Baton Rouge SharePoint Saturday

I'm thrilled to be joining many of my colleagues at Baton Rouge SharePoint Saturday this weekend at the Louisiana Technology Park. My friend and Sparkhound coworker Cody Gros, and the Baton Rouge SharePoint User Group, are bringing SharePoint Saturday to Baton Rouge for the first time.

SharePoint administrators, end users, architects, developers, and other professionals that work with Microsoft SharePoint Technologies will meet for the 1st Baton Rouge SharePoint Saturday Event on June 21, 2014. Similar to the SQL Saturday concept, SharePoint Saturday Events (SPS Events) are free, one-day events held in cities around the world.

I'll be presenting "SQL Server Best Practices for SharePoint Databases" in the IT Pro track on Saturday, I look forward to seeing you there!

Check Sharepoint version with SQL

Ever needed to check your sharepoint installation version, but don't have access to check it in central admin?

Run this query in the _Config database.

SELECT Version, TimeStamp FROM Versions      
WHERE VersionId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'    
ORDER BY Id DESC
