Environmental Considerations

SharePoint environments can be complex and distributed across a number of machines. The server farm configuration must be supported by Microsoft. As an example, a distributed SharePoint environment could contain the following components:

• One or more Web-Front-End Servers.
• One or more Application servers with Windows SharePoint Service Help Search service enabled.
• One or more Indexer Server with Office SharePoint Server Search service enabled.
• One or more Database Servers used by SharePoint Server Farm.
