Configuring SharePoint Server 2016 Step by Step

Configuring SharePoint Server 2016 Step by Step

 To Configure SharePoint Server 2016:
1. Run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard. 

2. A welcome screen will be displayed after restarting the required services. Click Next.

3. Choose Create a new server farm and Click Next.

4. Specify Configuration Database Settings and Click Next.

5. Specify Farm Security Settings and Click Next.

6. Specify Server Role and Click Next. (We are using a Single-Server Farm)

7. Specify the port number for hosting Central Administration. (We are using port 100 as a standard.)

8. Review the Configuration and Click Next. 

9. Products Configuration will be now started. 

10. Click Finish once the configuration is successful.


SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration is now completed. We have done a Single-Server 
Farm Setup. You can do a Multi-Server Setup if required. But if you have selected Single-Server Farm then you cannot extend to Multi-Server environment, so if you plan to extend to Multi-Server farm in future then select the Custom MinRole or Application.

This is where it gets its application pool and other IIS properties. You can create multiple web applications on a server farm. Now you have a hollow web application but nothing else.

”An unexpected error has occured” SharePoint is not at all friendly with FIPS. Recently I faced this issue at my customer's place. I have tried all possible ways to get my site running and I ended up with the below issue.  “An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms. Checked the current status of FIPS. I have never faced this issue in my development environment so far.
