Delete SSP
December 24th, 2008, No Comments
If you need to delete an SSP there are two ways to do it.
1. Via “Central Administration” but there is no link, you have to type the link manually.
http://servername:port/_admin/deletessp.aspx?sspId=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
2. From the stsadmin command line…
stsadm -o deletessp -title <sspname>
(If you want to delete associated databases you need to add “-deletedatabases”)

Audiences vs Permissions…
June 25th, 2007, No Comments
The true description for permissions vs audiences is that permissions is to allow or deny and audiences are what is displayed for the user based on the audience they are a part of. Not a very good explanation in my book.
