Certification Overview


Microsoft Next Gen Certification Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert

(MCSE) You can’t be a “stand-alone” MCSE. You’re in an MCSE in a specialty, such as

Server Infrastructure Desktop Infrastructure Private Cloud Data Platform Business Intelligence Messaging Commuication SharePoint

For each MCSE, you must pass 3 core exams: 70-410: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 70-411: Administering Windows Server 2012 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services


MCSE: SharePoint To become a SharePoint MCSE, you must pass two

additional exams: 70-331: Core Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint

Server 2013 70-332: Advanced Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint

Server 2013 If you are already an MCITP for SharePoint, you can

pass exam 70-417: Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 This exam covers the topics of the three core MCSE

exams. You’ll still need to pass the additional SharePoint

2013 exams to earn your MCSE: SharePoint. You must be an existing MCITP to be eligible to take

this exam.


It’s Tough! Previously, the exams covered SharePoint-specific infrastructure

questions. The exams didn’t cover basic server farm infrastructure topics such as DHCP, DNS, firewalls, Active Directory, OS settings, etc.

The Microsoft Certified Master certification was introduced with the last product cycle. Becoming a Master is HARD! You’re expected to know anything related to basic server infrastructure that could affect your SharePoint farm.

Since the last SharePoint exams didn’t cover these details, people coming into the MCM program felt unprepared.

The current exam objectives were written by current SharePoint MCMS (yes, the smartest folks in our field!)

The resulting exam covers many topics not necessarily directly related to SharePoint, but that could affect the performance of your SharePoint farm.

Interactive ExamThe new SharePoint 2013 exams are more interactive than before. Not just multiple choice. More thoroughly tests your knowledge but can be a little intimidating because it feels like there are more opportunities for wrong answers.• Drag and drop servers into a server

configuration• Drag and drop words into a fill-in-the-

blank sentence• Arrange items in their correct order


Tips for Choosing Answers• For some exams, there will be right

answers and wrong answers.• For other exams, all the answers will

be right, but not in the circumstance described in the question. If more than one answer seems right, read the question closely. The answer usually lies in the question.

Plan Business Continuity Management


Plan for SQL high availability and disaster recovery

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Plan for SQL Server mirroring• Plan for SQL Server clustering• Plan for SQL Server AlwaysOn• Plan for SQL Server Log Shipping• Plan for storage redundancy• Plan for login replication


SQL Server AlwaysOn

The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature is a high-availability and disaster-recovery solution that provides an enterprise-level alternative to database mirroring. Introduced in SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn Availability Groups maximizes the availability of a set of user databases for an enterprise. An availability group supports a failover environment for a discrete set of user databases, known as availability databases, that fail over together. An availability group supports a set of read-write primary databases and one to four sets of corresponding secondary databases. Optionally, secondary databases can be made available for read-only access and/or some backup operations.


AlwaysOn and SharePoint

• Select or create a Windows Server failover cluster.

• Install SQL Server 2012 on each cluster node.

• Create and configure an availability group.

• Install and configure SharePoint 2013.

• Add the SharePoint databases to the availability group.

• Test failover for the availability group.


Plan SharePoint High Availability

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Plan for service distribution• Plan for service instance

configuration• Plan for physical server distribution• Plan for network redundancy• Plan for server load balancing• Plan for SQL Server aliases


Plan Backup and Restore

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Establish a SharePoint backup

schedule• Establish a SQL Server backup

schedule• Plan a non-production environment

content refresh• Plan for farm configuration recovery• Plan for service application recovery• Plan for content recovery

relevancy• Plan and configure index freshness• Plan and configure result sources• Plan and configure the end-user

experience• Plan and configure a search schema• Analyze search analytics reports


Plan and Configure a Web Content Management (WCM) WorkloadThis objective may include but is not limited to: • Plan and configure channels• Plan and configure product catalog and

topic pages• Plan and configure Design Manager• Plan and configure content deployment• Plan and configure display templates• Plan and configure variations


Device Channels

• Allows you to create a “channel” targeted to a particular mobile device, then assign a custom master page to it

• To create a new channel, go to SharePoint Design Manager Manage Device Channels. Add a new channel with its name and inclusion rules.


