From time to time you run into something on SharePoint that is a known SharePoint ‘issue’, but you wouldn’t necessarily see PowerPivot being impacted.

(Well, maybe you are – maybe you aren’t . . . How can you check directly?) In an earlier post (http://powerpivotgeek.com/2010/03/04/installing-the-right-version-of-sharepoint/) I spoke about the way that PowerPivot determines if you are on the right version of SharePoint. Cory Retherford reported some errors and after investigating it for a few days we found the solution. Here is [...] Attempting to use a modified version of the SharePoint v4.master page is a great way to style our SharePoint site. If you interested in doing this, then the first thing to do is to make sure that you go to the right place: Go to Site Settings -> Site Collection Features -> Make sure “SharePoint Server [...] We’ve been hearing reports of this failure for several weeks, but we’ve not been able to get a good repro until a week ago. And it was the most “most reported bug” at TechEd — if there is such a category — but it looks like we have a solution after many hours [...] While this is technically a pure SharePoint posting, we have found it useful in our labs.

But there is none cooler than the Developer Dashboard. The Developer Dashboard allows you to monitor page load performance on SharePoint. Now how cool is that – you see how each element on the page [...] In another one of those “oh heck, I just spent a couple hours of my life chasing my tail” and in an effort to ‘prepare everyone for RTM’, you might notice the following error pop up from time to time. And in the NT Event Log you might seen entries like: An unhandled exception occurred and [...] This will save you a few hours of debugging. Virtually every SharePoint feature and application, e.g. Excel, PPT, and Word Web Apps, do not support 64-bit browsers. In order to work around this behavior, please use a 32-bit browser.
