Walkthrough: Deploying AppFabric in a Workgroup Environment

This section describes how to install and configure Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server on multiple computers in a workgroup environment. In this scenario, you will configure the AppFabric Hosting Services feature to use SQL Server data stores, and configure the AppFabric Caching Services feature to use an XML file in a shared file store for configuration information. In a workgroup environment, a SQL Server database is not supported for configuration data for the Caching Services feature, so you must use a shared file store.

Note

A workgroup scenario for AppFabric is not supported for production.

The environment will include the following:

  • Windows 7 with the latest security patches

  • SQL Server 2008 Express Edition

  • .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4

  • Windows PowerShell 2.0
