collaboration platform developed by Microsoft for the enterprise and the

web.
> First launched in 2001, SharePoint integrates intranet, content
management and document management, but recent versions have
broader capabilities.
> Platform - ASP. Net
> Type of web sites we can built: Intranet, Internet and Extranet
> Framework

SP 2010 - Max supports .Net Framework 3.5 with SP1 (Even though you have
4.0)

> Authentication

Claims based

Claims-based identity can greatly simplify the authentication process for the user
because he or she doesn't have to sign in multiple times to multiple applications. A
single sign in creates the token which is then used to authenticate against multiple
applications, or web sites. Name & Value Pairs.

 Adding Desktop Experience Feature

It would be interesting for a development machine to be able to use the Windows Photo Viewer in order to check some screenshots taken during configuration
phases, or when wanting to report an issue. To be able to use this feature of Windows server 2008 R2 you have to activate the Desktop Experience feature.

Go back to the "Initial Configuration tasks" window and click "Add feature", then locate "Desktop Experience" check box and check it.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Installation

Installing the SharePoint Prerequisites
Double click the installation package to launch the installation of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010

The SharePoint 2010 installation Wizard is opened

Click the "Install Software Prerequisites" in order to update and complete
in Windows server 2008 R2. The Microsoft SharePoint Product and
technologies 2010 Preparation Tool is opening

Accept the licence agreement

The prerequisites are being installed

You should obtain this screen if you followed the operations previously described in this post.

Installing the SharePoint Files

Back to the SharePoint 2010 Installation wizard, click the "Install SharePoint Server" link. The
launched wizard requires the product key.

Then, accept the terms of the licence agreement.

Choose the complete installation/ Stand-alone ???

While SharePoint is being installed, notice that a 14 repository is now created where we had the
12 for the 2007 version.

The wpressources repository is created beside the 14.

When the installation of the SharePoint files is finished you are asked to continue with the
SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard.

Do not continue with the Wizard but cancel it otherwise you will have an issue due to the current installation described in this post.
In the SharePoint 2010 version, you are not allowed as before to mount a Farm installation on a single machine using local accounts.
If you had continued with the wizard you would have been stopped in the configuration by the following issue:
the specified user Administrator is a local account. Local accounts should only be used in stand alone mode

It is strongly recommended to create domain accounts and use them as service accounts.
You need to create at least the following accounts in Active Directory:

Basic Installation Accounts

Required Account

Example

SQL Server Service Account

sqlSvcAcc

SharePoint Setup Administrator

spAdmin

SharePoint Farm Account

SPS_FARM (Farm Administrator

Account)

SQL Server service account

You dont need to assign permissions since they are assigned during installation of SQL
Server 2008 R2.
The SQL Server service account is used to run SQL Server and should be a domain
Setup administrator
account.
You need to manually assign permissions.
The setup administrator is used to install SharePoint 2010.
The SharePoint 2010 setup administrator has to be a member of the administrators group
on every server SharePoint should be installed.
Farm account
You dont need to assign permissions since they are automatically assigned by the
SharePoint 2010 setup administrator
The farm account is used for the following things:
"Configure and manage the Entire SharePoint server farm."
"Act as the application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration Web
site."
"Run the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service."

The SharePoint 2010 setup administrator needs to have the

securityadmin and dbcreator role. The sysadmin role is assigned if you
decide during SQL Server 2008 installation that your SharePoint 2010

 Creating several service accounts

This is for the process of the IIS Application Pool of the central administration.
Assume we call it SPS_Farm

This will be used for the process of the IIS Application Pool ofthe first Web Application if it is isolated in its own
Application Pool. Assume we call the first Web Application WebApp-80 because it will use the 80 port, let us call this
account SPS_WebApp-80.
So let us create these two accounts and configuring them in order password never expires.

Using SharePoint 2010 Management Shell to create the SharePoint

2010Configuration databases

Type the following command

New-SPConfigurationDatabase
runthe command by pressing the Carriage Return Key

The Shell willl ask you for:

The database name --> choose any name, for example SharePoint_Config
The database Server name --> type the name of your Virtual Machine in my case VMDEV-012
You will be then prompt for the system account credential. It is now the time to pass the credential of the SPS_FARM service account. Don't forget the machine (domain)
name otherwise you will get an exception of the SharePoint shell.

