Topic 5, Contoso Ltd
Background
A company named Contoso, Ltd. has offices in Seattle and Toronto. Each office has a data center and a
region-specific site in a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. The
database servers run Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Database servers are installed in each data center and
are members of the region-specific sites. The WAN connection between the data centers is a dedicated T3
connection.
Existing Corporate Farm
Contoso has a SharePoint farm named HQ-SP10. The SharePoint servers in the farm run SharePoint Server
2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
HQ-SP10 hosts many web applications that require unique service accounts. A SharePoint 2010 web
application named WebApp1 is located at https://webapp1.contoso.com. WebApp1 references a custom
knowledge base module in HQ-SP10 and the content is stored in the SharePoint database HQDB. Employees
authenticate to WebApp1 by using classic mode authentication.
Users in both offices make frequent updates to SharePoint content. Administrators make only minimal changes
to the SharePoint farm settings and web applications.
Existing Product Support Farm
The product support department hosts a SharePoint farm named DEPT-SP13. The SharePoint servers in the
farm run SharePoint Server 2013 and are members of a domain named PrdSupport.contoso.com.
DEPT-SP13 hosts two service applications:
A built-in service application provides access to a business data model connected to the company’s data
warehouse.
A custom service application named SvcApp1 provides access to data in a legacy system.
Users in the product support department access the service applications by using a local web application
named WebApp2. WebApp2 is located at webapp2.contoso.com and is stored in the SharePoint database
DEPTDB. Users in other departments access the service applications by using WebApp1.
Technical Challenges
You are upgrading HQ-SP10 and the web applications hosted in the farm to a new SharePoint Server 2013
farm named HQ-SP13.
When upgrading the content database to SharePoint Server 2013, you receive the following error message:
Business Requirements
The SharePoint 2010 environment must meet the following business requirements:
HQ-SP10 must provide read-only access to users during the migration.
All customizations in HQ-SP10 must be migrated to HQ-SP13.
The SharePoint 2013 environment must meet the following business requirements:
HQ-SP13 and the web applications must remain available if one of the SharePoint servers or databaseservers is offline.
Users’ documents stored in HQ-SP13 must be available if all the servers in a region are offline.
Shared resources in SvcApp1 must be available to other SharePoint farms in the company.
All customizations in HQ-SP13 must be verified after the farm upgrade.
Periodically, you must provide an offline copy of site content from HQ-SP13 to the legal department.
Technical Requirements
You have the following technical requirements:
All users must be able to access the business data model for the company data warehouse. Backup
administrators must be able to restore HQ-SP13, WebApp1, and SvcApp1 separately.
The SharePoint 2013 environment for HQ-SP13 must meet the following technical requirements:
The database servers must run Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
The databases must belong to a SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group and use the WAN connection for
database replication between the sites.
The database servers must be configured with the Enable Contained Databases property.
Application pools for the web applications require unique service accounts.
After the upgrade, users in the accounting department who connect to WebApp1 must be able to access
shared resources in SvcApp1.
###EndCaseStudy###
You need to make the required resources available for users in the accounting department.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of
actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Select and Place:
Answer: 
Explanation:
Box 1: Set the permission for SvcApp1 to full Control on DEPT-Sp13.
Box 2: Exchange trust certificates between HQ-Sp13 and DEPT-Sp13.
Box 3: Connect to SvcApp1 on HQ-SP13. Add SvcApp1 to WebApp1.
Box 4: Publish SvcApp1 on HQ-SP13.
Scenario:
After the upgrade, users in the accounting department who connect to WebApp1 must be able to access
shared resources in SvcApp1
A custom service application named SvcApp1 provides access to data in a legacy system.
Shared resources in SvcApp1 must be available to other SharePoint farms in the company.
HQ-SP10 hosts many web applications that require unique service accounts. A SharePoint 2010 web
application named WebApp1 is located at https://webapp1.contoso.com. WebApp1 references a custom
knowledge base module in HQ-SP10 and the content is stored in the SharePoint database HQDB.
Employees authenticate to WebApp1 by using classic mode authentication.
DEPT-SP13 hosts two service applications.

Puccini (5.02.2015): Shouldnt it be that way?
1. Exchange trusts between farms (HQ-SP13 – DEPT-SP13)
2. Publish the service on the publishing farm (DEPT-SP13 –> Hosting the SvcApp1)
3. Set permissions to FULL Control (DEPT-SP13 –> its the publishing farm)4. Connect to the service (Connect to SvcApp1 on HQ-SP13)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff621100(v=office.15).aspx
Rosa (7.05.2015): Thanks for the link Puccini. According to the link, you’ve got the third step wrong. Should be
on the consuming farm which is HQ-SP13. The correct answer is
1.Exchange trust certificates between HQ-SP13 and DEPT-SP13.
2.Publish SvcApp1 on DEPT-SP13.
3.Set the permission for SvcApp1 to Full Control on HQ-SP13.
4.Connect to SvcApp1 on HQ-SP13. Add SvcApp1 to WebApp1.
Alex (19.07.2015): Rosa, I think this article is wrong, but it refers to another article,
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff700211
It states that permissions should be configured in publishing farm, not in consuming. So permissions should be
set up on DEPT-SP13, not on HQ-SP13:
1.Exchange trust certificates between HQ-SP13 and DEPT-SP13.
2.Publish SvcApp1 on DEPT-SP13.
3.Set the permission for SvcApp1 to Full Control on DEPT-SP13.
4.Connect to SvcApp1 on HQ-SP13. Add SvcApp1 to WebApp1.
J (14.10.2015): I think the last two are swap
J (16.10.2015):
Exchange trust certificates between the farms.
On the publishing farm, publish the service application.
On the consuming farm, set the permission to the appropriate service applications.
On the consuming farm, connect to the remote service application.
JosefTheGreat (31.03.2016): Have you read the article alex? 🙂 its like rosa wrote!
1. Exchange
2. Publish (DEPT-SP13)
3. Permissions (HQ-SP13)
4. Connect&Add (HQ-SP13)
