4. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Scenario and Objectives Scenario: CIO says that we must now start tracking employee social media handles and URLs. The CIO wants the users to maintain their own information (including PII). AD team says no way to bi- directional synchronization with the UPS. HR already has a database with staff information. Objectives:  Give the CIO a database with all of the employee social and HR information.  Give the end-user the ability to securely see and update only their information.  Have the end-user information available on SharePoint for others to see and use. Let’s get started!

7. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Verify Users in UPS If your names are not showing up, and you know that your User Profile Service is running correctly, you might want to check your synchronization connections to make sure the OU is part of your sources to synchronize (Central Admin  Application Management  Manage Service Applications  User Profile Service  Configure Synchronization Connections). You also might have to manually start a profile synchronization (Central Admin  Application Management  Manage Service Applications  User Profile Service  Start Profile Synchronization).

16. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Create External Content Types Warning: If you are going to create your External Content Types using Windows Authentication, you will want to run SharePoint Designer from within SharePoint’s Domain. We now are going to open up SharePoint Designer 2010 and open up our BI Site. In the Navigation Pane, you will see a Site Object call External Content Types, and select it. If everything in the Ribbon is greyed out, click inside of the External Content Type work area (somewhere near the middle of the screen) to activate the buttons. Click New External Content Type…

38. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Sync Data to UPS Now that we have verified that our external data is making it across, and that we can update and read our data, let’s synchronize it up to our User Profile Service! Here is our UPS summary to start. Notice the Properties, there are 68.

40. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Sync Data to UPS Next, we need to add our Social Information to our User Properties. Central Admin  Application Management  Manage Service Applications  User Profile Service  Manage User Properties  New Property If you want to create a new Section for the Social Information, create it now, otherwise your new properties will end up in the Custom Properties Section

41. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Sync Data to UPS Do the same thing to import the other 3 properties…

42. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Sync Data to UPS Now that we have our new properties added, let’s take a look at our UPS summary…

43. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Sync Data to UPS Let’s click on Manage User Profiles and look at Fred… (Central Admin  Application Management  Manage Service Applications  User Profile Service  Manage User Profiles)

44. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Update Data So now, let’s update Fred’s information by going to our list, and entering some Data…

45. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Update Data The final thing we have to do, is run a Full Profile Synchronization (Central Admin  Application Management  Manage Service Applications  User Profile Service  Start Profile Synchronization  Start Full Synchronization  OK)

46. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Verify Data Now let’s look at Fred’s MySite…

47. © 2011 PLANET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Conclusion Having the ability to distribute social information is very important, but having the ability for a user to modify their information without having to send an email to the AD Team is crucial to keep data updated and reliable. By following the steps above, we can keep staff up to date with their social information and keep the OCIO happy. We can now view all user social information, and have it synchronized with the User Profile Service!
