"Do not read Soviet newspapers before dinner" Canine Heart
C Monday, MSDN subscribers have received the first MS Project Server 2010 broke off the phone technical support Microsoft. Stems from the incorrect instructions for installing MS Project Server 2010 published at different WAREZ-sites.
So, many IT-users, or reached an impasse does not install the product, or even worse after reading nonsense from the Internet, many administrators damaged Windows Server 2008 and blocked the installation procedure MS Project Server 20 10.
We publish the first public screenshot of the Russian version of MS Project Server 2010
C foot to the rescue! Real experience of installing the Russian version of MS Project Server 2010 with pictures and explanations.
We will update this story comment on a problem-solving "troubleshooting" and add links to download the software so look down here more often. The first version of the Article provides an overview of "slippery" places.
How to define "broken" instructions for installing MS Project Server 2010?
Most of the "broken" instructions come from "leaking" documents published with the Technical Preview, not only in violation of the NDA, but the actual errors. If you find any words like "Technical Preview, is just press" X "in the browser and walk away from the page. Let us explain.
Architect of Microsoft Project Server 2010, Alexander sent me a Tough and Microsoft RUS a letter which declared the practice of copying information from the Technical Preview is highly undesirable, and the main reason not to NDA, but the fact that such publication the user can enter MS Project Server into thinking that k. to exit the beta version, it may be outdated.
"Can internal members share documentation from the Technical Preview with other customers? We don't recommend it. The main reason is because the documentation is going to be obsolete once the public Beta is available. We're still considering the exact format of the documentation for the Beta release, but there is definitely going to be some additional documentation that is going to be more up-to-date than the documents we released for the Technical Preview. " Alexander Tough, the architect of Microsoft Project Server 2010
Besides copying elements of the documentation element of the second Technical Preview feature an unreliable source of information is missing some important steps in the installation, without which it is impossible in principle. How can you miss a step?Worked a lot with virtual machines ready MS Project Server 2010 are configured by engineers Microsoft. It is often not checked the copied materials for completeness, because plant itself MS Project Server 2010 is not performed.
After the MS Project Server 2010 is now available on MSDN, many took the "How professionals," to which MS Project Server 2010 met the user a descent like this.
It is clear that even a novice system administrator saw it and did not see in the manual requirements for pre-installation is not just a MS SQL 2008 SP1, and trudnodostavaemy Cumulative Update 2, asks the question "Was there a boy?" In the sense of whether the author of How real-world experience installing MS Project Server 2010?
Reduced the problem of unreliable statements actually wider. Erroneous instructions to install the prerequisites, MS Project Server blocking its deployment process. On this later.
Advance preparation for installation
Server with 6-8 GB of memory
Install the new Microsoft server products can only be a 64-bit Windows Server 2008.
The installation itself Windows Server 2008, business as usual. Unusual this server.
MS Project Server 2010 can run on a server with at least 6 gigabytes of memory. On 4 gigabytes - no chance. Checked. More precisely the page will open in 10-20 seconds.
For 6 gigabytes more you can do the pilot testing.
Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Cumulative Update 2
Nontrivial point with MS SQL Server. It is recommended to use only MS SQL 2008. The difference in performance with MS SQL 2005 for about 20-30% for MS Project Server 2010. Especially it is shown, if you install MS SQL on the same machine with MS Project Server 2010 as is often done for the pilot-test.
An additional complication is that without the Cumulative Update below the 2nd version to install MS Project Server 2010 does not happen. One of SP1 will be enough.
For "Pirates" is a serious barrier, because on file with the CU at Microsoft to change their passwords almost everyday. To legitimate users, this means waiting for CU by Support Microsoft. CU2 Request can be immediately .
Note that at CU in older versions than CU2 everything works fine.
Likely to request Cumulative Update 2 for MS SQL 2008 support Microsoft and many now have stopped. However, until you get CU2, this material will also be improved. Do not worry.
