SharePoint Environments

SP Dev Machine

Napa Visual Studio Single Machine Environment Two Machine Environment

Always Virtualize

• Virtual Box
• VMWare Workstation or server based

products

• HyperV
• Cloud based solutions

 Azure, Amazon, others.

Host Machine

Unacceptable

• 8GB or 12GB

RAM Barely Acceptable

• 16 GB RAM

Acceptable

• 24GB RAM

Nice to have

• 32GB RAM

YAY!

• 64GB or

above

• Get an SSD
• Lots of RAM can compensate for SSD, but seriously get an SSD



And get an SSD >= 256G if you can.

Virtual Machine

• Provision a VM with a 120G Not - preallocated HDD
• Two network cards
• Put the page file on a separate drive backed by a physical SSD



If your budget and hardware permits

• Install Windows 2008R2 or Windows Server 2012



Sorry, Win7 or Win8 or Win Vista cannot work with SharePoint 2013, but you can use Hyper-V on Windows 8.

Steps to create a Dev VM

1. Setup the domain controller 2. Turn machine into a desktop like machine 3. Install Visual Studio 2012 and SharePoint dev tools 4. Install SQL Server 5. Install Office 2013 client 6. Install a couple of browsers 7. Install all your other tools, fiddler and notepad++ 8. Install SharePoint 9. Create a service account (sp_admin), give it the necessary rights. 10. Run the SP Configuration Wizard, specify sp_admin 11. SP configuration wizard launches the farm configuration wizard – go through the wizard. 12. Create site collection. 13. SharePoint is setup! 14. Setup Apps 15. Setup Workflow

Setting up Apps

http://ws-05dfb3eee4cffa.apps.ws.int

CNAME record

This will cause all requests to *.apps.ws.int to go to sp.ws.int

VM Second Network Card

Other App related settings

• Managed Services
• Services
• And setting up the App Catalog and App Domain in central admin
• Disable the loop back check (some registry settings)
• All this can be done using PowerShell, I will cover this setup in further

depth when I talk about Apps.

$sa = Get-SPServiceApplication | where-object { $_.displayname -eq "App Management Service" } $subsservice = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $sa.ApplicationPool - Name "Subscription Settings Service" -DatabaseName "SubscriptionsDB" New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $subsservice Get-SPServiceInstance | Where-Object { $_.typename -eq "App Management Service" } | Start- SPServiceInstance Get-SPServiceInstance | Where-Object { $_.typename -eq "Subscription Settings Service" } | Start- SPServiceInstance Set-SPAppDomain -appdomain "apps.ws.int" Set-SPAppSiteSubscriptionName -Name "ws" -Confirm:$false

Setting up Workflows

• Install Workflow Manager

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252092

• And go through the setup steps
• Step #1 – Install it

Setting up Workflows

• Step #2: Configure it,
• Step #3, Associate it with a site

Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://sp/Sites/wfs" – WorkflowHostUri "http://sp:12291" –AllowOAuthHttp

Steps to create a Dev VM – The second machine

1. Setup the domain controller 2. Turn machine into a desktop like machine 3. Install Visual Studio 2012 and SharePoint dev tools 4. Install SQL Server 5. Install Office 2013 client 6. Install a couple of browsers 7. Install all your other tools, fiddler and notepad++ 8. Install SharePoint 9. Create a service account (sp_admin), give it the necessary rights. 10. Run the SP Configuration Wizard, specify sp_admin 11. SP configuration wizard launches the farm configuration wizard – go through the wizard. 12. Create site collection. 13. SharePoint is setup! 14. Setup Apps 15. Setup Workflow 16. Setup Office Web Apps on the Second Server
