ReplyDeleteTerry,
ReplyDeleteWhile it may not be recommended, is it nonetheless possible to have just TWO servers for a SharePoint 2013 two-tier farm on Windows Server 2012 installation? In my case, the domain controller and SP 2013 would reside on the same server. Thanks.
Bob,
DeleteIt's possible to install the SharePoint 2013 and SQL database to a server. However, It may be difficult to troubleshoot an issue in the server.
Thank you. Very simple and good description. But I think steps 5,6,7 have to be applied not for SPAdmin, but for SPFarmSvc. Because we use this account on step 13. Please confirm. I very new with this system and afraid security issues.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThese accounts are followed Microsoft Technet documents. You can read "Initial deployment administrative and service accounts in SharePoint 2013" and "Plan for administrative and service accounts in SharePoint 2013" for your reference.
