SharePoint 2013 Stanalone VM para o desenvolvimento bom o suficiente?

Question

Estou construindo uma VM para o desenvolvimento SP 2013.Será desenvolvendo soluções, WebParts, formulários personalizados, DataViews, conectividade de dados de negócios, campos personalizados, jquery inline, relatórios de SSRs para implantação no SharePoint, etc.

Minha VM tem Windows 2008 EE R2, SQL 2012 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint Designer 2013.

Devo instalar o SharePoint 2013 Stanalone ou Farm?

Eu prefiro mantê-lo o mais simples possível e ir autônomo, mas vou correr em qualquer limitações .. Eu poderei implantar relatórios do SQL 2012 SSRS?DataSources externos para BDC?Autenticação baseada em reivindicações de teste?OAuth e Odata?Minha preocupação é ter que instalar manualmente todos esses serviços neste dev vm se eu for fazenda.

update: uma outra informação importante é que o servidor não será unido a um domínio e não terá acesso a contas de domínio.Todas as contas de serviço devem ser usuários locais.

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
