Course Description

This course is designed for IT professionals and administrators who want to gain a complete understanding of SharePoint 2013 administration, starting from core concepts and progressing to advanced configuration and management tasks. It provides a structured and practical approach to administering SharePoint environments in real-world enterprise scenarios.

The course begins by covering important SharePoint terminology, HTTP/HTTPS fundamentals, and the role of Active Directory, including creating users and groups. You will then move into the installation and configuration of SharePoint 2013, followed by creating web applications, site collections, and performing site customization.

A major focus of the course is authentication and security. You will learn about claims-based authentication, configuring Forms Based Authentication (FBA), working with zones, and understanding how authentication databases are configured and managed.

The course then dives deep into SharePoint service applications, including Enterprise Content Management (ECM). You will work with the term store, content types, document sets, document IDs, content organizer, and record management features. User-centric services such as User Profile Service, profile synchronization, My Sites, and audiences are also covered in detail.

You will also gain strong exposure to SharePoint Search, including search architecture, configuration, and administration. Administrative automation using Windows PowerShell and SharePoint PowerShell is included to help you manage SharePoint efficiently.

Finally, the course covers backup and restore strategies, including recycle bin recovery, farm-level backups, granular backups, and content database management. Practice tests are included to reinforce learning and validate your administrative knowledge.

Clear explanations of the SharePoint Document Set technology and step-by-step how-to implement them. Thank you!

I like the fact that the instructor is very detailed on what needs to be done and the reason why it has to be done!

By Manikanta Nethi on 10/9/2023

Very informative and thanks for that. Topics that seems to be edited/ added here are Search, Permissions, Cache server /Load balancer, Multiple server farm configuration.

He is a great teacher, I follow him for Azure, DevOps etc in youtube .. very knowledgeable teacher. He makes it super simple to follow .. which I think is a big boost for beginners.

I understand making a course is also a quite difficult task, but in this course seems like the instructor has just to deliver the content with no intention of making it interactive, precise or up to date from time to time. So far I have gone through first 4 sections and it seems very boring, whatever is written on the document is being read. Even while showing the settings instructor is searching for options makes a dull presentation. Its like no effort needs to be put just deliver as it is. Needs lots of improvement for better understanding.

Thanks to Sandeep Soni sir for giving insight of all major features . Eamples given are helpful. Only Search chapter was taken by another trainer I guess and unfortunately not much helpful. Thanks a ton to Sandeep Sir!

By Pramod on 12/19/2019

All was good except for Search section. Audio was so low that i was finding it very hard to understand what the trainer was talking, also i find it very short.

IF YOU SLOW DOWN AND SHOW THE STEPS IT WILL HELP MUCH BETTER.

By Bouyea Amen-El on 9/16/2019

The instructor used multiple ways to teach the information via visual and hearing demonstrations. All his information was easy to follow and understandable.

By Benjamin Weeks on 10/20/2018

Perfect course for learning SharePoint of any version. Love the way the instructor starts from the fundamentals of IIS and moves progressively through every aspect of SharePoint. Good job!