Product Catalog Pages• Way of creating a single page that displays

content from multiple list items (much like Page Layouts worked previously). But instead of creating different pages with different URLs, the URLs are dynamically created and rules determine what shows up on the page.

• To set up product catalog pages:• Make sure Cross-Site Collection Publishing

feature is enabled• In the list settings for your catalog list, go to

Catalog Settings page and check “Enable this library as a catalog”. Choose a field (or fields) that serve as a unique ID. Select the column in the list that’s bound to the term set used in your managed navigation.


Display Templates

• Used to “skin” a Content Search Web Part (replacement for the Content Query Web Part)

• You can set which Display Template to use in the CSWP.

• You can create new Display Templates in SharePoint Design Manager.


Plan an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Workload

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Plan and configure eDiscovery• Plan and configure document routing• Plan and configure co-authoring• Plan and configure record disposition and

retention• Plan large document repositories• Plan and configure software boundaries


eDiscovery• eDiscovery is how records managers and litigators

discover content in electronic format. Typically, eDiscovery requires searching for documents, websites, and email messages spread across laptops, email servers, file servers, and other sources, and collecting and acting on content that meets the criteria for a legal case.

• eDiscovery uses search service applications (SSAs) to crawl SharePoint farms. The most common configuration is to have a central search services farm that crawls multiple SharePoint farms. You can use this one search service to crawl all SharePoint content, or you can use it to crawl specific regions—for example, all SharePoint content in Europe.

• To crawl a SharePoint farm, search first uses a service application proxy to connect to it. The eDiscovery Center uses the proxy connection to send preservations to SharePoint sites in other SharePoint farms.


Holds• SharePoint preserves content on the site level. When you

preserve a site, its lists, libraries, and subsites are preserved. If you preserve a root site collection, all documents, pages, lists, and subsites in that site collection are preserved.

• To hold a site, create a Discovery Case in the eDiscovery Center. A case is a container for all of the queries, content, and preservations associated with specific litigation. After you create the case, create a Discovery Set to specify the site. To validate the site, just enter its URL address.

• In-Place Hold works by retaining content where it lives at the time the discovery search is completed. When content items are edited or deleted, eDiscovery places a copy of the item in a specific document library, called the Preservation Hold Library, on the SharePoint site where the content was modified. Only the search indexer and users with site collection administrator permission or web application permission can access the Preservation Hold Library. Most users without these permissions do not see the library and do not know it exists or that the content is copied there.

Upgrade and Migrate a SharePoint Environment


Evaluate Content and CustomizationsThis objective may include but is not limited to: • Perform migration pre-check tasks• Analyze content database test results• Configure web application

authentication for upgrade• Resolve orphan objects• Resolve missing file system

components• Resolve configuration conflict issues


Plan an Upgrade Process

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Plan removal of servers in rotation• Configure a parallel upgrade• Configure read-only access for

content• Configure upgrade farms• Measure upgrade performance• Plan an installation sequence


Upgrade Site Collection

This objective may include but is not limited to: • Perform a health check• Analyze and resolve health check results• Plan and configure available site collection

modes• Plan and configure site collection upgrade

availability• Plan and configure EVAL mode• Plan and configure site collection upgrade

throttling


Upgrade Evaluation Site Collection• Site collection administrators can request a

preview of their site collection, called an upgrade evaluation site collection. It enables site collection administrators to see their site’s content in a new, separate copy of the site that is running on the SharePoint 2013. Unlike visual upgrade in SharePoint Server 2010, the upgrade evaluation site collection is a complete copy of the site collection. It is separate from the original and has its own URL. Actions that the site collection administrators perform in the upgrade evaluation site collection do not affect the original site.

• Both the original site and the upgrade evaluation site are available for search

• Timer jobs that run for all site collections also run on the upgrade evaluation sites


Site Collection Upgrade ThrottlingTo make sure that site collection upgrades do not cause an outage on your farm, there are throttles built in at the web application, database, and content level. This means that even if 100 site collection administrators decide to upgrade their site collections at the same time, only some are run at the same time, and the rest are put into a queue to run later
