37. Setup Considerations
Installation & Setup

38. Install The Bits – Follow the Basic Steps
1. Plan and Prepare; Verify hardware and software requirements
2. Install the required software updates on all farm servers
3. Install the SharePoint 2013 prerequisites on servers in the
application and Web tiers
4. Install SharePoint 2013 on the application server and the Web
servers
5. Create and configure the SharePoint farm
6. Provision service applications as needed
7. Complete post-deployment tasks as required

39. Prepare the Servers

– Requires internet connection to pull down missing prerequisites
– Can be run w/o internet connection to check for missing
prerequisites
• Public Updates and Hotfix Packages
– Update WFE & App servers as appropriate
– Ensure SQL Updates installed
– Ensure all SharePoint servers are at the same patch level

40. Running the Preparation Tool
• Run on Web and Application servers
• Ensure you are logged on as local admin
• If running from bits on a file system, locate and run
prerequisiteinstaller.exe from the SharePoint 2013 bits folder
• Otherwise, if you install from bootable image click Install
software prerequisites
• Click Next
• May require server reboot – however preparation tool will
continue to run after restart
• Click Finish on the Installation Complete page

before
• If a user has the Grant Permissions right, they can share
themselves
• Otherwise the requests must be handled by an admin
• NOTE: You MUST have configured the outgoing SMTP
server for a web application or the “Share this site” menu
option will not appear for anyone but site collection admins

50. Sharing – Limited Rights User
• Users click on Share link to request rights

51. Sharing Process

Access Requests and Invitations page
– A link also shows up on Site Permissions when request are
pending
• You can accept or decline a request, or add comments
to request additional details
• Users can view all of their own pending requests from
the Site Permissions page
• They can also see and respond to admin comments

52. Sharing – Admin View
• Admins see this when there are permission requests for the site:

53. Sharing – Processing Requests

54. Sharing – Granting Rights

assign rights or decline, or ask for more info:

55. Sharing – Granting Rights
• And when you grant rights, it shows you what permission
levels are associated with groups:

56. Sharing – Limited Rights User
• Users can see the requests they’ve made as well as discussions
about requests:

59. Why to dedicated Office Web Apps
functionality?
• Not all documents are in SharePoint
• Large customers had numerous farms to manage in 2010 time frame
• Easier upgrade and maintenance for Office Web Apps functionality
• Easier consuming of Office Web Apps functionalities without complex
SharePoint federation
• Easier to setup also without SharePoint – if only used for example with
Exchange

60. Terminology
• WOPI - Web application Open Platform Interface - Direct file
operations interface between a WOPI app and a WOPI host
• The Office Web Apps Server world neatly divides into two parts:
– WOPI Apps or WOPI Clients such as Office Web Apps Server
– WOPI Hosts or WOPI Servers such as SharePoint

61. Simplified Flow with SharePoint and Office Web
