So now that our domain is built, servers are configured and SharePoint 2019 template is installed, we need to prep the servers that will be running SharePoint for the installation. We have done most of the work already, but some steps need to be done for the install to go smoothly. In this post, I’ll show you how to finish prepping the servers to effect an easy install which we will accomplish in the next post. I am going to do as much of this with PowerShell in because we will be doing this on multiple servers. PowerShell scripts are the easiest for ensuring correct, repeatable steps.
