Lab: Installing SharePoint 2010
Scenario You have been asked to deploy a SharePoint farm to support Contoso’s strategic initiatives related to enterprise collaboration. This single-server farm will act as a prototype, and executives, developers, and end users will use it to evaluate the new features of SharePoint Server 2010.

Exercise 1: Creating Active Directory Accounts for SharePoint Although you are creating a prototype environment, you must adhere to security best practices, including least privilege. In this exercise, you create accounts for SharePoint administration, services, and access to SQL Server.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Create Active Directory accounts.
2. Create a SQL login for the SharePoint administrator.
3. Delegate administration of the SharePoint server.
Task 1: Create Active Directory accounts 1. Log on to SP2010-WFE1 as CONTOSO\Administrator with the password
Pa$$w0rd.
2. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
3. Expand the contoso.com domain and then in the SharePoint OU, create the following user accounts. For each account, set the password to Pa$$w0rd, clear the User must change password at next logon check box, and select the Password never expires check box.
Task 2: Create a SQL Server login for the SharePoint administrator 1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to SP2010-WFE1 as
CONTOSO\SQL_Admin with the password of Pa$$w0rd.
2. Create a login for CONTOSO\SP_Admin.
3. Assign the login the dbcreator and securityadmin server roles.
4. Close the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Task 3: Delegate administration of the SharePoint server 1. Add CONTOSO\SP_Admin to the local Administrators group of SP2010-
WFE1.
2. Log off of SP2010-WFE1.
Results: After this exercise, you should have accounts for SharePoint administration, services, and database access, each of which has been delegated the least privilege permissions required to install and configure SharePoint.

Exercise 2: Installing SharePoint Server Prerequisites
Scenario You must install certain software components and perform specific configuration prior to installing SharePoint 2010. You use the Prerequisites Installer to ensure that the required elements are in place.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Attempt to install SharePoint Server prerequisites.
4. Script the installation of SharePoint Server prerequisites.
Task 1: Attempt to install SharePoint Server prerequisites 1. Log on to SP2010-WFE1 as CONTOSO\SP_Admin with the password
Pa$$w0rd.
2. Run D:\Software\SharePointServer2010\default.hta.
3. Click Install software prerequisites.
4. Step through the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool.
The prerequisite installer prepares the server.
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool displays the message, There was an error during installation. A summary of prerequisite installation status is also displayed.
2. Find the first instance of the text 976462. Observe the lines in the log file that indicate that the prerequisite installer checked for the existence of Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB976462).

3. Find the next instance of the text 976462. Observe the lines in the log file that indicate that the prerequisite installer attempted to download Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB976462) from microsoft.com. Observe the URL that was used.
You can use this URL to download the prerequisite manually. Click Cancel and then close the log file.
4. Close the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool and the SharePoint Server 2010 Start page.
Task 3: Copy SharePoint prerequisite installation files • Copy and paste all of the files from D:\Software\SharePoint Prerequisites to
Alternately, you can copy the contents of the file D:\Labfiles\Lab01 \PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.txt and paste it into your Notepad document.

5. Type the following commands, each followed by ENTER:
D: CD Software\SharePointServer2010 PrerequisiteInstaller.exe
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool appears.
In a production environment, you would also add the /unattended switch to the PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.txt file to specify a silent, unattended installation of SharePoint prerequisites. An unattended installation skips the Welcome page and the license agreement.
For this lab, however, you did not use the /unattended switch so that you may observe the progress of the prerequisite installer and ensure that there are no errors in your script.
6. Step through the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool. When installation has completed successfully, click Finish to close the tool.
Results: After this exercise, you should have installed and configured all SharePoint Server 2010 prerequisites.
