Troubleshooting SharePoint

In this chapter, Least-Privileged SharePoint Builds from the new book Troubleshooting SharePoint by Stacy Simpkins, you’ll be introduced to least privileged SharePoint Builds. It is important to understand the components of a least privileged build as this aids in troubleshooting the odd behaviours that can arise when builds that were once least privileged have been modified. Least privileged SharePoint Builds follow the best practice recommendations of Microsoft and as a result offer better performance.

Utilize a treasure trove of free SharePoint troubleshooting tools and receive insightful guidance about the types of SharePoint issues that can be discovered through their use. Chapters in this book contrast solid and least privileged builds in order to help you understand the types of issues that are raised when farms are not built the least privileged way.

Because SharePoint errors often present themselves one way, when an issue is actually something entirely different, the process of finding the root cause can feel like going down a rabbit hole. Hands-on exercises get you comfortable with logs so you can efficiently and effectively “explore the rabbit hole.”

Troubleshooting SharePoint also demonstrates how to identify components and settings that enter an environment where access has been restricted. The author shares his proven methods for researching an issue based on what appears in the logs, with the understanding that often it is not as simple as asking a question, but how you ask it that leads to the right answer.
