This is the 2nd installment in my blog post series on administering Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 which is based on some of what I learn from the video training course by Infinite Skills on the subject. A lot of the things in administering Sharepoint can be done in the GUI program itself but often can be done quicker and with more configuration options in powershell. You normally have to make sure you are doing it within the administrators account. A tip is if you are listing for example 10 items in powershell use the 1..10 command to avoid having to list them item by item. Managed paths if used with the implicit option let you specify 1 site that has that URL and is often used with things like Mysites. The other option is wildcards which let you specify 1 main site and several subsites all using that URL. HTTP throttling which is enabled by default and is set to kick in when there are 5,000 users although you can configure both items, lets the program favor certain types of item over others in the event of the server being busy. An example is favoring a form someone has spent a lot of time filling in over someone generally browsing. Whether you need the number of users increased or decreased depends largely on how many the internet or intranet connection can handle. There is an auditors and administrators setting which by default is set at 20,000 and you might want to reduce this but this is normally set higher than the other option because they are deemed to be doing more important work. Another option which has a big impact is how many items or rows of a database are shown in one go. The default for items is 30 items and this can be configured by clicking the list tab /new view / add items and you configure what is displayed. You can have up to 5 public zones of URL's within Sharepoint and of course each can have subsites. To set a new URL select web application /extend and then a dialogue box is shown that you fill in. I'll try and do at least 1 extra post in this series today.
