5. o You‟re the new SharePoint Administrator!!!
o But…
o You‟re still responsible for:
• Exchange
• Active Directory
• SQL
• Desktop
• Help Desk
• Network/Firewall
• Cooking & Cleaning
• Etc.

6. o SharePoint administration is often an „add-on‟ for other IT
professionals (SQL DBAs, AD Admins, Exchange Engineers)
o Time and focus are scarce resources!
o Common pain points include
• Upgrades are complex and hard to monitor
• Dispersed workforce, little control of browsers and Office versions
• Hard to understand and troubleshoot “behind the scenes”
performance and capacity planning
• Best practices not always understood or compared to system
health
• “All or nothing” administration means IT must be engaged for all
admin responsibilities, even search
