  SharePoint Hub Site   As you now, today every organization has an intranet portal for the business. Today’s intranet portal is based on hierarchical structure of subsite relationships to nest sites within sites and shared navigation to connect sites. But there is a challenge with hierarchical structure. ‘Challenge is governance of intranet like managing permission etc. and no more flexibility and changes.’ Example- Like a user has permission ‘update’ on a site collection of intranet portal but we want to remove the permission from sub sites. For the same we have to break inheritance, we have to provide permission individually one by one for all sub sites. On other end, Many features like retention and classification in SharePoint apply to all sites within site collection, whether you want them to or not.

This combination enhances your knowledge. Today, we have a critical reporting issue from client that is “ Employee has left organization but Employee is still in People Picker” . This issue is related to User profile Synchronization. To overcome this issue we need to creating User profile Synchronization Exclusion Filters using the Active Directory Attribute ”userAccountControl”. Exclusion filter has an advantage of reducing the amount of “Junk” in the profile database and also decrease the time taken to perform synchronization. The userAccountControl attribute is used to store the account options for an AD user object. These options include the status of the account (e.g. disabled, or locked out). Each option is a property flag. These flags are cumulative and thus there is only ever one value for userAccou...
