Best practices for permission settings in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a good "best practices" paper\article for SharePoint permissions in SharePoint 2010. I have a pretty good idea of what i would like to do. The problem is that there is another group that handles security for the SharePoint
sites. It's really bad. Individuals have permissions and some of the group memberships really don't make much sense.
I am tasked with cleaning up our permission settings in our farm but I would like something to give to that team. I want it to show what it is we need to do and why. What the best practices are. It's also going to be good for me as I will use it
to compare with what I would like to see done.
Can anyone recommend a link that covers this in detail.
Thanks

  • Best Practice for trimming content in Sharepoint Hosted Apps?

    Hey there,
    I'm developing a Sharepoint 2013 App that is set to be Sharepoint Hosted.  I have a section within the app that I'd like to be Configuration-related, so I would like to only allow certain users or roles to be able to access this content or even see
    that it exists (i.e. an Admin button, if you will).  What is the best practice for accomplishing this in Sharepoint 2013 Apps?  Thusfar, I've been doing everything using jQuery and the REST api and I'm hoping there's a standard within this that I
    should be using.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can weigh in here.
    Mike

    Hi,
    According to
    this documentation, “You must configure a new name in Domain Name Services (DNS) to host the apps. To help improve security, the domain name should not be a subdomain
    of the domain that hosts the SharePoint sites. For example, if the SharePoint sites are at Contoso.com, consider ContosoApps.com instead of App.Contoso.com as the domain name”.
    More information:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161237(v=office.15)
    For production hosting scenarios, you would still have to create a DNS routing strategy within your intranet and optionally configure your firewall.
    The link below will show how to create and configure a production environment for apps for SharePoint:

  • Best practices for using AUTOARCHIVING in Exchange 2010

    Hi guys!
    Exchange 2010 SP3 environment. We have 150 users. We bought two 2TB in RAID1 disk and they Will be used for Autoarchive DB's. We have currently about 10 Production DB's named by department. We have created 10 Archive DB's named by department and added Word
    ARCHIVE at the end of the databasename.
    We have 150 users. Some of them (let's say 50) are having 20 - 30 GB of PST files, all the others have about 4-5GB PST files.
    What would be the best practise for putting quota restrictions? As I can see by the default a user is limited with 50GB per archive mailbox. In this scenario where 50 users have more then 20GB+ PST files long, and all the other less then 4GB what would
    be the best practise for setting up quota limitation on newly created 10 ARCHIVE db's to achieve optimal solution?
    with best regards,
    bostjanc

    Hi,
    As far as I know,  by default, in Exchange 2010 SP1, the archive warning quota is set to 45 gigabytes (GB) and the archive quota is set to 50 GB. And we can depend on the following command to set the quotas for all mailboxes in one database:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.ArchiveDatabase -ne $null} | Set-Mailbox -Archive Quota 20GB -ArchiveWarningQuota 19GB
    Please note that this is not at database level but mailbox level.
    For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

  • What are the best practices for audit report for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

    Hello,
    I am looking for the best practices for audit reporting in SharePoint 2013 farm.Can anyone please provide me checklist/tools/guidelines on same ?
    your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,

    This is quite open ended question. A sharepoint farm should be well maintained as per :
    1. Microsoft's recommendations on : Topology, Hardware and Software requirements, Operational procedures and most important Capacity guidelines:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758645(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx
    2. Organisation's IT policies and procedures : Farm Configuration, Workload and monitoring
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758658(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748651(v=office.15).aspx
    3. Industry best practices
    I would suggest to start thinking over these lines and create a plan for your Sharepoint farm.
    You can then create powershell scripts to run these reports at certain frequency to find the changes, any deviation from the standard and health of the entire farm.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Noticing a lot of database index fragmentation yet no Health Analyzer alerts...? Best practice for database maintenance in 2013?

    Could someone point me to a document for best practices for database maintenance with SharePoint 2013? I have read the 2010 document, but I'm hoping their is an updated one that I'm just missing.
    My problem is that our DBA recently noticed that many of our SharePoint databases have high index fragmentation.  I have the Health Analyzer rules enabled for index fragmentation and they run daily, but I've never received an alert despite the majority
    of our databases having greater than 40% fragmentation and some are even above 95%.  
    Obviously it has our attention now and we want to get this addressed.  My understanding (which I now fear is at best incomplete, more likely just plain wrong) was that a maintenance plan wasn't needed for index fragmentation in 2010/2013 like it was
    in 2007. 
    Thanks,
    Troy

    It depends. Here are the rules for that job:
    Sampled mode
    Page count >24 and avg fragmentation in percent >5
    Or
    Page count >8 avg page space used in percent < fill_factor * 0.9 (Fill Factor in SharePoint 2013 varies from 80 to 100 depending on the index, it is important not to adjust index fill factors)
    I have seen cases where the indexes are not automatically managed by the rule and require a manual defragmentation with a Full Scan, instead of Sampled. Once the Full Scan defrag completed, the timer job started handling the index fragmentation automatically.

  • Best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear all,
    May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
    Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
    Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Best Practice for Tranport request Naming

    Hi,
    We are using SolMan 4.0 during implementation of ECC 6.0.
    We have placed the blueprint and we are in configuration phase.
    We have a IMG project created in the DEV system and was assinged in Solution Manager project under  System Landscape->IMG Projects.
    Now that consultants are going to dev system and customizing they are creating their transport requests.
    Is there any best practice for the naming convention or the transport requests..
    By creating one IMG project for entire implementation is that going to create any problem..!!
    Please sgugest.
    Thanks & Regards

    As per MSFT best practices(Mentioned by Scott) keep it short as much as possible. You can use SP for SharePoint-SUBSite
    also check this blog for best practices.
    http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/simple-naming-conventions-improve-end-user-experience-sharepoint-sites
    also one more thing you should consider, never use the reserved words into the SharePoint URLs. you will able to create the site/lis/library/folder but when you browse get the 404 errors.
    check this blog:

  • BEST PRACTICE FOR AN EFFICIENT SEARCH FACILITY

    Good Morning,
    Whilst in Training, our Trainer said that the most efficiency from the Sharpoint Search would be to install the Search Facility on a separate server (hardware).
    Not sure how to have this process done.
    Your advice and recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks a mil.

