DeliverPoint Configuration Wizard

The DeliverPoint Configuration Wizard provides a user interface that presents information on how to configure the installation and obtains information from you about the pending installation process. Ensure you read each screen carefully before clicking Next to move to the next screen.

!You must be logged on to the SharePoint Server, where you installed the DeliverPoint binaries, as a SharePoint farm administrator account so you can grant the Service Account permissions as needed.

Before you start the DeliverPoint configuration process, be sure to complete the following:

• Install the DeliverPoint binaries.
  
  
• Create a Active Directory (AD) username for the DeliverPoint service account, and ensure that it is NOT disabled in AD.
  
  
• Inform your database administrator (DBA) that the DeliverPoint configuration wizard will create a new database, and ensure the Service Account has the dbcreator and securityadmin server role on the SQL Server where the database is to be created.
  
  
• Grant the service account Full Control on each web application. Configuring a User Policy on each Web Application is the easiest method of allowing the DeliverPoint access all data. However, adding or updating Web application policy with new users or groups will trigger a SharePoint Search crawl over all content covered by that policy. This can reduce search crawl freshness and increase crawl load. Consider using security groups at the policy level and add/remove users from security groups to avoid this.
  
  
• Confirm the SharePoint Administration (SPAdminV4) service is running successfully on all your Web Front-ends.
