4. Session Agenda Talk about anything SharePoint admin you want Our plan?
No death by PowerPoint, instead DEMOS!!!!!

5. SharePoint Containment
Farm - SPFarm
Servers - SPServer
Web Front End, APP, SQL
Web Applications - SPWebApplication
Central Admin, SSP Admin, Content
Databases – SPDatabase, SPContentDatabase
Content, Config, Service Apps
Site Collections - SPSite
The Bag
Webs - SPWeb
Portal, Wikis, Blogs, Team, Doc, Workspaces, Search Center
Lists
Doc Lib, Pages, Events, Discussions, Surveys, etc…
Items
Files, calendar items, contacts, customers, images, custom

6. Installing SharePoint Correctly
This means least privilege and no GUIDs
Create farm with no GUID
Create service applications by hand
State and Usage require PowerShell (next slides)
Use Central Admin GUI for others, set database name to no GUID
Search has to be fixed after creation to remove GUID
the-guids-from-the-sharepoint-search-service-application- databases.aspx

7. State Service
New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service Application"
Get-SPStateServiceApplication| New- SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -defaultproxygroup
Get-SPStateServiceApplication| New- SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "State_Service_DB"
Get-spdatabase | where-object {$_.type -eq "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.StateDatabase"} | initialize-spstateservicedatabase

8. Usage Service
New-SPUsageApplication -Name "Usage and Health Data Collection"
$proxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where {$_.TypeName -eq "Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy"}
$proxy.Provision()

9. So you think you installed good?
Todd show these cool people how you would drill in and audit their farm.
(I am going to take a nap while you do.)

10. Kerberos Why? Key things to remember
Because you want to do BI better
Key things to remember
Service Principal Names are a must
Yes, they have to be 100% accurate
DNS must be an A record
Anonymous error messages are usually a red herring
Fiddler is cool
Constrained delegation is super cool, but even harder
A new job isn’t a bad option, seriously lots of jobs out there
Since Todd demonstrated (poorly) auditing I will demo setting up Kerberos

11. SQL Server Reporting Services
Comes in two flavors
Native (boring)
SharePoint Integrated
Works best with SQL 2008 R2
Can be made to work with SQL 2008 but requires major hoop jumping
Requires Kerberos Authentication
SQL 2012 will change a lot of this stuff but that is for another day
We conveniently have a Kerberos farm sitting here so lets go ahead and configure SSRS in SharePoint Integrated mode.

12. Claims
What are claims?
<Insert great example about getting drunk here>
They are new to 2010 but seem to be here to stay
Not a fan of arbitrarily using them today in production but would encourage you to get up to speed on them.
Remember if you flip the switch from Classic to Claims you have to fix all of your users.

13. Forms Based Authentication
Done through claims based web applications
Steps are similar as in 2007 except now there are 3 web.config files
Web application
Central admin
STS
Doesn’t seem to come up as much in 2010 as Not sure why.
guring-claims-and-forms-based-authentication-for-use- with-a.aspx
Todd – Do you want to demonstrate setting this up?

14. User profiles
Importing from Active Directory key profile information to make it available in SharePoint.
Uses Forefront Identity Manager
Permissions for sync account
Local administrator
Replicate Directory Changes
Logon as a service

15. Search – Why don’t you use it more?
So many possibilities
Remember if Search isn’t working it is your fault. Search works!
Not the products fault there are so many buttons to press!

16. Patching has the 411 SharePoint now understands things like
Product build numbers
Database schema

17. Now patching is flexible
You can patch the bits and the database separately
Databases can run within compatibility boundaries
Patch the bits on Tuesday night and the databases over the weekend

18. More on patching You should be on SP1 at this point
Tread lightly with Cumulative updates
Only install if you have a problem and you can point to how the CU fixes it. They often introduce regressions.
