What does this mean?

Answer 1

Hi @ComputerHabit,

To configure the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service for a hybrid setup, you need to ensure that you have a Subscription Settings service application and its corresponding proxy. This involves using Microsoft PowerShell to create these components. The command you would typically use is New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication, which is provided in the documentation as an example script.

In simpler terms, this means you cannot just enable the service through the SharePoint Central Administration interface; you need to execute specific PowerShell commands to set up the Subscription Settings service application and its proxy correctly.
