Office 365 and SharePoint Online – Do’s, Don’ts and Won’ts James Tramel

description

A closer look at office 365 and specifically SharePoint online, one of four components of 365. From DNS to Security groups, branding to Metadata, Public to Private, BCS to UPS, admin console to user solutions, search to service apps, site collection management to user Management, quotas to storage – we’ll try to get through some of the nuances from what you might otherwise take for granted. Some things are the same, and some things are quite different from SharePoint 2010, primarily what you expect to be able to do, just might not be there. After migrating an ASP site and BPOS site to 365, he’s learned a lot of what’s in this talk the hard way.

Manage Site Collections

Page 28: Office 365 and SharePoint

Site Collections: Do’s Don’ts and Won’ts #5 Private

2 managed paths /Teams/ /Sites/

Public Unique Content Editor OOB (Demo) 1 public site

SharePoint Online lets users allocate their available storage space across up to 300 site collections.

Page 29: Office 365 and SharePoint

My Sites The My Content part of a My Site is not provisioned until

the user clicks on My Content from their My Profile page. My Sites (personal site collections) do not count against

the overall number of team site oriented site collections. My Sites do not pull from the pool of storage Each My Site, once provisioned, is allocated 500

megabytes (MB) of personal storage.

Page 30: Office 365 and SharePoint

Storage and Quotas Storage

SharePoint Online allocates an initial 10 GB of storage plus 500 MB for each user. This storage is pooled and available for allocation across multiple site collections. For example, an organization of 1,000 users by default would have a base of 510,000 MB (510 GB) of storage.

If desired, you can purchase more storage in GB increments charged monthly.

Site Storage Quotas The minimum storage allocated to a new site collection is 24

megabytes (MB). The maximum storage available for any site collection is up to

100 gigabytes (GB). The maximum SharePoint Online storage available to a single

company’s tenancy is up to 5 terabytes (TB).

Service Applications and Services BCS within SharePoint Online does not support a direct

connection to SQL Azure. A WCF endpoint is required. Access reporting is not supported by SharePoint Online

Access Services because SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not currently enabled for SharePoint Online. Access reporting requires SSRS.

SharePoint Online does not support auditing capabilities to log the opening and downloading of files in a document library.

SharePoint Online does not support PerformancePoint Services.

Page 32: Office 365 and SharePoint

Search SharePoint Online includes a PDF iFilter. Users must download PDFs and other types of files. The

user will see a “Save As…” window and must download the PDF file to their local directory.

SharePoint Online does support Enterprise Search, but does not currently support FAST Search.

Page 33: Office 365 and SharePoint

Design The public website does not grant use rights to leverage

the SharePoint publishing portal components. These features are only supported for intranet sites within the private site collections.

Editing the Public Website with SharePoint Designer is not supported.

SharePoint Online only supports SharePoint Designer 2010.

Backup and restore is no longer a feature offered in SharePoint Designer 2010.

Page 34: Office 365 and SharePoint

Customization No farm solutions. The SharePoint Online development

patterns and practices are currently targeted at site collection level solutions.

Sandbox/User Solutions The amount of processing power available to Sandboxed

Solutions is determined by the number of licensed user seats in a company's tenancy. To calculate server resource quota in Office 365, you can use the following equation: (#seats×200) + 300.
