I noticed it has been some time since I've cross-posted anything out here on my Spaces blog. Check out my MSDN blog where you can find several postings from the last few months. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to sit and blog, but there's always an intention for me to do so. I'd like to hear from others any subject / info they'd like to hear more about, so feel free to add a comment or two and let me know. Thanks!

I've been asked lately what accounts I generally use for setting up SharePoint enterprise server farms. This is always a hot topic and everyone has their own conventions and thoughts on the matter. First and foremost, consult the guidance available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445.aspx for your specific configuration. That being said, here is what I normally do for 5-6 server setups (WFE/APP & Index/SQL): DOMAIN\MOSSSQLSVC (SQL Service Account) DOMAIN\MOSSSETUP (Setup Account) DOMAIN\MOSSSRVFARM (Server Farm Account) DOMAIN\MOSSWEBAPP0 (Generic App Pool Identity, add additional accounts as needed... ) DOMAIN\MOSSCAAPPPOOL (Central Admin App Pool) DOMAIN\MOSSSSPAPPPOOL (SSP App Pool) DOMAIN\MOSSSSPSVC (SSP Service Account) DOMAIN\MOSSSRCHCA (External or special Content Access) DOMAIN\MOSSSRCHSVC (Search Service) DOMAIN\MOSSSRCHSVCCA (Search Service Content Access) DOMAIN\WSSSRCHSVC (WSS Search Service) DOMAIN\WSSSRCHSVCCA (WSS Search Service ...

Quick and dirty method: Append "_vti_bin/owssvr.dll" after the site: Example: http://www.marines.mil/Pages/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll This should return your standard SharePoint page if the site is indeed running on SharePoint. Most folks don't go through the trouble of redirecting the old Vermeer shadow directories and/or disabling owssvr.dll (which would generally be considered bad for SharePoint..) You can get some info on the old Front Page extensions remnant here: http://www.synergyonline.com/blog/blog-moss/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=24 Stuff like this made SPS not-so-user-friendly back in 2001, but it is my trick of the day for confirming if a public website is running SharePoint. ( I also like when web admins on .NET boxes leave tracing on and you can use Trace.axd... but that's me.. ) -E-
