Change URL for existing personal site
Hi Dean,
The reason is just that for the users URL should be meaningful and relevant to the content there.
I used fake URLs in this thread, so I'm sorry for confusing. I will try to draw a more detailed picture.
http://collaboration.contoso.com is in use for specific collaboration features
http://collaboration.contoso.com/sites/my is in use for my site (profile, newsfeed, etc.)
http://collaboration.contoso.com/personal/%username is in use for personal sites
So what we want is to logically separate personal sites from "collaboration" portal because that would correspond the current corporate vision of business processes structure. Specifically, structure should be like this:
http://collaboration.contoso.com is in use for specific collaboration features
http://onedrive.contoso.com is in use for my site (profile, newsfeed, etc.)
http://onedrive.contoso.com/personal/%username is in use for personal sites
Hope this makes sense.
This typically occurs automatically when the web app is created for the personal sites, if you follow the instructions at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 you will achieve your goal.
- Hello Dean, I can't see any specific configuration of web application in this article. What you are probably referring to is creating new profile service application, or? But this is not an option for me since I need existing user profiles to remain.
