Configuring SharePoint 2019 prerequisites
When we start the installation of SharePoint, we need to make sure the following things are available:
- Installation software (DVD, ISO, USB).
- Keys for licensing.
- Accounts created for the service and admin identities.
- AD: SharePoint Server 2019 is only supported with a minimum of AD 2003.
- Admin rights are given to the admin account running the installation.
- Download the prerequisites needed to do the installation.
- Identical hard drive configurations on all SharePoint servers (always at least two drives configured).
- Turn off Windows Firewall unless you have to download my script to configure the ports manually.
Note that the Office 2019 client cannot be installed on the same server as SharePoint Server 2019.
Preparing the server is the same as we did for SQL Server 2017 in the Configuring SQL Server 2017 section of this chapter. Repeat these steps on all SQL and SharePoint servers:
