2 Install SharePoint Server 2007

1. Overview

We are going to setup a SharePoint Server 2007 development environment containing two servers:

SharePoint ServerDatabase Server

W2K8R2-03192.168.1.3

Active Directory

W2K8R2-02192.168.1.2

We don’t deploy a single server with the built-in database. Instead we are using SQL Server 2008 R2

so this deployment can be scaled out to create two- and three-tier farm topologies if necessary1.

This guide shows you how to create a closed environment with an Active Directory on a separate

box. If you already have an Active Directory you can use the existing one for your installation.

Updates or additional download for this tutorial are documented here:

3 Overview

1.1. Hardware requirements

Hardware requirements are depending on the type of server you are going to setup.

For a standalone installation it is recommended2 to use at least the following hardware:

Component Minimum requirement

Processor 2.5 Ghz

RAM 1 GB

Hard disk 3 GB free space

For a server farm with application and front-end web servers it is recommended to use at least the

following hardware:


Processor 2.5 Ghz

RAM 2 GB

Hard disk 3 GB free space

These numbers are dated October 2010 and might change.

The given numbers are really low so I suggest using minimum the following hardware specification

for a development environment:


Processor 64-bit, two cores

RAM 8 GB

Hard disk 1st: 256 GB SSD 2nd: 512 GB Data

If you are using a laptop you can use the first hard disk for your operating system and the second one

as data storage. If you are not using a laptop you can of course use a better processor and more RAM

since weight doesn’t matter.

1.2. Software requirements

Software requirements are depending on the type of server you are going to setup3.

Database server

In order to deploy SharePoint Server 2007 with SQL Server you need one of the following:

SQL Server 2000,

SQL Server 2005,

SQL Server 2008 or

SQL Server 2008 R2.

The Windows Server requirements of the described products also apply.

Web servers and application servers in a SharePoint farm

In order to deploy SharePoint Server 2007 you need one of the following operating system:

Windows Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web Edition,

Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, Data Center, Web Server or

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, Data Center, Web Server.

Note: Although the different editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are not

directly listed in the mentioned reference it should work.

Detailed software requirements as well as updates are discussed in the according chapter later.




5 Windows Server 2008 R2

2. Windows Server 2008 R2

If you have an existing Windows Server 2008 R2 installation you can skip to step 2.2.

2.1. Installation

The installation is straight forward and doesn’t require any detailed explanation. It is recommended

but not required to install the 64-bit edition.

1. Start the install wizard for Windows Server 2008 R2.

2. Choose either „Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (Full installation) x64“ or

„Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full installation) x64” and accept the license

agreement.

11 Windows Server 2008 R2 - Roles and features

3. Windows Server 2008 R2 - Roles and features

After installing Windows Server 2008 R2 you need to prepare your server depending on the required

role in your environment.

3.1. Active Directory

This part explains the installation of Active Directory in order to create an isolated virtual

development environment. If you have an existing Active Directory you can skip this step.

1. Click Start, Run and enter dcpromo to start the installation process.

2. Select Use advanced mode installation and click next.

3. Click next again to skip the operating system compatibility warning screen.

4. Select Create new domain in a new forest and click next.

5. Enter a full qualified domain name and click next.

Important

1. If you can access the internet from inside your image don’t use the domain name of a


website.

2. Don’t use a single-label domain name like mydomain, see

Information about configuring Windows for domains with single-label DNS names,

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300684

6. Accept the given NetBIOS name and click next.

7. Click next using the current forest functional level. Since this is an isolated virtual

environment we don’t need to care.

8. Do the same with the domain functional level.

9. Keep DNS server checked and click next.

10. If you have a network adapter with a dynamically assigned IP address you will get this

warning. Click yes as long as you have one network adapter with a static IP address.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300684


11. Click yes again.

12. Click next using default settings for the database, log files and sysvol.

13. Enter a restore mode administrator password and click next.

14. At the summary screen click next in order to start the installation process.

15. Reboot.

16. Use the server manager to check if things have been successfully installed.

17. You don’t need to do any configuration regarding the Active Directory. Necessary account

operations are described later.


3.2. Web Server (IIS) and Application Server

SharePoint 2007 requires the Web Server (IIS) role and Application Server role including .NET

Framework 3.5 SP1.

1. Open Server Manager, go to roles and click Add roles.

2. Check Application Server.

3. Add features required for Application Server.

4. Check Web Server (IIS).


5. Proceed to the role services selection and add the features you can see in the picture. If you

are prompted to add required role services and features click yes.

6. Proceed to the role services selection and add the following features.


7. Click install


3.3. Pop3, SMTP, Outlook

Since Windows Server 2008 the Pop3 server feature is deprecated. If you need mail you have to

install Exchange Server or something similar.


4. Administrative and service accounts

In order to install SharePoint 2007 there are 9 accounts which are most important.

4.1. Accounts

You need to create the following accounts in Active Directory:

Account type Account name (example)

SQL Server Service sqlSvcAcc

Setup Administrator setupAdmin

Farm Account spFarmAcc

SSP Admin Application Pool spSSPAdmAP

SSP MySite Application Pool spSSPMySiteAP

SSP Service spSSPSrv

WSS Search Service spWSSSearchSvc

WSS Search Content Access spWSSSearchCA

MOSS Search Service spMOSSSearchSvc

These accounts don’t have to be member of a certain group.

Make sure each account has the following

properties:

User cannot change password and

Password never expires.

