did!

  • Sharepoint 2010 - Exam 70-573,Exam 70-667 scores are valid after Jan 2014?

    I am planning to do the SharePoint 2010 certification ,  and found that it is getting retired on Jan31 2014. In this case will my certification be valid after this date?
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/mcts-certification.aspx#fbid=zoBob0JUBmX

    Hi,
    The certification will still be valid for SharePoint 2010 but the newest certification is based on SharePoint 2013:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/mcse-sharepoint-certification.aspx#fbid=nTemxTEp9eN
    The MCSE: SharePoint 2013 certification includes the three exams needed for MCSA: Server 2012 so to get the latest certification you can achieve MCSA: Server 2012 first and then pass the two additional sharepoint 2012 exams.
    The new certification model is no longer based on achieving a product certification by passing one exam (this was the case with the MCTS exams)
    The SharePoint 20120 MCTS certification will remain on your transcript after Jan 31 2014 but at some point most company's will move on to SharePoint 2013 the coming years and then the newer certification will have more value.

  • What are the steps to change existing sharepoint 2010 farm database server to a new server

    Hi
    i have a sharepoint 2010 farm and backend with sqlserver2012 standard edition on windows server 2008 r2 server
    now what are the steps to if  want to  connect this farm to a new sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 server and remove this existing server
    adil

    You have two options:
    Use a SQL Alias and you will then need to swing all databases over to the new SQL Server
    Don't use a SQL Alias and swing all but the Configuration and Administration databases to the new SQL Server, and individually re-configure Service Applications/Web Applications to use the new SQL Server. This will force you to keep the old SQL Server around.

    I have SharePoint 2010 (Release To Manufacturing) environment and am planning to to upgrade it to SP1. May I please know the correct steps
    to install SP1 on to my environment(2WFE + 2APP servers & 64 bit OS).

    SP2 provides key updates and fixes across our servers, services and applications including security,
    stability, and performance enhancements and provides better compatibility with Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10, Office 2013, and SharePoint 2013.
    also your Sharepoint is upto date version, you will get all the functionality which
    you will losing since you are prior to SP1.
    i.e Site Recycle bin,
    Content Deployment fixes, . you can go throw all the kB articles which will tell you what fixes in it.

  • Jquery or code for Image loading on Sp Gridview Pager(Next ,Prev) click functionality on sharepoint 2010

    Jquery or dynamic code for Image loading on Sp Gridview Pager(Next ,Prev) click functionality on sharepoint 2010.
    i have a dynamic SP gridview contains Previous and next
    buttons for paging.

    As per my client request, i need to change the
    progress bar to Loading image (Wheel at middle of the grid at fething time).
    How its possible either through jquery or Programming(code behind).
    Please help

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that  you want to add loading image when click the paging button to load the data.
    I suggest you can use Jquery BlockUI Plugin to show a block image when loding data in paging click event.
    Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

    Ed Price: "Great article. We should include the technology in the title. Good descriptions, and great References!"
    JS: "Although the outlined solution is interesting and shows the public the usage of the "new" system views finding the right dependencies, it is not recommended to describe the usage of undocumented features such as sp_msforeachdb
    as there are alternatives, especially in this scenario. You could generate a query using the sys.databases view and let it print out the database name along with the use statement. In addition to this and as the statement has to be run with a high privileged
    account as schema information is secured as well, it should be made safe to SQL injection. In many case in the statements there is just a concatentation of values used. You can easily inject code in here, Also make sure that names / object identifiers are
    quoted with [] in order to allow also special characters like spaces in the names"

    However when I try to run February CU or December CU I get the error:
    The expected version of the product was not found on the system
    it's possible that I messed up because
    I think I installed a SharePoint Server Service Pack 2 in a SharePoint Foundation Farm.
    these are the files I ran:
    1 - SP2 pt-br
    oserversp2010-kb2687453-fullfile-x64-pt-br
    2 - SP2 for Language Pack pt-br:
    oslpksp2010-kb2687462-fullfile-x64-pt-br
    3 - ran configuration wizard (had na error message the first time and success in the second try)
    4 - December CU or February CU:
    Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 February 2014 CU
    The expected version of the product was not found on the system
    In the first step I think I should have installed
    wsssp2010-kb2687464-fullfile-x64-pt-br
    Now I try to runthis and I get:
    The update is already installed on the system.
    Hopefully this is a QA Environment but it would be a pain to start over.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
    <properties>
    <property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.
