Planning your MOSS Search Team

Hi all,

I have been asked many times by other consultants or customers, how to plan the MOSS Search team. Before planning and rolling out the deployment of MOSS, you need to know what your Search planning and Operations team might need to look like.

There are guidelines on Microsoft's TechNet site on what the Search planning team might look like, what the Search Process might include and plan your Search Operations and Deployment team. You can find this information at: https://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/b4b9ceae-3837-4a79-8097-d6381500e4401033.mspx

There is also a handy worksheet for customers to track who their Search administrators are for a MOSS deployment and their details such as their name, user or group account, names of SSPs they will administrator and other useful information. I recommend you download this worksheet and use it for your MOSS Search deployment. You can find this at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=73621&clcid=0x409

Hope that helps
Mike
