Getting Ready for SharePoint 2010

September 2, 2009 —  An informal survey put together by Quest Software’s Joel Oleson shows that 65% of SharePoint users plan to migrate up to SharePoint 2010 within the first year of its release (which we’re told is still on track for Q1 of next year). He also finds that the folks on WSS plan on moving to the full portal technology, and that most people have already run the pre-upgrade checks required to ensure SharePoint 2010 can run smoothly. His findings, and some excellent commentary on the results—and on SharePoint adoption in general—can be read on his blog.

Oleson and Quest also have produced a white paper explaining how folks can start getting prepared for SharePoint 2010, with some insight gained from Microsoft’s SharePoint product team. If you’re migrating, you’ll want to read this…

Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced (sort of) the last planned release of the SharePoint Administration Toolkit. The toolkit is for MOSS 2007 and Windows SharePoint Server 2003; the company will release a new toolkit for SharePoint Server 2010. The reason I say “sort of” is that there was a problem with the toolkit, and a fix must be completed before it can be widely released. I’m told by a reliable source that the fix should be back up on line “in the next couple of days…”

For those of you living in the New York metropolitan area, there will be a full day of SharePoint training happening under the SharePoint Saturday banner. It’s set for Sept. 12 at Learning Tree New York, One New York Plaza, 31st floor. It’s at the corner of Whitehall and Water… way, WAY downtown. Registration begins at 8 a.m.; sessions start at 9:30.

I’ll be there, and I hope to meet some of you!
