Wake Up IIS Websites

One of the biggest issues I have found with using authentication methods like Kerberos Constrained Delegation is that the first person who hits the site in the morning gets a 500 error until the website application pools have been rebuilt after their nightly recycle.  Recently I discovered a great module for IIS that can help prevent this.

http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-initialization

"IIS Application Initialization for IIS 7.5 enables website administrators to improve the responsiveness of their Web sites by loading the Web applications before the first request arrives. By proactively loading and initializing all the dependencies such as database connections, compilation of ASP.NET code, and loading of modules, IT Professionals can ensure their Web sites are responsive at all times even if their Web sites use a custom request pipeline or if the Application Pool is recycled. While an application is being initialized, IIS can also be configured to return an alternate response such as static content as a placeholder or "splash page" until an application has completed its initialization tasks."

 Also you will probably want a UI that allows you to do the configuration, here you go:

Add User As Local Administrator On Domain Controller

I recently was settting up a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 machine and had promoted the machine to a domain controller before creating my SharePoint admin accounts.  I needed to add several of my accounts to the local Administrators group.  Unfortunately after you promote a server to a domain controller you can no longer access the GUI for Local Users and Groups.  Instead I had to use the command line to add the users. Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command. net localgroup Administrators /add {domain}\{user} Note: do not include the {} brackets.

How to Create SharePoint Items with Power Automate Desktop

Image
Overview Power Automate Desktop is a great way to automate many of your daily task so you can focus on real work. A prime example of this is getting data from one place to another, especially when those data sources do not have an API such as a legacy desktop application or a file. In this example I demonstrate several ways in which an Excel sheet containing fictitious customer data could be loaded into a SharePoint list. In order to do this I first generated some fake data for my customers using Mockaroo . I then created a new SharePoint list and added some columns to match my spreadsheet. Methods My original plan was to just use the PAD recorder , which I did, but after creating that Flow I decided to find other possible ways to accomplish the task. The list below is not a complete list but should provide some ideas. The flexibility of PAD allows for an even wider range of possibilities for carrying out tasks such as these. At the end of each section I have placed the s...

Calling Dataverse Web API in PowerShell using Client Credentials

Image
Connecting to Dataverse using PowerShell can be very helpful for data migrations and use within Azure DevOps. Connecting to an instance in a non-interactive way can be tricky though. This article will provide you the links you need for creation and App registration and adding the app user to your environment. You can then utilize the script provided to call Web API requests including ones you define using the new Custom API functionality now available. The script was written so that it is not dependent on any outside libraries such as the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling connector. This is helpful in situation where involving an outside library will slow down your deployment time by having to be approved in a change control board. If utilizing an outside code library is not a concern you can create a connection to Dataverse utilizing the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling connector Get-CrmConnection cmdlet. Create App Registration The first thing to do is create an App Registration within Azure AD for ...
