PowerShell 3: Invoke-WebRequest vs Invoke-RestMethod and a SharePoint 2010 list with more than 1000 entries
When using Invoke-RestMethod with a SharePoint 2010 list and ListData.svc, it returns an “System.Xml.XmlElement#http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom#entry” object. Not sure why, but the end result is that you can’t get access to the “rel=next” url, or am I doing something wrong? I had to use Invoke-WebRequest and then take the Content and put it in an XML variable,…

Problems with SharePoint 2010 menus and javascript using a Cisco WebVPN (ASA)
We noticed that the SharePoint 2010 menus were not working with our Cisco ASA’s WebVPN. If the top level menu had children, they would not show on hover. Then we started noticing that all jQuery based functions stopped working. It seemed that much of the Javascript used with SharePoint 2010 would not work with our…

Looping through a SharePoint List Column with jQuery and replacing a GUID with a name from CRM 2011
This is a very specialized piece of code, but it came together nicely, so I thought I would share it. I have a SharePoint List that has a bunch of Microsoft CRM 2011 Contact GUIDs in it. Some columns have one GUID and others have multiple GUIDs separated by semicolons. My goal was: when a…
