Topic 3, Blue Yonder Airlines
Background
General Background
You are the SharePoint administrator for Blue Yonder Airlines. The company currently has a SharePoint
2010 environment. It is your responsibility to install and 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 airlinerelated 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

 Provide an environment where toy design, manufacturing, and sales
information can be shared between Blue Yonder and partner companies.
