You can transfer data between drawings displayed in a Visio Web Access Web Part and other web parts. For example, you can create a Web Part page with a library app web part that displays a filtered list of Visio drawing files and connects to a Visio Access Web Part.

Microsoft SharePoint 2013 : Working with Visio Services - Designing dashboards - Data linking (part 3) - Mapping external data to shapes

Once you drag a row of data from the External Data Window onto a shape, a set of data graphics is created in the Data Graphics gallery and the first data graphic in the gallery is automatically applied to the data-linked shape.

Microsoft SharePoint 2013 : Working with Visio Services - Designing dashboards - Data linking (part 2) - Refreshing external data

Visio Services will then contact that external source and run a query that asks for the data set, which is cached together with the schema of the external data into the Visio diagram. Visio Services then disconnects from the data source and presents the data at the bottom of Visio in the External List Window as a record set.

Microsoft SharePoint 2013 : Working with Visio Services - Designing dashboards - Data linking (part 1) - Obtaining external data

Access data sources are not supported by Visio Services. To use Visio Services to refresh data from an Excel workbook or a previously created connection, then the workbook or the data connection file must be located on the same SharePoint site as the drawing.

Microsoft SharePoint 2013 : Looking at Visio Services (part 4) - Visio Services security considerations,Supported data scenarios

When Visio drawings are connected to external data and the elements in the drawings can be updated based on that data, security is an important consideration. Users must have permission to view the diagram and the data that the diagram is connected to.

To truly understand the purpose and function of service applications it is helpful to look at the way services used to be provided in SharePoint. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) used a different service model called the Shared Service Provider (SSP).

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Consolidating a Windows 2000 Domain to a Windows Server 2003 Domain Using ADMT (part 5) - Migrating Computer Accounts

Another important set of objects that must be migrated is also one of the trickier ones. Computer objects must not only be migrated in AD, but they must also be updated at the workstations themselves so that users will be able to log on effectively from their consoles.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Consolidating a Windows 2000 Domain to a Windows Server 2003 Domain Using ADMT (part 4) - Migrating User Accounts

User accounts are the “bread and butter” of domain objects and are among the most important components. The biggest shortcoming of ADMT v1.0 was its inability to migrate passwords of user objects, which effectively limited its use.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Consolidating a Windows 2000 Domain to a Windows Server 2003 Domain Using ADMT (part 3) - Migrating Groups

In most cases, the first objects to be migrated into a new domain should be groups. If users are migrated first, their group membership will not transfer over. However, if the groups exist before the users are migrated, they will automatically find their place in the group structure.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Consolidating a Windows 2000 Domain to a Windows Server 2003 Domain Using ADMT (part 2) - Installing a Password Migration DLL on the Source Domain

A special password migration dynamic link library (DLL) must be installed on a domain controller in the source domain. This machine will become the Password Export Server for the source domain

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Upgrading Separate AD Forests to a Single Forest Using Mixed-Mode Domain Redirect (part 2)

It is important to note that even though the domain is in Mixed mode, the account must be created in advance if the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) function in the domain runs on a Windows 2000 domain controller; otherwise, the BDC cannot be added to the domain.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 : Upgrading Separate AD Forests to a Single Forest Using Mixed-Mode Domain Redirect (part 1)

The first step in the Mixed-Mode Domain Redirect process is identifying two temporary servers that will be needed in the migration. These servers do not necessarily need to be very fast servers because they will be used only for temporary storage of domain information.

Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 7) - Managing shared storage - Managing volumes, Managing shares

You can use the Shares subpage of the File And Storage Services page in Server Manager to manage your shares. For example, by right-clicking on a share in the Shares tile as shown in Figure 14, you can perform tasks such as configuring a quota on the folder, stopping the sharing of the folder (this does not delete the underlying folder for the share), or opening the properties for the share.

Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 6) - Managing shared storage

You can use the Storage Pools subpage of the File And Storage Services page in Server Manager to manage your virtual disks.
