Upgrade/migrate to
the cloud
Upgrade to next
version – sequential
(recommended)
Leapfrog to the
latest version

the end user upgrade story

16
the upgrade story
Upgrade Method SharePoint 2007 SharePoint 2010 SharePoint 2013
Database Attach   
In-place Upgrade  
Side by Side
Upgrade

 Microsoft recommends migrating to Claims Authentication
prior to upgrade
 Remember to enable your Claims to Windows Token Service
 SharePoint 2010 sites can be migrated into SharePoint 2013
and maintain the current UI and functionality

17
Upgrade considerations
 Do you have a strategy of what new
functionality you want to use?
 Are you willing to take the time to
assist end users in consolidating sites
and site collections?
 How many customizations do you
have?
 Are you deploying Office 2013?
 What about SharePoint Online or
Office 365?

18
migrate from classic to claims
Log into your SharePoint Server with an account
with Farm Admin privileges
Open up SharePoint Management Console
$WebAppName = "http://<yourWebAppUrl>“
$wa = get-SPWebApplication $WebAppName
$wa.UseClaimsAuthentication = $true
$wa.Update()
$account = (New-SPClaimsPrincipal –identity "yourDomainyourUser" -
identitytype 1).ToEncodedString()
$wa = get-SPWebApplication $WebAppName
$zp = $wa.ZonePolicies("Default")
$p = $zp.Add($account,"PSPolicy")
$fc=$wa.PolicyRoles.GetSpecialRole("FullControl")
$p.PolicyRoleBindings.Add($fc)
$wa.Update()
$wa.MigrateUsers($true)
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()

23
shredded storage
 SharePoint 2010 – File Synchronization via SOAP of HTTP
API (FSSHTTP or ‘Cobalt’)
 Allows for documents to be sent back and forth between WFE
and end user before commit to SQL Server
 SharePoint 2013 – Shredded Storage – sends only the
deltas to BLOBs within SQL rather than entire document
 What we know…
 On by default (can be disabled per web app) (sort of…)
 BLOBs not shredded at upgrade
 Shreds more than just Office documents
 Independent of Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)

24
distributed cache
 Windows Server AppFabric Distributed Caching
 Azure AppFabric != On-premises AppFabric
 Are there architectural impacts?
 Exists on every server in your farm (AppFabric Caching Service) in
the beginning…
 NT Service is run by the Farm account
 Sizing? RAM requirements? Plan! Plan!
 Similar to FIM, what it ships with is what you get!

25
distributed cache
 What does it power…
 Newsfeeds
 Authentication
 OneNote client access
 Security Trimming
 Page load performance
 Not database dependent
 What it doesn’t power…
 BLOB Caching
 Page Output Caching

26
request management
 Gives you (and SharePoint) more control over inbound
requests and routing
 Route requests based on user agent, requested URL, or
source IP address
 Managed per web application
 Route based on server health
 Identify malicious requests and drop them
 Provides resource management with throttling
 Route based on weight (e.g. heavy requests to beefier servers)

27
web content management improvements
 Support the tools and workflows designers use
 Adobe DreamWeaver, Microsoft Expressions, HotDog
Professional
 Variations & Content Translation
 Language Packs Required
 Search Engine Optimization
 FAST
 MCMS Cross Site Publishing
 Metadata navigation

28
browser compatibility and WCM improvements
 WCM features in 2013 provide deep level of control over
markup and styling
 Designers can target browser compatibility
 IE6 or standards based (IE 8+, Firefox 5.x, etc.)
 Design Manager
 Requires Publishing
Infrastructure

29
analytics
 New Analytics Platform replaces Web Analytics Service
Application
 What’s new?
 Data storage and IO is improved
 Find more relevant information (click-thrus, number of views,
etc.)
 Understand content usage (e.g. document comparisons)
 See discussion thread usage
 Populate views in the CBS (Content By Search) web part
 3rd parties can extend the platform

30
browser support
Browser Supported Not Supported
Internet Explorer 11 *
Internet Explorer 10 *
Internet Explorer 9 
Google Chrome 
Mozilla Firefox 
Apple Safari 

31
SharePoint Designer
 Workflow Foundation v4 based
 SharePoint 2010 based workflows still supported
 Visio canvas within SPD for workflows
 Requires Visio be installed on workstation
 Designer provides ability to create stages and loops
 No Page Design View for UI Development
 SharePoint Designer Settings through Central Administration

32
SharePoint Designer 2013

33
workflow
 SharePoint 2010 workflow is still available
 SharePoint 2013 workflow is a separate server component that requires
Workflow Manager and Service Bus and Workflow Client
 Can be a part of your farm or separate
 Supports HTTP and HTTPS communication
 The System/Setup account cannot be used to create a 2013 workflow
 You need to deploy a User Profile Service Application so users can
deploy and run workflows
 High availability is tricky with a 3 server minimum requirement
 Ports & protocols are important
 HTTP / HTTPS Workflow Queuing (12290/12291) and SQL (Browser)
 Workflow Manager Service Bus (9354-9356, 9000* [5 random ports])

34
let’s get social…
 Micro-blogging
 Activity Feeds
 Communities
 Discussions
 Blogs
 Community Site Template
 Community Portal

What’s this OneDrive for Business thing?
 It’s not OneDrive through Live
Services!
 Office 365 provides for 25 GB
per user document library

that other document libraries

other document library

39
OneDrive for Business
 Is not a replacement for SharePoint 2010 Workspace
 OneDrive for Business does not synchronize lists…
 Who needs meta-data?

40
Application Development
 Apps! Apps! Apps!
 Use SharePoint components
 Surface remote data
 Offload business logic
