Installing the SharePoint Server Operating System

After the edition of the server OS has been chosen, it must be installed on the SharePoint server. As previously mentioned, this step by step assumes that a single all-in-one SharePoint server will be set up and deployed.

The Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system encompasses a myriad of new technologies and functionality, more than can be covered in this book. If additional reading on the capabilities of the operating system is wanted, the recommended reference is Windows Server 2008 R2 Edition Unleashed, from Sams Publishing.

Note

It is highly recommended to install SharePoint 2010 on a clean, freshly built operating system on a reformatted hard drive. If the server used for SharePoint were previously running in a different capacity, the most secure and robust solution would be to completely reinstall the operating system using the procedure outlined in this section.
