Lay Down the Bits
Creating the Farm• Use PowerShell to create the farm

– Full script at http://www.toddklindt.com/SEF2013
• Can use PowerShell for the rest or use the Wizard
• Check MAXDOP
Configuring the Farm
• Some PowerShell, some CA
• No Wizards!
• Similar to my SharePoint 2010 installation process

• Create Web Apps with PowerShell

Service App Notes
• Most farms should
have

– Usage
– Managed Metadata
– Secure Store
– Business Data
Connectivity
– Search
– User Profile
– App Management
– Subscription
Setting
• Run a full crawl right away
• Managed Metadata with PowerShell needs an extra
kick
