We"™re pleased as punch to announce that Oisin Grehan, Sharepoint consultant, and PowerShell MVP, will be joining us this Thursday. Should be a great show for several reasons, not the least of which is his Irish accent. 🙂
If you have questions or topics to cover during the interview, please leave them in the comments.

I have a powershell script currently running on a Windows2003 server. It acts upon an Access DB (I know ““ not ideal but it is the only way I could figure out how to add / manipulate records in a Sharepoint list ( the Access DB is just link tables from SharePoint)) ““ via the following Conn String: $ConnString = “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=$mdb”
When I attempt to run in this our new Windows2008 server, I run into the following error: Exception calling “Open” with “0” argument(s): “The ‘Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine.”

You can be one of the first to receive a copy of my book when it comes out (not long, I swear!), for free! Be sure to listen to Episode 57 for details.
And let me give you a tip. Last time I looked, we had around 1,800 subscribers who listen to the recorded show. We typically have between 15 and 40 people show up to the live show on our Ustream channel. We"™ll give away a book or two live, and save some for the “regular podcast”. Odds are a bit better if you show up tonight for the live show. 🙂
If you were a member of our group on Facebook, you"™d see this today:
I think we"™ll be doing some sort of promotion with the group in the next month or so, so stay tuned for that.

So we got ready to record the show tonight and to start the live stream and"¦Ustream"™s servers were choking. We ended up doing an on-the-fly move to Stickam to complete the interview which thankfully, worked fine. But then the stickam stream froze on Jon"™s PC multiple times, and it froze on the end-user side as well for some. So"¦
Looks like we need a better live streaming service. We are open to suggestions. Here are some that we"™ll check out based on feedback already tonight:
