Installing SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 - Part 9: SharePoint Server 2010 configuration

11

This article describes the configuration of SharePoint Server 2010 and is a part of a series describing the complete installation of SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2. Please have a look at

There you can find an overview of the complete series and of course the farm topology and the deployment scenario.

Diagnostic logging

Configure diagnostic logging because writing event log files can reduce performance. If you need best practices for configuring diagnostic logging check out reference [2] at the bottom of the article.

Go to Monitoring in the left menu. Configure best practices using reference 2 at the bottom of the page.

Configure usage and health data collection

Next it is necessary to configure usage and health data collection because it will be configured automatically if you create a search service application where you can’t rename the database.

Go to monitoring. Select configure usage and health data collection and configure it.

After configuration is complete a new service application is created.

Outgoing e-mail

Next you can specify a mail server to send alerts, invitations or notifications.

Go to system settings. Configure outgoing e-mail settings.

Summary

Configuring the 3 things above isn’t that difficult. The remaining services are a little more advanced and right now I don’t have the insights to describe detailed configuration steps. I will describe it later…

But I try...
