SharePoint 2013 Standalone VM für die Entwicklung gut genug?

Question

Ich baue ein VM für die Entwicklung von SP 2013.Entwickelt Lösungen, Webparts, benutzerdefinierte Formulare, DataViews, Business-Datenkonnektivität, benutzerdefinierte Felder, Inline-JQuery, SSRS-Berichte zur Bereitstellung in SharePoint usw.

My VM hat Windows 2008 EE R2, SQL 2012 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint Designer 2013.

Soll ich SharePoint 2013 Standalone oder Farm installieren?

Ich würde es lieber so einfach wie möglich halten und Standalone gehen, aber werde ich in irgendwelche Einschränkungen rennen. Kann ich SQL 2012 SSRS-Berichte bereitstellen?Externe DataSources für BDC?Testansprüche basierende Authentifizierung?OAUTH UND ODATA?Meine Sorge ist, all diese Dienste manuell auf diesem Dev-VM installieren zu müssen, wenn ich Farm gehe.

update: Eine andere wichtige Information ist, dass der Server nicht mit einer Domäne verbunden ist und keinen Zugriff auf Domänenkonten hat.Alle Service-Konten müssen lokale Benutzer sein.

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
