You could even use it for learning how to install Exchange Server. After all, it’s your Home Lab domain. In this book you will build your home-lab domain and you’ll have a great place for learning how to administer SharePoint and develop SharePoint Apps. Here are just some of the tasks you’ll complete in easy to follow exercises: Create a windows domain and a certificate authority, so that you can run SharePoint on SSL Join servers to the domain and configure other technology on the member servers as needed Install SQL Server, and correctly partition the server in accordance with best practices Install and configure a SharePoint farm Spin up Host Named Site Collections (HNSC’s) Install and configure Visual Studio Who This Book Is For: This book is suitable for both developers and administrators.
