SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 Released Today

June 29, 2011 by Joel Jeffery

Today’s Announcement

After a long wait, SharePoint 2010 SP1 is finally available.

What’s New in Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010

SQL Denali Support

Service Pack 1 introduces support for SQL Server Code Name “Denali”.

Shallow Copy

An improvement to the Move-SPSite PowerShell cmdlet, which means that when you move a Site Collection where you’re using the SQL Remote Blob Store for file storage, they can stay right where they are; it’s only database content (such as List, Library and other structure/metadata related content) that gets moved from one database to another.

Caveat: Shallow Copy does not support the Out-of-Box RBS provider (the Filestream Provider).

Site Recycle Bin

Much awaited, and much appreciated, is inclusion of the new Site Recycle Bin. Before SP1, if you deleted a site, it pretty much stayed that way. Lists, Libraries and Documents got into the Recycle Bin, but not Sites or Site Collections. You could install the free plug-in from Microsoft’s SharePoint Governance site, but it merely archived deleted sites rather than helping those who causally deleted the wrong site.

Storage Space Allocation – Storage Metrics

In SharePoint 2010 RTM, Microsoft took away the Storage Management page (storman.aspx).

It’s back now with a new look, showing the top 100 biggest files or containers across a site collection.

Cascading Filters for PerformancePoint Services

A nice touch for Business Intelligence users: filters in PerformancePoint Dashboards can now cascade their values from one to the next.

Browser Support

Service Pack 1 brings support for Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and IE8 Standards Mode, and now Google Chrome too!

Cumulative Updates

SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 includes all the (non-redacted) Cumulative Updates since the RTM:

#spthingaday 026 - SharePoint Server. Service Applications and MinRoles. #SharePoint, #Administration, #Architecture.. In a single server Farm, you might decide to have everything running on that one server.

On a multi-server Farm, services can be started or stopped on particular servers in your Farm to support scale out.

From SharePoint 2016 onwards, you can define MinRoles.
That's the smallest set of services that you require to be switched on for a tier of servers.
A MinRole can then be allocated to specific servers.
SharePoint now takes care of making sure the right services are started.

To load balance Services without MinRoles, you just start an instance of your Service on a new Server.

However, with MinRoles, you just need to associate your MinRole with the server.
SharePoint will then start and load balance the requisite Services without any further work on your part.

#spthingaday 028 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 02. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Continuing our series of posts about SharePoint migration - today's lesson: expect reorganisation.

Best practices for naming Site Collections on-premise, is to use Host Named Site Collections. For instance, hr.mycompanyname.com, sales.mycompanyname.com, finance.mycompanyname.com.

SharePoint Online supports neither custom Managed Paths nor Host Named Site Collections.
All Site Collections in SharePoint Online have to be created at one of three locations: at the root, under /sites, or under /teams.

Take the migration as an opportunity to change and adapt your information architecture to make the best use of what SharePoint Online and Office 365 can offer.

While you're at it consider breaking up your sub-site structure, and migrating them into Modern Team Site Collections in anticipation of the forthcoming Hub Site in SharePoint Online.

#spthingaday 029 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 03. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Today's lesson: you'll need help.

There's nothing built into SharePoint Server or SharePoint Online to do a full migration for you.

Here are some of the free options.

The lowest common denominator way is to use PowerShell scripting and two mapped drives - one to the source, and one to the target. This will only copy files, and only the current version. You will lose metadata during the copy.

If you need both Lists and Libraries, with versions and metadata, you can use the Export-SPWeb and New-SPMigrationPackage cmdlets. This uploads your content to an Azure Storage account as a temporary location, so that SharePoint Online can suck it in. (http://1jj.uk/spmigpkg)

Another option is the SharePoint Migration Tool only. Today, it only handles files and Document Libraries, but supports metadata and version history. There's also an option to use Azure Storage to speed things up. (http://1jj.uk/spmigtool)

For Content Types, Site Columns and structure, you can use the PnP PowerShell libraries from the Patterns and Practices group. Use this in conjunction with another method to migrate the List and Library content itself. (http://1jj.uk/pnppowershell)