    Hi,
    You can
    create a dedicated search server that hosts all search components, query and index role, and crawl all on one physical server.

  • Best practices for search service in a sharepont farm

    Hi
    in a sharepoint web application there is many BI dashboards are deployed and also we have plan to
    configure enterprise search  for this application.
    in our sharepoint 2010 farm we have
    2  application server s
    2 WFE servers
    here one application server is running
    c.a + webanalytics service and itself is a domain controller
    second application server is for only running secure store service+ Performance point service only
    1 - here if we  run search server service in second application server can any issues to BI performance and
    2 - its best practice to run Performance point service and search service in one server
    3 -also is it  best practice to run search service in a such a application server where already other services running
    and where we have only one share point web application need to be crawled and indexed with  below crawl schedule.
    here we only run full crawl per week and incremental crawl at midnight daily
    adil

    Hi adil,                      
    Based on your description, you want to know the best practices for search service in a SharePoint farm.
    Different farms have different search topologies, for the best search performance, I recommend that you follow the guidance for small, medium, and large farms.
    The article is about the guidance for different farms. 
    Search service can run with other services in the same server, if condition permits and you want to have better performance for search service and other services including BI performance, you can deploy search service in dedicated server.
    If condition permits, I recommend combining a query component with a front-end Web server to avoid putting crawl components and query components on the same serve.
    In your SharePoint farm, you can deploy the query components in a WFE server and the crawl components in an application server.
    The articles below describe the best practices for enterprise search.

  • Best Practices for Staging

    Hey Guys!
    We are currently evaluating Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with one of our new projects.
    As we are moving from development phase to QA, we are looking for ways to standardize the staging process. Up to now we were unable to figure out how or where OEPE creates the artifacts (war & ear files) before they are deployed to the remote target environment (Weblogic Server) for tests during development. We had assumed that OEPE uses a simple ANT file or something similar we could use for our staging environments.
    Is there a Best Practice for Staging? What does Oracle recommend?
    Thanks in advance - Alex

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know the best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal in different SharePoint environment.
    If the site is not existing in the production server, we can save the site from the development server, and then import it to the production server.
    But if the site is already existing in the production server, we should follow these steps to just add the taxonomy and content types to the production server:
    Save the site from Dev as a template
    Import the template as solution in Visual Studio
    Remove unnecessary items from the solution(Please pay more      attention on it. If a content type/list... in the solution is existing in      the production site too, it will replace the
    same object existing in the      production after deployment)
    Package the solution
    Deploy the solution in the production
    For more detailed, please see:

  • DNS best practices for hub and spoke AD Architecture?

    I have an Active Directory Forest with a forest root such as joe.co and the root domain of the same name, and root DNS servers (Domain Controllers) dns1.joe.co and dns2.joe.co
    I have child domains with names in the form region1.joe.com, region2.joe.co and so on, with dns servers dns1.region1.joe.co and so on.
    Each region has distribute offices that may have a DC in them, servers named in the form dns1branch1.region1.joe.co
    Over all my DNS tests out okay, but I want to get the general guidelines for setting up new DCs correct.
    Configuration:
    Root DC/DNS server dns1.joe.co adapter settings points DNS to itself, then two other root domain DNS/DCs dns2.joe.co and dns3.joe.co.
    The other root domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to root server dns1.joe.co and then to itself dns2.joe.co, and then 127.0.0.1
    The regional domains have a root dns server dns1.region1.joe.co with adapter that that points to root server dns1.joe.co then to itself.
    The additional region domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to dns1.region1.joe.co then to itself then to dn1.joe.co
    What would you do to correct this topology (and settings) or improve it?
    Thanks in advance
    just david

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need suggestion about your DNS topology.
    In theory, there is no obvious problem. Except for the namespace and server plaining for DNS, zone is also needed to consideration. If you place DNS server on each domain and subdomain, confirm that if the traffic browsed by DNS will affect the network performance.
    Besides, fault tolerance and security are also necessary.
    We usually recommend that:
    DC with DNS should point to another DNS server as primary and itself as secondary or tertiary. It should not point to self as primary due to various DNS islanding and performance issues that can occur. And when referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client
    should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address. detailed information you may reference:
    What is Microsoft's best practice for where and how many DNS servers exist? What about for configuring DNS client settings on DC’s and members?

  • Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

    Greetings:
    I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs.  If there is a specific article please point me to it.
    Here is my situation: 
    We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer.  I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret.  As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video.  I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
    So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads).  Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
    My questions:
    With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids?  Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing? 
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Bonesaw1962,
    We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
    If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
    I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
    Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

  • (Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

    Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server.   (This
    will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
    Specifically, your best practices regarding:
    the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,  
    the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
    RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),  
    IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,  
    disk caching settings on both host and guests.  
    Thanks so much for any information you can share.

    A bit of non essential additional info:
    We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
    over to the new infrastructure .   We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
    During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
    information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
    Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
    seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
    We have read these and others:
    Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100), 
    Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
    Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
    Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
    Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.
    Chas.

    Hi,
    I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
    Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
    The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
    It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
    http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)
