Setting up SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 screenshots (Part 1)
I managed to setup SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 VM with SQL Server 2008 R2 Nov 09 CTP. SP2010 requires 64bit version of Windows Server and SQL Server . For the host I have an Intel C2Q machine on 4GB RAM running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V installed.
For the VM environment, I have:
- AD Domain Controller on Windows Server 2008 SP2 Server Core
- Another VM running Windows Server 2008 SP2 enrolled in the AD domain. I have PowerShell feature (for SQL Server), IIS Web Server role and Application Server role (both for SharePoint) setup after I enrolled the VM in AD.
For part 1 of this, I will show how I setup SQL Server 2008 R2. Even though it’s in CTP, setting the database server is no brainer.
Below are my screenshots of the whole process. For detailed explanations, you can follow Microsoft UK MCS’s blog here.
This is the system properties of the VM. Note that I allocated 2.5Gb RAM for this VM.
Put in the SQL Server 2008 R2 DVD and it asked me to setup prerequisites i.e. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and an update to Windows Installer.
Prerequisites installer starting up
Accept the EULA for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
.NET Framework installer running
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 setup successfully.
SQL Server 2008 R2 installer will starts automatically.
Click on the Installation tab on the left. Then choose ‘New installation or add feature to an existing installation.’
Installer to inspect system and determine all setup rules passed.Click OK here
The SQL Server 2008 R2 setup files starting up. Following experience will be very similar to setting up SQL Server 2008. Hope it doesn’t change in the final release
Select that I want the Enterprise Edition
Accept the EULA
Setup files copying themselves
Setup support rules are scanned again. I ignore the warning on opening up the SQL Server port at the firewall.
This is new for R2, being not 100% sure, I choose the first logical option
Then select the SQL Server features I want. I chose:
- Database engine with Full text search
- Reporting Services
- BI Development Studio (optional)
- Management Tools – Complete
Installation rules are scanned to make sure all requirements fulfilled
Determined my SQL instance (in case you have more than 1 already installed)
Determine I have enough hard disk space
Now is the choose the user account(s) to be used for the services. I create a sqlservices account in my domain and I want all services to use the same account. So I clicked on ‘use the same account for all SQL Server services’
Keying in the account credential
Next screen I have to decide on the authentication mode and add myself as a SQL Server administrator.
I am doing nothing for Reporting services so it’s option 3 (Install, but do not configure the reporting server) for me.
I don’t want to send error reports back to Microsoft.
Final check on configuration rules
Review your installation options
Installation started
Success!
Starting up the SQL Server Management Studio, similar to SQL Server 2008
Still using VS2008 for BI Development Studio. Hope they will upgrade to VS2010 later as SP2010 will also be using VS2010
Next port I will show the installation process of SharePoint Server 2010
