SharePoint Demo Build 2.0 Installation Guidance

This document provides instructions on how to install SharePoint Demo Build 2.0 that will configure SharePoint 2013, for your review and use. The primary reason the SharePoint Demo Build 2.0 chose AutoSPinstaller v3.87 is first and most importantly that we have been using it now for years and it works. Please note that this installation takes about 45 minutes to install and about 45 minutes to configure.

RequirementsThis installable package is built using the SharePoint Content Pack Installer with PowerShell on a virtual machine. This document assumes that you have already successfully created an environment with Windows Server 2012 Guest or using Hardware. The preferred Server Name for the Server is DEMO2013a. This document may refer to this machine as “the base VM, the Contoso server, or DEMO2013a.

As a best practice, we recommend installing each Content Pack on a “clean” base VM. The Active Directory Content Pack may also be utilized within other content packs. Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity of the Active Directory Content Pack, we advise reverting back to the base image prior to installing additional content packs.

The SharePoint Installation Demo Build 2.0 has the following pre-requisites

1. Windows Server 20122. The AD DS Role has been added 3. DCPromo has been completed for the Contoso.com Domain with and FQDN including the server

4. Download the content pack SP2013ConfigDemo15.2.5.zip. We owe a huge debt of gratitude for the work that has gone into this project. I want to say that without the work that’s been done by so many talented people. The installation and configuration of SharePoint 2013 would be much more difficult than it is now. For more information on the original work please visit http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com and a special thank you to Andrew Woody and Brian Lalancette and the installation tool of Choice for SharePoint 2010 and 2013 Farms
