• SQL Server Data Tools for VS.Net 2012

Several Downloads and Installs Several PowerShell Scripts Sequence is important Ensure appropriate configuration parameters Complete baseline install and configuration Start Development

Uncover several security and further configuration requirements

• Outcome– Inefficiencies in starting effective development

My Wish List For Install and Configuration

• Unified Installation Solution (Patches/Roles)

• Centralized and Remote Farm Installation

• Central Administration based Roles Configuration

My Wish list for Developers

• Universal Development Tools Installer

• Centralized Configuration Assistance

• Better ULS/IIS Log/Debug Review Panel

• Early documentation release

• Clarity with better examples

True Farm Installation Wizard

• Targeted to Server Roles

– Hence mandatory services are selected for you per server role

– Service Account prompt based standardized least security guidance

– Key Feature Search Topology is only PowerShell driven.

– SP 2003/2007 supported topology configuration over browser

Now I am Too Greedy!!!!

• MS preaches do less custom in SP 2013 and stay OOTB

• Lack True Global Navigation OOTB

• Lack OOTB Consistent Breadcrumb across CA and Site Templates

• SP 2010 Hierarchical Nav control is hidden in SP 2013
