Introducing the Administration Tools for Windows SharePoint ServicesMicrosoft Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 includes tools to help you administer the Web sites you create. You can administer Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 locally by using HTML Administration pages or a command-line interface, or remotely by using HTML Administration pages. In addition, you can set properties — such as specifying whether alerts are enabled for a virtual server — by using the command-line interface or HTML Administration pages. You must be either a member of the local administrators group for the server computer or a member of the SharePoint administrators group to be able to use the administration tools for Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2. For more information about the SharePoint administrators group, see Managing the SharePoint Administrators Group. HTML Administration PagesWindows SharePoint Services Beta 2 includes HTML Administration pages to help administer your Web sites and servers. You can use these forms on the local server computer or from a remote computer connected to the Internet. You must have the proper administrator rights to use HTML Administration pages. For Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2, there are two types of administration pages:
Central Administration PagesThe Central Administration pages allow you to administer settings for your server farm, Web server, and virtual servers. These pages are created during Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 setup. By default, a newly created virtual server inherits settings from defaults set on the Central Administration pages. You can change these default settings and specify what settings to use for each extended virtual server. You must be a member of the local administrators group for the server computer or a member of the SharePoint administrators group to view the Central Administration pages. You gain access to the Central Administration pages from the administration port that Windows SharePoint Services Beta 2 created during setup. To view the pages, on the Start menu, point to All Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration; or, from the browser on a remote computer, type the URL to the pages on the administration port. For example, http://server_name:port or http://localhost:port. Site Administration and Site Settings PagesIn addition to the Central Administration pages, which control settings for each server and virtual server, there are administration pages that control settings for each Web site. You can perform some administrative actions from the Site Settings page, and you can link from there to the Site Administration page. You must have administrator rights to the Web site to perform administrative actions on the Site Settings and Site Administration pages. From the Site Settings and Site Administration pages, you can perform tasks such as:
Note that if you are administering a subsite, the administration tasks available on the Site Administration page for the subsite are a subset of those available for top-level Web sites of a virtual server. The Site Settings and Site Administration pages are stored in the _layouts directory of the Web site. You can navigate to the Site Settings pages by using any of the following methods:
