SQL Installation

the administrative and service accounts that you need for an initial SharePoint Server deployment. Additional accounts and permissions are required to fully implement all aspects of a production farm. Here we created a service account in Active Directory as sharepoint with username of spsa.

Before SQL installation, the server must be joining to the Domain. Login with share point service account with administrative privilege.

1.       Install SQL 2019 Express

2.       Install SQL Management Studio 2019

3.       Configure the roles for the share point service account with DB creation, public, sysadmin and security admin privilege.

SQL 2019, we configured as mixed mode,

We have added the above serve roles to cmc\administrator, cmc\spsa and local administrator, for the SQL account 

 

SharePoint installation

 You can install and configure SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019 on a single server if you are hosting only a few sites for a limited number of users or if you want to create a trial or development environment. This configuration is also useful if you want to configure a farm to meet your needs first, and then add servers to the farm at a later stage.

Run the Microsoft SharePoint Products Preparation Tool

Before running the SharePoint setup.exe, make sure all the prerequisite installed on the server. For that run prerequisite.exe, 

Run Setup

Once all required prerequisites have been installed. After that restart the server.

double click setup.exe,

To run Setup

1.      Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is the farm administrator user account. For information about the farm administrator user account, see Initial deployment administrative and service accounts in SharePoint Server.

2.      On the SharePoint Server Start page, click Install SharePoint Server.

3.      On the Enter Your Product Key page, enter your product key, and then click Continue.

4.      On the Read the Microsoft Software License Terms page, review the terms, select the I accept the terms of this agreement check box, and then click Continue.

5.      Optional: To install SharePoint Server at a custom location, or to store search index files at a custom location, click the File Location tab, and then either type the custom location or click Browse to find the custom location. 

6.      Click Install Now.

7.      When Setup finishes, a dialog prompts you to complete the configuration of your server. Ensure that the Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard now check box is selected.

8.      Click Close to start the configuration wizard

Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard

Use the following procedure to install and configure the configuration database and the content database, and to install the SharePoint Central Administration website.

To run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard

1.      Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is the farm administrator user account. Here we use cmc\spsa

2.      If you have closed the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, you can access it by clicking Start, point to All Apps, click Microsoft SharePoint Products, and then click SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. If the User Account Control dialog appears, click Continue.

3.      On the Welcome to SharePoint Products page, click Next.

4.      In the dialog that notifies you that some services might have to be restarted during configuration, click Yes.

5.      click Create a new server farm, and then click Next.

6.      On the Specify Configuration Database Settings page, do the following:

7.      In the Database server box, type the name of the computer that is running SQL Server.

8.      In the Database name box, type a name for your configuration database or use the default database name. The default name is SharePoint_Config.

9.      In the Username box, type the user name of the farm administrator service account. Ensure that you type the user name in the format DOMAIN\username.

Security note: The farm administrator service account is used to access your configuration database. It also acts as the application pool identity account for the SharePoint Central Administration application pool, and it is the account under which the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service runs. The SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard adds this account to the SQL Server Login accounts, the SQL Server dbcreator server role, and the SQL Server securityadmin server role. The user account that you specify as the farm administrator service account has to be a domain user account. However, it does not have to be a member of any specific security group on your SharePoint servers or your database servers. We recommend that you follow the principle of least-privilege and specify a user account that is not a member of the Administrators group on your SharePoint servers or your database servers.

10.  In the Password box, type the user password.

11.  Click Next.

12.  On the Specify Farm Security Settings page, type a passphrase, and then click Next.

Although a passphrase resembles a password, it is usually longer to improve security. It is used to encrypt credentials of accounts that are registered in SharePoint Server. For example, the SharePoint Server server farm administrator service account that you provide when you run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. Ensure that you remember the passphrase, because you must use it every time that you add a server to the farm.

13.      On the Specify Server Role page, choose the appropriate role, click Next

10.   14. On the Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application page, do the following:

·         Either select the Specify port number check box and type the port number that you want the SharePoint Central Administration web application to use, or leave the Specify port number check box cleared if you want to use the default port number.

·         Click either NTLM or Negotiate (Kerberos).

15.  Click Next.

16.  On the Completing the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard page, review your configuration settings to verify that they are correct, and then click Next

  

17. On the Configuration Successful page, click Finish. When the wizard closes, setup opens the web browser and connects to Central Administration.

It involves ten configuration tasks, including such things as creation of configuration database, registration of SharePoint features, provisioning of SharePoint CA web application and so on. As soon as the process completes, we will see the Configuration Successful window and click Finish to complete the process:

Run the Farm Configuration Wizard 

You have now completed setup and the initial configuration of SharePoint Server. You have created the SharePoint Central Administration web site. You can now configure your farm and sites, and you can select services by using the Farm Configuration Wizard.

To run the Farm Configuration Wizard 

After you click Finish, Setup Manager opens the CA page for you, presenting you with the “Help us improve SharePoint and OneDrive” pop up prompt (something we used to know as Customer Experience Improvement Program or CEIP) : 

1. On the Configure your SharePoint farm page, next to Yes, walk me through the configuration of my farm using this wizard, click Start the Wizard.

2.    On the Service Applications and Services page, in the Service Account section, click the service account option that you want to use to configure your services.

6.    Optional: In the Description box, type a description of what the site contains.

8.    In the Template Selection section, in the Select a template list, select the template that you want to use for the top-level site in the site collection.
