Install and Configure SharePoint Server 2013 step by step

In this blog post I am covering all basic required steps of SharePoint 13 installation. And have divided this in 4 parts.

1) Install Windows Server 2012 and Active Directory configuration.

2) Install SQL Server 2012.

3) Install and configure SharePoint Server 2013 .

4) Configure SharePoint Server Service Applications

5) Create your first web application on SharePoint Server 2013.

Installation and configuration of Windows Server and SQL server have done more specific to build SharePoint Server farm prospective.

For example, Permissions given to Service accounts during installation of windows server. Installation of SQL server and SharePoint Server have done by specific service account.

If you have any query, please post comment.

Thank you.
