- 16. Metric Determination Total # of Users • Ascertain maintenance costs for user-base • Storage Requirements = Avg # of files x Avg Size of files x Total # of Users Total # of Concurrent Users Help determine number of SharePoint WFEs Total # of PowerPivot Users Help determine number of SharePoint Application Servers (hosting Excel Services, AS Engine, PowerPivot System Service) # of Files; Avg/Max Size of Necessary to determine storage requirements to Files host SharePoint data (PowerPivot and non- PowerPivot). Data Refresh Options • Security and driver issues – users will have access to data sources that PowerPivot may not have • Frequency and # of files dictate how much resources used to process/open/store these files
- 17. SharePoint Farm • Excel workbooks (or any file) stored as blobs in content database WFE • Another option is to use Remote Blob Store to store in FILESTREAM or connected network storage (e.g. EMC Centera) • Preliminary results note low App Servers overhead (2-3%) and able to Content dBs better handle higher concurrency scenarios
- 20. Single Server Multiple Standalone Server SharePoint Farm Power Pivot Excel WFE Svcs SQL • Good for small setups • Evenly distributes load across • Not a good farm scenario many servers* • Should work fine in Kerberos • Easy to rebuild but doesn’t take or Claims scenarios into account heavier loads • Should work in Claims and Kerberos
- 21. SharePoint Farm Application Servers Power Pivot are PowerPivot Only WFE • Scenario is good if PowerPivot servers have Excel Svcs the most amount of load Power • Not as common because SQL Pivot most calculations in WFE PowerPivot are not overly complex Excel • May be helpful for Report Svcs Builder and Performance Power Pivot Point scenarios • Should work in Claims and Kerberos scenarios web app dB
- 22. SharePoint Farm Application Power Pivot Servers are Excel Svcs PowerPivot and WFE Excel Services • Scenario is good if Power Pivot SQL WFE servers have the Excel Svcs most amount of load • May be a good idea WFE due to high amount of Excel chatter between Excel Svcs Power Services and Pivot PowerPivot • Should work in Claims web app dB and Kerberos scenarios
- 23. SharePoint Farm Multi-Hop Excel • By definition, going from the Svcs client to Excel Services to PowerPivot server is multi-hop But WFE • Excel Services and PP Servic PowerPivot Services are e service applications • PowerPivot System Service recreates the identity token Client AS SQL Engin e Background With SharePoint 2010, we have Claims token as part of Geneva web app dB framework
- 24. SharePoint Farm Excel Svcs PP Servic e AS Data Engin Source WFE e 1 • PowerPivot System Service Login Client SQL • AS Engine Service Impersonates SSS credentials • Connects to Data Source 1 via impersonation web app dB
- 25. SharePoint Farm Excel Kerberos Svcs PP Servic Linked To e AS Data Data Engin Source Source WFE e 1 2 • Still need Kerberos in scenarios like above. Client SQL • Constrained Delegation by machine (less secure) or user account (more secure) • This is defined by settings on web app dB Data Source 2

- Introduce concept of Claims authentication here*Provided NLB in front of servers
- Another option is to have separate servers for all components but most likely not optimal use of resources
- FYI – the steps are: Change the service account passwords from the services.msc (SQL Server, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, etc.) The lab account pwd has changed so I was not able to connect to the SharePoint Central Admin. Therefore, followed steps 1 – 5 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934838 Now that I can connect to SharePoint Central Admin, needed to configure the Managed accounts 1. In the Central Admin – Security – Configure Managed Accounts2. Edit the account you want to change the password for.3. In section for Credential Management, select “Change password now” and select “Use Existing password” and type in the new password. All services are up and running but the application pools need to be reset within IIS o IIS Manager -> Application pools, right-click on the “SharePoint Web Services System” app pool -> advanced settings -> set account. Then start the pool. If you are on a newer build the app pool name is a guid. Ensure to change all of the app pools running under the changed account.
- Exponential difference for different bandwidth for WebDav upload
- Using Cobalt protocol (TBD), see how much slower it is by having so much slower bandwidth
- Comparison of FileCopy vs. WebDAV – for remote systems, perhaps want to filecopy it to a local box and then upload if speed is concern. Otherwise, use Office Sync Manager to do the upload async – though there can be issues with this (when the file was uploaded, etc.)
