SharePoint 2010 People Search: Did you know that....

After configuring User Profile Synchronization, I found that SharePoint People Search could still not work as the the content source for the user profiles was being denied access.

With some good research, I came to learn that the Default Content Access Account I had set from my search service application was being denied access to crawl and index the sps3://my.intranet.com repository. To resolve this, I granted the default content access account administrative rights on the User Profile Service application as "Retrieve People Data for Search Crawlers" as seen below.


 

















After the above, I did a full crawl, and when again attempted to perform a people search, I was hit by an error on the results as "Property doesn’t exist or is used in a manner inconsistent with schema settings". I went into more research, and I found out that if I edited the People Core Results webpart and under Core Results section, I expand the Display Properties, I checked the "Use Location Virtualization", as seen below, it finally sorted the issue.


Good luck.

How to implement a SharePoint "Change Management Process"

Not so much from the technical point of view, SharePoint Change Management is the process of monitoring and controlling changes within a SharePoint project. By managing the implementation of change, you can: • Reduce the impact of changes to the SharePoint project • Identify new issues and risks as a result of changes raised • Ensure that changes do not affect the SharePoint project's ability to achieve its desired objectives • Control the cost of change within the SharePoint project Change Management is comprised of the following processes: Step 1: Identify Change: The first step in the change process is to identify the need for change.
