Oh my. Oh my. I’m running out of space. This seems to be a common problem with SharePoint. My latest adventure was more than your typical content database or SQL log files issues. This one is actually focused around SharePoint_config database.

So let’s take a look at SharePoint search scopes. You might be asking yourself what scopes are and why should you care. Actually, scopes is one of those search features that you can live without and be fine, but once you find about them you will see the light.

Well I am back. I’ve been out of this and many other personal projects for what, to me, seems way to long. I took on a large project that consumed most of my time and energy. Now that it has smoothed out I feel my feet coming back under me. The project has been a whirlwind of pain, frustration, accomplishment, and learning.

As with most projects of any consequence it is large and/or complex. Complexity is a curious thing when we talk about SharePoint. Does a sheer size a farm make it complex? Adding in Project? OWA make it complex? Deploying SharePoint Application farms? In SharePoint the answer can be: yes and no. In my latest project it was all of those pieces that have to be juggled to keep SharePoint alive and happy. From the complicating factors I believe that the size posed the greatest problem to this particular project.

As time goes on, and I get a chance to process what I’ve done, I’ll write it up to hopefully help you.

So in the end this all translates to… I’m back and lets talk some SharePoint.

I’ve run into the odd problem with a customer SharePoint implementation I couldn’t find anywhere. I hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

This is running on SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. When I tried to add an entry into a Document library with the content default set to an InfoPath form I get the following error. Read the rest of this entry »
