We’ll cover new terminology, new management options that come with SharePoint 2010 including the addition of Managed Accounts, changes to the install and briefly cover the upgrade options. We’ll also touch on some of the architecture changes including introducing you to Shared Service Applications.

Throttling and Performance

No more of that tired old, “SharePoint can’t handle lists with more than 2000 items” stuffOptions to keep users from shooting themselves (and you) in the footServer monitors its own performance

Controlling Large Lists

Can handle 50 million items per listAs lists grow larger, the performance suffersResult sets are trimmed down

Users and admins have different settingsHappy hour settingsObject Model overrideWindows PowerShell block of Object Model override

HTTP Request Monitoring and Throttling

Another new feature in 2010 is the ability to throttle performance during high server loadServer performance is monitored and if thresholds are exceeded

Get request receive 503 errorsTimer jobs cannot startPut request are still allowed

HTTP Request Monitoring and Throttling

Designed to protect server during peak load

Available memoryCPU %ASP.NET queueWait time in queue

Checked every 5 seconds3 over limit starts throttling, logs event1 below limit stops throttling
