In the previous post, we have built our server farm, it is time to install SharePoint itself.  As in my other walkthroughs for this, we are going to utilize AutoSPInstaller.  The process is very similar to the one I illustrated in my series earlier, but this time we are building a full MinRole environment.  In this post, we’ll walk through the process of building out the SP2019 template for the farm.

Now that the Domain Controller along with Active Directory and DNS is implemented we can move on to the SharePoint servers.  As I had stated before, this environment will be a full MinRole farm.  It won’t be a high availability farm, though I will likely build that out in a future set of posts.  The SharePoint component of this environment will consist of a single web front end, application server, search server, and distributed cache server.  In this post, we will prepare the servers before creating the configuration file for SharePoint 2019.

Deploying a SharePoint 2019 Development Environment – Install SharePoint 2019 with AutoSPInstaller

We come to the fourth and final post in my series on deploying a SharePoint 2019 Development Environment.  In this post, we will install SharePoint 2019 with AutoSPInstaller.  AutoSPInstaller is a great tool that allows you to set all the configuration of your environment from an easy to use GUI.  It then exports your settings as a config file for a batch process that will install and configure your entire SharePoint environment from installing the binaries to configuring your site collections.  It’s a far cry from sitting at an install screen waiting for everything to finish and then having to configure it again for the next server.  Setting up the config file may take some time, but it will benefit in the end because it will install all of your servers for you.

Pushing SharePoint Content Databases Beyond 200GB

Over a year ago, I wrote about SharePoint’s storage limits and threshold, why they are there and and can they be exceeded.  I had started to illustrate how the content databases could be exceeded and to what extent, but I really never got to do some more in depth tests.  I had promised to come back one day and perform more tests and to show if pushing SharePoint content databases beyond 200GB is possible in your environment.

Finding a Needle in a Haystack: SharePoint Style

Presentations
Configuration, Configuration (SP 2016), SharePoint, SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016 , , , 0

This past week a friend of mine, Joanne Klein (@JoanneCKlein – https://joannecklein.com/) and I travelled nearly 2000km to take part in what we fondly called our Alberta Tour.  We travelled to Edmonton and spoke to the Edmonton Microsoft User Group and the next evening to the Calgary SharePoint Office365 User Group.

Joanne and I spoke on different ways to make SharePoint Search better:

Finding a Needle in the Haystack: SharePoint Style

So you have this shiny new SharePoint environment built inside your enterprise. You have added tons of content and have lots of users adding, modifying and deleting content all the time. You’ve got your system purring like a kitten and everyone loves it except for one minor detail. Your users can’t find any of the content they are looking for. Search is just not working for them. If they don’t know exactly where to find a file they need to reference or work on, they are spending their precious time looking for it. Join us in this session where we will show you the great search tools SharePoint gives you OOTB.

Along the way we’ll show you some tips, tricks and techniques to make a user’s experience better. From search refiners to display templates, from managed properties to OOTB Web Parts we will show you how to customize your search to make it easier to use and to truly make your search so powerful your users won’t have any trouble finding their “needles in the haystack” – their content.

 

As promised to the attendees, here is the slide deck for our presentation.
