The SharePoint Interface

What Happened?

Well, simply put, Threadripper gave up the ghost unceremoniously about two weeks ago on a Saturday night / Sunday morning. I don’t know why it died, and it took some diagnostic work to even determine that it was clinically dead. When I attempted to power it on, I wasn’t seeing anything on my monitors, and I also wasn’t hearing a POST complete (with it’s standard “beep”). I swapped out memory.

Getting Set To Launch Your SPO Site?

I’ve noted that my style of writing tends to build the case for the point I’m going to try to make before actually getting to the point.

Are There More Details?

As a matter of fact, there are.In July of this year (2021), Microsoft completed the rollout of its launch scheduling tool to all SPO environments (with a small number of exceptions). The tool not only schedules users, but it manages redirects so that future waves can’t “jump the gun” and access the new portal until the wave they’re in is officially granted access.
