If you have shared services enabled in the corporate portal site and you have My Site set up to use My Site profiles, you use the portal site to host personal sites by default. This makes all personal site links in the other portal sites redirect users to a person’s My Site profile when a people search is performed; for example, https://www.contoso.com/MySite.
Or, when you specify a personal site provider, you can use a separate portal site to host personal sites. After you specify a personal site provider, all users who access personal sites on the current server are automatically redirected to the server that you specify.
Before you perform this procedure, confirm that:
You have read the topic Manage people links in people search results (Office SharePoint Server 2007).
