Published intranets in SharePoint Server 2010
Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010
Summary: Learn about the tasks you should perform to plan, develop, deploy, operate, and use a published intranet site based on SharePoint Server 2010.
A published intranet site is a site that is internal to an organization and uses the publishing features in UNRESOLVED_TOKEN_VAL(1st_OSS_14) to host content for the whole organization. This is usually the main communications site or portal for the organization. Typically, such a site is not available to external users. The site is usually branded and is not a collaboration mechanism, but instead it's a place to provide information that should be widely shared with the whole organization.
