Learn about Microsoft Office Web Apps and how to deploy them on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products on-premises in your organization.

Office Web Apps are the online companions to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft OneNote applications. Office Web Apps enable users to access documents from anywhere by using a Web browser. Users can view, share, and work on documents with other users online across personal computers and mobile devices.

Office Web Apps requires a supported device, an Internet connection, and a supported browser. Some mobile functionality requires Office Mobile 2010, which is not included in Office 2010 applications, suites, or Office Web Apps. There are some differences among the features of Office Web Apps, Office Mobile 2010, and the Office 2010 applications. For more information about Office Web Apps requirements, see Plan Office Web Apps (Installed on SharePoint 2010 Products).

Important

Do not install Office Web Apps on a computer that is configured as a domain controller. Instead, run Office Web Apps and the domain controller on separate computers. If you only have one computer, consider running Office Web Apps and the domain controller configuration as separate virtual machine instances on the single host computer, by using Hyper-V or other virtualization software.

Unless otherwise noted, SharePoint 2010 Products in this article refers to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, which must be installed before you install Office Web Apps. This article does not provide guidance or instructions about how to deploy SharePoint 2010 Products. For more information about how to deploy SharePoint 2010 Products, see Deployment scenarios (SharePoint Server 2010) or Deployment scenarios (SharePoint Foundation 2010).

Before you deploy Office Web Apps in your organization, ensure that you understand the concepts and terminology in Office Web Apps overview (Installed on SharePoint 2010 Products) and Plan Office Web Apps (Installed on SharePoint 2010 Products).

Warning

When you install Office Web Apps on server farm, it becomes tightly integrated into SharePoint 2010 Products.
Before you install Office Web Apps on a server farm in a production environment, we strongly recommend that you install Office Web Apps in a test environment and thoroughly evaluate it to ensure that it fully meets your organization's needs. This evaluation should include verifying that you have appropriate licenses to install and run Office Web Apps in a production environment. For more information about Office Web Apps licensing, see How to buy Office 2010 through Volume Licensing (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=220251).
Uninstalling Office Web Apps will result in some downtime for the farm. For more information, see Deactivate or Uninstall Office Web Apps (installed on SharePoint 2010 Products).
To download Office Web Apps, go to the Office Professional Plus 2010 32-bit or Office Standard 2010 32-bit page on the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=191841).

Understanding Office Web Apps deployment

For stand-alone SharePoint 2010 Products servers and server farms, deploying Office Web Apps involves three phases:

Installing Office Web Apps   Includes running Setup.exe for the Office Web Apps on a stand-alone SharePoint 2010 Products server or on each server in a SharePoint server farm. Running Setup.exe installs Office Web Apps files and components on a server.

Activating the Office Web Apps services   Includes starting the services, and creating the service applications and service application proxies. How you activate the services depends on the state of your SharePoint 2010 Products installation before you install Office Web Apps. If the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard and the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard have been previously run, which is usually the case when you are installing on an existing stand-alone server or server farm, you must activate the services manually or by using Windows PowerShell. If the configuration wizards have not been run before you install Office Web Apps, which is the case when you are installing on a new stand-alone server or server farm, you can run the configuration wizards after the installation to automatically activate the services.

Note

When this article refers to the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, alternately you can use the Psconfig command-line tool to complete the task. For more information, see Psconfig command-line reference (SharePoint Server 2010).

Activating the Office Web Apps feature   Includes activating the Office Web Apps feature on each existing SharePoint site collection where you want Office Web Apps to be available. If the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard was run before you installed Office Web Apps, the wizard will have created at least one site collection for which Office Web Apps are activated. After you have installed Office Web Apps, the Office Web Apps feature is activated automatically for new site collections that you create.

Some procedures in this article require you to run SharePoint 2010 cmdlets or scripts by using either Windows PowerShell or SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. To run SharePoint 2010 cmdlets in Windows PowerShell, you must add the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell snap-in by using the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet. For more information about the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet, see Add-PSSnapin (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=188450). By default, the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell snap-in is already registered and added to the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. To run SharePoint 2010 cmdlets, you must be a member of the SharePoint_Shell_Access role on the configuration database and a member of the WSS_ADMIN_WPG local group on the computer where SharePoint 2010 Products is installed. See Add-SPShellAdmin. To run scripts in Windows PowerShell or SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, you must set the execution policy by using the set-executionpolicy cmdlet with the unrestricted parameter. For more information about how to use Windows PowerShell with SharePoint 2010 Products, see SharePoint 2010 Products administration by using Windows PowerShell.

Deployment scenarios

Install and configure Office Web Apps on a new SharePoint server farm

Perform the procedures in this section only if you are installing Office Web Apps on a new SharePoint 2010 Products server farm on which neither the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard nor the Farm Configuration Wizard have been previously run.

Note

To complete the following procedures, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.

Run Office Web Apps Setup

Complete this procedure to install the Office Web Apps files and components on a single SharePoint 2010 Products server in a new server farm on which neither the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard nor the Farm Configuration Wizard has not previously been run. You must complete this procedure on each server in the server farm.

To run Office Web Apps Setup

  1. From the root folder of the Office Web Apps files, run Setup.exe.

  2. On the Enter your Product Key page, enter your product key, and then click Continue.

  3. On the Choose a file location page, do one of the following:

    • To install to the default location, click Install Now.

    • To install to a different location, specify the location that you want to install to, and then click Install Now.

  4. After Setup is complete, on the Run Configuration Wizard page, ensure that the Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard now check box is selected, and then click Close to open the wizard.

