8. Before we begin… This is a HUGE topic We want to give you enough information to get up and running There are a lot of references available – End of slide deck – On the NESPUG site Overview

9. Terms Overview Web ApplicationA web site with unique content IIS Web Application“virtual server” in IIS. A unique instance of: IP Address Host Header Port Number Site Collection/SiteA collection of sites and sub-webs WebA container for lists, libraries, and files CA: Central AdminManage SharePoint Farm settings SSP: Shared ServicesManage additional “shared” configuration options that can be shared across multiple Web Applications (search, profiles, My Sites) HTTPS/SSLRun your site securely on port 443 Kerberos & NTLMWindows Authentication types (forms authentication also available) WSSWindows SharePoint Services MOSSMicrosoft Office SharePoint Server

10. Server Editions WSS 3.0 – Prerequisites and process are a simplified version of the SharePoint Server options. Configuration is also simplified MOSS (Standard/Enterprise/SP for Search) – Installation we will be focusing on today Overview

11. Installation Types Stand-alone installation – Installs the SQL Server 2005 Embedded Edition and uses a default set of install options. Single-Server Farm – Allows you to use an existing SQL Server instance on the same machine. Medium/Large Server Farm– The most flexible and scalable options for installing and future expansion. Overview

12. Server Topology Overview Database Server Web Front EndIndex / Search

13. Installation

14. Service Accounts Create at least one service account, but many options are now available Central Administration / Each Web Application SSP Search indexer Others, see documentation Service account needs to be a local administrator on the Database and all SharePoint Servers On the Database server DB Creator, DB Sys Admin, DB Security Admin Installation

15. Service Accounts Installation Create an e-mail account that can be used for ‘From’ and ‘Reply-to’ settings Set service account passwords to not expire Always use the ‘domain\username’ format

16. SQL Server Setup SQL Server 2000 No additional settings SQL Server 2005 Database Collation settings Surface Area settings Clustered Servers Start with a single node cluster if future expansion is needed Installation

17. SharePoint Servers Windows Server 2003 SP1 and fully patched Validate IIS is installed Validate ASP.NET 2.0 is installed and enabled (aspnet_regiis.exe) Check for WSS v2 installation and turn off (unless side by side) Install.NET Framework 3.0 Once all of these are in place, run the SharePoint setup file. Installation

18. SharePoint Installation A few slides... Installation

19. Product Key Green check mark will show up once a valid key has been entered. (SharePoint Office Server only – not necessary for WSS) Installation

20. License Terms Read, accept and Continue Installation

21. Installation Type Basic – Essentially a one- click install Advanced – Many more options available Installation

22. Server Type Complete: All components needed for any server role or service in a farm (SharePoint Office Server only) Web Front End: Files required for core (WSS) functionality as web server, but limited functionality in a farm Stand-alone: Same as choosing ‘Basic’, but you can select a different file location. Installation

23. File Location Alternate location for binary files. Common files will still be installed in the default location. Installation

24. Microsoft Feedback Program ‘Install Now’ will begin the binary file installation No database changes have been made yet No IIS changes have been made yet Installation

25. Installation Complete Uncheck the checkbox if you don’t want to run the Configuration Wizard right away You will want to uncheck if you are installing SharePoint on multiple servers in a farm Also allows for “pretty named” CA Content Database Installation

26. Summary SharePoint binaries have been deployed Farm does not exist No Database changes No IIS changes Installation

27. Configuration

28. Configuration Steps Optionally use psconfig.exe for more configuration options Use the SharePoint Configuration Wizard to create/join a server farm Configuration

29. Configuration Basics and Tips Configuration REMINDER: Run the Configuration Wizard and other tasks while logged on as the domain service account Prior to running the Configuration Wizard, use the psconfig.exe tool to avoid a database name default value (recommended) In a farm, the first machine that the Configuration Wizard is run on will host the Central Administration site (Optional) Identify a port number that will be used for the Central Administration site

