Replace Your Network Shared Drives with SharePoint

One of the interesting things I realized recently is that I had not used a shared drive since I started at RDA. This got me to thinking about network shares and how outdated they were.  So I put together a quick 2 page paper on the topic.  If your interested you can find it here:

MOSS Document Upload on Windows Server 2008 Fails

I came across an interesting problem at a customer site recently.  When they tried to upload large documents that were more than 30mb into the MOSS document libraries they would either receive an error or the document would just fail to appear.

After a little research I came across this blog entry that describes the problem:

It has a link to a KB article for a workaround:

This is a good reminder that MOSS works a little differently with Windows 2008 and IIS 7.0.
