Office Patterns & Practices: remote provisioning framework

Most of you do probably know the Office Dev Center; the portal for (SharePoint) Office development. But who is familiar with the Office Dev Patterns & Practices initiative? This initiative lead by Microsoft has as main goal to provide a central repository for all code, solutions, patterns, examples with regards to (SharePoint) Office development. Their most important asset is their GIT repository of which the first delivery was done in May 2014.

Office Patterns & Practices is also to be found on Channel9:

New: remote provisioning framework

A very interesting addition recently made is a first version of a remote provisioning framework  in order to provision sites based on templated configuration files. This requirement lives with lots of customers and using this framework we can provide faster solution to address the needs. Check the demo video on Channel9:

The Office Dev patterns & practices initiative therefore is really something to keep following closely.

Some questions I have:

  • To what extent is on-premise SharePoint server supported;
  • Are the publishing features already supported;
  • What to think of the automatic deployment of apps you want to install to the newly created sites;
  • Is there any collaboration between the (PowerShell-driven) desired state configuration team within Microsoft. Also they have made a (basis for) provisioning framework for SharePoint; albeit their focus to create the infrastructure side, i.e. the creation of a SharePoint farm. OfficeDevPnP will then proceed with the provisioning of sites, pages, etc.

Exploring advanced DOM interop with Blazor WebAssembly

With the establishment of WebAssembly in the browser space, JavaScript is not the only option anymore to run code in the browser. You can start building your modern web applications in any language of choice. Recently Microsoft has released the first version of Blazor WebAssembly. It enables you as a .NET developer to run .NET code through WebAssembly. Blazor also comes with a websocket based server model. You can check out Blazor on Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor I have been building a couple of Blazor experiments myself, of which the following two stand out: Real-time Blazor server web app. I have added a second SignalR hub to this app in order to communicate signals from one Blazor session to another.

Azure Custom Role Definitions and Assignment Scopes

Afbeelding
Working with custom Role Definitions in Azure can be a funny thing. Interestingly, when reviewing the Azure Active Directory user interface in Azure Portal you will not find a way to query all available role definitions. If you query the Roles and Administrators view you will only see administrator roles: With a PowerShell cmdlet you are able to list all. Get-AzRoleDefinition | select name | sort name | ft results in something like the following: Name ---- AcrDelete AcrImageSigner AcrPull AcrPush AcrQuarantineReader AcrQuarantineWriter API Management Service Contributor API Management Service Operator Role API Management Service Reader Role App Configuration Data Owner ... But are these really all the role definitions out there? Obviously not! This list is scoped to the subscription you are currently targeting with your current Azure Context. In order for you to try out yourself, just create a couple of role definitions with various assignment scopes. Assuming you have owne

Troubleshooting restoring a site collection

The following applies to SharePoint 2013 RTM and potentially to SharePoint 2010, but was not tested. Ever tried to backup and restore a site collection with PowerShell using a least privilege SPRestore account approach and bumped into some fatal errors? As a starter you should have followed the instructions that are documented on TechNet: Restore site collections in SharePoint 2013 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx Apparently this documention is not completely sufficient, as you bumped in some fatal errors and are seeking for help. In this blog I would like to discuss two error messages and show you how to address them. Error 1: access denied In PowerShell: 02/26/2013 15:38:27.95 PowerShell.exe (0x2B28) 0x2B78 SharePoint Foundation General ai1wu Medium System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.
