How SharePoint Team Services Works

• Platform and Distribution
• Web and Data architecture
• Security
• Administration

Platform

• Server
• Windows 2000, Windows XP Server, AS
• Windows Professional for demo/evaluation
• IIS
• MSDE, SQL 7, or SQL 2000
• Client
• Browser IE4, Nav4, limited support on
  non-Windows platforms
• Office 2000 client for publishing integration
• Best experience with IE5, Office XP client

List Data Architecture

• List Rendering
• List schema, views described in XML (CAML)
• Data stored in per-list SQL tables
• Browse-time rendering of list/view CAML SQL
  data into HTML views, forms
• Provisioning and Customization
• Database provisioned based on schema described in
  CAML templates
• CAML definitions and db schema updated
  dynamically for customizations

Web Architecture

• SharePoint sites are a FrontPage web
• Security
• Navigation
• Theme
• Management/analysis
• Lists, views get unique HTM pages
• Dynamic areas wrapped in FrontPage bot for
  editing
• Surrounding HTML content provides chrome
• Published content automatically promoted to
  database

19
Data Storage Configurations

• Web data always on NTFS filesystem
• List Data in SQL
• One database per virtual server
• MSDE
• Default out of box install
• No extra products to install
• Low scaling
• SQL 7 or SQL 2000
• Full scaling and toolset
• Located locally or remotely
• Can consolidate multiple web servers

Security Authentication

• Authentication based on NT accounts and groups
• All IIS authentication protocols
• Local or domain accounts
