Case Study: 3
Blue Yonder Airlines
Background
General Background
You are the SharePoint administrator for Blue Yonder Airlines. The company currently has a
SharePoint 2010 environment. It is your responsibility to install and configure a SharePoint 2013
environment that will be used for information management and collaboration, both internally and
with external partners. You must also migrate the existing SharePoint environment to SharePoint
2013.
Blue Yonder works with several external partners, including those described in the following table.
Blue Yonder collaborates with Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys to design, manufacture, and sell
airline-related toys to customers. The Blue Yonder board of directors expects the collaborative
design process to become more effective as a result of implementing SharePoint 2013.
Technical Background
All existing servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The network infrastructure contains an Active
Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment. The internal AD DS domain is named
blueyonderairlines.com. User-specific contact information is stored and managed in AD DS. All
employees are located in the ActiveUsers organizational unit (OU). Active Directory Federation
Services (AD FS) is deployed in the LAN. Two AD FS proxy servers are deployed in the perimeter
network. Users log on to client computers by using the syntax [email protected].
Blue Yonder provides access to the SharePoint environment to partners through individual URLs for
each partner company. Each partner company has a dedicated web application and site collection.
The following table describes the access URLs.
In preparation for the upgrade you maximize the default upload limits for each web application.
Blue Yonder has an existing managed metadata service containing managed metadata and content
types. The content types have workflows. You create a new managed metadata service connection
for the Wingtip Toys web application.
A workflow created by Blue Yonder moves information through the product lifecycle. Each access
URL specifies a separate web application, site collection, and site.
Business Requirements
The SharePoint environment must meet the following business requirements:
• Provide an environment where toy design, manufacturing, and sales
information can be shared between Blue Yonder and partner companies.
• Provide a training site for internal and external users.
• Allow content authors of training materials to upload documents,
large image files, and large video files for consumption by internal and
external users.
• Allow users to sort content by category.
• Ensure that users from Wingtip Toys or Tailspin Toys can access
content only in their own areas of the portal.
• Prevent users from Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys from adding
terms or creating enterprise keywords.
• Content types and keywords must be shared between sites, site
collections, and web applications.
• Simplify search processes by collecting unique characteristics and
information about each uploaded item.
• Allow administrators to promote search query results across the
entire environment.
• Allow resource coordinators from Blue Yonder to find temporary
staffing options from Margie’s Travel contractors and employees.
• Provide opportunities for social interaction between employees,
contractors, and external contacts to promote idea generation and
socialization.
• Utilize site feeds on all collaborative sites.
• Replicate profile information in the https://blueyonderairlines.com
site to partner sites.
• Ensure that third-party vendors can read and modify documents.
• For publishing sites, use only friendly URLs that do not contain
anything other than the direct address. Avoid URL constructions such as
/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID = 568.
Site content must meet the following requirements:
Individual training videos must be in single files, and presented on the training site.
Changes to confidential documents must be logged.
Technical Requirements
You must meet the following technical requirements:
• Store all large files outside of the SharePoint content database or
databases.
• All servers must run on virtual machines.
• Ensure that search queries are handled by web servers.
• Ensure that all lists support multiple content types.

You need to specify hardware and software requirements for web servers used by the SharePoint
environment.
Which two minimum requirements should you specify? (Each correct answer presents part of the
solution Choose two.)
A.
Virtual machine running Windows Server 2012
B.
4-core virtual machine
C.
6-core virtual machine
D.
Physical host running Windows Server 2008 R2
E.
Physical host running Windows Server 2012
F.
Virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 R2
Explanation:
Note:
* From Scenario: All servers must run on virtual machines.
Minimum operating system requirement for SharePoint 2013 (web server) is Windows Server 2008
R2 with Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2012.
Correct, this meets minimum requirements.
Ted, you sure this is right? “Virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 R2” does not have SP1 installed. Therefore, the only one that fits the minimum requirement is “Virtual machine running Windows Server 2012”