30. psconfig.exe Run on the same server that the Central Administration will be created on. Same file location as STSADM.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin Pre-install the Config and AdminContent databases Psconfig –cmd configdb –create –server –database –user –password –admincontentdatabase Configuration

31. psconfig.exe (cont.) Configuration

32. Configuration Wizard Run the Configuration Wizard on the machine that will host the Central Administration first Configuration

33. Start the Configuration Wizard Configuration

34. Server Farm Settings Creating the Configuration database using psconfig.exe actually created the farm The Configuration Wizard recognizes the database that was created Configuration

35. Central Administration configuration Either accept the randomly generated port number or specify a port number Specify security configuration (Kerberos outside the scope of this presentation) Configuration

36. Review Configuration Settings ‘Next’ will start the configuration process running Configuration

37. Configuration process Watch the progress This is where the process will fail if the service account does not have sufficient permissions Note: There will be 9 tasks when also configuring the Central Administration Configuration

38. Configuration Complete Congratulations! Configuration

39. Welcome to Central Administration ‘Server Farm Configuration Not Complete’ won’t go away until all steps have been completed Note that the farm now includes the single server and the SQL Server If not adding additional servers, services can now be configured Configuration

40. Configure Additional Servers For medium/large farm environments Configuration

41. Run Configuration Wizard on additional servers No matter what the roles of the additional servers, the process of adding them to the farm will be the same Roles will be assigned after the farm has been built Applies to both WSS and SharePoint Office Servers Configuration

42. Specify the Configuration Database Find and connect to the existing configuration database Configuration

43. Validate the database settings The process validates the database and the ability to connect to it with the credentials entered ‘Next’ will initiate the configuration process for the server Configuration

44. Configuration Process Configuration

45. Configuration Complete The additional server has been added to the farm. Configuration

46. Installation Complete Both servers are now listed in the Farm Topology web part Configuration

47. Shared Services Provider (SSP) – Prerequisite Steps (Office SharePoint Server only) Activate and deactivate services on the servers Create index and query service roles Create Web Applications Create and configure the SSP Configuration

48. Office SharePoint Server Search service Office SharePoint Server 2007 only On the Operations tab Select the server where the service will run Configuration

49. Start the service Click Start Configuration

50. Index and Query Search Service Settings SSP configuration will require an index server Select indexing and/or query NOTE: Be sure to specify the full ‘domain\account’ name for the service account Specify the location of the index file for the query server Configuration

51. Disable Unneeded Services For servers not serving web content: Disable the Windows SharePoint Services Web Application service on a server 1. On the SharePoint Central Administration home page, click the Operations tab on the top link bar. 2. On the Operations page, in the Topology and Services section, click Services on server. 3. On the Services on Server page, next to Window SharePoint Services Web Application, click Stop. Configuration

52. Web Application for SSP Create a new Web application Choose a port number (and file path) Create and name a new app pool Assign a service account Assign a database name and server Configuration

53. MySite Configuration Can create another web app, or… (see reference link at end of deck – per Chris Johnson) How-To: I am assuming you have your intranet/portal at http://OrgsIntranet and the mysites location is currently at http://OrgsIntranet:12345/personal/ 1.First you have to make sure you have 2 managed paths set up in the http://OrgsIntranet web application. To do this jump into central admin, "Application Management" tab, "Define Managed Paths". Make sure you are working on the right web application once you are in that screen. 2.Create an Explicit inclusion for path "mysite" 3.Create a Wildcard inclusion for path "personal" 4.Jump back into the "Application Management" tab & choose "Create site collection" 5.Create a new site (call it MySiteHost if you like), pick "Create site that this URL" and choose "mysite", also pick the "My Site Host" template (important). 6.Once that site is created jump back into Central Admin, go into your Shared Services Provider configuration, go into the "My Site settings" page 7.Set "Personal site provider" to "http://OrgsIntranet/mysite/" and "Location" to "personal", click OK. Configuration
