Chapter 9. Central Administration: Operations

This chapter is intended to give you a reference point for all of those settings links on the Central Administration site. Chances are good that you will never use a few of them, but it's nice to know what they are, just in case. Many of these settings were covered extensively in previous chapters (they will be pointed out to you), but some haven't, so this chapter will pull them all together in one spot.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand Central Administration's organization

  • Use the settings on the Operations page

  • Manage Solutions and Features

  • Set the Server Farm's default database

  • Determine where to stop and start farm services

  • Change a web application's service account
