Register new managed account local user

When tried to register local account user I faced the following error:
The specified user 'accountname' is a local account. Local accounts should only be used in stand alone mode.
I found solution using powershell:
type $cred = Get-Credential
When prompted enter an account and password (here you can type in a local account)
type New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $cred
After finished the account is added.

Creating a FAST Search Scope

When you try to create scope in Fast Search Search 2010. This will not work only way to create scope in SharePoint Search using PowerShell. Command Below is sample of command for creating scope:

New-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -SearchApplication "FAST Query Application" -Name "NewScope" -Description "This is my new scope" -DisplayInAdminUI 1 -ExtendedSearchFilter 'path:starts-with("http://myserver/mysitecoll")'

The ExtendedSearchFilter parameter specifies a FAST Query Language (FQL) expression that will filter the content for that scope.

There is 2 good blogs talk about Fast Search scope:

Capatcha using Javascript

Most of the websites use the technique of captcha for validation / verification purpose whenever someone tries accomplish membership or want to submit a piece of information. The generation of captcha can be done in various ways. We can use server side scripting or even we can use client side scripting.
I am need to host SharePoint 2010 in shared environment and does not allow me to deploy server side control. Then tha best way to use captcha is javascript.

Here is a sample code of capatcha using javascript:

<html>
<head>
<title>Captcha</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

//Created / Generates the captcha function
function DrawCaptcha()
{
var a = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var b = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var c = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var d = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var e = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var f = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var g = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10)+ '';
var code = a + ' ' + b + ' ' + ' ' + c + ' ' + d + ' ' + e + ' '+ f + ' ' + g;
document.getElementById("txtCaptcha").value = code
}

// Validate the Entered input aganist the generated security code function
function ValidCaptcha(){
var str1 = removeSpaces(document.getElementById('txtCaptcha').value);
var str2 = removeSpaces(document.getElementById('txtInput').value);
if (str1 == str2) return true;
return false;

}

// Remove the spaces from the entered and generated code
function removeSpaces(string)
{
return string.split(' ').join('');
}


</script>



</head>
<body onload="DrawCaptcha();">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Welcome To Captcha<br />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" id="txtCaptcha"
style="background-image:url(1.jpg); text-align:center; border:none;
font-weight:bold; font-family:Modern" />
<input type="button" id="btnrefresh" value="Refresh" onclick="DrawCaptcha();" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" id="txtInput"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Check" onclick="alert(ValidCaptcha());"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This is simple but you can complicate it to eliminate cracking.

Use email in SharePoint 2010 Sandbox

In SharePoint 2010 Sandbox. In Sandbox Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilitiesis not avaliable. When tried to use System.Net.Mail methods available to us. SmtpClient constructor give me error.
I found another way using SharePoint Designer workflow. You can trigger a workflow to run programmatically and also supply information to the workflow and set the initiation values. Here's the code to start a workflow:

/// /// Method to handle starting the appropriate Workflow as specified by the Site Collection Workflow Name property /// private void StartWorkflow() { SPWorkflowAssociation wfa = SPContext.Current.Web.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName(this.SiteCollectionWorkflowName, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); wfa.AssociationData = this.GetWorkflowInitiationData(); SPContext.Current.Site.WorkflowManager.StartWorkflow(null, wfa, this.GetWorkflowInitiationData(), SPWorkflowRunOptions.Asynchronous); } /// /// Method to construct the Workflow Initiation/Association Data /// /// A string containing the XML schema and values necessary for the Association Data private String GetWorkflowInitiationData() { String schema = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" " + "xmlns:dms=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/documentManagement/types\" " + "xmlns:dfs=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/dataFormSolution\" " + "xmlns:q=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/queryFields\" " + "xmlns:d=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields\" " + "xmlns:ma=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/metadata/properties/metaAttributes\" " + "xmlns:pc=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2007/PartnerControls\" " + "xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">" + "{0}" + ""; StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this.SendToEmailAddress); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this._subject.Text); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this._comments.Text); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this._email.Text); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this.AutoResponseSubject); sb.AppendFormat("{0}", this.AutoResponseText); return String.Format(schema, sb.ToString()); }
