Chapter 4

Configuring Service Applications

Microsoft Exam Objective Covered in This Chapter:

• Maintaining a SharePoint Environment
  • Configure Service Applications

We live in a world driven by information, and that, in part, is why you are reading this book and pursuing a certification in information technology. Yet we also are in a world where that information is supposed to provide some sort of service—and so it is with the technology of SharePoint.

SharePoint is designed to provide specific services to its users, and in SharePoint Server 2010, you can select just those services your users, partners, and customers require. This chapter focuses on configuring resources that can be shared across sites within your server farm or even across multiple farms.
