Create a 3-VM SharePoint 2016 farm with PowerShell DSC Extension

This template will create a SharePoint 2016 farm using the PowerShell DSC Extension it creates the following resources:

• A Virtual Network
• Three Storage Accounts
• Two external load balancers
• One VM configured as Domain Controller for a new forest with a single domain
• One VM configured as SQL Server 2014 stand alone
• One VM configured as a one machine SharePoint 2016 farm

One external load balancer creates an RDP NAT rule to allow connectivity to the domain controller VM The second external load balancer creates an RDP NAT rule to allow connectivity to the SharePoint VM To access the SQL VM use the domain controller or the SharePoint VMs as jumpboxes

Prerequisites

• This template requires a SharePoint 2016 with SP1 iso for installing the SharePoint server. If the provided iso does not include SP1 setup will fail. The iso for SharePoint 2016 iso is available for download from the internet on MSDN subscriber downloads, Microsoft Partner Network, or Volume Licensing Service Center. If you don't wish to download the iso from the internet at template deployment time, you can download the iso beforehand place it on a local location where it is reachable for the VMs to download, for example Azure Stack blob storage. You can run the following script on your Azure Stack environment:

  Variables

  $rgname = "isosrg" $saname = "isossa" $containername = "isos" $location = "local" $isoPath = # File path to the iso to upload, for example C:\isos\myiso.iso

  Add specific Azure Stack Environment

  $AadTenantId = #GUID Specific to the AAD Tenant

  Add-AzureRmEnvironment -Name 'Azure Stack' -ActiveDirectoryEndpoint ("https://login.windows.net/$AadTenantId/") -ActiveDirectoryServiceEndpointResourceId "https://azurestack.local-api/" -ResourceManagerEndpoint ("https://api.azurestack.local/") -GalleryEndpoint ("https://gallery.azurestack.local/") ` -GraphEndpoint "https://graph.windows.net/"

  Get Azure Stack Environment Information

  $env = Get-AzureRmEnvironment 'Azure Stack'

  Authenticate to AAD with Azure Stack Environment

  Add-AzureRmAccount -Environment $env -Verbose

  Create a resource group, storage account, and storage container

  New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $rgname -Location $location New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $saname -Type Standard_LRS -Location $location Set-AzureRmCurrentStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgname -StorageAccountName $saname $container = New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $containername -Permission Container

  Upload the blob

  $file = Get-ChildItem -Path $isoPath Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container $containername -File $file.FullName -Blob $file.Name $isodownloaduri = (Get-AzureStorageBlob -Blob $file.Name -Container $containername).ICloudBlob.uri.AbsoluteUri

  This is the value you will use for the sharepoint2016DownloadLink parameter on the SharePoint 2016 template

  $isodownloaduri
