Four stages to a good install
• Prerequisite Installer (prerequisiteinstaller.exe)• Don’t forget the forgotten Prereqs• http://www.toddklindt.com/sp2013forgottenprereqs
• Installing the bits (setup.exe)• If you have any hot fixes, service packs, or language packs
now is the time to install them
• Configure the bits (grey wizard/PowerShell if you’re cool)• Farm Configuration (white wizard or
PowerShell/Central admin)
Prerequisite install
• Run prerequisiteinstaller.exe from the SharePoint DVD• Adds IIS and application server role to Windows and
configures them• Downloads and installs all necessary software• Can be manually downloaded and installed if no internet access
available. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx• Actually doesn’t work
• You can install from predownloaded location. Use /? To get syntax
•
• No matter what you should always run Prerequisite installer and get it to say successful before you run setup• If you have already installed everything manually it will skip
those steps
Forgotten Patches

is time to create the farm
Installing 2013 cheat sheets
• http://www.toddklindt.com/spc2012
• Video of Shane, not Todd doing an install• https://

• Drink!
Additional servers?
• Wait until first server is done• Run grey wizard on each server• Enter the passphrase• Finish the wizard• You can do servers 2 through N at the same time. They will
take turns adding themselves to the farm. No fear of deadlocks. Everybody shares like they were taught in Kindergarten.
Another thought on Search
• Search is heavy this time around• Pretty certain it was an only child• First piece you should pull out of the farm
Office Web Apps
• Read only is free for the world • Edit costs money• They MUST be installed on their own server• Hardware requirements aren’t awful
• Fabulous video• https://

Workflow Manager
• Can be installed on the same box as SharePoint• SharePoint 2010 workflows just work• SharePoint 2013 workflows take work
• Kind of fabulous video on installing Workflow manager• https://
