Exercise 1: Adding SharePoint Functionality to Windows PowerShell

Scenario

To automate SharePoint management, you must use Windows PowerShell. But Windows PowerShell does

not load SharePoint .dll files or snap-ins by default. In this exercise, you learn several ways to add

SharePoint management functionality to Windows PowerShell.


1. Load SharePoint .dll files using .NET reflection.

2. Add the SharePoint snap-in using the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet.

3. Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.

! Task 1: Load SharePoint .dll files using .NET reflection

! Log on to SP2010-WFE1 as CONTOSO\SP_Admin with the password Pa$$w0rd.

! In the Windows Quick Launch, click Windows PowerShell.

! To identify the assemblies that are currently loaded, type the following command and then press ENTER:

[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | ForEach-Object { Split-Path $_.Location -

Leaf } | Sort

Microsoft.SharePoint.dll is not in the list. To use the SharePoint object model, you must load the

SharePoint .dll files.

! Type the following command and then press ENTER:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

The output displays GAC, version, and location information for the assembly.

! Repeat step 3 to display the loaded assemblies.

Tip: You can press the UP key to scroll through previously executed commands.

The listing includes the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll.

! Task 2: Add the SharePoint snap-in using the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet


Get-PSSnapin

The output lists the snap-ins that have been added to the current session. The SharePoint snap-in is

not listed.

new site with your Windows PowerShell scripts.

The main task for this exercise is as follows:

1. Modify a list item using Windows PowerShell.

! Task 1: Modify a list item using Windows PowerShell

! Open your newly created Sales site.

! Open the Announcements list, and then observe the title of the only item in the list.

! In SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, type the following commands:

$gc = Start-SPAssignment

$spsite = $gc | Get-SPSite "http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/Sales"

$splist = $spsite.rootweb.lists["Announcements"]

$splistitem = $splist.items[0]

$splistitem["Title"] = "Our SharePoint 2010 Sales site is now live!"

$splistitem.update()

$gc | Stop-SPAssignment

The list item will be updated. Notice that you did not use a cmdlet to update a list item. There are

things that will require direct access to the object model and, as such, you need to be careful to

dispose of objects you create.

! Switch to Internet Explorer and then refresh the Announcements list, and then observe that the title of the list item has been updated.

! Close all Internet Explorer and Windows PowerShell windows.

2 Lab Instructions: Configuring Content Management

Lab A: Configuring List Throttling and Remote BLOB Storage

Scenario

You have just installed a new SharePoint 2010 server farm at Contoso, Ltd. Your previous SharePoint 2007

environment included some very large lists that performed poorly for end users and large document

libraries that increased the size of content databases and therefore the time required to perform backup

and restore operations. Your revised governance policy for SharePoint 2010 requires that large lists have

controls to manage performance and that the size of content databases be more carefully managed. To

support these requirements, you have been tasked with implementing list throttling and Remote BLOB

Storage.

! Log on to the virtual machine for this lab

1. Start 10174A-CONTOSO-DC-D.

1. After CONTOSO-DC has completed startup, start 10174A-SP2010-WFE1-D.

! In SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, create 4,000 items in the new list by typing the following

commands:

$site = Get-SPSite "http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT"

$web = $site.rootweb

$list = $web.Lists["Computer Inventory"]

$i = 1

do {

#add item

$newitem = $list.items.Add()

$newitem["Title"] = "Client-" + $i.ToString().PadLeft(4, "0");

$newitem["Computer Name"] = "Client-" + $i.ToString().PadLeft(4, "0");

$newitem["Serial Number"] = $i.ToString().PadLeft(8,"0");

$newitem.Update()

$i++

}

while ($i -le 4000)

$web.dispose()

Computer Visions



$site.dispose()

You can watch the progress of the script by refreshing the Computer Inventory list page in the IT

Web.

! Task 4: Observe the list view threshold

! Open the List Settings of the Computer Inventory list, and then verify that the List view threshold

message indicates that the list contains 4,000 items.

! Task 5: Add items to exceed the list threshold

! Task 6: Experience list throttling

! Switch to Internet Explorer and refresh the view of the Computer Inventory list.

! Open the List Settings of the Computer Inventory list, and then verify that the List view threshold

message indicates that the list contains 9,000 items.

! Attempt to delete the list.

