Introduction


Microsoft® SharePoint® 2013 makes it easy for people to work together. SharePoint 2013 Products enables you and your employees to set up web sites to share information with others, manage documents from start to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make informed decisions. SharePoint 2013 consists of SharePoint 2013 Foundation and SharePoint 2013 Server.

SharePoint Server 2013 has the following capabilities:



  • Sites Provides a single infrastructure for all your business web sites. Share documents with colleagues, manage projects with partners, and publish information to customers.

  • Communities Delivers great collaboration tools—and a single platform to manage them. Make it easy for people to share ideas and work together the way they want.

  • Composites Offers tools and components for creating do-it-yourself business solutions. Build no-code solutions to rapidly respond to business needs.

  • Content Makes content management easy. Set up compliance measures ”behind the scenes”—with features like document types, retention polices, and automatic content sorting—and then let people work naturally in Microsoft Office.

  • Insights Gives everyone access to the information in databases, reports, and business applications. Help people locate the information to make good decisions.

  • Search Cuts through the clutter. A unique combination of relevance, refinement, and social cues helps people find the information and contacts they need to get their jobs done.

For more information about Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, see the SharePoint 2013 Product Information site and SharePoint 2013 for IT pros.

Test Lab Guides


Microsoft Test Lab Guides (TLGs) are a set of documents that step you through the configuration and demonstration of a Microsoft technology or product in a standardized test lab environment, which starts with a common base configuration that mimics a simplified intranet and the Internet. TLGs are designed to be modular, extensible, and stackable to configure complex, multi-product solutions. TLGs make learning about products, technologies, and solutions easier by providing that crucial hands-on, “I built it out myself” experience.
For more information, see Test Lab Guides at http://microsoft.com/testlabguides.
A TLG stack is a set of dependent TLGs that, when configured from the bottom of the stack, create a meaningful test lab configuration. This TLG is at the top of the following TLG stack:

In this guide


This paper explains how to set up multiple web applications and site collections for team sites, My Sites, and intranet content. It also demonstrates basic search capabilities in a test lab that is based on the SharePoint Server 2013 Three-Tier Farm test lab guide. This paper configures web applications for intranet content, team sites, and My Sites in a manner similar to the Corporate Portal with Path-based Sites for SharePoint Server 2013 technical diagram.
Important
The following instructions configure a SharePoint Server 2013 test lab by using the minimum number of computers. Individual computers are needed to separate services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor does it reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network. Attempting to adapt this test lab configuration to a pilot or production deployment can result in configuration or functionality issues.

Test lab overview


In this test lab, SharePoint Server 2013 intranet collaboration functionality in a three-tier farm is deployed by using the following:

  • One computer running Windows® Server® 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 named DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, DHCP server, and enterprise root certification authority (CA).

  • One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 named SQL1 that is configured as a SQL database server.

  • One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 named APP1 that is configured as the SharePoint Server 2013 application server.

  • One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 named WFE1 that is configured as the SharePoint front-end web server.

  • One member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate named CLIENT1.

The SharePoint Server 2013 test lab consists of a single subnet named Corpnet (10.0.0.0/24) that simulates a private intranet. Computers on the Corpnet subnet connect by using a hub or switch. See the following figure.

Hardware and software requirements


The following are required components of the test lab:

  • The product disc or files for Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1.

  • The product disc or files for Windows 7.

  • The product disc or files for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1.

  • The product disc or files for SharePoint Server 2013.

  • Four computers that meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

  • One computer that meets the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate.

Steps for Configuring the SharePoint Server 2013 Intranet Collaboration Test Lab


Use the following steps to set up the SharePoint Server 2013 intranet collaboration lab.

  1. Set up the SharePoint Server 2013 3-tier farm test lab.

  2. Configure the intranet collaboration features on APP1.

  3. Demonstrate the intranet collaboration features on APP1.

Note
You must be logged on as a member of the Domain Admins group or a member of the Administrators group on each computer to complete the tasks described in this guide. If you cannot complete a task while you are logged on with an account that is a member of the Administrators group, try performing the task while you are logged on with an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group.

The following sections provide details about how to perform these steps.


Step 1: Set up the SharePoint Server 2013 3-tier farm test lab


Set up the SharePoint Server 2013 three-tier farm test lab using the procedures in theSharePoint Server 2013 Three-Tier Farm test lab guide.

Step 2: Configure the intranet collaboration features on APP1


In this procedure, you install the intranet collaboration features of SharePoint Server 2013 on APP1. The intranet collaboration features demonstrated in this guide use four separate application pools that host four web applications to separate different parts of the logical architecture of the sites.

  1. Web Application 1 - Hosts only the Central Administration web site.

This web application is created in a previous step.

  1. Web Application 2 - Hosts the various shared service applications that provide functionality for the features in this guide.

This web application is created in a previous step.

  1. Web Application 3 - Hosts the Published Intranet Content.

This content will be provided in three site collections. You will create this web application in this step.

  1. Web Application 4 - Hosts the Team Sites and My Sites content.

The Team Sites will be presented in three site collections. You will create this web application in this step.
