Hi all,
I’m hoping to spin up my Azure SharePoint Dev environment in a quick and painless way. I found a couple of guides:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee554869(v=office.15).aspx
These guides talk about a powershell script and sounds like I won’t even have to download the binaries but I cannot find those scripts. The folder in desktop is just not there. Also I notice that the template gallery in Azure for a machine has changed (understandable) considerably since these articles were written and wondering if the scripts got deprecated? I could have selected the wrong one too. I used the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 4 image.
Cheers,
Samir
There are three major phases to setting up this dev/test environment:
Set up the virtual network and domain controller (adVM).
Configure the SQL Server computer (sqlVM).
Configure the SharePoint server (spVM).
Phase 1: Deploy the virtual network and a domain controller
In the Azure portal, click Resource Groups > <the name of your new resource group> > adVM > Connect.
Run the adVM.rdp file that is downloaded, and then click Connect.
In Windows Security, click Use another account. In User name, type adVM\<ADMIN_NAME>.
In Password, type the password of the ADMIN_NAME account, and then click OK.
When prompted, click Yes.
Phase 2: Add and configure a SQL Server 2014 virtual machine
On the Start screen, type SQL Studio, and then click SQL Server 2014 Management Studio.
In Connect to Server, click Connect.
In the left pane, right-click the top node—the default instance named after the machine—and then click Properties.
In Server Properties, click Database Settings.
In Database default locations, set the following values:
For Data, set the path to f:\Data.
For Log, set the path to f:\Log.
For Backup, set the path to f:\Backup.
Click OK to close the window.
In the left pane, expand the Security folder.
Right-click Logins, and then click New login.
In Login name, type CORP\<ADMIN_NAME>.
Under Select a page, click Server Roles, click sysadmin, and then click OK.
Close SQL Server 2014 Management Studio.