An Error page appears that indicates the operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view

threshold.

! Return to the Computer Inventory list, point at the Title column header, and then click the drop-

down arrow that appears.

A message appears: Cannot show the value of the filter. The field may not be filterable, or the number

of items returned exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator.

! Task 7: Configure list throttling

You have created an intranet on a new SharePoint 2010 farm at Contoso, Ltd. You have been tasked with

helping set up users, groups, and permissions on the intranet until governance and training are in place,

at which point permission management will be delegated to site collection administrators. Additionally,

you must configure SharePoint to support the business requirement that the internal security and

compliance audit team has the ability to access all information stored on the intranet.




Computer Visions



Exercise 1: Managing SharePoint Groups The IT site collection must be secured so that users in the IT department can make changes and users

from other departments can view but not modify content. Additionally, you have been asked to add a

group to each team site that assigns the Design permission level to its members.


1. Add a user to a site’s Members group.

2. Verify that the member can sign in.

3. Add a user to a site’s Visitors group.

4. Verify that the visitor can sign in.

5. Create a new group and assign it the Design permission level.

! Task 1: Add a user to a site’s Members group


! Open Windows Internet Explorer®, and then browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT.

! Add the user CONTOSO\SanjayS to the site, assigning him to the Information Technology Members [Contribute] group.

You have now added Sanjay Shah, the Contoso chief technology officer (CTO), as a contributor to the

IT intranet Web, which gives him Read and Write permissions.

! Task 2: Verify that the member can sign in

! Browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT. Sign in to the site as CONTOSO\SanjayS with the

password Pa$$w0rd. Add a new task to the Tasks list titled Select SharePoint Governance Team.

selected automatically.

! Create a group named Usage Monitors with the description Use this group to grant people permission to view Web Analytics data for the SharePoint site: Information Technology Dept. Assign the group the View Usage permission level.

! Add the user, CONTOSO\LolaJ to the group.

! Task 2: Attempt to view Web analytics reports

! Browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT, and then sign in as CONTOSO\LolaJ with the

password Pa$$w0rd. You will be denied access. Browse to the usage reports page

http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/it/_layouts/usageDetails.aspx. Again, you will be denied access

because, although you have permission to access Web analytics data, you do not yet have permission

to view the default application pages that present that data.

! Task 3: Add a permission to the custom permission level

! Sign into the IT site as CONTOSO\SP_Admin with the password Pa$$w0rd. Edit the View Usage

permission level, adding the View Application Pages permission.

! Task 4: Validate the functionality of the custom permission level

! Browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT, and then sign in as CONTOSO\LolaJ with the

password, Pa$$w0rd. You will be denied access. Browse to the site settings page,

http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/it/_layouts/settings.aspx. Examine the Site Web Analytics reports and the Site Collection Web Analytics reports.

Results: After this exercise, you should have created a new custom permission level assigned to a

custom group that gives users the ability to view Web Analytics reports.

Computer Visions



Exercise 3: Managing Permissions and Inheritance You want to create a folder in which Lola Jacobsen can save usage reports she generates. Because Lola is

not in the IT department itself, she should not have Contribute permission to the entire IT Web. In this

exercise, you manage permissions and experience the behavior of the security-trimmed SharePoint

interface.


1. Add a document and a folder to a library.

2. Assign permissions to a folder.

3. Verify the behavior of SharePoint permissions.

! Task 1: Add a document and a folder to a library

! Browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT. Sign in to the site as CONTOSO\SP_Admin with

the password Pa$$w0rd.

! Open the Shared Documents document library. Upload the document D:\Labfiles\LAB06\ IT Policies and Procedures for SharePoint 2010.

! Create a new folder in the document library named Usage Reports.

! Task 2: Assign permissions to a folder

! Configure permissions on the Usage Reports folder so that the only permission on the folder is one

that gives CONTOSO\LolaJ the Full Control permission level.

! Task 3: Verify the behavior of SharePoint permissions

! Browse to http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/IT. Sign in to the site as CONTOSO\LolaJ with the

password Pa$$w0rd. You will be denied access because LolaJ does not have permission to the home

page. Browse to the URL of the Shared Documents document library. You are able to see the Usage Reports folder but not the policies document.

! Close all open Internet Explorer windows.

Results: After this exercise, you should have configured a list and list item with custom permissions.

