SharePoint Application Proxy Group

SharePoint Application Proxy Group

Proxy group

is the relationship between web application and the service application connection (Proxy) or connection for a service application

It enables the web application to associate with just the application services needed

EX: my site web application doesn’t need to be associated with all service applications

By default, there is only one Application Proxy Group

Go to central admin

Then

To create new application Proxy Group

New-SPServiceApplicationProxyGroup -Name “new name of your proxy group”

In my case, I will create one for the Project server only

New-SPServiceApplicationProxyGroup –Name MSproj_Group

Before command

After command

Now assign service application connection (Proxy) to the Proxy group

Use the following command to get list of Proxies

You need the ID of the required service

Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | FT -AutoSize -Property ID, DIs*

Add-SPServiceApplicationProxyGroupMember -Member

Alternatively, you can run the following command to get list of all services with project name

Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where { $_.Name -like “*projec*” }

Now it’s connected

I will assign another proxy the Usage and health data collection Proxy

Now it is connected
