SharePoint 2010 MySite: Community Report
The deployment of My Sites is among the most difficult desicsion to make in enterprises with a timid or conservative management style. I thought I would look through the community to see if we have any consensus about what to expects or how to avoid pitfalls.
First of all, our new best friend, Chandima has a nice look here. He identifies benefits, such as connectability and discovery, and he also describes some of the overhead on performance and storage.
He also describes the SharePoint 2007 SSP approach to managing the permission to create a MySite.
Things will be different in the 2010 solution. There’s no SSP servers, only dedicated service servers. I sense that throttling MySite creation is one thing we might use to mitigate the management timidity we spoke of, I supposed we’ll be looking through the profiles service to find the permissions to create new MySites.
