However, in thespirit of good practice and in preparation for the day when you have to stand up a production SharePoint 2013 farm,I recommend getting in the habit of creating all of these accounts for configuration.■ ■Note To ensure smooth installation of the User Profile Synchronization Service, grant the farm account ReplicatingDirectory Changes permission in the domain.Configuring Your SharePoint FarmThe SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard (called the “White Wizard” in some circles, as opposed to the “GrayWizard,” which is the Products Configuration Wizard) walks the administrator through configuration of the farm. Aswith any wizard, SharePoint makes certain assumptions to guide you. If you are looking for a more hands-on tailoredconfiguration setup, then you must perform configuration manually. The wizard saves you most of the complicationsof manual configuration but makes default configuration decisions on your behalf.■ ■Note If you skip the Farm Configuration Wizard after completing the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, youmay execute it at any time from the bottom-right link of the main Central Administration home page.The first page of the Farm Configuration Wizard asks if you want to participate in a Customer ExperienceImprovement Program—a worthwhile exercise if you have not done this before. Skipping this dialog takes you to thepage with a wizard summary and the chance to cancel the wizard or begin the process, as shown in Figure 2-13.www.it-ebooks.info35
