SPC2014 Governance from SPC2014

In this session, I am going to expose you to a *framework* with which you can use out-of-box technologies and features to automate SharePoint operations and governance and, in fact, Active Directory operations and governance as well.

I will share tools and scripts that I've used in customers, including NBC Sports, where we used this framework to manage our operations for the broadcast of the Winter Olympics last month. You'll get access to all of the scripts, and some customers put them in place "as is", but the real goal is to open your mind to new ways of putting the pieces together to more effectively manage IT with SharePoint. While a background in PowerShell is helpful, even if you're new to PowerShell you'll be equipped with everything you need to succeed.

Examples will include Site Provisioning, group management, and user administration.

SharePoint Customer Auditing Process

SharePoint Customer Auditing Process

 

Auditing SharePoint is one of the indispensable processes before deploying new solutions on the existing farm since SharePoint is going to be more critical to the corporate business. There are many reasons why auditing before SharePoint deployments is really important:

• dentifying things are properly configured in SharePoint farm
• Identifying the impaction of hardware and software on SharePoint performance
• Measuring security in several different aspects
• Infrastructure involved to operate SharePoint
• Customization maintenance

The wheel describes several parts you need to look at when conducting a SharePoint audit. This whitepaper has been written by 5 SharePoint MVP.

  Microsoft Office 365 Deployment Readiness Tool

  The Office 365 Deployment Readiness Tool is now apart of Office 365 Setup and OnRamp for Office 365 and MOSDAL!

  Click here to sign in / sign up and evaluate your readiness for Office 365!

  PLEASE NOTE: You will need Internet Explorer 9 or above to get the automatic checks previously in the Office 365 Deployment Readiness Tool.

  Other useful tools are now conveniently located on the tools page of the Office 365 Admin Center.

  Visit http://portal.microsoftonline.com/tools (requires Office 365 account).

OnRamp

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj993929.aspx

Run automatic checks to test your environment to make sure it’s ready for Office 365. No changes are made and no data is stored while these checks are being run. Be sure that you’re running the checks from a domain-joined computer in your on-premises environment. To run all the tests, you must have the necessary credentials and your workstation has to meet all the requirements. They are checked before the tests run. If your computer does not meet all the requirements, you can follow the provided links to install needed components.

We recommend that you also run automatic checks again after completing the items in the Readiness steps. These checks detect any errors, such as missing DNS records or Active Directory users that need to be fixed before you set up directory synchronization. It’s important to note that OnRamp checks are run against your on-premises environment, so DNS checks will verify internal resolution. Also, OnRamp will look at all of your Active Directory domains. You may see auto check failures for domains that you won’t be using in Office 365. Those failures can be safely ignored.

Microsoft Online Services Diagnostics and Logging (MOSDAL) Support Toolkit

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=626

The Microsoft Online Services Diagnostics and Logging (MOSDAL) Support Toolkit performs network diagnostics and collects system configuration, network configuration, and logging information for applications that are used to connect to Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS-S) or to Microsoft Office 365. The logs and diagnostic information that the tool generates provide data that helps technical support professionals troubleshoot configuration, network, installation, and other service-related issues. The MOSDAL Support Toolkit collects log files, registry keys, and configuration settings that would otherwise require time-consuming and labor-intensive collection by using separate tools.

SharePoint Admin Dashboard

Easy to insal a WSP (I try it for you)https://spdash.codeplex.com/releases/view/45433 

Project Description Easily compare server configuration.

"Grid" layout shows configuration of the full farm in one table.

Export to Excel for filter, sort, and pivot chart.

Benefits	Features
Do admin tasks faster Scale up beyond RDP Add new servers without fear Verify consistent configuration	New WSP format Central Admin > Monitoring > SPDash easy navigation View server config data in table format Export to Excel Timer job refreshes data cache of XML files Wide screen layout for SharePoint 2013 Automatic hive (14/15) detection for SP2010/2013 support

Data Sources

• WMI query
• Global Assembly Cache
• IIS web.config
• Logical disk size and space
• File versions (to confirm patching)
• Display Local Administrator members
• Kerberos SPN for all managed accounts and farm machines

 

Background

SharePoint farms have many servers with various services, applications, traffic patterns, and purposes.

