I did a deep search over internet and watched videos. There is nowhere that I could find how to make Sharepoint 2010 accesible from internet using SBS 2011.
What could be the steps to do this?
i.e : sharepoint 2010 is running properly on intranet. But the users want to reach it from home as well. And we are using SBS 2011 including Active Directory. How will these users reach sharepoint from home or not only from intranet?
Would you direct me ?
I guess best solution is to provide VPN access to users. - future proof and you don't have to tweak any thing to the server. Its cheaper as well considering the cost and they will have seamless integration to AD
Next since you have already have AD configured ( it depends on how it has been setup) you could have additional ADFS configuration to authorise users.
See if you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 essentials which gives more power than SBS 11 in terms of Claims authentication
Finally, you have to use Claim Based Authentication for the authentication and DNS routing etc which you might have seen on the videos.
Finally, you have cloud think Azure as well as an option.
Although I haven't configured SBS 2011 for SharePoint extranet, It appears to be same like windows 2008 server (slim down one) according to MSDN which should not affect your requirement. Apart from licensing... ( check this).

We have TFS 2015 installed on a server and are looking at having a 3rd party connect and help with the workload. With this, we do not want to create an Active Directory user for them unless we absolutely have to. My question is, is there a way that TFS 2015 supports users outside of an active directory environment and is there a way to do dual authentication for those users?
I did find this article and was not sure if it applies to TFS 2015 as well. Team Foundation Service is not an option for us as an option either.
TFS non windows users
No, you will have to create an AD account for every external user.
If you move to VSTS (there is a solid migration route), you can use AAD and add the venders AAD or MSA accounts to your AAD and give them access. The feature is called Guest accounts. There are no good reasons not to move to VSTS. It's more secure and has more features... And you dont have to upgrade or add disk space ever again.
I'm so sorry if this question is very basic but I'm very new to SharePoint. I only explored SharePoint Office 365 (SharePoint Online) so I'm not familiar with the server-side of it. I'm using SharePoint 2010. I've installed it in a server along with SQL Server 2008 R2 (so this server is the SharePoint server and the database server). I've configured it as a standalone (which is I'm not sure if right). I have another server for Active Directory Users and the SharePoint/Database server is a member of it's domain. How can I add users from Active Directory to be able to access the Central Administration and the site I'm going to build with the SharePoint/Database server? Please help me as I'm a beginner here. Thanks a lot in advance!
Login using the user which you used to install the Sharepoint 2010.
It will become your System Account . Then add other AD users to the CA site. and provide them appropriate permissions as per your requirements
Also add ad users to the site collection administrators for the other site you want to access .
Add them as a Site collection administrators for that site from Central administration
then log into that site :- goto site actions > site setting > People and Group
Here you can add the users in a group from AD users and provide them appropriate permissions
I have tried to configure alternate access mappings in my SharePoint 2010 which is installed in WorkGroup Windows Server 2008 R2 server but could not make it work.
Here are my steps.
Go to Central Administration-> Manage Web Application.
Select a web application and extend it.
Provide the my12server.com in the host header and leave other default values as it is. I changed the zone to Extranet.
Click Ok.
After sometime, it creates Web Application in SharePoint and Web Site in IIS.
I have changed my hosts file by adding entry
192.168.1.11 my12server.com
Browse the new extended. It asks for credential. Supplied the correct credential but nothing got display. Just a blank page.
Note: I have however successfully extended web application when the SharePoint 2010 is in domain machine.
Please advice me.
Thanks

SharePoint is designed to work in domain environments only. In other words, you cannot expect to run it on an underlying Windows Server which joined into a workgroup and expect full functionality. Although there are blog posts around describing installation in a workgroup environment (or, better to say, using local accounts), I wouldn't recommend wasting time with such a mode of operation.
Furthermore, it doesn't make sense to extend a web application just for the sake of providing another hostname. Extending web applications multiple times is mostly useful when you need different authentication providers for each of them. In your simple case you can just configure multiple Alternate Access Mapping records for a single web application.
I am trying to install sharepoint 2010 foundation. I want to have farm content database on a different machine which is not on a domain, but in a workgroup.
When I do a server farm installation, on 'specify database settings' screen, it asks for a domain account. The problem is that my db machine is not on a domain. Is there any way to install sharepoint with this requirement.
The short answer is no, I don't believe you can. You can get away with installing SharePoint 2010 as a single-server standalone configuration in a workgroup, using local accounts for services. To add other servers to form a multiple-server farm, you need a domain environment.
The most straight forward way to do this is have a second server acting as a domain controller and have both servers in their own network. You could try having SHarePoint, SQL and DC all running on the same server, but this might be too much for one server to handle.
I'm trying to decide to between using MojoPortal for my organizations CMS or Commerce Server 2009 with SharePoint 2010.
We already have SharePoint 2010 for our intranet. In that thinking, perhaps it would make sense to deploy the same technology?
We do not have a lot of traffic but do need basic e-commerce functionality.
I haven't really found a lot of documentation for Commerce Server 2009. It would have to share the same server with SharePoint 2010. I'm not worried about that because of the low traffic.
I'm worried about how difficult it is to install. Is it a nightmare product to install or is it pretty straightforward? Is it unrealistic for it to share a server with SharePoint 2010, even in relatively low traffic?
Any experiences with administering MojoPortal?
Thanks!
I've been working with Commerce Server for 6 years since 2002 version.
There is no problem in running your solution in the same SharePoint server of your intranet portal, since you have low traffic prevision. In regard to installation issues you should have in mind that it's not a simple product and the configuration usually takes some time. I think it's not a "nightmare" but not that simple too.
If you wish you could start you solution based on Starter Site which can be installed and then customized. The Starter Site have almost all features that you need in a simple e-commerce site.
