Set Account Permissions in SQL


Installed the PreRequisites (rebooted x2)


The Forgotten Patch


Ran SharePoint Server Setup


Uncheck the Box


Open the SharePoint Management Shell

•Run this and be sure to replace your SQL server name.

New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseName SharePoint_Config -DatabaseServer sql

-AdministrationContentDatabaseName SharePoint_Admin_Content


Enter Your Farm Account at the Popup


Back at the Prompt Enter Your Passphrase

Passphrase rules:Contains at least eight charactersContains at least three of the following four character groups:

English uppercase characters (from A through Z)English lowercase characters (from a through z)Numerals (from 0 through 9)

Nonalphabetic characters: “! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~


Now run the Configuration Wizard


Lets build!


Service App PowerShell

• New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service Application"

• Get-SPStateServiceApplication| New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -defaultproxygroup

• Get-SPStateServiceApplication| New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "State_Service_DB"

• Get-spdatabase | where-object {$_.type -eq "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.StateDatabase"} | initialize-spstateservicedatabase

• New-SPUsageApplication -Name "Usage and Health Data Collection"

• $proxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where {$_.TypeName -eq "Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy"}

• $proxy.Provision()


Install all of those other service apps

• Not really ALL, just the ones you need


Creating Search with PowerShell

•http://www.toddklindt.com/createsearch2013

•As much as I hate pointing to Todd’s blog stealing the script from there is your best bet.


Things to also consider

• Office Web Apps

• The App store

• Workflow server


Hardware considerations

•Can I squeeze this all into one box?– http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.15).aspx

– 24 GB of RAM for SharePoint Server for SQL and SharePoint

– 12 GB of RAM for just SharePoint Server

– 4 Cores
