Build Service Provisioning
Service provisioning relies on the Microsoft Provisioning System (MPS) to automate routine administrative server management tasks such as adding new users, updating directory entries, and provisioning applications and services. By automating provisioning activities, you can lower development costs.
This section contains procedures to deploy service provisioning in your hosting infrastructure. It also includes installation tasks that you should perform prior to building your provisioning environment with the MPS Deployment Tool.
The MPS Deployment Tool will help you deploy the core items necessary for service provisioning to work in this solution. These items include:
Provisioning Engine
Service accounts in the Active Directory directory service
Configuration of Active Directory to the correct mode
Creation of the Servers OU structure
Tasks Summary
Install and Configure the MPS Database Server Cluster
Deploy MPS
Install the Provisioning Web Server
Deploy the MPS DNS Client
Configure the DNS Web Client
