Setting Max memory usage in SQL Server

Sytone — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:17:03 +0000

When running SharePoint locally it is a good idea to control the memory usage of SQL. To do this use the SQL query below.

sp_configure 'max server memory', 1024
RECONFIGURE
GO

A good article that goes through some of the areas you need to look at in relationship to memory is located at: http://www.eraofdata.com/blog/2008/10/sql-server-memory-configuration/

Getting the Central Admin URL for a Farm in SharePoint

I recently needed to get the Url of the CA for a SharePoint farm, after a bit of hunting in the API it was tracked down under the SPAdministrationWebApplication object.

C#

SPAdministrationWebApplication caWebApp = Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local;
var url = caWebApp.Sites[0].Url;

PowerShell

$caWebApp = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdministrationWebApplication]::Local
$caWebApp.Sites[0].Url
