Sharepoint 2010 install tutorial w/SQL (Pt.2)

Installing SharePoint on Windows Server 2008 R2

Now you should be ready to install Sharepoint.   


Setup the Sharepoint server just like you did for SQL Server by adding the same roles in your server manager.  Add the required features if prompted.

To install Sharepoint Server 2010 you need to install the following prerequisites:

·         Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) -KB974405

·         Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 (X64)

·         Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client

·         Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0

·         Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

·         Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB976394)

·         Windows Powershell v2

·         Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

Add the sqlSvcAcc account to the administrators group on the server where you want to install SharePoint:

Before you can install Sharepoint you need to go into Local Group Policy Editor and change "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" from Enabled to Disabled.  This setting enabled prevents the Sharepoint Server from communicating to the SQL Server.  The path is: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Install SharePoint 2010 using a complete server farm installation

If the installation wizard has finished create a new server farm:

Now you need to use the SharePoint 2010 Farm Account (spFarmAcc):

In the Database server put in the name of the server that is hosting the database.

After clicking "Next" you come to the passphrase section.

Create a Passphrase.  This is for authentication purposes if new servers want to join the farm.  For our environment there will more than likely be no additional servers added so make it whatever you wish.

Configure Sharepoint to use a specific port and Security Settings:

Here you can specify a specific port to use or just keep it unchecked and use the default setting.  For Security settings keep the default "NTLM" selected and click "Next".

Select next at the next page and it should take you to "Configuring SharePoint Products" page.

Complete the configuration and Central Administration will open:
