RE: Database names with GUIDs

2012-08-19 Thread Marko Salonen 
Awesome tool Sezai, works like a charm! Thanks again for pointing it out.

I really need to invest more time in learning to do things via powershell, at 
least those things that can't be easily done via CA or the UI.

Hi Marko,

I would give this tool a try: http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/
It lets you execute a full PowerShell scripted install and you have full 
control over all database names.

I recommend you learn how to use this first on another non-production setup. 
You're going to have to invest a bit of time trying it out and and testing a 
few installs in a non-prod farm first. After that investment of time you should 
be able to spin up future SharePoint farms in a fraction of the time.

Hi

I am currently building my first production non-stand alone SharePoint 2010 
farm. (Yay!)

When running install and config I wanted to use a prefix for my databases, 
something like SP2010_Prod_, which worked great for the _Config 
database, but after running the wixard the rest of them have the horrible GUID 
at the end. Not wanting to start all over, is there a clean workable way to 
rename all the databases, I.E. not just the WSS_Content databases?

Cheers all!

can specify nice database names for all of them, as well as any other

RE: Database names with GUIDs

2012-08-16 Thread Marko Salonen 
Thanks Roger and Sezai

Will look into those, test, and redo the PROD environment as there is no real 
deadline for this to be up.

Regards,

Marko

Hi Marko,

I would give this tool a try: http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/
It lets you execute a full PowerShell scripted install and you have full 
control over all database names.

I recommend you learn how to use this first on another non-production setup. 
You're going to have to invest a bit of time trying it out and and testing a 
few installs in a non-prod farm first. After that investment of time you should 
be able to spin up future SharePoint farms in a fraction of the time.

There are also some good starting points on TechNet with ready built examples:

Hi

I am currently building my first production non-stand alone SharePoint 2010 
farm. (Yay!)

When running install and config I wanted to use a prefix for my databases, 
something like SP2010_Prod_, which worked great for the _Config 
database, but after running the wixard the rest of them have the horrible GUID 
at the end. Not wanting to start all over, is there a clean workable way to 
rename all the databases, I.E. not just the WSS_Content databases?

Cheers all!

RE: Database names with GUIDs

2012-08-16 Thread Roger Carran 
In regards to production builds, PowerShell is really the way to go. You can 
specify nice database names for all of them, as well as any other configuration 
aspect.

If you have deployed some databases already, this article gives a nice way to 
change things: 
http://www.bullspit.co.uk/2011/03/19/sharepoint-2010-change-the-name-of-the-administration-content-database.