  5. Complete the following procedure before you install Office Web Apps on the other servers in the farm.

Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard to register services

Complete this procedure to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard to register the Office Web Apps services on a single SharePoint 2010 Products server. You must complete this procedure on each server in the server farm.

Important

Install Office Web Apps and run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard first on a server on which you want to host the Central Administration Web application. The first time that you run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, the wizard creates the configuration database that all successive servers that you add to farm will share. Then, install Office Web Apps and run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on the other servers that you want to add to the new farm.

To run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard to register the services

  1. To start the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, and then click SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard.

  2. On the Welcome to SharePoint Products page, click Next.

  3. In the dialog box that notifies you that some services might have to be started or reset during configuration, click Yes.

  4. On the Connect to a server farm page, do one of the following:

    • To create a new server farm, on the first SharePoint 2010 Products server, click Create a new server farm, and then click Next.

    • To add more SharePoint 2010 Products servers to the farm, click Connect to an existing server farm, and then click Next.

  5. On the Specify Configuration Database Settings page, do the following:

    1. In the Database server box, type the name of the computer that is running SQL Server.

      • To create the new configuration database on the first SharePoint 2010 Products server, in the Database name box, type the name that you want to use for your configuration database or use the default database name. The default name is SharePoint_Config.

      • To add more SharePoint 2010 Products servers to the farm, click Retrieve Database Names, and then, in the Database name box, select the appropriate database from the list or type the name of your server farm's configuration database.

    3. On the first SharePoint 2010 Products server, to specify a database access account, do the following:

      • In the Username box, type the user name of the server farm account in DOMAIN\user name format.

        Important

        The server farm account is used to create and access your configuration database. It also acts as the application pool identity account for the Central Administration application pool, and it is the account under which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service runs. The SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard adds this account to the SQL Server Login accounts, the SQL Server dbcreator fixed server role, the SQL Server securityadmin fixed server role, and the db_owner fixed database role for all SharePoint databases in the server farm. The user account that you specify as the service account must be a domain user account. However, it does not have to be a member of any specific security group on your Web servers or your database servers. We recommend that you follow the least-privilege principle and specify a user account that is not a member of the Administrators group on your Web servers or your database servers.

      • In the Password box, type the user password.

    4. Click Next.

  6. On the Specify Farm Security Settings page, type a passphrase for your farm, and then click Next.

    Although a passphrase resembles a password, it is usually longer to increase security. It is used to encrypt credentials of accounts that are registered in SharePoint 2010 Products. For example, the SharePoint Server system account that you provide when you run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. Ensure that the passphrase meets the following criteria:

    • Contains at least eight characters

    • Contains at least three of the following four character groups:

      • English uppercase characters (from A through Z)

      • English lowercase characters (from a through z)

      • Numerals (from 0 through 9)

      • Nonalphabetic characters (such as !, $, #, %)

      Important

      Ensure that you remember the passphrase, because you must use it every time that you add a server to the farm.

  7. On the Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application page, do the following:

    Note

    This page does not appear if you have added the first server to the farm and are adding an additional server to farm.

    1. To use the default port number for the Central Administration Web application, leave the Specify port number check box cleared, or — to use a specific port number  — select the Specify port number check box, and then type the port number that you want to use.

      Note

      If you want to access the Central Administration Web site from a remote computer, ensure that you enable access to the port number that you configure in this step. You do this by configuring an inbound rule for SharePoint Central Administration v4 in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

    2. Click either NTLM or Negotiate (Kerberos), and then click Next.

  8. On the Completing the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard page, review the configuration settings, and then do one of the following:

    • If you are running the wizard on the first server in the farm, click Next to begin the configuration.

    • If you are adding an additional server to the farm and you want to use the server to host the Central Administration Web application, click Advanced Settings, and then click Use this machine to host the web site.

      Note

      If you are adding an additional server to the farm, the default setting is Do not use this machine to host the web site.

  9. On the Configuration Successful page, click Finish. Your new SharePoint site opens to the Configure your SharePoint farm page.

    Important

    Do not run the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard until you have installed Office Web Apps and run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on every server in the farm.

Run the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard

After you have installed Office Web Apps and run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on all servers in the farm, complete this procedure to run the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard. You need to run the Farm Configuration Wizard on only one server. Running the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard does the following on each server in the farm:

  • Starts the services

  • Creates the service applications and service application proxies

  • Activates the Office Web Apps feature for any existing site collections

On the Configure your SharePoint farm page, you can decide to use a wizard to configure services or you can configure services manually.

The choice that you make here is a matter of personal preference. The Farm Configuration Wizard will configure some services automatically when it is run. However, if you configure services manually, you have more flexibility in designing your logical architecture. For more information about how to configure the services manually, see Multiple servers for a three-tier farm (SharePoint Foundation 2010) or Multiple servers for a three-tier farm (SharePoint Server 2010).

Important

If you are using DBA-created databases, see Deploy by using DBA-created databases (SharePoint Server 2010).

To run the SharePoint Farm Configuration Wizard

  1. To run the Farm Configuration Wizard, on the Central Administration Web site, click Configuration Wizards, and then click Launch the Farm Configuration Wizard.

  2. On the Configure your SharePoint Farm page, in the Service Account area, click Use an existing managed account, and then select the server farm account that you created in an earlier procedure.

  3. In the Services area, select the Office Web Apps services and other services that you want to enable, and then click Next.

  4. On the Create Site Collection page, either complete the optional page to create a new top-level site or click Skip to continue without creating a new top-level site at this point. For more information about how to create a top-level site, see Create a site collection (SharePoint Server 2010).

  5. On the Configure your SharePoint Farm page, click Finish.
