Building the Internal Integration and Test Environment

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This section provides procedures for building the servers in the internal environment. The internal environment contains a test Web server that runs the Business Management applications, a test database server, and an internal domain controller. The internal environment is useful for developing and testing site updates without disrupting the run-time site and services. This tier should not be used for business management or development.

Follow these steps when you build a test tier:

1. Set up your network switch, load balancer, and firewalls.

2. Install Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 on each server.

3. Configure the domain controller. See Configuring a Domain Controller.

4. Configure your test SQL Server. See Configuring the Internal Database Server.

5. Configure your test business management server. See Configuring the Business Management Server.
