New open source project: The SharePoint Admin Bot
SharePoint New open source project: The SharePoint Admin Bot

I’ve started a new open source project called the SharePoint Admin Bot or SPAdminBot for short. Why you ask? Because I got tired of doing and seeing people do the same tasks over and over again on SharePoint Online and Office 365. For something simple like creating a site collection you would always have to go into the admin portal and click through multiple pages to get the job done. These kinds of simple tasks can be easily done by a bot.

SharePoint Setup a SharePoint Development Environment Part 4

This is the 4th series of my post on how to set up a SharePoint Hyper-V virtual farm. In the previous posts we prepared our different servers, installed SQL and SharePoint 2013. In this post we will configure SharePoint 2013 with PowerShell. Like i already said in the previous post there will be some benefits of doing it this way. If you use the standard configuration setup wizard then SharePoint will create the databases and services for you. This also means that you don’t have control over their names, passwords or the accounts they run under.

SharePoint Setup a SharePoint development environment Part 1

There are a lot of blogs out there describing how to setup a development environment for developing SharePoint solutions and with the new version of 2013 also the development of apps. Because of the improved capabilities in Windows 8 and Hyper-V I am converting all of my previous vmware virtual machines to Hyper-V. But what about my starting virtual machine where I begin a new project with? Well instead of converting that one I’ve set out to create a new SharePoint development farm.

Hi there,

I’m Rick and I am a Microsoft 365 consultant living in Belgium. I’ve been working with SharePoint since 2007 and recently I’ve made the transition to Office 365. My main focus is development but as you all know… working with SharePoint requires you to know a little bit from everything. I have started my own company called Rivaro Consultancy in 2014. This allowed me to shift my focus to Office 365. This pushed me to become a versatile expert in both SharePoint, Office 365 and all related technologies. My inquisitive disposition encourages me to continuously gain knowledge and share insights with everyone that shares the same interests. I’m currently working at Advantive where I am responsible for promoting the use of Office 365, SharePoint and Azure. This allows me to do talks all over the world which I love to do.
