Configuring Host Header Mode Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 by Using Scripts

  • Article

After installing Windows SharePoint Services and language packs, the Internet Platform and Operations group ran the following script (Script 1) on the first front-end Web server to do the following:

  • Create an IIS 6 Application Pool for Windows SharePoint Services Administration Virtual Server, configure its ID to STSBeta\STSAdminAcct, and change the port number to 8080

  • Create a Windows SharePoint Services configuration database, and specify running Windows SharePoint Services in host-header and Active Directory account creation mode

  • Create an IIS 6 Application Pool for Windows SharePoint Services site virtual server and configure its ID to STSBeta\STSAcct

  • Extend the Windows SharePoint Services virtual server and create a new content database

    Note

    If you want to customize this script for your needs, you need to change the settings in red text to fit your configuration. For example, you should change the STSAcct password from "Password" to another, more secure password.

    Note

    When you copy and paste the script into a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad, be careful to save it as an ANSI text file, and then change the file extension to .bat.

    Note

    Refer to the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide and Stsadm.exe Help for the details of the commands operations used in this script.

The server farm described in this paper includes multiple front-end Web servers. The configuration on the remaining front-end Web servers is different, because the servers need to connect to the existing configuration and content databases instead of creating new ones. If your deployment has only one front-end Web server, you can skip to the next section.

The second script (Script 2) does the following:

  • Creates an IIS 6.0 Application Pool for Windows SharePoint Services administration virtual server, configures its ID to STSBeta\STSAdminAcct, and changes the port number to 8080

  • Connects to an existing Windows SharePoint Services configuration database

  • Creates an IIS 6.0 Application Pool for Windows SharePoint Services site virtual server and configures its ID to STSBeta\STSAcct

  • Extends the Windows SharePoint Services virtual server and maps to an existing content database
