Manage your SharePoint default settings with PowerShell
This post is part of my PowerShell PowerUp project.
The only way to deploy SharePoint default settings for site collections and sites manually is using predefined site templates or an ugly third party tool. And in case you’ll do that with site templates it’ll cost a lot of the time to update settings which were already set.
However with PowerShell it’s possible to deploy SharePoint default settings automatically and it’s a lot easier than you might think.

Introduction
A website has to be only accessible by one specific host name. Otherwise search engines will index your website two or more times.
A lot of people think that a website should only be published as www.[host].
I think this is wrong, using the www section is a old fashioned way of how companies have structured their DNS records.
There are users which still use the www before tipping an url and others who don’t.
However we will allow both of them to access our website.
Update SharePoint Token Lifetime to update AD permissions faster
Since SharePoint 2013 only supports claim based authentication I discovered that updates in SharePoint Active Directory groups do not take effect immediately.
Thanks to Ryan McIntyre there’s a simple fix for that issue.
By adjusting the lifetime of the claims token you can shorten the time it takes to update the Active Directory group changes.

SharePoint Export and Import Term Sets from Term Store
The SharePoint term store service is one of the most important parts of a SharePoint installation. It’s the best place to store an manage global metadata for your companies documents.
It’s not that hard to design a term set in Excel and import it afterwards with the built-in term store import wizard.
However there’s no tool or wizard that allows you to get a term set out of the term store.
It’s only possible with my PowerShell function (which is as always part of my PowerShell PowerUp project)
