SHAREPOINT IS ONE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL products in Microsoft’s history. It can be found in
small businesses, universities, and Fortune 500 companies. SharePoint 2010, the latest release, contains
many new areas for existing and new SharePoint server administrators and site administrators.
This book will help you meet the new challenges SharePoint administrators face in their day to day
deals with the product.
Existing SharePoint administrators will fi nd there are a lot of changes in SharePoint 2010 with
which they may not be very familiar. One of the major changes covered extensively is the move
away from a single farm Shared Service Provider to a system of Service Applications which need to
be confi gured and managed. For example Access Services, new to SharePoint with this release will
allow your users to actually convert Access 2010 databases to run within the browser hosted by
SharePoint.
Our intention in writing this book was to help you with what is, being honest, a complicated bit of
Software to manage and one of the main requirements required with SharePoint is patience when
things don’t work out as expected! This book is there to guide you, to provide help when you need
it. Each lesson looks at one particular area of administration giving you the tools and information
to get a service up and running. Video fi les accompany each lesson, extending the information given
in the book with real world experience and useful tips.
It would be an unusual day in the life of a SharePoint administrator to know the answer to every
question encountered when managing this product. This book will go a long way to helping you
understand the questions, provide many answers to common issues, and give you a thorough
grounding in the skills required to manage what is in our view the best product ever released
by Microsoft. |
