Audiences

This is the fourth post in a six-part series on SharePoint 2007 administrative commands. The first part was an overview, the second covered Farm administration, the third covered web application administration, and this post is devoted to Shared Service Provider (SSP) administration.

As mentioned in the first post, this is a brief command reference organised by administrative scope. Continue reading “SharePoint 2007 administration part II: Farm administration”

In fact, I assembled it by going through each button click available. Continue reading “SharePoint 2007 administration part I: Overview”
