By default, making a site in SharePoint anonymous not works for mobile users.

So to making anonymous for mobile, the easiest way to open the compat browser config file, and make the “IsMobileDevice” entry false.

Making this false, will provide the anonymous access to the mobile users, and open the standard site (same internet site).

You can find the config file at “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\App_Browsers\compat.browse”

You will see lot of entries for each mobile & other browsers

It was the 134 session of PTM Toastmaster Qatar Chapter. My session was the 1st one. As per the feedback received by seniors toastmaster, i did good. After my speech, Mr. Bashir delivered his project 8 speech on crises management. He also delivered it very confidently.

Then Mr. Koka Prasad delivered an education module on “Importance of Words”. He delivered a very good, informative session. He represent Qatar in International Toastmaster event, probably last 3 years. I must say, that he is an excellent speaker, i ever witnessed. I must say that i was lucky to have him in my 1st project, and to received his feedback as well.

We had some interesting table topic session as well. Mr. Azimuddin was the TM of the day.

I want to thank you all of the PTM fellows, who encourage me a lot, and with their support, i passed the Project 1.

So i am fully ready to deliver my P2 in upcoming session.

He shared the some really cool features of Cloud. He update the audience that the trial version will be launched very soon, and then by next year, it will be available commercially.

It seems like that Office 365 release will especially support SME organizations, by providing Microsoft best class services at very nominal cost.

He then invite Yasir Khokar, the Business Team Lead of Microsoft Gulf to demonstrate it. It was good to meet Yasir after almost 5-6 years. We worked together in Nawras Oman project.

Well there is no doubt that cloud will not only reshape the services, technology but careers too. Yes, it will give a new turn to developers, network professionals careers. Let see and hope for the best.

Do you wanna check What is cloud, check this,, small video..

It was really good to meet Nisar Rana Sb, Abid Hussaini Sb, Azeem Sb, Asghar Sb, Basheer Sb, and learning from their experiences.

PTM Qatar is a good toastmaster club, and i always get a warm welcome and appretiation from the club.

Today the club has an official meeting # 132. In this session, there were 2 sessions, one was on dengue fever conducted by Dr. Jawed Sb, and other body language which was conducted by Ms. Shewta (Sorry if i misspell the name). She conducted an extra ordinary session on body language. She also run a dance society here named as “We dance” in Qatar.

On body language, she shared that 5 things are most important 1 is attire or posture, 2nd is hands movement, 3rd is whole body, 4th is facial expression and final is eye contact. So if we want to be good in expression, body language is the key, and in body language, these 5 things are the basis.

At the end, i was awarded the membership. The PTM Club president Mr. Asghar told that i am the first member of this club, who get this new re-branded pin (Badge).

I hope that in next session, i will be delivering my P1 i.e. “Self introduction”. Would like to thanks Azeem Sb who really guided me well on this, so wish me best luck for first session coming weeks.

As i am not in Pakistan these days, the award was received by my friend Hadi Raza.

I always love to participate in Pakistan Development community, and there is no doubt that the Microsoft Innovation TEAM in Pakistan and Microsoft Pakistan are also trying their best to promote awareness, and playing an healthy role for development community.

Thanks Shijaz Abdullah for a cool post on this and as well in MS Partners Qatar FB.

The session was conducted by Ahmed Khairy. He has a good background on FAST Search, and deploy it on number of clients.

The session give a good idea about the value that FAST search can add to SharePoint Clients.

FAST Search comes with an independent license, and it has to configured with SharePoint solution. It provides some cool searching techniques.

Microsoft bring it together with SharePoint 2010.

“The password supplied with the username spgulf\Administrator was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again” Error while creating web application in SharePoint 2010″

It doesnt let me create the Web Application.

Few days back the Administrator password was modified, but it has been updated all the required places. After some research, i fix the error with following Powershell command.

stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin -password.
Example : stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin spgulf\administrator -password p@ssw0rd

Basically this require to update the farm credentials as well on SharePoint. So this fix the error.

As i have recently moved to Qatar, and i was quite active in Microsoft community activities in Pakistan, i was looking the same in Qatar. So had a chance to meet lot of like minded people, especially from Microsoft TEAM, Shijaz Abdulla, Ali Hashim, and Riad Afaneh.

So we will be starting soon the same activities here. If you are in Qatar, and interested, feel free to drop me an email.

Go to your windows services (Type Services.msc at wundows run), check the SharePoint Timer Services. You will noticed it will be stopped, start the service. If you have changed the SharePoint service password, you have to provide the password, else it will start.

Now go back to the farm solutions SharePoint Central Administration, you will notice that now it has been done.

We faced this problem, when we changed the SharePoint service password. And then the solution retracting got stuck.

So last week i dropped an email, asking about their activities. I got a very warm reply from Mr. Azim, Mr. Asghar Ali & Mr. Rana. They invited me on their meeting July 23, 2011 at Gulf Paradise hotel.

So today, i went their, it was a very healthy session. I learn lot of good things from here, like a good session by Mr. Azim on preparing speech, or how to organize it. A very good conclusion by Mr. Saleem Kapoorwala. In fact all members their are very helpful, and i hope that I will really enjoy my time here, and will have a wonderful learning from seniors members their. People i met their, were Mr. Iftikhar, Mr. Azim, Mr. Saleem, Mr. Asghar, Mr. Bashir Mr. Ashraf, Mr. Lawa, Mr. Asad, Dr. Qaiser who gave a very good session on “Stone diseases”.

I hope to attend the next session on August 6, 2011.
