Installing Windows Server 2008 R2

This chapter assumes installation of SharePoint on the latest version of Windows Server, the 2008 R2 version. Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 is extremely straightforward and takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. Microsoft has built the installation process to be nearly touch-free. Simply accept the defaults for any SharePoint server—there is no need to choose any custom installation settings. The high-level steps involved are as follows:

• Install Windows Server 2008 R2 with the defaults.

• Activate the server.

• Install any server-specific tools required.

• Patch and update the operating system.

• Add the server to an Active Directory domain.

• Copy the SharePoint 2010 binaries local to the server (recommended).

• Copy the SQL Server 2008 R2 binaries local (if installing the database role).
