Microsoft® SharePoint® 2016: Site User
Course Description Overview
In many professional environments today, people work collaboratively in teams. Information technology and applications facilitate this by allowing people to easily share, access, edit, and save information. Microsoft® SharePoint® 2016 is a platform specifically designed to facilitate collaboration, allowing people to use familiar applications and Web-based tools to create, access, store, and track documents and data in a central location. In this course, you will learn about and use a SharePoint Team Site to access, store, and share information and documents.
SharePoint is a complex platform with many features and capabilities. A strong understanding of those features and capabilities will allow you to work more efficiently and effectively with SharePoint, and with the documents and data stored in SharePoint. Furthermore, effective use of new social networking capabilities will allow you to identify, track, and advance issues and topics most important to you, and collaborate with colleagues more effectively.
In this course, you will be able to use resources on a typical SharePoint Team Site in the course of performing normal business tasks.
You will:
- Interact with SharePoint Team Sites.
- Work with documents, content, and libraries.
- Interact in SharePoint.
- Work with Lists.
- Integrate SharePoint with Microsoft Office.
To ensure your success in this course, you should have basic end-user skills with Microsoft Windows 8 or later, and any or all of the Microsoft Office 2013 or 2016 suite components, plus basic competence with Internet browsing. You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the following United States Career Campus courses:

This course requires four server computers, and one workstation for each student and one for the instructor. The Domain Controller computer must have 4 GB of RAM, the Exchange Server must have 6 GB of RAM, and the SharePoint server computer must have at least 12 GB of RAM or you will likely encounter errors during or after setup that are related to low memory conditions. The Office Online Server can run with as little as 6 GB of RAM. The student workstations should be standard Windows 10 installations.
If you need to reduce the number of servers, you can combine the Domain Controller and the Exchange server onto one server. This may cause some issues like the Exchange services not starting automatically on start up. You will have to manually start each service or run the StartExchangeServices.bat file in the C:\\091068Data\Setup\DT-Exch folder. To combine the servers, perform all steps for DT-DC. Then perform the steps starting with Step 8. Replace any instances of DT-Exch with DT-DC. The machine should have at least 8 GB of RAM.
If you are using Hyper-V virtual machines, in the Firmware section of Hyper-V Manager Settings, uncheck the Enable Secure Boot option. Otherwise, when attempting to install updates, the updates will fail.
