Chapter 2 ■ New Installation and ConfigurationIf that scenario does not scare you away, or does not apply, then consider the following list of limitations specificto the stand-alone installation:• No Domain Controller: The stand-alone installation will fail if you attempt to install it on adomain controller.• Installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Express: The installer will install a new instance ofSQL Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 Express Edition, regardless of whether you have aninstallation of full SQL Server on the same server. Express has a limit of 4GB storage, causinga major headache for the IT team later when the stand-alone install of <strong>SharePoint</strong> generatesincreased user adoption.• Inability to scale: The stand-alone installation does not allow the integration of additionalWFE servers or query/index servers to scale the farm. Essentially, a stand-alone installationtells <strong>SharePoint</strong> that the one single server is the farm in its entirety and that the administratoris fine with not scaling out later.• Use of Network Service and Local System accounts: Microsoft designed the stand-aloneinstall as a simple option, leaving the user with few complications in setup. The decisionssimplified include those surrounding security and managed accounts (more on managedaccounts later in this chapter). The stand-alone install will leverage the built-in NetworkService and Local System accounts to configure <strong>SharePoint</strong> services—including the<strong>SharePoint</strong> timer service. These accounts share across the server, and service packs and otherproduct installs may affect the volatility of their configuration and system-level passwords,rendering the <strong>SharePoint</strong> installation susceptible to problems.• Selective Services: The stand-alone installation does not allow installation of all serviceapplications, such as the User <strong>Pro</strong>file Synchronization Service.After considering these facts, if you still wish to continue with the stand-alone installation, click that option onthe dialog as in Figure 2-3. From here on the install is very much hands-off and concludes with Internet Exploreropening to Central <strong>Administration</strong> having created default service applications, a default web application, and sitecollection.Server Farm InstallationIf you are reading this far, then you have probably decided to pass on the stand-alone install—the stand-alone installis fine for testing and development purposes but not recommended for scalable production uses of <strong>SharePoint</strong>. Clickthe server farm installation option on the dialog (shown in Figure 2-3) and we shall walk through the steps.After choosing the server farm installation option, the setup application begins installation and shows progressas in Figure 2-4.www.it-ebooks.info25
