In this Screencast, we will present an overview of SBS SharePoint Services. You will see that WSS has two types of web sites:
– SharePoint CA (Central Administration) web site that is used for advanced configuration and management.
– User web site, that contains the actual information shared between users.
Just in case you haven’t added a trusted/commercial SSL certificate, we will show you how to install the SBS 2008 Certificate Distribution Package on a remote Windows client and mobile device. As SharePoint sites have a mobile version, generated automatically, we will demonstrate how to access it from a mobile device too.
Microsoft has released a free package of 40 ready-to-use SharePoint templates which cover a wide range of business scenarios. They are known as the “Fab40” or the Fabulous Forty, and you can download them from here. You might find the installation of these templates a daunting task (especially if you install them one by one). For your convenience, we have created a script – fab40.bat. As you will see in our Screencast, the installation of Fab40 with this script is easy and fast.
Finally, we demonstrate in our Step-by-Step approach, how to create new sites, using both Server Admin Templates and Site Admin Templates, and how to modify them according to your needs.
