SharePoint 2010 Goes Social, Part 2

摘要

In the first part of this three-part series on SharePoint social computing features, I discussed how the User Profile plays a key role in delivering the overall social networking experience. (See "SharePoint 2010 Goes Social, Part 1," June 2011, InstantDoc ID 129949.) This month, I discuss how to populate the User Profile via synchronization with other directory sources—specifically with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Part 3 will describe the primary features that are used to better exploit a major information asset of any organization: its people. Note that the social networking features described in this article are available only in a SharePoint Server 2010 deployment and not in a SharePoint Foundation 2010-only deployment.
