Overview of this book

Microsoft’s latest addition to their product range, SharePoint Server 2019, is a new enterprise content management platform that brings on-premise collaboration features to life. It can be used as an isolated platform or in a hybrid connected configuration providing management and connectivity to Office 365. You can use the SharePoint framework to host sites, information, data, and applications in a robust CMS that centralizes collaborative content for enterprises. SharePoint 2019 enables new integrations and features that will allow you to work seamlessly with new and old Office products such as Microsoft Power Apps and other Microsoft Office applications. Implementing Microsoft SharePoint 2019 will help you understand the challenges, planning, migration steps, installation concepts, and configuration involved in providing this platform for your enterprise. The book will also show you what the platform brings to the table from an on-premise server perspective. If you’re new to SharePoint 2019, you’ll also be guided through how to get servers up and running so that you and your user community can become productive with this powerful new platform. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed in Microsoft SharePoint 2019 and have the knowledge you need to apply your skills in the real world.

Installing Windows Server 2019 – host configuration

To start our installation, please create a bootable DVD or USB to install Windows Server 2019. After doing so, reboot your system and choose the method with which you would like to start your installation. There are two ways to install Windows Server 2019: one is using Desktop Experience or a GUI interface, and the other is Core, which is all command-line driven. We will use the GUI interface because this is the default interface supported by SharePoint 2019.

The checklist of items we need to create our hosts is the following, and these items should be documented as a best practice for the support of the environment:

  • IP addresses for the servers
  • Server naming conventions
  • Admin and service accounts 
  • A network supporting the servers
  • ISO for installation of Windows Server 2019
  • Licenses for all product installations
  • Any company policy-related configuration details
  • Any security policy...