19 Administrative and service accounts

4.2. Assign permission

You need to assign permission only to the SharePoint 2007 setup administrator setupAdmin.

4.2.1 SQL Server service account

You don’t 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 account.

4.2.2 Setup administrator

The setup administrator is used to install SharePoint 2007 and you need to manually assign

permissions.

1. The SharePoint 2007 setup administrator has to be a member of the administrators group on

every server SharePoint will be installed.

2. This configuration step is done after SQL Server is installed and is documented here for the

purpose of completeness.

The SharePoint 2007 setup administrator needs to have the securityadmin and dbcreator

role. The sysadmin role is assigned if you decide during SQL Server 2008 R2 installation that


your SharePoint 2007 setup administrator should also be the SQL Server Administrator.

4.2.3 Farm account

You don’t need to assign permissions since they are automatically assigned by the SharePoint 2007

setup administrator during installation and configuration.

The farm account is used:

1. for configuration and management of the server farm and

2. as an application pool account for Central Administration.

21 SQL Server 2008 R2

5. SQL Server 2008 R2

This chapter explains the installation and configuration of SQL Server 2008 R2.

5.1. Software requirements5

You need to meet at least the following requirements if you want to install SharePoint Server 2007

without the built-in database:

SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4 (SP4)

SQL Server 2005 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

SQL Server 2008

SQL Server 2008 R2

Remarks

If you install SQL Server 2008 RTM on Windows Server 2008 R2 you need to apply SP1 for

SQL Server 2008 after installation. So you can continue installing SQL Server 2008 if you see

the following picture:





5.2. Installation

The installation of SQL Server 2008 compared to SQL Server 2008 R2 is almost the same and

described below. If you get a compatibility warning while trying to install SQL Server 2008 on

Windows Server 2008 R2 you can proceed with install. Before running SQL Server you need to apply

Service Pack 1.

1. Install .NET Framework if required.

2. Start a new installation, accept the license agreement and install setup support files.

3. Select SQL Server Feature Installation and click next.


4. Select Database Engine Services and Management Tools - Basic and click next. Depending

on the things you do with SharePoint you might need additional features enabled.

5. Create a default instance.

6. Add the newly created sqlSvcAcc as the service account.


7. Keep the collation settings.

8. Add the setup administrator a SQL Server administrator if you have an isolated Hyper-V

environment.

9. Click next and finish the installation of SQL Server 2008 R2.


5.3. Configuration

There are two configuration steps you need to do: assign permission to the SharePoint 2007 setup

administrator and configure networking.

5.3.1 Assign permission

The SharePoint 2007 setup administrator needs to have at the following roles:

dbcreator

securityadmin

The following role is assigned if you decide during SQL Server 2008 R2 installation that your

SharePoint 2007 setup administrator should be a SQL Server administrator:

sysadmin

Important: If you are not logged on with the setup administrator please logon using setupAdmin.

Otherwise you might not be able to change settings if you don’t have the sysadmin role assigned.


5.3.2 Configure networking

At the end you need to enable named pipes and restart your computer.

Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration

Manager

27 SharePoint Server 2007

6. SharePoint Server 2007

This chapter explains the installation and configuration of SharePoint Server 2007.

Important: If you are not logged on with the setup administrator please logon using the above

created account (setupAdmin).

6.1. Prerequisites

Depending on the version of Windows Server and SQL Server you need to pick a different version of

SharePoint Server 20076:

You need at least Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 if you have the following editions:

o SQL Server 2000

o SQL Server 2005

o Windows Server 2003

You need at least Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with SP1 if you have the following

editions:

o SQL Server 2008

o Windows Server 2008

You need at least Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with SP2 if you have the following

editions:

o SQL Server 2008 R2

o Windows Server 2008 R2

Note: You need a slipstreamed version. Installing SP2 after installing MOSS 2007 on Windows Server

2008 R2 doesn’t work.

Anyway it is recommended to use the latest service pack.





6.2. Installation

The installation itself requires only few steps to be completed.

1. Enter the product key, accept the license agreement and click Advanced.

2. Select a complete installation.

3. Wait until the installation has finished and run the products configuration wizard.


4. Create a new server farm.

5. Enter the server name of your SQL Server and add the farm account and its credentials.


6. Specify a different port number if required.

7. Finish the configuration wizard.

8. After successfully installing SharePoint 2007 the configuration wizard is closed and the

Central Administration automatically opens with the following screen.


6.3. Configuration

After the installation of SharePoint 2007 is completed the following settings should be configured.

6.3.1 Services

At the beginning you have to start three services.

1. Start the ‘Windows SharePoint Search Service’ and enter the service account

spWSSSearchSvc and the content access account spWSSSearchCA.

2. After that start the ‘Office SharePoint Server Search’ and enter the service account

spMOSSSearchSvc. Please select Use this server for indexing content and Use this server for


serving search queries. Otherwise the configuration is not complete.

3. Now you can start the Excel Calculation Services (or not). You are finished with the services.


6.3.2 Shared Service Provider

Go to Shared Services Administration and create a new Share Services Provider (SSP).

You need to create two web applications for the SSP Administration site and the My Site as well as

specifying other properties.

1. Create the web application for SSP Administration site using the account spSSPAdmAP as

the application pool account.


2. Create the web application for My Site using the account spSSPMySiteAP as the

application pool account.

3. After creating both web applications you should be back creating the SSP.

4. Provide the SSP service account spSSPSvc.

5. Click ‘Ok’ to start the creation of the SSP.

6. The configuration of the Shared Service Provider is finished.
