Introduction to Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0

Objectives
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
Describe the user interface changes in Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services 3.0.
Configure the document collaboration features in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
Configure wikis, blogs, and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds in Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0.

Scenario
You are the network administrator for Contoso, Ltd. The company has Windows SharePoint
Services version 2 deployed, but it is planning to deploy Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to
provide enhanced collaboration between users in the company. In preparation for the migration, you
need to understand how to configure and use many of the new features available in Windows
SharePoint Services 3.0.

Lab Components
This lab includes two components:
Exercises—The exercises include detailed step-by-step instructions and are required. The
exercises cover the core information needed to meet the lab objectives.
Additional Tasks—The additional tasks are listed at the end of each exercise. You can perform
these tasks to extend your learning about the product. The additional tasks do not provide step-by-
step instructions, but the procedures are similar to the steps that you performed in the exercises.
The additional tasks are optional, but it is recommended that you complete them to gain a fuller
understanding of the product.

Computers
This lab uses three virtual machines performing the following roles:
3369A-3373A-SEA-DC1
• Domain controller
• Microsoft Exchange Server computer
3369A-3373A-SEA-SRV1
• Member server
• Server running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
3369A-3373A-SEA-CL1
• 2007 Microsoft Office system client

Estimated time to complete this lab: 90 minutes

Virtual Lab Console
This lab makes use of the Microsoft Virtual Lab Program, an application that allows you to run
multiple virtual machines online. During the lab, you will switch between different windows, each
containing a separate virtual machine running Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 or Microsoft
Windows® XP.
Before you start the lab, familiarize yourself with the following basics of the Virtual Lab Console:
To switch the focus for your mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine, click inside the virtual
machine window.
To remove the focus from a virtual machine, move the mouse pointer outside the virtual machine
window.
To issue the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keyboard combination inside a virtual machine,
use RIGHT-ALT+DELETE instead. Virtual PC designates the RIGHT-ALT key as the Host key.
Select the machine you wish to perform tasks on by selecting it in “My Machines”

To Start the Lab
Before you can perform any of the lab exercises, you must log on to the computer. If an error
message warns you that the disk’s parent appears to have been modified, click OK to continue. This
error message appears when you move Virtual PC images between computers with different time-
zone settings.

Note These demonstrations have been developed using beta software. If a specific task results
in an error message or a time-out screen, try performing the task again. The task will most
likely be completed successfully at the second attempt.


Exercise 1: User Interface Changes in Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0
The user interface for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 has been significantly redesigned to make
it easier for users to navigate between SharePoint sites, subsites, and lists. The user interface has
also been redesigned to provide a security-trimmed interface so that users can view only the options
on a page that they have permission to access. This exercise shows an overview of user interface
changes in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Additional Tasks
If time permits, complete the following tasks to learn more about the user interface changes in
Windows SharePoint Server 3.0:

inheriting the navigation bar from the parent site.


Exercise 2: Document Collaboration
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides enhanced document management functionality. New
features include content approval, enforcement of content versioning, configuration of check-out
restrictions, and support for multiple content types. Another new feature is the two-level Recycle
Bin. This exercise shows some of the document management and collaboration features available in
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Additional Tasks
If time permits, complete the following tasks to learn more about the document collaboration
features in Windows SharePoint Server 3.0:
Change the settings for the Network Documentation library to not require users to check out
documents before editing them. On WPG-CL1, edit one of the documents in the document library
without checking out the document. While you have the document open on WPG-CL1, view the
document properties in the document library.
Access the version history page for the Server Configuration.doc file, and delete the 1.1 version of
the document.
On the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration page, disable the Recycle Bin option. Create a new
document in the Network Documentation document library, and then test the effect of deleting a
document.


Exercise 3: Wikis, Blogs, and RSS
Another way that Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides enhanced collaboration is with new
options for interacting with content on a SharePoint site. These options include wikis, blogs, and
Really Simple Syndication (RSS). This exercise shows how to create and use these new features.

Exercise 5: E-Mail Integration
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides new features for integrating e-mail with the SharePoint
sites, giving users additional options for monitoring and interacting with Windows SharePoint
Services content. In this exercise, you will see how e-mail functionality is built into Windows
SharePoint Services 3.0.

Note Because these labs are being performed on beta software, some steps may take longer
than expected. For example, in this lab, sending a message from Microsoft Office Outlook can
take 1 to 2 minutes.

Ensure that the meeting request is displayed in the calendar on the IT Admins site.


Exercise 6: Outlook Integration and Offline Support
Office Outlook 2007 is tightly integrated with Windows SharePoint Services in several ways. In
effect, Office Outlook 2007 has become a second client for accessing Windows SharePoint
Services data. In this exercise, you will see how Office Outlook integrates with Windows
SharePoint Services 3.0 and how it provides offline support.

Outlook Integration and Offline Support
