Configuring Sharepoint 2010 Part 3

Posted in: Blog, SharePoint 2010 | Jan 10, 2013 at 8:59 PM

I’ve just deleted my SP 2010 VM and re-created it. This time I won’t choose the wizard but instead I’ll try to configure each service manually.

As before, after the SP 2010 was completed, Central Admin page first opened with the selection of either use the wizard or configuring the service manually. I then chose the second one.

At this point, the only services activated were:

– Central Administration

– Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Incoming Email

– Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Web Application

– Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service

I will now attempt to activate each service starting from the very top.

What I found as a major difference between SP 2010 and SP 2007 is the Service Applications. In MOSS 2007 you have Shared Services Provider but now it’s replaced with Service Applications in 2010.

Unlike Shared Services Provider, in Service Applications you have to create the service manually one-by-one. In SSP, as soon as you open the administration page, you can straight away see User Profiles, Search, Excel, Audience and BDC headers but in Service Applications you have to create each of these services manually.

Once I was done with these services, I could finally create the web application and root site collection.

I’ll keep continuing my investigation.

Cheers,

Tommy
