Preparing Workgroup Computers for Installing AppFabric

This topic describes the steps you should take to prepare multiple computers in a workgroup for an installation of the Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server Hosting Services feature and Caching Services feature. Perform the following steps on the computers in the workgroup.

To prepare the first computer in the workgroup for AppFabric installation

  1. Install Windows 7.

  2. Install Windows updates by clicking Start, pointing to All Programs, clicking Windows Update, and then following the directions on the Windows Update site.

  3. Install hotfix KB 980423 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=185864).

  4. Install the .NET Framework 4 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177666).

    Note

    If you install the .NET Framework 4 before enabling HTTP Activation, you need to run the ASP.NET repair tool. The command is %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30128\aspnet_regiis.exe -iru.

    Note

    Windows PowerShell 2.0 is installed with Windows 7.

  5. Install SQL Server 2008 Express by going to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177674.

  6. Create the MYAPPFABRIC workgroup and join the computer to the workgroup by opening the System dialog box, clicking Change settings, clicking Change, and entering MYAPPFABRIC in Workgroup.

  7. Create a MyHostingAdmin user account and a MyCachingAdmin user account with administrative privileges, and password-protect each account. Add the MyCachingAdmin user account to the Administrators group on the local computer.

    Note

    The MyCachingAdmin user account must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.

  8. Create a MyHostingUser user account, a MyHostingObserver user account, and a MyCachingUser user account as standard users, and password-protect each account. These are the accounts that will serve as the identity of the services.

    Note

    Note the names of the user accounts and passwords so you can create the same user accounts with the same passwords on the second and subsequent computers in the workgroup.

  9. Create a folder to contain the XML file that will contain configuration information for the Caching Services. Grant read-write access to the MyCachingAdmin user account, and full access to the MyCachingUser user account. Do so by right-clicking the folder and then clicking Properties; clicking Sharing and then Advanced Sharing; clicking Share this folder and then Permissions. Add the MyCachingAdmin user, and then click Allow for Full Control. Add MyCachingUser and then click Allow for Read.

    Note

    The file share for the .xml file that will contain caching configuration information only needs to be created on this computer.

  10. Set up SQL Server and the Windows firewall for remote connections. For more information, go to Configuring the Windows Firewall to Allow SQL Server Access (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=94001).

To prepare the second and subsequent computers in the workgroup for AppFabric installation

  1. Install Windows 7.

  2. Install Windows updates by clicking Start, pointing to All Programs, clicking Windows Update, and then following the directions on the Windows Update site.

  3. Install hotfix KB 980423 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=185864).

  4. Enable WCF HTTP and non-HTTP activation by opening Control Panel, clicking Programs and Features, clicking Turn Windows features on or off, opening Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, and then selecting Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation and Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation. Click OK.

    Note

    Enabling WCF HTTP activation and non-HTTP activation enables the Windows Process Activation service and Internet Information Services.

  5. Install the .NET Framework 4 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177666).

    Note

    Windows PowerShell 2.0 is installed with Windows 7.

  6. Install SQL Server 2008 Express by going to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177674.

  7. Join the computer to the MYAPPFABRIC workgroup by opening the System dialog box in Control Panel, clicking Change settings, clicking Change, and entering MYAPPFABRIC in Workgroup.

  8. Using the same user names and passwords as you did on the first computer, create a MyHostingAdmin user account and a MyCachingAdmin user account with administrative privileges. Add MyCachingAdmin to the Administrators group on the local computer.

    Note

    The MyCachingAdmin user account must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer. The MyHostingAdmin user account does not have to be a member of the Administrators group, and can be removed from that group.

  9. Using the same user names and passwords as you did on the first computer, create a MyHostingUser user account, a MyHostingObserver user account, and a MyCachingUser user account as standard users, and password-protect each account. These are the accounts that will serve as the identity of the services.

    Note

    When you create the user accounts on the second and subsequent computers in the workgroup, you must use the same user names and passwords as you did on the first computer.
