SharePoint administration – i believe, many of us using the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration (call it CAdm) to do the configuration and other activities of administration. This blog discuss about the overview of the 3 tabs “Home“, “Operation” and “Application Management” and brief about each section under these tabs.
You can view these tabs from the following pictures (Click on the images).
Central Administration - Home
Central Administration - Operation
Central Administration - Application Management
The CAdm Home page provides the access of the other areas of administration and the Administrator task list. We will discuss about this tab after the other 2 tabs CAdm – Operation and Application Management.
The CAdm Operation page helps us to manage the platform, server and topology management, backup and restore. The following sections are available in this page.
- Topology and Services
- Security Configuration
- Logging and Reporting
- Upgrade and Migration
- Global Configuration
- Backup and Restore
- Data Configuration
- Content Deployment
we will look into these sections in forth coming parts.
The CAdm Application Management pags helps us to manage the applications and sites created in SharePoint server or server farm. We can configure the sites, search service, shared services setings and Infopath Forms service. The following sections are available in this page.
- SharePoint Web Application Management
- SharePoint Site Management
- External Service Conectrions
- Infopath Forms services
- Office SharePoint Service Shared Services

we will look into these sections in forth coming parts (i didn’t plan how many parts are going to be, but need to plan).
This blog may be an old news paper for techies of SharePoint. But definitly this will help for who new to SharePoint.
We can do the administration using command line tool STSADM.exe. But we will not focus this now, may later section. But i can suggest an article from Microsoft TechNet. Please find the link bellow for command line administration.
