Course Outline
Module 1: Introducing SharePoint Server 2013
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is a document storage and collaboration
platform that offers many benefits to organizations. SharePoint deployments may
take many different forms in scope, where a deployment may be focused on only
delivering one feature, such as enterprise search, or many features, such as
document management, business intelligence, web content management, and
workflows. Deployments can also differ greatly in size, with small deployments
of a single server up to large deployments with farms of 15 or more servers.
In this module, you will learn about the core features of SharePoint 2013, the
new features in this version, and what has been removed. You will also learn
about the basic structural elements of a farm deployment and how they fit
together. Finally you will learn about the different deployment options
available to SharePoint 2013.
Lessons

Module 2: Designing an Information Architecture
Information architecture (IA) defines the structures by which an
organization catalogs information. Designing an IA requires a detailed
understanding of the information held in an organization and its usage, context,
volatility, and governance. A good IA rationalizes the creation and storage of
content and streamlines its surfacing and use.
IA design should be platform-neutral, but it must also be driven by the
functionality of its environment. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 provides a
rich and functional platform for the development and implementation of efficient
and effective IA structures. The integral use of metadata throughout SharePoint
2013 means that an IA designer has a range of storage, navigation, and retrieval
options to maximize usability in a well-structured IA.
In this module, you will learn about the core elements of IA design and the
facilities and devices available in SharePoint 2013 to deploy an effective
information management solution.

Module 4: Designing a Physical Architecture
When you design a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 deployment, you must
carefully consider the hardware and farm topology requirements. Your choices of
server hardware and the number of servers that you specify for the farm can have
a significant impact on how the farm meets user requirements, how users perceive
the SharePoint solution, and how long before the farm requires additional
hardware.
This module describes the factors that you should consider when you design the
physical architecture of a SharePoint 2013 deployment. The physical architecture
refers to the server design, farm topology, and supporting elements—such as
network infrastructure—for your deployment. This physical architecture underpins
the operations of your SharePoint 2013 environment, so it is essential that your
physical design fully meets the operational requirements.

Module 7: Planning and Configuring Service Applications
Service applications were introduced in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010,
replacing the Shared Service Provider architecture of Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server 2007. Service applications provide a flexible design for
delivering services, such as Managed Metadata or PerformancePoint, to users who
need them. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 includes more than 20 services, some
of which are new to this version, whereas others are enhanced. In planning and
configuring service applications, it is important that you understand the
dependencies, resource usage, and business requirements for each.
This module reviews the basic service application architecture, the essentials
of planning your service application deployment, and the configuration of your
service applications. This module does not discuss sharing, or federation, of
service applications. This is covered in more detail in course 20332B: Advanced
Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.

Many organizations need to store sensitive or confidential information.
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 includes a complete set of security features,
which you can use to help ensure that users with the appropriate rights and
permissions can access the information they need, can modify the data they are
responsible for, but that they cannot view or modify confidential information,
or information that is not intended for them. The SharePoint 2013 security model
is highly flexible and adaptable to your organization’s needs.
In this module, you will learn about the various authorization and security

Module 9: Configuring Authentication for SharePoint 2013
Authentication is the process by which you establish the identity of users
and computers. Authorization controls access to resources by assigning
permissions to users and computers. To provide authorization to consumers of
Microsoft SharePoint content and services, whether they are end users, server
platforms, or SharePoint apps, you first need to verify that they are who they
claim to be. Together, authentication and authorization play a central role in
the security of a SharePoint 2013 deployment by ensuring that consumers can only
access resources to which you have explicitly granted them access.
In this module, you will learn about the authentication infrastructure in
SharePoint 2013. You will learn how to configure SharePoint to work with a
variety of authentication providers, and you will learn how to configure
authenticated connections between SharePoint and other server platforms.

Module 10: Securing a SharePoint 2013 Deployment
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not just a group of websites―it is also
a site-provisioning engine for intranets, extranets, and Internet sites, a
collection of databases, an application platform, and a platform for
collaboration and social features, as well as being many other things. In
addition to it touching your network, it also touches your line-of-business
(LOB) applications and Microsoft Active Directory; therefore, it has a large
attack surface to consider and protect. SharePoint 2013 is supplied with several
security features and tools out-of-the-box to help you secure it.
In this module, you will learn how to secure and harden your SharePoint 2013
farm deployment and how to configure several security settings at the farm

Module 11: Managing Taxonomy
In order to organize information and make that information easier to find
and work with, you can label or categorize information. With files and items in
Microsoft SharePoint, you can apply metadata, which could be a category, a
classification, or a tag, in order to organize your content and make it easier
to work with.
In most organizations, the most effective way to implement metadata is through a
defined taxonomy that you have standardized through stakeholder input. This
enables users to select metadata terms from a predefined list, which provides
standard results.
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 can further enhance the application of metadata
by using content types. Organizations can use content types to standardize
specific types of files, documents, or list items and include metadata
requirements, document templates, retention settings, and workflow directly.

Module 12: Configuring User Profiles
Social computing environments enable organizations to quickly identify
colleagues, team members, and others with similar roles or requirements in an
organization. Social features in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 enable users
to quickly gain updates and insight into how other members of the organization
are working and what information or processes people are developing, along with
the progress being achieved.
The SharePoint 2013 social platform is based around the capabilities provided by
the user profile service application, supported by other services, such as the
Managed Metadata Service and the Search service. The User Profile Service
provides configuration and control over importing profile data, creating My
Sites, managing audiences, and users can utilize these features.

Module 13: Configuring Enterprise Search
Search has been a cornerstone of Microsoft SharePoint Products and
Technologies since SharePoint Portal Server 2003. Since those early days, the
architecture of the search service has evolved through the Shared Service
Provider architecture to the service application architecture of SharePoint
Server 2010. It has also grown with the addition of FAST technologies.
SharePoint Server 2013 continues this growth by re-architecting the service and
integrating many of the components that were intrinsic to FAST Search to deliver
a more robust and richer experience for IT staff and users.
In this module, you will learn about the new architecture of the Search service,