Computer Visions



Exercise 4: Creating a Web Application Policy The SharePoint governance plan at Contoso specifies that a group of internal auditors will have the ability

to view all content to ensure compliance with information security and information management policies.

This group will have Read access to content. Additionally, a group must have the ability to access all

content with Full Control permission in the event that noncompliant content must be removed, but the

group with this level of access will not include any user accounts unless and until action must be taken.

Finally, the environment must support the ability to deny one or more users access to SharePoint, in the

event of a security incident.


1. Add a user to a group.

2. Create groups.

3. Create a Read Web application policy.

4. Create a Full Control Web application policy.

5. Create a deny Web application policy.

6. Verify the behavior of SharePoint Web application policies.

! Task 1: Add a user to a group

! On SP2010-WFE1, start Active Directory Users and Computers with the Run as different user option. Enter the user name CONTOSO\Administrator and the password Pa$$w0rd.

! Open the Users container. Create a new group named SharePoint Content Auditors. Add

CONTOSO\JimD to the SharePoint Content Auditors group.

2. Change default resource measure points.

3. Test modified sandboxed resource measures.

4. Deactivate the bad solution.

! Task 1: Review default resource measures

! Run SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator.

! To export a list of default point values, type the following command:

$spusercodeservice = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUserCodeService]::Local

$spusercodeservice.ResourceMeasures > c:\ResourceMeasures.txt

! Open the file C:\ResourceMeasures.txt.

This file contains a listing of the resource measures that are monitored for sandboxed solutions.

! Find the section for SharePointDatabaseQueryCount, and then record the current values of

ResourcesPerPoint and AbsoluteLimit. Close the file.

! Task 2: Change default resource measure points

! In Administrator: SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, type the following commands:


$obj = $spusercodeservice.ResourceMeasures["SharePointDatabaseQueryCount"]

$obj.ResourcesPerPoint = 1

$obj.Update()

$obj | Select-Object Name,ResourcesPerPoint

This script sets the ResourcesPerPoint property for SharePointDatabaseQueryCount to 1 and will

cause SharePoint database queries to increase the resource usage point count very quickly.


iisreset

IIS restarts and enables the new resource settings.

! Close Administrator: SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.

! Task 3: Test modified sandboxed resource measures

! Switch to the instance of Internet Explorer that displays the IT intranet Web.

It will take a few seconds to load the Web, because you recently reset IIS.

! From the All Site Content page, create a new announcement in the Announcements list, with the

title My Next Announcement.


Computer Visions



! In the Web’s Solutions Gallery, observe that the BadReceiver solution shows no resource usage. That

is because the timer job has not yet calculated resource usage for the solution.

If you see resource usage of 2.00, then you were lucky! The timer jobs executed just in time. Skip to

Step 6.

! Repeat Task 1 of Exercise 2 to run the sandboxed solutions timer jobs.

! Refresh the view of the IT intranet Web Solutions Gallery.

! Observe that the resource usage of the solution is increasing more rapidly.

If you do not see the updated resource usage, then you may need to wait for up to 5 minutes for the

timer jobs to execute.

! Open Internet Explorer, and then browse to https://sp2010-wfe1:10000.

A message indicates the following: There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.

This message appears because the certificate is issued by the server itself, and not from a trusted

certificate authority. In a production environment in which you had established your certificate

authority using a certificate from a trusted certificate root, this message would not appear.

! Click Continue to this website (not recommended).

The Central Administration site will open in secure mode.

! Click the Security link, and then browse to the Managed Accounts page.

! In the CONTOSO\SP_Farm row, click the Edit icon.

! Do not turn off the virtual machines

! Leave the virtual machines running. You use them in Lab C.

Computer Visions



Lab C: Configuring Service Applications

Scenario

Your company Contoso has adopted SharePoint 2010 for many reasons. One is its new, more optimized

service application environment and another is its ability to manage metadata. You want to allow sites in

the client-facing Web application to use managed metadata and keywords, but you do not want

managed metadata and keyword columns in the client Web application to have visibility into terms used

internally. Therefore, you must configure a separate Managed Metadata Service for the client Web

application.