Then you are asked for a passphrase. You can use P@ssw0rd that matches
the security policies required.
(This passphrase will be asked when you will add a new server to the
SharePoint Farm)

At this step of the installation you can check that two operations has been performed behind
the scene.
Two databases has been created in the database server referenced in the shell window.

web services has been created in IIS with 3 distinct application pools for each. That is a new
feature of SharePoint 2010.

Running the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard

This time you can open the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard.

Let the option "Do not disconnect from this server farm" checked.

Then you will be prompted to chose the Central Administration Site port number. I personally always use 55555 for the
configuration of all my development environments in order to type the same Url on all my Virtual Machines.
Let the default NTLM value for the "Authentication provider", Kerberos requires network configuration we cannot perform
in the current environment anyway.

The wizard, then, summarize your choices.

Then the 9 main configuration operations are performed.

Finally, the "configuration Successful" dialog summarizes your configuration again and informs you that the central
Administration of SharePoint 2010 will be launched when you close it.
When you click "Finish" to close the wizard, the Central Administration Site is opening, and you are prompted for
credentials

Then you are asked to sign up to User Experience Improvement Program.

Another page let you choose between configuring your farm yourself or by using a wizard. ????

When this choice is made, you display for the first time the brand new Welcome Page of
SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.

As there is sometimes concern with the SharePoint Services installation with Windows 2008 Server R2, you should
check that the services installation has completed successfully.
On SharePoint 2010 Central Administration Home Page under the System Settings section click Manage services on
server.

You should see this screen that confirms that SharePoint Services installation has completed
successfully.

Creating a managed local account for SharePoint 2010

Now we have to perform operations in order the previously created local account SPS_WebApp-80 be referenced as a managed account by SharePoint 2010.
So reopen the SharePoint 2010 shell windows and type the following:
$myWebAppServiceAccount = Get-Credential VMDEV-012\SPS_WebApp-80
You will be prompt for this account credentials:

Then, type the following

New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $myWebAppServiceAccount
The SharePoint 2010 Managemant Shell warns you that the managed account should be use in stand alone environement since it is a local account.

> Creating your first Web Application for SharePoint 2010

On the default page of the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, click the "Manage Web
Application" link in the "Application Management" section

I have personally chosen to create it on the default IIS web site, and as a personal usage
named it "Web App - 80"
let the Application pool default settings
named the content database "WSS_Content_WebAppp-80"

You notice then that you have the previously service account available as a SharePoint 2010
managed account to be the account under the which the process of the new Application Pool
will run .

and finally that the SharePoint 2010 Web Application is created.

Click "OK" to close the wizard and to be taken back to the Web Application Management
Pagewhere you can see the new SharePoint 2010 Web Application.

Now, if we go to check what have been done behind the scene in ISS we will notice that we can
retrieve a trace for our SharePoint 2010 managed local accounts

And the same in the Services of our machine:

Last, if now you use the SPS_FARM SharePoint 2010 managed local account to sign in to the
Central Administration:

You will notice that you are not connected as SPS_Farm, but as System Account.

This account is a Farm administraor account used ONLY to administrate the Farm using the Central Administration Web site.
As it is not a local administrator of the server it cannot be used to run the SharePoint 2010 Configurqtion wizard, neither the
obsolete stsadm or psconfig tools, nor the SharePoint 2010 management shell. And there are operations that are no more
available from the central administration web site when you are logged in with this account, as "Manage Services on Server"

Creating your first Site Collection for SharePoint 2010

From the Central Administration Home Page, click on "Create site collections" in order to
proceed to the creation of your first SharePoint 2010 Site Collection

Then, click the "Create site collections" link under the "Site Collections" section. You are taken
to the "Create Site Collection" page.
I have personally chosen to create a team site called "SharePoint 2010" team site"

When launching the creation, youare prompted the changes are processed

then prompted on that the site was created successfully.

When clicking on this site link, you can display your first SharePoint 2010 site.
