How does Person Or Group Column Really Work in MOSS 2007?


  1. People Picker first checks all profiles in the User Information List of the given Site Collection to see if a value in the search match. If a match is found, the value entered is locked, and if you hover your mouse over it, you will see the associated Account Name:
  2. If the match is not found then it checks in AD
NOTE:

User info list is basically from SSP user profile.
Is the searching person EID is disable in AD, then People picker won't get him/her in sharepoint

SharePoint Locale ID (LCID) Table

SharePoint Locale ID (LCID) Table Windows uses a Locale Identifier (LCID) to determine the language and culture to use when displaying information to a user.  The users LCID is picked up from his/her regional settings within windows or from the language settings for the browser.  The application then displays resources, number and date formatting according to the the local.  This post lists a table of LCID's, the short name and full name of each locale. All products, such as SharePoint, SQL, .NET all use this to assist with formatting.  As this post is focusing on LCIDS in SharePoint, there are several folders within the 12 hive that allow you to globalise and localise your application. \BIN\ LCID SharePoint deploys local specific dll's for custom messages used within the SharePoint framework.  You will typically not be updating this folder with your own DLL's. \HCCab \ LCID You are able to create and deploy your own help files that integrate into the SharePoint

What are difference between Default instance and Named instance in SQL Server?

A SQL Server installation is referred to as an instance. Up to and including SQL Server 7.0, only one installation of SQL Server was possible on a server, but that restriction didn’t suit a number of deployment scenarios that customers required, including high-availability and consolidation. With the release of SQL Server 2000, multiple installations of SQL Server were possible on a single server and were known as SQL Server instances. SQL Server 2008 continues with this model and with very few changes. A default instance has much the same profile that SQL Server installations have had in past; you install SQL Server and then connect using the computer name of the server.

How is a satellite phone different from a cellular phone?

What Is a Satellite Phone? A  satellite   phone  or  satphone  is a  mobile phone  that sends and receives calls using satellites rather than landlines or cellular broadcasting towers. A  satellite   phone  only requires a clear line of sight to the sky. The advantage of a  satellite   phone  is that it can complete calls from anywhere. A  satellite   phone  can operate in the middle of the Sahara desert, at the top of Mount Everest, or from a clearing deep within a South African jungle. It is an indispensable tool for remote excursions of all kinds, and provides solid communication on the seas and in the air. A disadvantage of a  satellite   phone  is a noticeable delay in conversations. The signal must first travel to the  satellite , then to an earthbound gateway before being routed to the receiver. The receiver's response will follow the same path in reverse, taking equally long to reach the caller.  Satellite  minutes are also more expensive than cellular minutes.
