TSLS – Luke Smith

Are you a hosting Company? Intrested in providing a SharePoint 2010 Platform to new and exsisting clients then I would strongly suggest reading the documentation avalible on Microsoft.com

This white paper provides the hosting community with an overview of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and the underlying Microsoft SharePoint Foundation components, and provides detailed architectural guidance to support the multi-tenancy requirements of hosters. Although this document can be used by anyone to gain an understanding of many key features in SharePoint 2010 Products, it focuses on how these new features affect and support the hosting community.

In light of the Microsoft WPC and the big push for Cloud computing, I thought it would be intresting in find out peoples reactions to Hosting SharePoint 2010 in the cloud rather than On-Premise  (and also to see how many people read my blog)

When investigating further using the MIISClient.exe tool located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell” on the operations TAB you also see the following error under (DS_FULLIMPORT) 

Resolution
————– 

Confirm that the service account used to run Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service (FIMSynchronizationService) has the AD Security right of “Replicating Directory Changes” at the domain level 

1. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in
2. On the View menu, click Advanced Features.
3. Right-click the domain object, such as “company.com”, and then click Properties.
4. On the Security tab, if the desired user account is not listed, click Add; if the desired user account is listed, proceed to step 7.
5. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, select the desired user account, and then click Add.
6. Click OK to return to the Properties dialog box.
7. Click the desired user account.
8. Click to select the Replicating Directory Changes check box from the list.
9. Click Apply, and then click OK.
10. Close the snap-in.

 NOTE: Group “Domain Admins” already has the above right however if you are still seeing this issue add the service account explicitly to the AD Security
