Sharepoint using Kerberos on Windows 2008

Sharepoint 2007 has two authentication protocols it can use internally. NTLM and Kerberos. Default it’s using NTLM since it is more or less plug and play.

My improved website response with Ajax

I am an ajax-fan, in fact I watch every soccer match on TV. Ok, but that’s probably not what you want you are interested in :) .

I really start wondering how to improve the response time after I concluded that it would be allot of work to convert this theme to a lightpress theme (I had to make a lot of plugins to get it to work). Continue reading

Ajax JavaScript Libraries

Last week I had some spare time and took a look at the Ajax hype. Instantly my attention was drawn by the loaders and to say the least, the load time on the WordPress blogs. Since I wanted to implement Ajax at my site, it was a bit of a turn off.

Sync User Folders 1.0 (with AD OUs / Groups)

NOTE: 1.0 relies on MSXML6 I didn’t notice that because I install security Configuration Wizard by default on 2003 server, which contains MSXML6.
The dependency will be fixed in 1.1

SyncUserFolders can automatically create (new) user folders (sets rights, creates shares, and can execute a script on creation). Furthermore, SyncUserFolders can automatically archive user folders when a user is deleted. All at lightning speed… Continue reading

Yet another LogonScript

Yet another LogonScript (YaLS) is a situation independent logonscript. Everything is possible without scripting. YaLS processes all the information from active directory related to the user and the logged on computer. This saves the administrator some nasty scripting work and leaves the user with a nice skin and a fast and solid working loginscript. To see the possibilities of this logon script, look at: http://www.logonscript.org/features

Download this script with the right mouse button -> Save as -> save it in: C:Documents and Settingsyour usernameStart MenuProgramsStartup. After that, log off and logon again.

You can download the script here.
