About a week ago when I'd just added links to a number of On-line chapters to the WSS FAQ sites and was starting to read all those (Introduction to...) Chapter Ones, I wasn't particularly complementary about one aspect of Chapter One of the Wrox book "Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007" by Amanda Murphy and Shane Perran.

It was in fact that old aversion of mine to inaccurate naming of the SharePoint products and in this case it was mainly that having done a good list of why you would want to use Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, they went on to give an equally good list of when to use MOSS 2007 only they called that "SharePoint" and only "SharePoint". Well Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is SharePoint too!

I thought at the time that the problems this caused in that chapter might well vanish when they moved on because this book is after all named in the sub-title as being specifically a book on MOSS 2007 (even though the main title line is the equally confusing "SharePoint 2007" because of course WSS 3.0 is also a SharePoint product that came out in 2007).

Anyway, now that I've got hold of a copy of the book, I can confirm that I was right. Once past chapter one and the naming confusions this is a very valuable book for anyone wanting to quickly get up to speed on just what MOSS 2007 is and what it's main constituent parts are. (Just ignore that it often says only "SharePoint" - this is MOSS 2007 stuff)

I'd actually recommended it a couple of times in the SharePoint public newsgroups before I'd done more than glance through it - because the chapter titles covered everything that those two people wanted to know.

Now however I've sat down and actually read it (or most of it at this stage) in detail and I am fairly amazed by the massive amount of ground they cover and the detail (but clear detail with many useful small screen shots) they include.

Now I know a fair bit about most of the things covered by this book, but even so I found myself finding small but useful details that I didn't know.

A simple example of that was for instance the section on Image Libraries. I've been used to Document Libraries since SharePoint Team Services (v1, to you late comers) and Image Libraries are nothing new to me as a storage location for images. Also the *concept* of adding PowerPoint slide shows to an Image Library was clear as well, but in a few clear pages the writers of this book were able to show me that there was much more I could do with these things than I'd imagined. Practical things in a company situation too ...

If anything the only problem is deciding who should buy the book. My conclusion is that it should be bought by people who already know the SharePoint v2 products on behalf of people new to SharePoint. That way the people with the existing knowledge (of I would hope by now MOSS 2007 and not just the v2 products) will have time to quickly run through the chapters to try to pick up the information they didn't already know before passing the book on to the real target audience.

The other open question I have is whether that target audience is Administrators or Users. I rather suspect the actual target audience is the Administrator who also does the site design, but I actually think the book could very well be given to key power users so they could use as much of the wide range of things offered by MOSS 2007 (and mentioned in this book) as possible.

The only snag is that they will probably then make the poor site administrator's life a misery if he is the kind of person who (wisely?) wants to offer as little functionality as possible to make his/her job as easy as possible.

But that's hardly the fault of the book's writers. Buy it!

The story so far. Two days ago I installed Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 on a trial versions of the Mac VM Software called "Parallels" using the default Networking of accessing the Internet via the Mac's connection.

Yesterday I changed the networking so that it grabbed (no reconfig needed in Win 2003) a suitable address from my wireless network. It could still access the Internet but now it was in the same network as my Vista machine.

I still couldn't access the WSS site from either Vista or the Mac (non-VM) and while the Win 2003 Server could ping the Vista machine; it couldn't ping back. Looking through all the Parallels manual didn't help (although my earlier read had produced the idea to change the Networking so it wasn't completely wasted time).

So off to work on the bus (for a change) and time to wonder. It's probably nothing to do with Parallels and something (stupid!) that R2 does that the earlier Windows Server 2003 didn't do.

(Moans about why do Microsoft do these things were kept to a minimum as I really hate people who use the public newsgroups provided by Microsoft to slam Microsoft.)

Comes home to try to see if I can find anything. Can't find anything via Google so look at Services. Oh look, there's a "Windows Firewall" and it's running. At first glance it doesn't seem to be blocking anything but I'm getting bored with not being able to connect so it's time for the big hammer. I stop the Windows Firewall.

Now, the Mac's copy of Safari accesses the WSS server (using nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn); asks me for a name and password and then says it doesn't like servername. Ditto Firefox (on the Mac).

Well, a couple of months ago that would have stumped me, but in the meantime I know about Alternate Accessing Methods and I quickly generate a couple of Internet alternatives (http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn and http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:portnumber for the two standard (port 80) and Central Administration sites; do a iisrest for luck and then try Safari and Firefox on the Mac again. This time they work.

Walk downstairs to the Vista portable (which has Office 2007 installed) and try there. It can access the WSS site as well.

So now I have a rather odd situation. A small MacBook with a small hard drive that includes a VM of Windows Server 2003 with WSS 3.0 installed. So that can travel with me and I can check Admin options etc. I can also check what people with Safari and Firefox can see (and not see).

Then at home I can use that same MacBook as my server and try out all the functionality that the combination of Office 2007 and WSS 3.0 can offer (and there I'll probably have more servers - such as MOSS - on USB drive-based VMs).

