Central Administration Service Unavailable

If you want to access your Central Administration and you get an Service Unavailable message, please try to start or restart your Central Administration application pool in the IIS Manager.

Configure Mysite only for a specific user group

Just for keeping everything the administrating easy on the backend, first make a list of the authorized users en put them in a usergroup in Active Directory.

  • Go to the Central Administration and open the Shared Service Provider for your web application.
  • Select  “Personalization services permissions”.
  • On the next page you’ll see a list where you could allow or deny certain functionality to certain groups. There you could define who’s allowed to create a MySite and who’s not. In this case you put the created AD group to the autohorized groups and give them the personal site authorisation.
