You can use this procedure to set up and deploy additional front-end Web servers in your Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 server farm.

Add a Web server to the SharePoint Products and Technologies farm

Use these procedures to install and configure Office SharePoint Server 2007 on a new Web server to be added to an existing SharePoint Products and Technologies server farm. If your SharePoint Products and Technologies administration includes preset configuration files, be sure to use the procedure for command-line installation.

Before you begin:

Verify that you know the name of the database server used for the farm you are connecting to.
Ensure that the server you are adding has the following installed software:
- Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and an NTFS file system
- The Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 with ASP.NET 2.0 installed and enabled

The following procedures contain steps and settings specific to the job of creating and integrating a front-end Web server to your farm. For detailed prerequisites and installation instructions for SharePoint Products and Technologies, see Deploy in a simple server farm (Office SharePoint Server).

These procedures assume that there is already a front-end Web server in the farm that is running the SharePoint Central Administration Web site.

Important

You must be a member of the Farm Administrators SharePoint group and the Administrators group on the local server computer to complete these procedures.

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

Add a front-end Web server to the farm by using the command line

Open a command prompt window, and then change to the disk or file share that contains the SharePoint Products and Technologies installation files.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
setup.exe /config \\<server name>\<folder name>\<configuration file name>

Note

When you run Setup.exe, you include a space after the command, followed by a forward slash (/) and the name of the switch, and sometimes followed by another space and one or more parameters. A setup configuration file is necessary when installing SharePoint Products and Technologies from the command line. You may need to choose from several different configuration files depending on the type of server you are installing. Be sure to choose the configuration file that will result in a front-end Web server. For more information about Setup.exe parameters, see Setup.exe command-line reference (Office SharePoint Server).
After installation is complete, change to the following directory to begin configuration:
%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\bin
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
psconfig –cmd configdb –connect –server <database server name> -database <database name>

where <database name> is the name of the configuration database for the SharePoint Products and Technologies server farm that you want to connect to.
