Installing SharePoint Server 2016

Abstract

In this chapter, we will learn the necessary steps for installation and configuration, from Active Directory, SQL Server, and finally to SharePoint Server 2016. We will also review basic Service Application, Web Application, and Site Collection deployment and configuration. This chapter will provide you with the knowledge to walk through each component using PowerShell as the primary deployment and configuration scripting language. Once you are finished with this chapter, you will have a fully functional, highly available SharePoint Server 2016 MinRole farm. In this chapter, some of the configurations outlined are Microsoft requirements while others are recommendations from Microsoft and the author.
