Installing Windows Server 2019 – host configuration
To start our installation, please create a bootable DVD or USB to install Windows Server 2019. After doing so, reboot your system and choose the method with which you would like to start your installation. There are two ways to install Windows Server 2019: one is using Desktop Experience or a GUI interface, and the other is Core, which is all command-line driven. We will use the GUI interface because this is the default interface supported by SharePoint 2019.
The checklist of items we need to create our hosts is the following, and these items should be documented as a best practice for the support of the environment:
- IP addresses for the servers
- Server naming conventions
- Admin and service accounts
- A network supporting the servers
- ISO for installation of Windows Server 2019
- Licenses for all product installations
- Any company policy-related configuration details
- Any security policy...
