#spthingaday 026 - SharePoint Server. Service Applications and MinRoles. #SharePoint, #Administration, #Architecture.. In a single server Farm, you might decide to have everything running on that one server.

On a multi-server Farm, services can be started or stopped on particular servers in your Farm to support scale out.

From SharePoint 2016 onwards, you can define MinRoles.
That's the smallest set of services that you require to be switched on for a tier of servers.
A MinRole can then be allocated to specific servers.
SharePoint now takes care of making sure the right services are started.

To load balance Services without MinRoles, you just start an instance of your Service on a new Server.

However, with MinRoles, you just need to associate your MinRole with the server.
SharePoint will then start and load balance the requisite Services without any further work on your part.

#spthingaday 028 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 02. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Continuing our series of posts about SharePoint migration - today's lesson: expect reorganisation.

Best practices for naming Site Collections on-premise, is to use Host Named Site Collections. For instance, hr.mycompanyname.com, sales.mycompanyname.com, finance.mycompanyname.com.

SharePoint Online supports neither custom Managed Paths nor Host Named Site Collections.
All Site Collections in SharePoint Online have to be created at one of three locations: at the root, under /sites, or under /teams.

Take the migration as an opportunity to change and adapt your information architecture to make the best use of what SharePoint Online and Office 365 can offer.

While you're at it consider breaking up your sub-site structure, and migrating them into Modern Team Site Collections in anticipation of the forthcoming Hub Site in SharePoint Online.

#spthingaday 029 - Migration. Little Gotchas - 03. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Migration.. Today's lesson: you'll need help.

There's nothing built into SharePoint Server or SharePoint Online to do a full migration for you.

Here are some of the free options.

The lowest common denominator way is to use PowerShell scripting and two mapped drives - one to the source, and one to the target. This will only copy files, and only the current version. You will lose metadata during the copy.

If you need both Lists and Libraries, with versions and metadata, you can use the Export-SPWeb and New-SPMigrationPackage cmdlets. This uploads your content to an Azure Storage account as a temporary location, so that SharePoint Online can suck it in. (http://1jj.uk/spmigpkg)

Another option is the SharePoint Migration Tool only. Today, it only handles files and Document Libraries, but supports metadata and version history. There's also an option to use Azure Storage to speed things up. (http://1jj.uk/spmigtool)

For Content Types, Site Columns and structure, you can use the PnP PowerShell libraries from the Patterns and Practices group. Use this in conjunction with another method to migrate the List and Library content itself. (http://1jj.uk/pnppowershell)
