Installation Issues

 

Strange Error During OS Install

Setting up SharePoint 2016 RTM lab and go this message.  Even though the minimum memory for Windows Server is 512 this error occurs.  So I bumped memory up the 1024 in Hyper-V VM and installed OS with no issue. I used dynamic memory for both DB and DC starting at 1024 and SP started at 8096.

Installation Step Gotchas

Create 3 VMs – NYC-DC1 NYC-SP1 NYC-DB1

Install OS – Rename Servers - Assign IP – Create/Join Domain

DB1 - Add .net framework 3.5 features via Server Manager
SP1 – Temporary Internet Connection for Products Prep Tool

SharePoint 2016 RTM  Demo Product Code Needed:
Product Code – NQGJR-63HC8-XCRQH-MYVCH-3J3QR
Custom Local Server Role

NOTE: SQL Firewall blocks by default

Feb 2016 Update. Having issue with Windows 7 and Onedrive and syncing folder … so downloaded latest onedrive client (not onedrive for business) from here
https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/

I had been using SkyDrive/Onedrive for years no issue, but this Feb 2016 all started to fail.  This Windows 7 machine has had all updates. So I hope the new onedrive install will work. Appears it is now working but syncing from Cloud to Local first … NOTE make sure to backup Local Onedrive folder before using Onedrive! … BAD NEWS New Onedrive is overwriting my local drive … APPEARS that two way sync is broken … so only make changes in the cloud and allow OneDrive to sync your hard drive. (I will update as I learn more)