2 Lab Instructions: User Profiles and Social Networking

Lab A: Configuring User Profiles

Scenario

Your corporation has never had an employee directory despite the multiple requests of the Human

Resources department. Since implementing SharePoint 2010, the Human Resources department has again

requested the directory be implemented using SharePoint user profiles. Previous IT policies prevented

making changes to Active Directory and forced the creation of a separate Human Resources database of

user information. You have been tasked to set up user profiles in the new farm using Active Directory as

the primary data source and integration with profile properties that come from the secondary HR data

source.




Computer Visions



Exercise 1: Creating a User Profile Service Application The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:

1. Start the Web Service Application Pool.

2. Create a user profile service application.

3. Start required SharePoint services.

! Log on to SP2010-WFE1 as CONTOSO\SP_Admin with password, Pa$$w0rd.

! In IIS Manager, ensure that the SharePoint Web Services Root application pool is started. Then

close IIS Manager.

This step is necessary because memory limitations in the lab environment may prevent the

application pool from starting automatically. This problem would manifest itself as a WCF error later

in this lab.

! Task 2: Create a user profile service application

! In Central Administration, click the Application Management link and then navigate to the Manage Service Applications page.

! Create a new User Profile Service Application with the following configuration:

! Name: User Profile Service Application

! Application pool name: UserProfilePool

! Application pool account: CONTOSO\SP_Farm

! Task 3: Start required SharePoint services

! In Central Administration, click System Settings and then navigate to the Services on Server page.

! Start the user profile service. Then start the user profile synchronization service. When prompted

to select the user profile application, select user profile service application, and enter the password,

Pa$$w0rd.

! Observe the Status of the user profile synchronization service.

A timer job is created that will configure user profile settings in the farm. When it has completed the

status of the service will change from Starting to Started.

! Click Monitoring and then navigate to the Timer Job Status page. Click Running Jobs and then

monitor the page. Press F5 to refresh the page. Repeat this step until the

ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob appears.

Note: It can take up to 5 minutes for the ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob to appear on the Running

Jobs list. If you don’t see the job start, re-start the timer service, but be sure you DO NOT restart it if

this job is running.

Computer Visions



! Monitor the page. Press F5 to refresh the page. Repeat this step until the

ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob disappears.

Note: It can take up to 15 minutes for the ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob to complete.

! Navigate to the Job History page. Confirm that the Status of ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob is

Succeeded.

! Click the System Settings link and then navigate to the Services on Server page. Confirm that the

Status of the user profile synchronization service is Started. Close SharePoint 2010 Central

Administration.

! Task 4: Verify successful service startup

! Open the Services console. Confirm that the following services are started:

! Forefront Identity Manager Service

! Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service

If a service is not started, then press F5 to refresh the view. Repeat this step until the services have

started.

Note: This can take several minutes.

! Close the Services console.

! Open the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0 \Synchronization Service\MaData. Confirm that the ILMMA folder exists. Confirm that a folder

named MOSS-GUID exists with today’s date.

If they do not exist, wait until the timer job has completed fully, at which point the folders will appear.

! Close the Windows® Explorer window that is showing the MaData folder.

! Task 5: Reset IIS

! Start Command Prompt using the Run as administrator option. Type iisreset, and then press

ENTER. After the command has completed, close Command Prompt.

! Task 6: Validate the service application

! In Central Administration, click Application Management and then navigate to the Manage Service Applications page. Open the Manage Profile Service page for user profile service application.

If an error is displayed, it is probably because the Web services have not completed startup following

the IISRESET operation. Press F5 to refresh the page until the error disappears.

! Confirm that there are numbers on the right side of the page, which indicates that the service

application is running. Then close Central Administration.

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have created a new User Profile Service

Application and started all services related to user profile synchronization.

Computer Visions



Exercise 4: Configuring File Types One of the requirements for Search at Contoso is that commonly used file types can be searched.

However, a user of the IT Search Center reports that she cannot search for a PDF document that she

knows is in the shared folder. In this exercise, you add a file type for PDFs so that SharePoint can index

PDFs.


1. Search for an existing PDF file.

2. Add a file type for PDFs.


4. Test the file type.

! Task 1: Search for an existing PDF file

! In the Search Center, perform a search for the keyword governance.

You should not see the file sharepoint governance checklist.pdf in the results even though it is in the

shared folder Data.

! Task 2: Add a file type for PDFs

! In SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, add a file type for files with the extension pdf.




! Task 4: Test the file type


The file sharepoint governance checklist.pdf is returned as a result.

