Web Apps, Site Collections and URLs

Posted By: Posted Date: September 28, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

Restructuring some structures for our upcoming SharePoint 2010 intranet migration we come across some questions for which it is difficult to find the best solution. All the examples below is for internal intranet URLs.

We have two web applications that we want to be simply accessible as http://webapp1 and http://webapp2 on the intranet. This must also support URLs to site collections under the root as http://webapp1/sitecol1, http://webapp1/sitecol2 and so forth. So we need to create DNS cname records and host headers. Is the best way to accomplish this to use Managed Paths Internal URLs or is there a better way?

We have a third web application containing several site collections for which we would like to have direct URL access as http://sitecolA, http://sitecolB etc. Are we limited to using Host Header Site Collections and thereby having to live with the limitations of that or is there a better way?

PS! We do not like the options to be done in IIS as we want SharePoint to be aware of and use these simple URLs.

How to create a single entry page for site collections in MOSS 2007

Hi,

I have 7 site collections containing a few hundred team collaboration sites. Some users are internal (intranet) but most are external (extranet). Extranet users are experiencing problems with losing links to their sites and forgetting which URLs to use. So I would like to create a single entry page that all users can enter after the logon process, which shows a list of sites they have permission to access, and other user-specific information. Perhaps relevant documents, tasks, recently modified documents etc.

I know this sounds like a 'My Site' but we want to use use a general welcome page instead. We use Windows authentication.
What is the best way of doing this and is it something that can be done in SharePoing Designer or does it need to be done in Visual Studio?

Many thanks in advance.

Global Navigation across Site Collections

MOSS 2007 Global Navigation across Site Collections I have couple of questions. a) Is there an easy way to share a global navigation between site collections? b) Portal has the navigation tabs (tab1..n). User doesn't have access to all the tabs, may have access to one or more tabs. Each tab represents a site collection. Is there a way to display the only tabs to which the users have access? If we can develop using SDK, please provide some hints. ÃÂ Thanks,

How to deploy dashboards made in dashboard designer to diferent site collections?

Hi I just migrated from sharepoint 2007 to 2010. We used to have performance point dashboards spread across libraries in subsites all across our primary site collection "Http://server:x" after I migrated I understand that I must migrate all performance point content to a new site or site collection made with the business intellingence template. I created a new site collection with this template (Http://server:x/sites/pps) and succesfully migrated all performance point content. Now I want to redeploy all the dashboards to their respective subsites in the "Http://server:x" site collection so that everything looks exactly as it did when we where using SharePoint 2007. But when I try to deploy to a site I only get the option to deploy it to the ("Http://server:x/sites/pps") site collection and its respective libraries. I wish to manage all dashboard content centralized in (Http://server:x/sites/pps) but I want to deploy dashboards to libraries across "Http://server:x" is this posible or how is Performance Point services supossed to work? I also having trouble with DashBoard designer. I have everthing running on a Virtual Machine test enviroment. With windows server 2008 r2, 4 gb ram. Everything installed in one machine. And Suddently DashBoard Designer Crashes In the event log I get the error Dashboa

Top Global Navigation across site collections(?)

Hi, My understanding at the conference was that SharePoint 2010 closed the gap in navigation in that 2010 could see across site collections thus allowing for you to have visibility of those site collections in your global navigation. However, I can't seem to locate this feature. Does anyone know how you can configure your global navigation to span across site collections? Thank you for your comments, Tim

Search across multiple site collections

I am working on a MOSS 2007 farm and like to know what would be a best way to setup Search so that I can search across multiple Site Collections? Basically, our SharePoint farm use to have only one site collection with lots of subsites. We reorganized and promoted a lot of those subsites to site collections. After the promotion, I noticed that on each of the new site collection under the search dropdown, the only search scope that was available was “This Site”. I was able to fix this by changing search settings and creating a custom scope by providing the link to the Search Center site that had already existed in the root site collection. However, when I try to search from any site collection using the "All Sites" search scope, no results are displayed and I get a blank page. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

Use centrally defined search scopes in departmental site collections?

I have SSE 2010 installed and functioning. Seven "shared" scopes have been defined and show as having the expected number of items. In my departmental web apps I have created Advanced Search and results pages so the users do not have to leave their own web app to do searches across those defined scopes. Unfortunately the only way I found to make those scopes available in their Advanced Search web part was to "copy" the shared scopes (they display in an "unused scopes" group with no options for use). The copy allows me to specify that the scope should appear in the Advanced Search web part and/or in the search box dropdown. Is there anyway to use those "unused" shared scopes without creating a complete copy set of them in every site collection? Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

version dependency while backup restore of SharePoint 2007 Site Collections

hi all

I am aware of a version dependency on the stsadm -o backup/restore operation.

But will the same dependency exist for a content DB backup restore..

i.e. for example will we able to restore a content DB backup taken from a server with version say 12.0.0.7777 to a server with say 12.0.0.6666 assuming that the versions of SQL is the same in both cases.

Will the version difference in SQL create issues

Thanks in advance

Host-named site collections and content deployment jobs (SharePoint 2007 Internet facing Web Sites)

Hi.

I have an editing web application with multiple site collections (only accessible internally on a dedicated port), and I've one public facing web application (on port 80). Now I want to create several host-named site collections in the public facing web application (to limit the number of web apps in the farm), and then use content deployment jobs to push the content from the site collections on the editing web app into these host-named site collections.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
Do you see any issues?

Live Collections across Network between WPF Apps

Is is possible for 2 computers to run the same or client/server WPF Apps - that share the same ObservableCollection<T> ??

I want to setup a client/server scenario where a collection of ~1000 items can be edited on the 'server' WPF app - where changes are also applied to the Client's Collections.

we are talking general CRUD actions...

it's important that the edit's are updated very fast , and without downloading the whole collection once more...

is this possible with .NET ?

is it possible to do without doing all the CRUD by hand ? (homemade TCP talking)
