  3. Module Overview • Performing Initial Farm Configuration • Configuring the SharePoint Logical Structure • Exploring the SharePoint Web Application and Physical Architecture

  4. Lesson 1: Performing Initial Farm Configuration • Walkthrough: Farm Configuration Wizard • Farm Configuration Wizard • Service Applications: An Overview • Managed Accounts: An Overview

  5. Walkthrough: Farm Configuration Wizard In this walkthrough you will: • Run the Farm Configuration Wizard • Identify the configuration tasks performed by the Wizard

  6. Farm Configuration Wizard • Applies SharePoint defaults • Service applications • Application connections • Managed accounts • Why? • Simple, out-of-box defaults • Testing, training, development • Why Not? • Custom farm configuration

  7. Service Applications: An Overview • Service applications host specific SharePoint functionality • Search Service Application • Business Connectivity Service • Managed Metadata Service • User Profile Service • Web applications connect to the service application* • A service app’s application connection (proxy) allows connections to the service app • Web applications connect to the service app proxy* • Connections are grouped into application connection (proxy) groups * In fact, web applications are associated with an application proxy group, which provides connections (proxies) to one or more service apps

  8. Service Applications: An Overview • Architecture • MOSS 2007: Shared Service Provider (SSP) • SharePoint Foundation 2010 • Service application architecture • Windows Communication Framework • Extensible • Setup and administration • MOSS 2007: SSP administration • SharePoint 2010 • Central Administration • Remote management and monitoring • Windows PowerShell

  9. Service Applications: An Overview • Flexible topology • MOSS 2007: Web app  SSP  All services in the SSP • SharePoint 2010 • Web app  proxy group  service apps • Cross-farm service consumption over HTTPS

  10. Service Applications: An Overview (Whiteboard)

  11. Managed Accounts: An Overview • What is the security and management challenge with service accounts in an enterprise? • SharePoint managed accounts • SharePoint can change the password of managed accounts in Active Directory and the password in the service configuration • Managing managed accounts • Registration • Password change • Password expiration and automatic password change

  12. Lesson 2: Configuring the SharePoint Logical Structure • SharePoint Logical Structure • Request a Page from a SharePoint Site • Create a Web Application • Create a Site Collection • Site Collection Settings • Subsites, Site Collections, and Content Databases • Managed Paths • Content Databases

  14. Request a Page from a SharePoint Site http://intranet.contoso.com DNS Query intranet.contoso.com Resolved 10.0.0.11 http request to 10.0.0.11:80host header “intranet.contoso.com” intranet.contoso.com IIS SharePoint SQL Content DB

  15. Create a Web Application • Application Management  Web Applications  Manage Web Applications  New • Unique URL: IP address:Port + host header • Typical: User port 80 (or SSL) with host header • Application name: based on your naming standards • Authentication mode: Classic or Claims-Based • Public URL: for load balancing • Application pool • Shared app pool for reduced RAM overhead • Separate app pools for process isolation • Shared identity for simplicity • Separate identities for manageability and audit • Database name: based on your naming standards • DNS: A record (not CNAME)

  16. Load Balancing http://intranet.contoso.com DNS intranet.contoso.com :80 intranet.contoso.com intranet.contoso.com WFE WFE intranetContent DB SQL

  17. Create a Site Collection • Application Management  Site Collections  Create site collections • Ensure you’re focused on the correct Web application • Title • URL • Top level: / • Additional site collections: / [managed path /] SiteName • Recommend URLs with no spaces (%20) and MixedCase • Site definition: Template selection • Sub-sites: List is filtered based on parent site settings intranet.contoso.com Site Collection Top-Level Site Content Database

  18. Site Collection Settings • Application Management  Site Collections • Ownership, Administration, and Access • Quotas • Site collection locks • Self-service site creation • Site use confirmation and deletion

  24. Content Databases • Site collections and content databases • A site collection cannot span content databases • Out-of-box tools recovery tools require restoration of a content database • Scalability support • 300 CDBs per Web application • CDBs per SQL server dependent on RAM • 200 GB per content database is supported • 100 GB per site collection • 250,000 Web sites per site collection • 2,000 under any one Web site • Create a Content Database • Add a Site Collection to a Content Database

  25. Create a Content Database • Application Management  Databases  Manage content databases • Ensure you’re focused on the correct Web application • Add a content database • Database name: based on your naming standards

  26. Add a Site Collection to a Content Database • Create a site in a content database • Central Administration • Content database with most available sites • If a tie, the content database with the lowest GUID wins • Windows PowerShell: New-SPSite -ContentDatabase parameter • Move site collections between content databases • Move-SPSite

  28. Lesson 3: Exploring the SharePoint Web Application and Physical Architecture • SharePoint and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 and 7.5 • SharePoint Web Application Components • web.config • SharePoint Root • SharePoint Databases • Customized vs. Uncustomized Pages

  29. SharePoint and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 and 7.5 • HttpModules and HttpHandlers participate in all requests to the server • ASP.NET configuration integrated in user interface • Request auditing and error debugging • Request Tracing for 500 errors • .NET API for IIS configuration settings • No Metabase • Configuration stored in applicationHost.config • Delegated configuration and administration

  30. SharePoint Web Applications Components • New SharePoint web application  new IIS site • Port and host header binding specified when creating a SharePoint Web app • Application pool & associated identity • Efficiency: shared app pool = shared process, overhead • Isolation: separate app pool = separate process, overhead • Root directory is a subfolder of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\virtualdirectories • web.config for the SharePoint application • Virtual directories point to other folders, each with its own .NET configuration (web.config) • HttpModules are responsible for adding the SharePoint object model properties to the memory space

  31. web.config • XML-based file in the root folder of each Web application or virtual directory • Sections (XML elements) group the configuration • SafeControls: defines what controls can be used on a SharePoint page. • SafeMode: determines whether pages are allowed to execute in-line .NET code. • MergedActions: allows changes to web.config without actually modifying the file, by merging actions specified in selected and other files. • BlobCache: enables caching various file types in a location on the Web front end, rather than pulling files from the database for each request.

  32. SharePoint Root • Majority of SharePoint files reside in a single directory on the Web server called the SharePoint Root • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14 • Top-level folders • TEMPLATE folder • Synchronization of the SharePoint root

  33. SharePoint Databases • Config database: servers and services in the farm • Service applications: one or more databases • Web applications: one or more content databases • Plus shared content from the SharePoint root • Content database • List items, document versions • Workflow instances • Web Part properties • Audit logs • Sandboxed solutions • User names and rights

  34. Customized vs. Uncustomized Pages • New site: Site definition generates initial content • Some pages are shared across sites, e.g. DEFAULT.ASPX • Page is actually stored in the SharePoint root • Uncustomized page • Resides in SharePoint root • Content of page (e.g., definition of which Web parts appear)is stored in the content database • Customized page • Modify the page itself using a tool: SharePoint Designer 2010 • .aspx page is stored in the content database • HttpModule analyzes URI of request, then gets page from content database or (if page is not there) SharePoint root • Service packs overwrite files in SharePoint root

  35. Lab: Creating a SharePoint 2010 Intranet • Exercise 1: Creating a Web Application • Exercise 2: Creating a Site Collection • Exercise 3: Creating a Site Collection in a New Content Database Logon information Estimated time: 30 minutes