! Observe its URL.

! Perform a search for the keyword Deployment.


Note: Deployment is a term in the PDF file. You must install a 64-bit iFilter for PDFs on all servers that perform indexing to index the contents of PDF documents successfully.

Results: After this exercise, you should have created a file type for PDFs.

Computer Visions



Exercise 5: Configuring Search Settings In this exercise, you configure search settings to address search requirements at Contoso, which include

use of a dedicated account to crawl content and minimization of the impact of crawling.


1. Explore query crawl logs.

2. Configure the default content access account.

3. Add a server name mapping.


5. Test server name mappings.

6. Explore host distribution rules.

7. Configure crawler impact rules.

! Locate the URL for the file SharePoint Governance checklist.pdf. If the file does not appear on the list of indexed URLs, wait a few moments, and then click the Search button.

! Task 2: Configure the default content access account

! Configure the default content access account as CONTOSO\SP_Crawl with the password Pa$$w0rd.

! Task 3: Add a server name mapping

! Create a server name mapping that presents content indexed in the content source \\sp2010-wfe1.contoso.com with the URL \\localhost.




! Task 5: Test server name mappings



! Observe that the URL is displayed as localhost instead of sp2010-wfe1.contoso.com.

! Task 6: Explore host distribution rules

! In SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, browse to the Host Distribution Rules page.

SharePoint notifies you that host distribution rules cannot be applied to a farm with only one crawl

database.

! Use the search box on the home page to search for the keyword sharepoint.

! Confirm that the Best Bet that you configured in Task 1 precedes the query-based search results.

! Task 3: Customize the presentation of Best Bets

! On the search results page, edit the Search Best Bets Web Part, and in its properties panel, click XSL Editor.

The Search Best Bets Web Part properties panel is displayed on the right.

Tip: You might need to scroll to the right, and to the top, to see the properties panel.

! Replace the All_Results/BestBetResults/Result element with the following:

<xsl:template match="All_Results/BestBetResults/Result">

<xsl:if test="$DisplayBB = 'True'" >

<xsl:if test="position() <= $BBLimit" >

<xsl:variable name="url" select="url"/>

<xsl:variable name="id" select="id" />

These are the results that the Contoso Search Team recommends, based on your

query. 

<xsl:if test="$DisplayTitle = 'True'" >



<img src="/_layouts/images/star.gif" alt="" />





<a href="{$url}" id="{concat('BBR_',$id)}">

Computer Visions



Exercise 2: Configuring a Thesaurus In this exercise, you configure the SharePoint thesaurus file to improve the efficiency of Search by refining

the search thesaurus. Keywords are automatically replaced with more accurate synonyms, and keywords

are expanded with similar words and phrases.


1. Perform searches with the default thesaurus.

2. Edit a thesaurus file.

3. Restart the Search service.

4. Test Search with the modified thesaurus.

! Task 1: Perform searches with the default thesaurus

! In the Search Center, perform searches with the following keywords. Write down the exact number of results that are returned:

! SharePoint

! MOSS

! WSS

! SharePoint Foundation

Tip: If the number of results is reported as an approximate number, page through the results so that

you can identify the exact number of results that were returned.

! Task 2: Edit a thesaurus file

! Open the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Data \Office Server\Applications\GUID-query-0\Config\tsenu.xml in Notepad. Replace the contents with the following text, and then save your changes and close Notepad:

<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">

<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">

<diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive>

<replacement>

<pat>MOSS</pat>

SharePoint

</replacement>

<expansion>

WSS

SharePoint Foundation

</expansion>

</thesaurus>

</XML>

! Task 3: Restart the Search service

! Run Command Prompt as administrator. Type the following commands:

net stop osearch14

net start osearch14

! Task 4: Test Search with the modified thesaurus

! In the Search Center, perform a search for the keyword sharepoint. Record the number of results.

Tip: If the number of results is reported as an approximate number, page through the results so that you can identify the exact number of results that were returned.

Computer Visions



! Perform a search for the keyword MOSS. Verify that the number of results is equal to the number of results returned when you searched for sharepoint.

Search results appear because searching for MOSS now produces search results for SharePoint through replacement.

! Perform a search for the keyword WSS. Write down the number of results.

More results appear than in Task 1 because searching for WSS also returns results for the term SharePoint Foundation because of expansion.

