Master This Powerful Collaboration Tool for Windows Server Networks

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 is the latest version of the collaboration tool found in Windows Server 2003 R2—a feature-rich product that can be deployed to help you manage and improve information-sharing across your company's network. WSS 3.0 is also the underlying technology of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

Now with this comprehensive book as your point-by-point guide, you'll go under the hood of WSS 3.0 and discover how to make it easy to share documents, track tasks, create common workspaces where teams can work collectively, set up surveys and discussion groups, and more.

The book provides step-by-step coverage of what system administrators need to know, including essential techniques for site creation, administration, customization, security, and disaster recovery—plus pages of detailed, real-world examples. You'll also find practical steps for migrating from version 2.0 to 3.0.

Coverage includes:

  • Understanding the basics of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

  • Adding, moving, removing, and customizing web parts

  • Creating pre-built and new custom lists

  • Setting up libraries for documents, pictures, forms, and wikis

  • Checking documents in and out—and managing checked files

  • Using global breadcrumbs to get back to where you started

  • Managing security and permissions

  • Backing up and restoring SQL databases, lists, libraries, and more

  • Migrating from SharePoint Services 2.0 to 3.0

  • Create Information-Sharing Solutions across People and Documents

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely 5 Stars, July 24, 2008
I come to this as a database developer with 25 years experience and with absolutely no knowledge of SharePoint. I rarely write a review. But on this book, I had to do so.

When I first started to administer and develop in SharePoint, I knew nothing about it. So I got 5 books. I still use one other book (the development book) for the heavy lifting but most of the time I use Mastering Windows SharePoint Services by Callahan.

I have several friends in other organizations that administer SharePoint. The ones who have training and knowledge love it. Those that do not, hate it. This is one way to get that information.

First, Callahan shows in detail how to install and secure SharePoint as he lists the underlying functions such as email, searching, and accounts.

Then, one command at a time he takes us through the process of all the services - lists, libraries, web parts, work spaces, and others.

Next, he demonstrates how granular the rights and privileges can be given. Specific users can see, access, use, or modify exactly what the site director decides while he monitors the activity.

Each step of every example is demonstrated throughout. Then the background information is discussed in depth.

Whether you are new to SharePoint or you are an administrator on it, this book will answer most of your questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, January 31, 2008
By Richard Civil (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have not finished this book yet, but the information I have gleaned so far I nothing short of fantastic! Clear, in depth, easy to understand and drilling to the technical depths is how I would describe this book. I would write more, but I just can't wait to go back to reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have SharePoint Reference, March 14, 2008
By G. Frick (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a SharePoint instructor I am always on the lookout for additional references that I can recommend to my students and also use to improve my own delivery of a complex topic.

I think it is essential to have a clear understanding of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) as the foundation of what MS refers to as "SharePoint Products and Technologies". Many people (myself included) dig right into MS Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) without a complete understanding of what is part of WSS what is only available with a MOSS license. This problem is exacerbated if the only SharePoint reference on your bookshelf is a MOSS reference (hint - book titles with SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint Server 2007 in the title are probably MOSS books).

I really like the authors writing style. I find the explanations clear and the style comfortable and accessible.

I highly recommend this book whether you are in a MOSS or WSS only environment.
