Our Environment -
14,000 users international
2 Front End WebServers Load Balanced
SQL Cluster (2 boxes)
IT Side
3 IT Folks drivng the business
1 SQL DBA
1 Server Hardware Specialists
Business Side (15 Portal Areas - 70+ Sites)
Our Content Management is put back on the business side to
eliviate IT from having to manage content.
No one works full time on the Portal Environment only when
we have new roll out of sites or something technically
doesn't work.

this is a VERY

Here's the rules and

>10-50 contributors, 1500 readers. No personal sites,
SPPS 2003 SP1.
>Desktop users are mostly WinXP Pro, Office 97 and are
connecting via Netware

single server
>implementation or shared services with 2 servers, one
running SQL and
>indexing, other front end.

>Assume the following -
>1. desktop users will be on Office 2003 within 12 months
time
>2. person(s) administering the SharePoint box have AD,
TCP/IP and basic web
>knowledge but very little time.

>I spoke with him briefly and indicated that I believed
that a Microsoft
>centric administrator could pick up the skills needed to
create sites,
>manage security, perform basic maintenance, set up search
scopes and crawls
>fairly easily. I also indicated that the initial design
and configuration
>is where the bulk of the work is, and that once the
structure is in place
>then ongoing maintenance isn't that difficult. Their
primary use is
>document management, collaboration and meeting workspaces.
>
>I estimated approx 8 hours a week to administer
SharePoint. This may be
>very high or very low, I only know how long it would take
me.
>
>Anybody went through this before, if so, what was the
deliverable and end
>result? I don't want to recommend they hire someone, I
don't think thats
>the right solution for a lightly utilized system.
