Site Collection Sizes & Subsite Sizes

Written by Kent Del Castillo

Monday, 19 July 2010 12:33

While there is an easy way to get the size of a Site Collection in SharePoint 2007:

STSADM.exe -o enumsites -url http:// YOURSITENAMEHERE > c:\SiteList.txt

there seems to be no easy way to get that info for a specific site.

One thing you can do is to open your site in Windows Explorer (e.g. \\YOURSITENAMEHERE) and navigate to the folder of the site you want to know the size of. Then simply right-click and choose "Properties" and that'll give you the size of everything within that folder plus any subsites that may exist. It's not a quick way to do things but it works.

IE8 slowdown in Page Edit Mode of SharePoint 2007

Written by Kent Del Castillo

Thursday, 29 April 2010 09:15

An annoying problem happens when using IE8 and you edit a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) in SharePoint 2007 -- it'll come up with an error saying it can not retrieve the properties. If you click OK, it lets you edit the CEWP, but when you go to Save, it'll fail. If you change your browser to use the Compatibility View for that site, you'll be able to save, but then it'll hang and timeout for that save. Very annoying.

The fix is to uncheck "Enable native XMLHTTP support" in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab.

A post with wonderful pictures on this issue is here.
