First User Group in Munich - with live streaming to google hangout - pretty cool stuff!

Session 1: Migrations and their pitfalls

First session by Dennis Hobmaier (@DHobmaier) about SharePoint migrations.

Key take-aways: templates, custom-code, permissions, workflows are the main causes of trouble - thats new 😉

Michael Greth (@mysharepoint) showed us the various offerings for the large SharePoint Community in Germany (there are around 30 User Groups):

SharePoint Forums

SharePoint Special Deals

SharePoint Community Calendar

SharePoint Toolbox

SharePoint Podcasts (appears biweekly in German)

In the second part Michael showed us his audio equipment and how simple it is to record a podcast - impressive!

That session was good fun, very entertaining!

Last but not least a session by Mario Spies (AvePoint) about SQL high availability.

Always On Failover Cluster: One (idle) failover cluster with shared storage - if your storage dies, your SharePoint is very sad…

Always On Availability Groups: Basically a mirror, up to 1:4 mirroring.

Then Mario showed a live demo with failover - nice one! Learned a lot, thanks!
