What a great conference!  It was interesting to see conferences coming back to the MGM Grand.  It looks like they combined 3 conferences together at once, Dev Intersections, M365, and AI.  Lots of great sessions on Microsoft Viva, Teams, SharePoint, and Power Platform including Power Automate and Power Apps.  Some really nice UI demos with MS Lists, inline approvals and bulk editing, emojis and animations.  I'll be updating this post as I go through my notes more.

While less common, these issues can still turn up occasionally on SharePoint Server 2010 (And Foundation). While the resolution for these issues might be the same, the steps are a bit different. The main thing to note is that the Configuration Cache is located in a different directory on Windows Server 2008 then it was in Windows Server 2003.

If you get the following error with CSOM while trying  to upload documents to SharePoint Online: The server does not allow messages larger than 2097152 bytes The reason is that CSOM limits SharePoint Online to 2MB file uploads by default if using the "ReadAllBytes" method. Use the ContentStream property instead: public void UploadDocumentContentStream(ClientContext ctx, string libraryName, string filePath) { Web web = ctx.Web; // Ensure that the target library exists. Create it if it is missing. if (!LibraryExists(ctx, web, libraryName)) { CreateLibrary(ctx, web, libraryName); } using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open)) { FileCreationInformation flciNewFile = new FileCreationInformation(); // This is the key difference for the first case - using ContentStream property flciNewFile.ContentStream = fs; flciNewFile.Url = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filePath); flciNewFile.Overwrite = true; List docs = web.Lists.GetByTitle(libraryName); Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File uploadFile = docs.RootFolder.Files.Add(flciNewFile); ctx.Load(uploadFile); ctx.ExecuteQuery(); } }   source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/pnp_articles/upload-large-files-sample-app-for-sharepoint

Problem:  Adding a bootstrap app inside a page viewer web part in SP2010 causes the formatting to be messed up. Reason:  SP 2010 does not have the right compatibility mode required on the master page. Solution: Open the site in SharePoint Designer Copy the v.4 master page for the site to a new master page and add the following line as the first "meta" tag:  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" /> Click save as default master page on the ribbon.  Keep in mind this applies to all pages to the site.
