Configure SharePoint 2013 Farm with PowerShell

  • Article

A little PowerShell script that I often use while setting up my demo environments. There is more addition to this coming…

For sake of sanity… there is a zip file attached to this post with the ps1 file in it.

 

Clear-Host

# Values mentioned below needs to be edited

 $DatabaseServer = "SQL01"; #SPecify the instance name if SQL is not installed on default instance

$FarmName = "SP2013";

$ConfigDB = $FarmName+"_ConfigDB";

$AdminContentDB = $FarmName+"_CentralAdminContent";

$Passphrase = convertto-securestring "pass@word1" -asplaintext -force;

$Port = "2013";

$Authentication = "NTLM";

$FarmAccount = "waterfall\spfarm"
