What was the gap?

Why is Discovery important?

Set up Office hub on your phone

What’s the

URL?

Seamless client side experience for the userThe intent - User should not be expected to enter a Document Library location URL

Discovery is important for …

Setup workflow

SP Admin – sets up My Site host

Exchange Admin updates an Exchange property with the My Site host URL

SP Admin – Checks the My Site host setup page to validate

What should I look out for in the logs?

What has changed with permissions?

2010 : Activity Feed ≠ Personal site

2013 : Social = Personal site

Ex. If UserProfile.PersonalSiteInstantiationState

2010 – query the PersonalSpace URL property

Welcome screen

What should users expect?

E-mail

UserProfile.CreatePersonalSiteEnqueue (Bool)True : Interactive queueFalse: Non-Interactive queue

API

Example scenario -

E-mail invite to 5K users 4% users click on the newsfeed link immediately, Result -> 100 requests in each interactive queue

What should IT Admins expect and plan for?

Assumptions – 3 WFE’s30s to process a request

Max wait time - 3 WFE’s -> 3 personal sites provisioned

concurrently~20 minutes

To avoid long request queues and wait times

Why phased roll out?

Choose a set of users UserProfile.CreatePersonalSiteEnqueue (False)
