Preface

This guide contains detailed information about  Quest® ControlPoint, a Web-based application that offers a proactive, integrated solution for managing your SharePoint environment.

Audience

The ControlPoint User's Guide is intended for individuals who have responsibilities for administering an organization's SharePoint environment and assumes knowledge of SharePoint administrative concepts. Throughout this guide, the following terminology is used to differentiate between three segments of the intended audience:

Farm Administrator - As defined for SharePoint, an administrator who has permissions and responsibilities for all servers within a SharePoint farm and can perform all administrative tasks in the SharePoint Central Administration Web site for the server or server farm.

ControlPoint Application Administrator - A SharePoint administrator who also has responsibilities for managing ControlPoint configuration and permissions.  A separate guide, the ControlPoint Administration Guide is intended specifically for use by ControlPoint Application Administrators when carrying out these tasks.

Administrator - A SharePoint administrator (generally an IT user) who has administrative responsibilities for site collections throughout the farm, but is not necessarily either a Farm Administrator or a ControlPoint Application Administrator.

Business Administrator (also known as a Site Administrator) - A business user responsible for administering his or her own SharePoint sites.

NOTE:  Business Administrators have access to many, but not all ControlPoint features.  For a complete list of ControlPoint menu options, including those that are not available to Business Administrators, see Default Menu Options for ControlPoint Users.

 

Getting Started with ControlPoint

Quest® ControlPoint is a Web-based tool that runs as a SharePoint application and facilitates the management of multiple SharePoint objects (Web applications, site collections, sites, lists, libraries, and items) and users within a SharePoint farm.  In addition to enabling you to navigate throughout a SharePoint farm using a single interface, ControlPoint offers a number of powerful search and data analysis tools as well as value-added features not currently available in SharePoint.

Launching ControlPoint

Use one of the following options to start the ControlPoint application.

From your workstation browser:

Enter http://<server_machine_name>:<port_number> or <hostname>/_layouts/axceler/xcMain.aspx.

(The server machine name is the name of the machine on which ControlPoint is installed.  1818 is the default port number for the ControlPoint Web application.)

NOTE:  If you are a ControlPoint Application Administrator logging in for the first time, complete the login screen using the account that was designated as the ControlPoint Site Collection Administrator account at the time the ControlPoint application was installed.

From the server on which ControlPoint is installed:

1Log into the server using the account that was designated as the ControlPoint Service Account at the time the ControlPoint application was installed.

2From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs > Metalogix > ControlPoint > Launch ControlPoint Application.

From within a SharePoint site:

NOTE:  You can launch ControlPoint from within a SharePoint site only if the ControlPoint for Site Admins feature and/or the ControlPoint Menus for Site Settings feature has been activated for the site. More information can be found in the ControlPoint Administration Guide.
