So here are my tips which worked best for me: The installation process from a technical point of view wasn't really a problem or the reason why problems occurred. This way the installation process can be done by different people or at a different time. Since nobody remembers all the steps which were done it's important to write them down.
Usually there is more than one environment to set up: staging, production or a recovery environment. Documentationĭocumentation is everything. I met a lot of customers where time and resources were limited but the preparation wasn’t done.
It's a waste of time if you need to wait or prepare it by yourself when you are ready to do the installation. Prepare your packages in time or verify if your customer has prepared everything. Since every environment is different there can occur problems you've never seen before. Installing SharePoint can be done in an hour, some hours or days. Take your time and schedule resources in time if you need them. For example some customers try to save money when buying servers but after months they need to invest more time and resources when they are not sufficient. Messing around with the requirements isn’t good and should be avoided. It has requirements regarding hardware, software like Windows Server 2008, SQL Server setup, Active Directory domain accounts or DNS settings. SharePoint has its requirements and you need to meet them. Anyway setting up a working environment is beneficial and here are some of the SharePoint installation best practices which worked for me. Installing SharePoint is a common task… either you install it for your own and colleagues or you need to install it for your customers.
