Thursday, January 29, 2009 5:40 PM

These notes are in addition to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296362.aspx

These are the notes I generated that I used in overlay with the installation instructions. 

  1. Make sure Cert Server is installed and available
  2. Configure a certificate for ADAM
  3. Run ADAM setup from internet
    · Add/Remove only works if you have the OS disk
  4. Create DNS entries
    · For example: collab and collab.external
  5. Create Collab web app
  6. Reset IIS
  7. Create email address (e.g. SharePoint@yourdomain.com)
  8. Extend to an SSL external (e.g. collab.external)
  9. Create a site collection on the web application
  10. Run ADAM script that comes with kit
  11. Change the ADAM Service account
  12. Run database script
  13. Run SPScript
    Note: ADAM ports are typically 389, 636 or 50000, 50001
  14. Request IIS Cert
