Best Practices

  • Spend some time determining who the solution is for and how it will be used, and defining some specific goals for the SharePoint 2003 implementation to help ensure the success of the project.

  • Implementing Windows SharePoint Services with WMSDE is a great way to quickly and inexpensively introduce the features and functionality of SharePoint workspaces and site collections. However, no searching will be available.

  • Windows SharePoint Services with SQL Server 2000 is a more expandable and manageable environment and offers full text search capabilities.

  • A best practice for Windows SharePoint Services is to look at the structure of the organization and determine what site collections are needed, and who will manage and maintain them.
