  1. DM300 Scripted Farm Install Ben Curry Sr. Instructor Mindsharp

  2. Agenda • Why use scripted installs? • Prerequisites • Use setup.exe to Install Binaries • Overview of config.xml • Use PSConfig.exe to provision Farm • Use stsadm.exe to build out Web apps and Shared Services • Fun with stsadm.exe!

  3. Why Use Scripted Installs? • Repeatable results for enterprise deployment • Rapid Deployment • Disaster Recovery • Just to be cool!

  4. My Farm Setup • SharePoint Server 2007 • SQL Server 2005 • SQL Client on App2 • Windows Server 2003 R2 WFE1 (query) WFE2 (query) APP2 Central Admin Index APP1 SQL Server

  5. Preparing For Installation • Add farm account to SQL Server with Security Administrator and DB Creator rights • Alternatively assign appropriate SQL permissions to pre-created databases • Run scripts as Installer/Farm account • Reporting Services requires farm admin/installer • Scaling to Query services is much easier • Need SQL Administrator rights during install • Installer account needs local admin during installation

  6. Create Scripts • Scripts will be available for free download at http://www.mindsharp.com (Premium Content) • Install on Index Server first • App2 In our Demo • Copy adsutil.vbs from inetpub\Adminscripts directory to install directory • Take your time, and don’t make it difficult • Test, test, test • Get ready to go!

  7. Lay Down the Bits • Don’t be afraid of the XML! • Config.xml files on the installation media • Standalone, Farm, Upgrade, Silent • Copy and edit • Setup.exe /config %location%\config.xml

  8. Config.xml • Detailed TechNet Reference • Must install sts • Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 • Must also install spswfe • SharePoint Server 2007 • Display Level should be none or basic • Basic for this demo so you can see what is going on • If none, wait for setup.exe to disappear from taskmgr.exe before continuing • SERVERROLE should be APPLICATION

  9. Examining Config.xml demo

  10. Create Farm Databases • Use sqlcmd.exe to create databases • In SQL Server program files\90\Tools\BINN • Secure with additional script if you do not want SharePoint accounts to be security administrator and DB Creator • Take your time editing the DB Create Script! • Copy and paste for additional databases • Collation MUST be Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS • Don’t ask me why, I don’t know

  11. Create Databases • CREATE DATABASE SharePoint_Config_Contoso • ON • ( • NAME = SharePoint_Config_Contoso_data, • FILENAME = 'c:\MSSQL\Data\SharePoint_Config_Contoso.mdf' • ) • LOG ON • ( • NAME = SharePoint_Config_Contoso_log, • FILENAME = 'c:\MSSQL\Log\SharePoint_Config_Contoso.ldf' • ) • COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS

  12. Installing the binaries and creating the databases demo

  13. Provision the Farm • Use PSConfig.exe • It’s in the ‘12 Hive’ • Detailed TechNet Command-line reference • Psconfig.exe –cmdconfigdb <options> • Uses pre-created configuration database • Attaches server to farm (configDB) • Provision Central Admin • Create Web application (psconfig.exe –cmdadminvs –provision <options>) • Uses pre-created Central Admin content database • Prevents database GUID naming convention

  14. Provision the Farm • psconfig.exe -cmdconfigdb -create -server app1 -database SharePoint_Config_Contoso -user contoso\mossfarm -password P@ssw0rd -admincontentdatabaseCentral_Admin_Content

  15. Creating the farm and provisioning Central Administration demo

  16. Start Farm Services and Build the Shared Services Provider • Use stsadm.exe to start farm services • –o osearch to start SharePoint Search • -o spsearch to start Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Search • Create My Site Provider • Use –o extendvsto create Web applications • Uses pre-created content databases • Create Shared Services Provider Web App • Uses pre-created content database

  17. Build supporting SSP Web applications, create the SSP, configure the SSP demo

  18. Create and Configure Portal • Create Web applications by using –o extendvs • Apply Collaboration Portal template (spsportal) • Add Host Headers • http://my and http://my.contoso.msft • http://portal and http://portal.contoso.msft • Allows access via either URL • MSDN ‘translate.js’

  19. Adding Host Headers • script.exe //nologo translate.js "Contoso Portal" > siteid.txt • for /f %%I in (siteid.txt) do SET SITEID=%%I • cscript.exe Adsutil.vbs set w3svc/%SITEID%/serverbindings ":80:portal.contoso.msft" ":80:portal" • Del siteid.txt
