Software Requirements For SharePoint 2010

Whether you are starting a new SharePoint 2010 environment or migrating pre-existing SharePoint 2007 content, proper preparation and planning is key to building a solid collaboration platform that will grow with your organization. As we previously discussed in Hardware Requirements For SharePoint 2010 post, the most important requirement you should know before beginning your SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint Foundation 2010 environment is that SharePoint can only run on a 64-bit server with 64-bit (x64) software. The following software requirements you should be considered before building your SharePoint environment:

64-bit Software

With all the new features and improvements incorporated into SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft had to move to a 64-bit architecture to support the intense processing power required for medium to large scale deployments. The benefits of using a 64-bit software with a 64-bit server is the ability to access physical memory (RAM) above 4 gigabytes (GB) and process two times the number of bits a 32-bit processor can process in one computation. To take full advantage of the increased performance of a 64-bit server both the operating system and applications must 64-bit or x64 to be optimized for the processor and memory.

Supported Operating Systems

SharePoint 2010 is only supported on a 64-bit server with a 64-bit (x64) version of Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2. SharePoint is not supported on "Server Core"installations of Windows Server 2008 and R2 as it does not contain some of the components required for SharePoint to be configured or run.

It is also possible to install SharePoint 2010 on 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7, however it is only recommended for development environments as upgrading to future SharePoint versions will not be supported. You will want to make sure that you install either Business or Professional editions of Windows. For more information on supported operating systems visit the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog or the TechNet Library.

Required Pre-installation Server Software

Before installing SharePoint 2010 it is important to install the following service packs, cumulative updates, and hot fixes on your server:

Optional Server Applications

The following server applications are not required to install SharePoint 2010, however they can provide additional robust functionality that can be integrated into your environment:

SQL Server

SharePoint 2010 installs SQL Server Express as part of the standalone installation and includes a database engine, reporting, and a database management application. SQL Server Express only utilizes 1 physical processor (including multiples cores), up to 1 GB RAM, and up to 4 GB storage to support development and small-scale environments. If you decide to use SQL Server Express you should install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition Service Pack 1.

For medium to large scale SharePoint environments, I highly recommend installing a retail version of 64-bit SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 for performance and scalability into the future. Standard and Enterprise editions of SQL Server are able to support the maximum amount of RAM install in your server and has no limit on the data base size. The Enterprise edition of SQL Server will also allow partitioning, parallel index operations, and indexed views. The following service packs (SP), cumulative updates, and hot fixes should be installed for SQL Server before installing SharePoint 2010:

64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2005

64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Microsoft Server Speech Platform

Another optional application that can be installed as part of your SharePoint deployment is Microsoft Server Speech Platform that performs speech recognition and speech synthesis for applications. Microsoft Server Speech Platform is used in SharePoint 2010 for its phonetic matching (matching words based on how they sound) capabilities. Microsoft Server Speech Platform supports English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and German phonetic matching. The following files should be installed before installed SharePoint 2010:

Additionally, you should update the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSpeech Serverv10.0RecognizersTokensSR_MS__TELE_10.0Attributes] registry key for every language that you install. Click Start, and then run regedit. Find the registry key, and then update the Vendor value to Microsoft Corporation. The following is the language codes for each speech recognition pack:

English : 1033
French : 1036
Spanish: 1034
German: 1031
Japanese: 1041
Chinese: 2052

Client Machine Software

Taking into consideration what is installed on client machines is just as important for planning the software requirements for your servers. The following are areas you should consider about software on your company’s client machines:

Web Browser Support

SharePoint 2010 offers a two tiered level of support for standard XHTML 1.0 compliant web browsers. Level 1 web browsers are able to take advantage of Active X controls and are able to use all the functionality SharePoint has to provide. Level 1 web browsers include:

Operating System	Browser
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008	Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit), Mozilla Firefox 3.5*
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2	Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit), Firefox 3.5

*Some ActiveX features, such as list Datasheet view and the control that displays user presence information, do not work in Mozilla Firefox 3.5. Note: The level 1 web browser requirements above can be found on Microsoft TechNet website at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc263526%28office.14%29.aspx.

Level 2 web browsers not take advantage of Active X controls and are provide basic functionality to read, write, and administrate SharePoint sites. Level 2 web browsers include:

Operating System	Browser
Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard	Apple Safari 4.x, Mozilla Firefox 3.5
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008	Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit)
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2	Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit)
UNIX/Linux 8.1	Firefox 3.5

Note: The level 2 web browser requirements above can be found on Microsoft TechNet website at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc263526%28office.14%29.aspx.

Web browsers that are not included in the tabled above are not considered by Microsoft to be tested and supported with SharePoint 2010. You will notice that Microsoft has decided not to support IE 6. From at Internet prospective users will still be able to access your web content with fewer issues because of the high level of control you have over the markup through master pages, page layouts, and CSS styles. Problems will arise is when users with unsupported browsers try to author content and use administrative features within SharePoint.
