Topic 3, Baldwin Museum of Science
Background
Baldwin Museum of Science has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named
BaldwinMuseumOfScience.com.
The domain has a SharePoint environment that contains two farms named ContentFarm and
SearchFarm.
ContentFarm includes content and collaboration tools. A custom app named Time Entry is deployed to
the App Store on ContentFarm. ContentFarm includes a site collection named HR.
You are planning for a major content and configuration update to the term store in the managed
metadata service application that is located on ContentFarm.
SearchFarm is reserved for crawling content and responding to search queries.
ContentFarm Topology
The topology of ContentFarm is shown in the following table.
ContentFarm has the following characteristics:
Primary content for the farm is available at the URL
SharePoint.BaldwinMuseumOfScience.com.
Requests for content from the farm are load-balanced between SPCWEB01 and SPC-WEB02. The servers that run Microsoft SQL Server are members of an
active/passive cluster that run a failover cluster named SP-SQL01.
MySites sites for each user are hosted on a separate web application
available at the URL my.baldwinmuseumofscience.com.
Requests for MySites pages are load-balanced between SPC-WEB01 and
SPC-WEB02.
A full backup of the farm is performed once a week.
An incremental backup of the farm is performed once a day.
The Site Owner of the HR site collection requires that the HR Site
Collection be backed up in full on a daily basis.
The managed metadata, user profile, and BCS service applications are
enabled in the farm.
All members of the SharePoint developer team belong to an AD DS
security group named SharePoint_App_Dev.
SearchFarm Topology
The topology of SearchFarm is shown in the following table.
SearchFarm has the following characteristics:
The farm currently uses SPS-DB01 as its primary database instance.
SPS-DB01 has experienced multiple hard drive failures in the last month.
The identity of the search service application is not documented.
Technical RequirementsThe following requirements must be met for ContentFarm and SearchFarm:
All administrative activities must be performed by using Windows
PowerShell.
Custom applications created by using the SharePoint app model must
be deployed to, and hosted in, an internal App Store.
Site owners must not be able to directly purchase third-party apps from
the public SharePoint Store.
Members of the SharePoint_App AD DS security group must have the
ability to submit new apps and app updates to the App Store of ContentFarm.
Members of the SharePoint_App_Dev AD DS security group must not be
granted farm administrator rights in ContentFarm.
The Time Entry app must remain available to users at all times.
The contents of ContentFarm must be indexed by the Search service
application of SearchFarm.
All responses to queries submitted by users in ContentFarm must be
served by the Search service application of SearchFarm.
The database resources for SearchFarm must be configured to be highly
available by using SQL Server database mirroring with automatic failover.
MySite content databases must be moved to a separate clustered
database instance. The new clustered database instance must be created by
using existing database servers in ContentFarm.
All storage resources for both farms must be redundant and provide
high performance for both read and write operations and support disk
mirroring.
A snapshot of the current state of the managed metadata service
application must be taken before the service application receives the planned
major update.

A)
$account = Get-SPManagedAccount “<farm account>”
Where: <farm account> is the name of the Farm administrators account in the SharePoint farm
Example: $account = Get-SPManagedAccount “sp_farm”
B)
$appPoolSubSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name SettingsServiceAppPool -Account $account