Not exactly what you would first think of, but much more interesting than running a second PC portable with the same amount of RAM and VMWare Workstation or VM Server or VPC I think you'll agree.

I've known for a long time that having my wireless network "protected" by WEP wasn't particularly safe. I knew that someone in the street could grab half-an-hour of my traffic and then use a free program from the web to delve through that traffic to get access.

But this is Finland; I live in a quiet residential area with only a few neighbours and so all I did was to pull out the plug to the wireless router and use the desktop when I accessed my bank.

But then I bought the Mac and it lists all the wireless networks it can find. I bought a book on the Mac and it suggested a free program to give even more information. I installed that and now I knew that one neighbour (slightly further away from the others probably, as it is a weaker signal) had a completely open wireless network; several had WEP and one or two had WPA.

So I wondered and did a quick Google search.

That led me to Georg Ou's article here

http://www.lanarchitect.net/Articles/Wireless/SecurityRating/

which says newer techniques can break WEP in minutes.

Well I might spot a guy with a computer sitting in a car for 30 mins, but 5 mins - no chance. It was about time I did something.

The first thing was to see if my wireless router already had WPA support. Surely not, as if it had I'd have used it when I did the installation.

Well, I have one from D-Link and I quickly found (via a link in their most asked questions section) the note that Revision 2 of my model has WPA support. Do I have Revision 2 ? Who knows - it doesn't say in the manual.

So I go to look (good job I still have the manual as that appears to be the only place where I have written the password for accessing it down). I access the router with the standard 192.168.0.1 URL for D-Link and the password doesn't work - ooops ... I then discover that 192.168.0.1 is actually my Ethernet router (also from D-Link) and I try 192.168.0.2 and that password and now it works.

I still can't find if it's revision 2 but it obviously is because there's a WPA option.

So I select that. Write an even longer password than before. Write it again only in the D-Link manual (!) and press OK a couple of times and head off downstairs to set-up the Mac and the Vista portables to access this revised wireless device.

The Mac is no problem at all. It tells me I've changed it; asks me for the new password and that's it. Done.

The Vista refuses to access and it takes an awful lot of (intelligent(?)) messing about before I find a place where I can amend the settings.

The problem is here (in the Vista machine) that there are several (4) WPA options each of which can be either TKIP or AES mode. I probably try 6 of the 8 possible options before I hit the one that works. (Which turns out to be WPA Personal + TKIP which according to the security article (see above) is the minimum I need to have [AES would be better, it seems - the article says that is "rock-solid" whereas "TKIP may be under attack in the near future"])

Anyway the motto of all this is that if you are running WEP on you wireless router, first check whether that same router supports WPA and change it. If not think of getting a new wireless router and if you do make sure that new router has WPA AES support to avoid the need to buy yet another new model when TKIP has been cracked.




P.S. Having that unprotected access point in the neighbourhood is something of a mixed blessing. If my wife upstairs pulls out the plug on my wireless access point (to access her bank!) then the Mac just switches automatically to the only other access point it can access (namely the unprotected one)and the only visible sign of this is a minute scrolling bar at the top-right of the screen with the new name. So my browsing gets slightly slower (and possibly becomes illegal) and as far as I can see if she then plugs my wireless router back in, the Mac doesn't switch back because of course as far as it is concerned it is still connected (to that unprotected network). It's simple to switch back but it needs to be done.

It's unfortunate that some times really stupid names are required in order to sell books.

I'm talking about the "For Dummies" series which any self-respecting Computer Pro wouldn't usually touch with a bargepole, but which often are far better than their title would suggest.

The first "For Dummies" computer title I bought (and if truth be told the last) was the one on Firewalls. I had been to a presentation given by one of the co-authors and liked his style and so I bought the book.

It actually taught me a lot - even though I already had a reasonable knowledge, it filled in the gaps.

I've now been looking at Chapter One ("Getting to Know SharePoint") of "Microsoft SharePoint 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies - Vanessa Williams)" -

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470099410/heme0f

and it's a very good (26 page) overview both of how we got here and of what you can use "SharePoint" for.

The author is fully aware of the need to get the names right and early on makes sure both that she defines "WSS" and "MOSS" as the names she will (mostly) use later (*) and also in an inset box mentions the use of "SharePoint" as inexact but as something she will use when she means something that's available in both products.

(*) The sentence defining "WSS" and "MOSS" is oddly inexact. Here it is

"I focus on the two primary SharePoint products: Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS)."

Spot the problem ?

She carefully defines the abbrieviations she is going to use and equally carefully gives MOSS its full name including the 2007 - which for MOSS isn't really necessary as there is as yet no other MOSS  - yet she misses out the 3.0 which is necessary to define the correct one of the two different WSS "editions" (2.0 and 3.0).

Very odd.

But most people will make the correct assumptions and correctly ignore this, and for *end-users* new to any SharePoint product, this still remains the best introduction chapter I have seen.