Results: After this exercise, you should have modified the English thesaurus file.

Computer Visions



Exercise 3: Configuring Noise Words In this exercise, you address the concerns of Contoso’s governance committee regarding searches for

keywords that are considered inappropriate in the workplace based on Contoso’s employee ethics

policies.


1. Perform a search.

2. Update a noise words file.

3. Restart the Search service.

4. Test the noise word.

! Task 1: Perform a search

! Perform a search for the keyword dirty.

The announcement Mud is dirty is returned as a result.

! Task 2: Update a noise words file

! Open the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Data \Office Server\Applications\GUID-query-0\Config\noiseenu.xml in Notepad. Add the word dirty to the end of the file on its own line. Save your changes, and then close Notepad.


! Run Command Prompt as administrator. Type the following commands:

net stop osearch14

net start osearch14

! Task 4: Test the noise word

! Perform a search for the keyword dirty.


Note: In a production environment, you should consider reindexing all content after modifying the noise word file so that the words are removed from the index itself.

Results: After this exercise, you should have added new noise words and validated the behavior of noise words.

Lab Review

Question: Why must you remove the <clear/> elements from the Web.config file?

Answer: The <clear/> elements prevent the SharePoint Secure Token service from finding users in the

forms-based authentication database. The service cannot build claims for the users, and authentication

would fail.

Question: If you are familiar with the configuration of forms-based authentication on Microsoft® Office

SharePoint® Server 2007, what is different about the number and type of Web applications required to

support forms-based authentication in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 in the client extranet scenario

presented in this lab?

Answer: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 required a separate, extended Web application to

support forms-based authentication. In SharePoint Server 2010, claims-based authentication accepts

claims from multiple authentication mechanisms, including both Windows® and forms-based

authentication. Therefore, only one Web application is required to support this scenario.

Lab Review

Question: What is a disadvantage of deploying a feature, in contrast to a solution, to a farm with more

than one server?

Computer Visions



Answer: The Features folder must be the same on all servers in the farm, so you must copy the feature to

all servers and keep the Features folder in sync. When you deploy a feature with a solution, SharePoint

updates the Features folder on each server in the farm.

Question: Why is it important in some cases, such as the solutions deployed in this lab, to deploy

solutions in a specific order?

Answer: Solutions can have dependencies upon other solutions. The Bug Database solution has

dependencies on the Application Template Core solution.

Lab Review

Question: In what scenarios would you create a crawl rule?

Answer: Answers may vary. A common scenario is a requirement to use an account other than the default

crawl account to index content. Another common scenario is a requirement to exclude a subset of data in a

content source from indexing.

Question: You have added documents from a popular application to a SharePoint document library, but they

are not being indexed. What must be done to ensure that a file is indexed both for its attributes and content?

Answer: A file type must be added, and an iFilter must be installed.

Question: You have extended a Web application and now search results are listed twice with different URLs.

How can you prevent this duplication of results?

Answer: Create a server mapping that replaces the URL of results from the extended Web application with the

URL of the original Web application, effectively hiding the duplicate results.

Question: Users want to be able to search list items based on a custom column in the list. How can you

accomplish this and make it easy for users to perform the queries in the user interface without typing

property:value search syntax?

Answer: Create a managed property for the custom column. Then, customize the Search Center to support

queries based on the new property.

Question: Users are complaining that too many results are being returned. How can you provide users a way

to narrow down their search results?

Answer: Implement search scopes that target specific sets of data.

Lab Review

Question: Why did you detach the content databases before the upgrade?

Answer: Although the content databases in this lab are small, the ones you may have in production could

be very large. Rather than upgrade in place, you can use the database attach approach to migrate the

content one database, or many, at a time.

Question: Why would you want to choose the visual upgrade approach?

Answer: Some customization may not work properly with the new master pages of SharePoint 2010. By

doing a visual upgrade, you can keep the old look and test the new look and feel for any incompatibilities.

Lab Review

Question: Why is it important that you run queries against the logging database rather than the

Microsoft SharePoint® content databases?

Answer: The logging database is configured to support any SELECT query, whereas the content database

must have special locking hints specified when doing queries. Third-party queries and applications could

cause locking and latency of the Web front ends, and therefore it is not recommended or supported to

run queries directly against SharePoint databases.