Having "grid" scripts like the below sample screen-shots can save lots of time. What's a "grid"? Simple.

I wanted to build a real-time Excel spreadsheet to display ALL configuration without RDP.

RDP won't scale. While great for 1-2 servers, it's awful for 10+ servers.

Having confidence in your configs and knowing everything is 100% consistent are BIG steps forward for most admins.

Dynamic Website Activation in IIS 8.5 and Limitation 100

By Gary Ericson July 11, 2013

In IIS 8.5, when there are a large number of configured sites (100 or greater, by default), the service will not activate any of the sites when the service is started.
Dynamic website activation is only available in IIS 8.5.

Problem

When the Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2012 service starts at system boot-up, it automatically activates all configured websites. This means that the first time any site is accessed, it will be available and respond quickly. However, for a system with a large number of sites configured, it not only takes a lot of time and resources to activate all those sites at once, but the sites can use a large amount of memory. If the majority of the sites are accessed infrequently, this can be an unneccesary waste of system resources.

Note that "activation", in this context, refers to a process in which IIS registers a site with the HTTP protocol stack (HTTP.SYS), which is part of the Windows Server operating system. This activation is not to be confused with the action of creating a worker-process for a site.

Solution

In IIS 8.5, when there are a large number of configured sites (100 or greater, by default), the service will not activate any of the sites when the service is started. Instead, IIS will activate each site only when it receives the first request for the site. This reduces the amount of system resources required by IIS, especially if a large number of the sites are accessed infrequently. The first request to the site will take some time as the site is activated, but subsequent accesses will respond normally.

Step by Step Instructions

Configure Dynamic Website Activation

By default, IIS 8.5 uses a threshold of 100 sites:

• If there are less than 100 sites configured, then IIS will activate all sites at start-up.
• If there are 100 or more sites configured, then IIS will activate each site as it is accessed the first time.

You can change this threshold value by using the Configuration Editor.

1. Open IIS Manager.
2. Select the server in the Connections pane, and then double-click Configuration Editor.
   
3. Select the section system.applicationHost/webLimits.
   
4. Set the value of dynamicRegistrationThreshold to the new threshold value (the default value is 100).
   
5. Restart IIS.

Summary

In this guide, you have modified the threshold value used by IIS to determine the threshold over which the dynamic site activation features is effective.

This new TLG uses a fictional Microsoft account and company and the on-premises base configuration test lab to set up a working trail subscription for Office 365 ProPlus, which includes Exchange Online, Lync Online, and SharePoint Online.

Hey TLG and Office Server 2013 fans,

Cloud products like Office 365 and Windows Azure have gotten a lot of attention recently as organizations see the savings of time and money they can offer. As a result, we’ve begun to publish new Test Lab Guides (TLGs) that set you on course to understand how cloud workloads can fit with your existing environment.

For example, we recently published Configuring the Windows Server 2012 Base Configuration Test Lab for Public Cloud Technologies to show you how to set up an on-premises environment that’s ready for public cloud integration.

Now, we’ve built on this TLG with another that shows you how to set up a trial Office 365 subscription: Configuring an Office 365 Trial Subscription. This new TLG uses a fictional Microsoft account and company and the on-premises base configuration test lab to set up a working trail subscription for Office 365 ProPlus, which includes Exchange Online, Lync Online, and SharePoint Online.

If you are evaluating Office 365 or Office 365 ProPlus for your business, take a look at this new TLG and give it a try. Note that this trial subscription is based on a fictional account and company and should not be used to Fast Track to a pilot or production configuration of Office 365.

How Do You Enforce Governance in SharePoint?

Governance is the set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes that control how an organization's business divisions and IT teams work together to meet organizational goals.

http://veroniquepalmer.com/2013/11/11/how-do-you-enforce-governance-in-sharepoint/?goback=%2Egde_3854668_member_5812545286442086403#%21

A poster you can download in PDF or Visio format. It shows the major governance areas (IT governance, information management, and application management) and summarizes the key information you need to understand about each area.

Learn how to govern applications for SharePoint 2013 by creating a customization policy and understanding the app model, branding, and life-cycle management.

             http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn531035.aspx

I use this tool for the governance and to make a Dashboard (Automate it):
