Topic 2. Photo Processing
Background
General Background
You are a SharePoint administrator for an online photo-processing company named Contoso, Ltd. Contoso’s primary customers are professional photographers.
The Contoso SharePoint 2013 environment includes the sites described in the following table.
The intranet site includes a document library for each employee in which the employee stores photos.
Technical Background
The SharePoint environment contains five front-end web servers that use Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) with NLB affinity set to None. The company
maintains all processed photos in the SharePoint content database. The content database uses RAID 5 storage. Photo files that are more than one year old are
rarely viewed. Employees actively use the default self-service site creation feature.
The network infrastructure contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The internal AD DS
domain is named contoso.com. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed in the LAN. Two AD FS proxy servers are deployed in the perimeter
network. Users log on to client computers by using the syntax username@contoso.com.
Contoso has a lab environment that includes a dedicated AD DS environment and SharePoint 2013. The main lab SharePoint site is located at
lab.intranet.contoso.com. A test site for a project named Project2 exists under lab.intranet.contoso.com/corp. The default self-service site creation feature is
enabled for the test site.
Contoso has a development team that maintains the public website, maintains the intranet site, and creates SharePoint apps. The development team recently
created a SharePoint-hosted app named App1 that converts .tif files to .png files.
Future Development
Contoso is forming a new corporation named Proseware, Inc. that will sell SharePoint apps. The company has acquired the proseware.com domain name.
Contoso is preparing to federate with Microsoft Office 365 and will use the proseware.com domain for Office 365 services.
Technical Requirements
You must meet the following technical requirements:
App1 must have access to each employee’s photo document library.
App1 must use Windows Authentication.
Each front-end web server must use a single IP address for all SharePoint sites and apps on that server.
All SharePoint sites and apps must listen on port 9000.
Office 365 must use single sign-on (SSO).
The company has established the following new monitoring requirements for the production SharePoint environment:
Monitor whether a large number of documents are checked out.
Monitor whether a large number of unpublished items are being requested.
The company has established the following new monitoring requirements for Project2:
Monitor changes to a value in a specific registry key.
Monitor the SharePoint cache hit ratios.
Perform monitoring only from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. daily.
Existing Problems
Multiple authentications often occur when users log on to and navigate in SharePoint. Users have reported some small delays accessing data.
The content database is currently stored on Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives and is growing at a rapid pace. The following related issues currently exist:
SharePoint is not performing as well as it was when the content database was smaller.
Storage costs to house the photo files are too expensive.
Scanned contracts are stored in binary large object (BLOB) cache storage. The BLOB cache is routinely filling up. End users are reporting poor performance when
viewing scanned contracts.

configure a SharePoint 2013 environment that will be used for information management and collaboration, both internally and with external partners. You must also
migrate the existing SharePoint environment to SharePoint 2013.
Blue Yonder works with several external partners, including those described in the following table.
Blue Yonder collaborates with Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys to design, manufacture, and sell airline-related toys to customers. The Blue Yonder board of directors
expects the collaborative design process to become more effective as a result of implementing SharePoint 2013.
Technical Background
All existing servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The network infrastructure contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment. The internal AD
DS domain is named blueyonderairlines.com. User-specific contact information is stored and managed in AD DS. All employees are located in the ActiveUsers
organizational unit (OU). Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed in the LAN. Two AD FS proxy servers are deployed in the perimeter network.
Users log on to client computers by using the syntax username@blueyonderairlines.com.
Blue Yonder provides access to the SharePoint environment to partners through individual URLs for each partner company. Each partner company has a dedicated
web application and site collection. The following table describes the access URLs.
In preparation for the upgrade you maximize the default upload limits for each web application.
Blue Yonder has an existing managed metadata service containing managed metadata and content types. The content types have workflows. You create a new
managed metadata service connection for the Wingtip Toys web application.
A workflow created by Blue Yonder moves information through the product lifecycle. Each access URL specifies a separate web application, site collection, and site.
Business Requirements
The SharePoint environment must meet the following business requirements:
Provide an environment where toy design, manufacturing, and sales information can be shared between Blue Yonder and partner companies.
Provide a training site for internal and external users.
Allow content authors of training materials to upload documents, large image files, and large video files for consumption by internal and external users.
Allow users to sort content by category.
Ensure that users from Wingtip Toys or Tailspin Toys can access content only in their own areas of the portal.
Prevent users from Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys from adding terms or creating enterprise keywords.
Content types and keywords must be shared between sites, site collections, and web applications.
Simplify search processes by collecting unique characteristics and information about each uploaded item.
Allow administrators to promote search query results across the entire environment.
Allow resource coordinators from Blue Yonder to find temporary staffing options from Margie’s Travel contractors and employees.
Provide opportunities for social interaction between employees, contractors, and external contacts to promote idea generation and socialization.
Utilize site feeds on all collaborative sites.
Replicate profile information in the https://blueyonderairlines.com site to partner sites.
Ensure that third-party vendors can read and modify documents.
For publishing sites, use only friendly URLs that do not contain anything other than the direct address. Avoid URL constructions such as /Lists/Posts/
Post.aspx?ID=568.
Site content must meet the following requirements:
Individual training videos must be in single files, and presented on the training site.
Changes to confidential documents must be logged.

The network infrastructure contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The internal AD DS
domain is named contoso.com. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed in the LAN. Two AD FS proxy servers are deployed in the perimeter
network. Users log on to client computers by using the syntax username@contoso.com.
Contoso has a lab environment that includes a dedicated AD DS environment and SharePoint 2013. The main lab SharePoint site is located at
lab.intranet.contoso.com. A test site for a project named Project2 exists under lab.intranet.contoso.com/corp. The default self-service site creation feature is
enabled for the test site.
Contoso has a development team that maintains the public website, maintains the intranet site, and creates SharePoint apps. The development team recently
created a SharePoint-hosted app named App1 that converts .tif files to .png files.
Future Development
Contoso is forming a new corporation named Proseware, Inc. that will sell SharePoint apps. The company has acquired the proseware.com domain name.
Contoso is preparing to federate with Microsoft Office 365 and will use the proseware.com domain for Office 365 services.
Technical Requirements
You must meet the following technical requirements:
App1 must have access to each employee’s photo document library.
App1 must use Windows Authentication.
Each front-end web server must use a single IP address for all SharePoint sites and apps on that server.
All SharePoint sites and apps must listen on port 9000.
Office 365 must use single sign-on (SSO).
The company has established the following new monitoring requirements for the production SharePoint environment:
Monitor whether a large number of documents are checked out.
Monitor whether a large number of unpublished items are being requested.
The company has established the following new monitoring requirements for Project2:
Monitor changes to a value in a specific registry key.
Monitor the SharePoint cache hit ratios.
Perform monitoring only from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. daily.
Existing Problems
Multiple authentications often occur when users log on to and navigate in SharePoint. Users have reported some small delays accessing data.
The content database is currently stored on Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives and is growing at a rapid pace. The following related issues currently exist:
SharePoint is not performing as well as it was when the content database was smaller.
Storage costs to house the photo files are too expensive.
Scanned contracts are stored in binary large object (BLOB) cache storage. The BLOB cache is routinely filling up. End users are reporting poor performance when
viewing scanned contracts.
