SharePoint Installation Process Part 1

I was surfing few website where i can get complete screen shots of SharePoint installation and at the same time fast search configuration also. Then i came across www.dotnetscraps.com where i’ve came across the installation and fast search configuration at a time. This complete work is done by Mr. Vivek. Thanks to Vivek(i am just exposing his Hard work to outer world)

The complete installation and fast search configuration is done in few steps as follows:

Ofcourse there are some pre requisite where we need to install before we install sharepoint 2010, like IIS etc.

Coming to SharePoint installation

Part1:

SQL Configuration:

Let us now step through the installation process of SQL Server 2008 R2.

1. Insert the SQL Server 2008 R2 installation disc. This will launch the SQL Server Installation Center.
2. Click Installation –> click New installation or add features to an existing installation
   
3. The setup runs the check and lists if the setup passes the required OS, Hardware and Software requirements
   
4. Enter the Product Key
5. Agree to the License Terms
6. Click Install to the Setup Support Files
7. The System Configuration Check returns with the failure points it has detected that you will need to address before the setup continues. I have couple of warnings i.e. the system has DC and Firewall is enabled. I am OK with it and we will continue. Check the bootstrap log  located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20100925_143310\SystemConfigurationCheck_Report.htm for more information.
   
8. Click Next.
9. We will select SQL Server Feature Installation –> click Next
   
10. Select the Features you wish to install. I will select everything by clicking on Select All –> click Next
    
11. Setup runs the Installation Rules –> click Next
    
12. I will install SQL using Default Instance and the Instance root directory will be default –> click Next
    
13. Setup checked the Disk Space Requirements –> click Next
    
14. I have an OU (Service Accounts) created in AD and created accounts such that I can remember them.
    
15. In the Server Configuration screen you can choose to run all SQL Services in different accounts or as Local System. I choose the run all of them under separate domain account. I have also left the Collation to default i.e. Latin1_General_CI_AI. Click Next
    
16. Under Database Engine Configuration, I choose to select Mixed Mode and added Administrator and SQL Admin domain account as the SQL Server administrators –> click NextNOTE: You will not be installing SQL Server with an account who is a domain admin, but you will be an Administrator or part of Administrators group on the local machine. Also the SQL Admin account is a domain user who will be an Administrator for SQL Server.
    
17. Under Analysis Services Configuration, I choose to add Administrator and SQL Admin –> click Next
