I attempting to setup my new SP2010 development box to get some hands on experience in Administration, Configuration and development.
Here my setup :
Host Machine : Win2K8 R2 Enterprise with HYPER-V Role enabled.
What I wanted to do was create two VM suggested be MSDN but I have an alternative tutorial which sounds interesting as well.
1)Hyper V VM for SharePoint Server 2010 Install
2)Hyper V VM for Domain Controller SQL 2008 R2 with AD support
MSDN tutorial suggest at the end the following :
You could run a fully functional domain infrastructure on a setup installation such as the following example installation: Two virtual computers, each with 2 GB of RAM
Domain controller and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 running on one computer
SharePoint Server 2010 and two Web applications (including Central Administration) running on another computer
Sharepoint-tutorial.net Tutorial suggest the following :
We are going to setup a SharePoint Server 2010 development environment containing two servers:
- SharePoint Server
Database Server - Active Directory
We don’t deploy a single server with the built-in database. Instead we are using SQL Server 2008 R2 so this deployment can be scaled out to create two- and three-tier farm topologies if necessary1. This guide shows you how to create a closed environment with an Active Directory on a separate box. If you already have an Active Directory you can use the existing one for your installation.
Which one does every1 suggest to gain the most out of it in order learn Administration, Configuration and development Senarios for SP 2010?
