SharePoint 2013 Administrator, Part 3 of 5: Sites

Course description

SharePoint Sites are the reason for SharePoint to exist in your organization. In this course, we’ll be looking at how to set up Web Applications to hold your content, Site Collections to manage the metadata and permissions of your groups of sites, and the sites themselves and their connection to the rest of the farm. We’ll cover how to set up quotas and clean up policies for your users so that you’ll stay in control of your servers, and how to get the greatest benefit from SharePoint by ensuring that your implementation is well matched with your desktop software. Finally, we’ll walk through the process of setting up site permissions and delegating the appropriate amount of control to the site owners and then testing the whole process with your site owners to ensure you’re delivering what they thought they were asking for. Once you’ve gotten through that process, we’ll also look at how to train your standard users to take best advantage of the final implementation.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that the students are familiar with Windows Server administration and operations. Students should be comfortable with Windows Server 2008 and 2012 releases, and installation and basic operations of Microsoft SQL Server on same. It is helpful if Students have experience with SharePoint versions prior to 2013, though this is not required.