Domain users to install
Install MS Project Server 2010 on local users will not work. Looking for Domain users. For a virtual demo machines is a problem. In any case, you need Active Directory. When you pick up the AD on a demo of Windows Server 2008, remember that usernames in MS SQL 2008 renamed. It may "hang" MS Project Server installation process.
Do not read WAREZ-site manual installation of prerequisites!
Download components to install SharePoint from the Internet have made in Microsoft specifically to automatically update components. Therefore, the launch of the verification procedure is compulsory prerequisites at least in terms of revision control.
At WAREZ-sites board meets to install components for MS SharePoint 2010 manual does not give the installation wizard to download them from the Internet.
If you do so, you can probably already see that the installation is blocked and you can not verify whether the use Valid versions of components.
The problem is that you put "arms" Geneva Framework. His Unattended Installation of MS SharePoint 2010 will not be able to update.
If you are in despair over the fact that the wrong instructions installed MS Project Server 2010, I hasten to comfort them. You just need more time to download the installer Geneva Framework on this link and specify the installer, so he removed the "Geneva". After that, select "Install the necessary software" will run without errors. We note again that this is advice for those who were not careful in the choice of sources of information on MS Project Server 2010. Ordinary users do not need anything.
Another problem in PowerShell.
PowerShell 2.0 CTP3
The installer requires the latest version of PowerShell 2.0 CTP3.
You can download it from this link , but it refuses to install because PowerShell installer does not know how to remove previous versions.
Have to manually remove. To do this, enter into the components of Windows Server (where included the role of server, etc.) and disable c tary PowerShell.
Run the installer MS SharePoint Server 2010 must start with "Install the necessary software." The installer will check the file versions.
If you used the instructions WAREZ-sites likely this option crashed. And is not visible in the window what had happened.
Hint. If the error "Install the necessary software, simply select a message box with the mouse. And lo! Texts manifest error. Seen designers have decided to punish Microsoft for the use of incorrect instructions and .... withdraw part of error text white lettering on a white background.:)
After a short battle with PowerShell update you all should get and run. Install SharePoint Server ".
Note that to install the product key is required.
You will be asked "Standalone" or "server farm". Choose the "Farm". Because "Offline", you force the MS SQL 2008 Express Edition with truncated functional.
Next, select "Full", not to install MS SQL 2008 Express Edition.
Run the Configuration Wizard
After installation run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.
Ask a new farm
Use domain accounts are in the process.
Installing MS Project Server 2010
Can immediately start the "Install Project Server"
Connect to the farm and set the MS Project Server. There's nothing complicated, just go to the master.
In the late again run Configuration Wizard.
From the Windows folder, open the program and call the SharePoint Central Administration.
You will immediately be offered to configure a farm foreman. We agree.
Next, ask about the account. You can put everything under one account.
After that several minutes can go to "Processing".
If you will give some errors, then repeat the call to the master.
If you do not help, check IDs and especially their rights in MS SQL.
Create a site PWA
Straight from the "Central Administration" called "Managing service application."
In the list find the Project Server
Click "Create Site Project Web Access"
Window create a site filled PWA data SQL-server and database automatically.
Correct as required.
About tdayte team to fill the data node PWA.
If there are no problems with access logins in MS SQL, then the PWA site has been successfully created.
Click on the link type http://server/pwa and you are lucky enough to have MS Project Server 2010.
Troubleshooting. TroubleShooting
At the end of the possible problems and eliminate them.
You can meet the "formidable" red line in the Administration Center. Just click to clarify the problem.
Maybe just not enough space.
A more serious problem if the node is not created and PWA in the log about this error.
Templates are in the correct directory. There is another problem.
Check the access of all logins in MS SQL. Else can help create the site template on the PWA at the end of the setup wizard farm.
Another problem. Maybe knot PWA will not be created.
Check the login name in MS SQL and their rights.
