Hi All<br />
<br />
I have been tasked with overseeing the installation and configuration of a new sharepoint serve, and just need to be pointed in the correct direction to get me up to speed on this technology (I won't be carrying out the work personnally - but due to a failed previous contract we are rather nervous about giving someone free reign over our hardware).<br />
<br />
We intend to use Sharepoint for our intranet and hope to deploy a searchable knowledge base for our Support department.<br />
Could someone advise or point me in the right direction for how this needs to be set up or configured to implement these features?<br />
<br />
Previous attempts failed on getting the search functionality to work <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance <br />
<br />
Steve

Sharepoint Deployment and configuration

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
