Hi,
I am trying to setup a SharePoint 2013 farm using only PowerShell. I don't want to setup anything else except for the Central Administration web application. I also want to specify the SP2013 services account.
When you run the Farm Configuration Wizard after you setup the CA, this wizard does three things. First it configures the SharePoint default services account
(Services require an account to operate. For security reasons, it is recommended that you use an account that's different from the farm admin account) |
Second, it is possible to deploy service applications(for now I don't install any of those) .
Third, it automatically created a new Web Application(content DB is called WSS Content) and it asks you to create a new site collection(This is the part that I hate, it creates a new DB with a standard name, creating confusion for DBA's).
What I want to accomplish:
I want to create a PowerShell script to setup the default services account only.
I don't want to deploy any service application.
I don't want to create any web application or site collection.
Questions:
Is anyone able to explain where this services account configured during the farm configuration wizard will be used? I checked the services already deployed and those run under the farm account even after this wizard. Do I have to change them to use the new account?
Under which account should the SharePoint Timer Service run?
In general, do you have a very detailed guide about which service accounts to be used where and the steps required during the farm configuration?
