Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010:

Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010. It has an interesting mix of features including support for a Microsoft product still in code-name stage and re-introduction of a feature that was taken away in SharePoint 2010.

The Microsoft SharePoint Team blog says it is “strongly recommended” that you install the June 2011 Cumulative Update “immediately after the installation of Service Pack 1. The June Cumulative Updateincludes several important security and bug fixes that are not included Service Pack 1.” Here’s what’s included in SharePoint 2010 SP1:

Denali. SQL Server “Denali” support has been added. SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 were already supported, of course.

Shallow copy. If you’re using Remote BLOB storage (RBS), SP1’s support for shallow copy lets you update pointers to objects in the destination content database. (Shallow copy is the movement of structured site collection data across content databases without touching the unstructured data in the BLOB store.) The Windows PowerShell cmdlet Move-SPSite is what you use to do this.

Site Recycle Bin. Recovers deleted site collections and sites. Similar to that of the Recycle Bin for lists, libraries, and documents.

StorMan.aspx. Removed in SharePoint 2010, the StorMan.aspx page has been improved and added to SP1. It lets users see what is using up their storage quota to enable them to better manage their sites.

Cascading Filters in PerformancePoint Services.Cascading filter support in SP1 means that now you can pass the value of one filter to another.

IE and Chrome Browser Support. SP1 provides support for Internet Explorer 9 in Internet Explorer 8 Standards Mode and also provides support for the Google Chrome browser.

Accumulated Cumulative Updates. SP1 also includes all Cumulative Updates through the April 2011 Cumulative Update. To learn more about what is included, check out the Microsoft whitepaper on SharePoint 2010 SP1.

Briefly, service pack 1 for SharePoint includes:

  • Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2011 Code Name “Denali”
  • Shallow copy functionality
  • Improvements to storage management (StorMan.aspx)
  • Cascading filters for Performance Point services
  • Recycle bin: Lets you restore a site collection or a web that was deleted
  • Remote Backup Systems (RBS) and shallow copy can decrease downtime and increase efficiency by moving pointers to databases instead of moving databases
  • You can see which folders are taking up valuable space with the improved Storage Management feature in site settings
  • Integrated community content in the Access Application Part Gallery.
  • Better alignment between Project Server and SharePoint Server browser support.
  • Improved backup / restore functionality for SharePoint Server
  • The Word Web Application extends printing support to “Edit Mode.”
  • Project Professional now synchronizes scheduled tasks with SharePoint task lists.
  • Internet Explorer 9 “Native” support for Office Web Applications and SharePoint
  • Office Web Applications Support for Chrome
  • Inserting Charts into Excel Workbooks using Excel Web Application
  • Support for searching PPSX files in Search Server
  • Visio Fixes scaling issues and arrowhead rendering errors with SVG export
  • Proofing Tools improve spelling suggestions in Canadian English, French, Swedish and European Portuguese.
  • Previously unreleased fixes
  • Previous SharePoint Server 2010 updates that were released through June 2011, and all the cumulative updates that were released through April 2011s
  • Previous SharePoint Foundation 2010 updates that were released through June 2011, and all the cumulative updates that were released through April 2011

Changing Content Type Hub URL

Change the Hub URL through powershell by using: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity " " -HubURI " " For Ex: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Managed Metadata Service" -HubURI "http://contenttype.Domain.Com" When you try to do this you get this rather scary message: This is SharePoint telling you that this is a major thing so be careful! Essentially all your content types that you have published out will be removed if they can, and you have to republish all of your content types out again which can cause some issue.
