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.

Configuring SharePoint 2019 prerequisites

When we start the installation of SharePoint, we need to make sure the following things are available:

  • Installation software (DVD, ISO, USB).
  • Keys for licensing.
  • Accounts created for the service and admin identities.
  • AD: SharePoint Server 2019 is only supported with a minimum of AD 2003.
  • Admin rights are given to the admin account running the installation.
  • Download the prerequisites needed to do the installation.
  • Identical hard drive configurations on all SharePoint servers (always at least two drives configured).
  • Turn off Windows Firewall unless you have to download my script to configure the ports manually.

Note that the Office 2019 client cannot be installed on the same server as SharePoint Server 2019.

Preparing the server is the same as we did for SQL Server 2017 in the Configuring SQL Server 2017 section of this chapter. Repeat these steps on all SQL and SharePoint servers:
