Summary

In this chapter, we took an in-depth look at configuring the User Profile Service in SharePoint 2010—one of the most troublesome areas to configure. You read about user profiles, along with their properties and user sub-types, and we looked at organization profiles in brief. Another key concept is audiences—administrators can generate groups of people based in inclusion rules and then apply those audiences to targeted content areas. At the end of this chapter, we had a quick look at people search and the configuration in the overarching SharePoint Enterprise Search Service Application.

In Chapter 5, we will visit social networking, My Sites, and the Managed Metadata Service Application for taxonomy and folksonomy tagging.
