Install & upgrade localized SharePoint farm to SP2 - part 2
Body:
This article is sequel to Install & upgrade localized SharePoint farm to SP2 - part 1 article in which we prepared installation resources to most recent SP.
Application role
After you have prepared slipstreamed contents, we can proceed with installation. On application server start MOSS-2007-x64-with-SP2 installation and when it comes to configuration wizard choose:
- New farm,
- Connect it to SQL server with proper account or simply use domain admin account (not recommended),
- Wait for configuration to end,
- Start installation from folder WSS-30-x64-LP-with-SP2 and run configuration wizard after installation finishes,
- Start installation from folder MOSS-2007-x64-with-SP2 and run configuration wizard after installation finishes.
This concludes installation steps necessary for application role server and brings us to configuration. You need to start services and configure SharedService provider on this server before adding any new server to farm. So from central administration start following:
- Document Conversions Load Balancer Service,
- Document Conversions Launcher Service,
- Windows SharePoint Services Search,
- Office SharePoint Server Search,
- Excel Calculation Services.
And after that in Shared Services Administration create new SSP. General recommendation is to create two web applications inside SSP one for SSP site and other for Mysite.
Web Front-End role
On front end server start MOSS-2007-x64-with-SP2 installation and when it comes to configuration wizard choose
- Yes, I want to connect to an existing server farm,
- Specify SQL server name and click Retrieve Database Names,
- Provide same account you used while configuring Application role,
- Wait for configuration to end,
- Start installation from folder WSS-30-x64-LP-with-SP2 and run configuration wizard after installation finishes,
- Start installation from folder MOSS-2007-x64-with-SP2 and run configuration wizard after installation finishes.
That's all. Go to Central administration and verify Servers in farm with their version.
