Update Farm Credentials in SharePoint 2010,2013

Update Farm Credentials in SharePoint 2010,2013

A common task that every time A SharePoint Administrator need to do is to update the SharePoint Farm credentials  when the password changes.  may be able to do this automatically by using the new SharePoint 2010 feature to plan automatic password change.

No Command in  Power Shell to update the farm account, you have to switch to the tool “STSADM” only.

Since its SharePoint 2010,go to the path now the c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Bin folder and type the below STSADM to update.

Since its SharePoint 2013 go to the path now the c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\Bin folder and type the below STSADM to update
stsadm –o updatefarmcredentials –userlogin DOMAIN\username –password $password$

Explanation of Zones in Alternate Access Mappings


Zones represent different logical paths (URLs) of gaining access to the same Web application. You can use zones to enforce different access and policy conditions for group of users.    
                                  

Each Web application can have a maximum of 5 zones. The 5 possible zones are:
·        Default:
·        Intranet
·        Internet
·        Custom
·        Extranet

When you create a Web application, the Default zone is created. You can then extend the Web application to create other zones.
Each zone can only be selected once per Web application. For example, you can only have one Default zone in a Web application.
Each zone is represented by a different Web site in IIS.

Performance of SharePoint Servers

Performance of SharePoint Servers                
Performance issues is all common in SharePoint. Many times it’s a big complainant from users that sites are very slow and not able to do work on SharePoint as expected. Here are some of the STRONGLY recommended methods that should be followed as base on my Experience.

SQL Maxdop setting should NOT be 0
Set max degree of parallelism (MAXDOP) to 1 for SQL Server instances that host SharePoint Server 2010 databases to ensure that each request is served by a single SQL Server process 

Anti-Virus check.
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint

SQL TempDB configuration and Optimization.

Database maintenance for SharePoint 2010 Products

Disable Certification Revocation checking.

SQL Deadlock errors. Event ID 10016 in logs.
We need to disable following settings on ALL the SharePoint Servers and also SQL Servers. If SQL Server is in Cluster, all the nodes in the cluster also needs to be changed. After making the Changes, Reboot of all the Servers including SQL servers is Mandatory.

TCP Chimney Offload 
 By Default in Wind 2008 Servers, this setting is "Automatic", we need to Disable it. "netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037.

 IP Task Offload. by Default in Wind 2008 Servers, this setting is "Enabled", we need to disable it. "netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled". This is also applicable for Fast for SharePoint Server issues.


NIC settings should be Disabled.
IPv4 Checksum Offload”, “Large Send Offload” and “TCP Checksum offload” [ note: this may require a hard reboot of the servers ]

 Use of Disable TCP Chimney on SQL Servers
