  1. SharePoint Server Architecture and Deployment Michael Curry

  2. Outline • Architecture of SharePoint • AD/DNS • Exchange • SQL • SP Server • Single server installation • Getting the software • Installation

  3. Adoption Considerations • Adopting SharePoint assumes running a Microsoft Server network • For a Linux/Mac shop, may be a bad choice • SharePoint increases collaboration but as a result requires more networking • Increase bandwidth, multiple providers? • Firewall to keep out intruders • Remote access • Mobile access (iPhone, Blackberry, laptops, etc.) • Outsourcing SharePoint may also an option

  4. SharePoint Architecture Exchange provides email, calendar, address books, etc. Active Directory provides user login, account self-service, Access permissions SharePoint requires an SQL database server Because there are multiple servers, running DNS is also necessary SharePoint requires a dedicated web server

  5. Single Server Deployment Great for learning, NOT recommended for production • Install Windows Server 2008 • Configure as web server • Add SMTP Service • Manage user accounts locally (or use Administrator) • Set-up outlook express • Install SQL Server 2008 • Install SharePoint 2007 • Install Office 2007

  6. Getting the Software • MSDN Academic Alliance • Free for all COB students • Get Server 2008 Enterprise • SQL Server 2008 Enterprise • Office 2007 • 180 day trial version of SharePoint • http://sharepoint.microsoft.com • SharePoint designer • Free at microsoft.com

  7. Installing Windows ServerWhat to Expect • All existing data on the machine will be lost • Before starting, make sure you have the correct drivers for your computer. Windows will attempt to install generic drivers, but important ones are: • Video card (so you can see what is going on) • Network adapter (so you can get to the internet) • Insert the DVD and reboot • If it does boot from DVD, change boot priority in your BIOS • Click next, next, next and (45 minutes later) finish • Install any necessary drivers • Configure as application server & SMTP • Step-by-step: http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-install-windows-server-2008-step-by-step.htm

  8. Installing SQL ServerWhat to Expect • Questions about features to install • Pick Database Engine & Client Tools only • Questions about security • Pick Mixed mode authentication • Questions about data location • Pick defaults • Everything else, take the defaults, hit next • Step-by-step: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143219.aspx • Screen shots: http://www.kodyaz.com/photos/microsoft_sql_server_2008_ctp_6_installation_screenshots/picture864.aspx

  9. Installing SharePointWhat to Expect • IIS (Web Server) has to be installed and running • If not, go back to configure server and add IIS • Follow the instructions (below) and you should be up and running in no time. • instructions: http://www.datasprings.com/Resources/ArticlesInformation/OverviewonInstallingSharepoint2007/tabid/774/language/en-US/Default.aspx • Video: http://wm.microsoft.com/ms/inetpub/matthester/moss2007.wmv
