  7. Windows SharePoint Services (WSS 3.0) Main Features • What do you get out of the box (OOB)? • Rapid provisioning of team web sites • Active Directory integration for authentication and security • Functionality to create document libraries, task lists, team calendars, custom lists, contact lists, and surveys • Tight integration with MS Office, including Excel, Outlook, and InfoPath • Support for wikis and blogs • Document check-in/check-out and versioning • Information recovery (two-level recycle bin) • 1 workflow (three-state) • Search capability (see next slide) Source: WSS 3.0 Features guide http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb400753.aspx

  8. WSS 3.0 Search capability • Finds information of any type, stored in the current site, or a subsite. • Provides free-text searching in documents, files, and all list content.

  11. Installing WSS 3.0 • Install WSS 3.0 binaries • Run Configuration wizard • The wizard will provision the Central Administration site and create configuration database • When finished, configure your SP environment using Central Administration site

  14. Basic Install Issues • Lack of manageability • Authentication issues (half-baked Kerberos) • Service accounts – there are none • Moving from a single server to a farm is a nightmare • SQL Express limitations: 1 CPU, 1 GB of RAM max, 4GB storage limit

  15. Document Library

  16. Task list

  17. Calendar

  18. Other Lists • Announcements • Surveys • Link lists • Contacts • Custom list – create your own fields!

  19. Datasheet View – it’s just like Excel!

  20. WSS 3.0 Technical Specs • Supports stand-alone or farm installation • Requires Windows Server 2003 or 2008 • 2.5 GHz CPU (3 GHZ recommended) • 1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended) • Requires IIS 6.0 (with SMTP for email functionality) • .NET Framework 3.0 • ASP.NET 2.0 enabled • SQL Server 2000 SP4 (SQL 2005 SP2 recommended)

  21. WSS 3.0 Hardware requirements Source: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288751.aspx

  22. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS 2007) Main Features • All WSS 3.0 features • Similar basic hardware and software requirements • Business data catalog (BDC) • User Profiles (Personalization services) • My Sites • Templates • 7 workflows (Approval, Signature, Collect Feedback, etc.) • InfoPath services (web-based Infopath forms) • RSS feeds, enterprise search

  25. Takeaways • The “Free SharePoint” version (WSS 3.0) offers a lot of OOB functionality: rapid site provisioning, AD integration, MS Office integration, versioning support • MOSS 2007 offers all of WSS functionality plus additional templates, user profiles (My Sites), Business Data Catalog (BDC), robust enterprise search, BI, RSS feeds • Both products can be customized and extended using SharePoint Designer (free program), PowerShell, or Visual Studio (.NET dev)

  26. Next steps • Study MS resources: • For end users- MS Office Online SharePoint site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/default.aspx • For IT Pros- SharePoint Server on TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/default.aspx • SharePoint Community Portal: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/sharepoint/default.aspx • Set-up test VMs using both WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 • Avoid “shiny object syndrome” • Avoid “Basic Install”
