Published intranets in SharePoint Server 2010

 

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

Summary: Learn about the tasks you should perform to plan, develop, deploy, operate, and use a published intranet site based on SharePoint Server 2010.

A published intranet site is a site that is internal to an organization and uses the publishing features in UNRESOLVED_TOKEN_VAL(1st_OSS_14) to host content for the whole organization. This is usually the main communications site or portal for the organization. Typically, such a site is not available to external users. The site is usually branded and is not a collaboration mechanism, but instead it's a place to provide information that should be widely shared with the whole organization.

Key Features and Assumptions

For this solution, the following features are used extensively:

  • Publishing

  • Content approval workflow

  • Branding

  • Custom Web Parts

  • Audiences

  • RSS feeds

For this solution, we made the following assumptions:

  • Content is managed and must be approved An editorial team sets the structure, standards, and schedule for content and approves content before it is published.

  • Content deployment is not required This solution has a combined authoring and publishing environment and does not have to have content deployment.

  • Collaboration sites are not included Collaboration sites have a different content structure and permission model. Search is used to index and expose content from related collaboration sites.
