Microsoft SharePoint

ABST​RACT

During the course of administrating SharePoint for 18 years and spending countless hours reading books, blogs, whitepapers, collaborating with others, and just pure trial and error I have decided to spare and share the challenges and resolutions.  The following are my SharePoint 201x Install Infrastructure notes and guidelines for almost everything I could think of for a successful SharePoint Enterprise farm environment.
 
I did my best to show the full syntax and real world examples when using PowerShell and other steps such as using the mmc and didn't assume you know it all, because my first time implementing these services I certainly didn't.  There are many components I have likely left out, however I will continue to add and modify documentation to make it as reliable an accurate as I can to help make your deployment successful. These steps include the install for Microsoft SharePoint 201x Enterprise, PowerPivot, Office Apps, and other important services.
 
I cover how to best implement backup schedules from my trial and error, how to implement AD Group Policy to the servers, setup SQL Server, SQL and client alias's, SQL maintenance, the SharePoint install itself, Office Apps, PowerPivot, backup, and much more!
 
I hope this install guide simplifies your SharePoint install experience and please leave feedback and enjoy!
