SharePoint 2013独立VM用于发展足够好吗？

Question

我正在为SP 2013开发构建VM。将是开发解决方案，WebParts，自定义表单，DataViews，业务数据连接，自定义字段，内联jQuery，SSRS报告，用于部署到SharePoint等。

我的VM有Windows 2008 EE R2，SQL 2012 Enterprise，Visual Studio 2012，SharePoint Designer 2013。

我应该安装SharePoint 2013独立或农场吗？

我宁愿保持它尽可能简单，并才能独立，但我会遇到任何限制..我是否能够部署SQL 2012 SSRS报告？BDC的外部数据源？基于测试索赔的身份验证？OAuth和ODATA？如果我去农场，我的担忧必须在此开发VM上手动安装所有这些服务。

更新：另一个重要信息是服务器不会加入域，并且无法访问域帐户。所有服务帐户必须是本地用户。

Answer 1

Going stand alone will only (negatively) impact the security accounts used and the use of SQL Server Express 2008 R2 instead of your own SQL Server 2012 (and of course will prevent any growth later on) Both installations will run the Farm Configuration wizard which will configure most of the service (and you should do it manually to have better control once you'll know what you're doing) if you do not stop it / decline it.

A good guidance is the critical path training. It will help you creating a development frienly environment in minimal time : http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2012/08/27/now-available-critical-path-trainingrsquos-sharepoint-2013-setup-guide-for.aspx

Moreover, the kind of development that you'll be doing will heavily benefit from a development environment that is way closer to the target production environment than a quick & dirty "stand alone" deployment which will never be the case in any production environment (avoiding you the "hey it worked on my machine syndrome" when delivering to QA/STG/Prod).

Happy installation :)

Answer 2

Stand alone will attempt to use SQL server express. I would choose farm.

Answer 3

It is always better to choose the farm installation, if possible. You may later decide to add a few more servers.

Answer 4

You might want to consider performance too. The full version recommends a 4 core processor. I installed it on a VM on my laptop (2 core, 16GB RAM) with 1 core for the VM and performance of the VM tanked compared with the standalone.

Answer 5

Is it not possible to promote the vm to a dc? That way you can use all the goodness having AD gives you. A great guide to setting up a sp 2013 can be found @ www.criticalpathtraining.com in the member section (membership is free). If you want to add mail, use hmailserver...very light
