-The Setup Wizard has just completed the following:

-To run the configuration wizard later, clear the **Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard now** check box, and then click **Close**. When you are ready to run the configuration wizard, complete the procedure in [How to: Start the SharePoint Products Configuration wizard](how-to-start-the-sharepoint-products-configuration-wizard.md).

-If an error was encountered, the setup process will not be completed and an error will be noted in the Setup log file. The Setup log file is stored in the temp directory for the user account that is running setup (%USERTEMP% or %WINDIR%\Users\user account\AppData\Local\Temp) and is named "SharePoint Server Setup (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSrandomnumber).log" where YYYYMMDD is the date and HHMMSS is the time (hours in 24-hour clock format, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds) and the random number is used to differentiate between possible simultaneous attempts to run the setup program. You can review the log file for error messages. After you understand why the error occurred, you can address the issue, and then you can run Setup again .

-The configuration settings that you entered are displayed, and then you can click **Finish** to close the configuration wizard. The SharePoint Central Administration site is displayed in your web browser.

-If you are performing a repair, click **Close** to exit the configuration wizard.

-When you choose **Uninstall** from **Uninstall or change a program**, the Setup Wizard starts and attempts to uninstall the product. If an error is encountered, the uninstall process will not complete and the error will be noted in the setup log file.

-If you exit Setup when an error is encountered, the binary files will not be removed. However, tasks that were successfully completed will not be undone. This approach will enable you to restore the server to working condition by running the configuration wizard in **Repair** mode.

-With the binary files removed, you will not be able to use the configuration wizard to clean up the configuration settings on the local computer or in the configuration database.

-If the configuration wizard encounters an error while executing a configuration task, the wizard does not proceed to additional configuration tasks. The Configuration Complete page appears with a configuration failure message and a link to the log file that you can use to troubleshoot the issue that caused the failure.

-If you cancel the configuration wizard, the configuration tasks that have completed are not undone; the remaining configuration tasks must be performed to complete the deployment of the server. To perform the remaining configuration tasks, you must run the configuration wizard again later.

-If you are updating a server farm, you must use the following process:

-3. When all servers in the farm display the message, return to the first web server, and then click **OK** to continue the upgrade process for the first server.

-To deploy SharePoint products in a server farm environment, you will need a user account that you can use to install the product and run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard. This account must be a unique domain user account that you can specify as the service account. This user account is used to access your configuration database. The database access account will be used for both initial database configuration, and ongoing connections from servers in this farm to the databases.

-This account also acts as the application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration application pool and it is the account under which the SharePoint Timer service runs. We recommend that you follow the principle of least privilege and do not make this user account a member of any particular security group on your web servers or your database servers.

-Use the **Completing the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard** page to confirm the database and the Central Administration web application settings that you have entered.

-Confirm that the settings are correct, and then click **Next** to continue.

-Click **Advanced Settings** to enable Active Directory account creation mode. For more information, see [Advanced settings](advanced-settings.md).

-You can create a new server farm or manage the connection to an existing SharePoint farm. You must provide the database server name, the database name, and the credentials for a user account that will be used for database access. If you are connecting to an existing farm, you will also have to specify a passphrase to use to connect to the farm. For more information, see [Specify farm security settings](specify-farm-security-settings.md).

-All the servers in the farm must use the same configuration database. If the database does not exist, a new database will be created. If the database name is the same as an existing database, the database must not contain any tables, stored procedures, or other objects.

-The configuration wizard checks for an existing connection to a configuration database. If a connection does not exist, a new server farm is created. If a connection exists, settings are not modified.

-When you manage the database connection to an existing server farm, the configuration wizard ensures that one or more SharePoint Central Administration web site exist in the server farm and are registered in the configuration database. This is designed to prevent a situation where a server farm exists but a SharePoint Central Administration web site is not installed to manage the installation.

-If the computer you are disconnecting has a SharePoint Central Administration web site, it is removed, and the entry in the configuration database is removed.

-You can start the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard at any time after you have completed the Setup Wizard.

-1. Go to **Start** -> **All Programs** -> **SharePoint \<version\>**, and then click **SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard**.

- Where \<version\> is the current version of your product.

-If you want to disconnect this computer from this server farm, select **Disconnect from this server farm**, and then click **Next**. When the configuration wizard completes, this computer will no longer host the SharePoint Central Administration web site and will immediately be removed from the SharePoint server farm.

-You can run the configuration wizard later to join the computer to another server farm .

-description: "Summary: Learn how remove the SharePoint Central Administration web application in SharePoint Server."

- **Summary:** Learn how remove the SharePoint Central Administration web application in SharePoint Server.

-You can use the options on this page to keep or remove the SharePoint Central Administration web application .

-If you are certain that the existing default SharePoint web site is not required, you can disable the existing site and create a new one on port 80, or you can choose a different port on which to host the new site .

-|**/config [path and file name]** <br/> |Specifies the configuration file that Setup.exe uses during the installation. By default, the Config.xml file stored in the core product folder directs Setup.exe to install that product. You can edit the Config.xml file to make additional customizations to the installation or you can point to a different configuration file. <br/> Use **/config** on the Setup command line to point to the location of the default Config.xml file for a particular product or to point to a custom configuration file. <br/> **Examples** <br/> To point to a customized config.xml file: <br/> **\\server\share\setup.exe /config** <br/> **\\server\share\folder\Config.xml** <br/> where _folder_ is the folder that contains the Config.xml file. Or, to point to a different configuration file: <br/> **\\server\share\setup.exe /config** <br/> **\\server\share\configfiles\oserver-quiet.xml** <br/> **NOTE**: You must use a full path. Setup.exe does not recognize relative paths that contain **/config**. <br/> |

-|**/repair [** _ProductID_ **]** <br/> |Runs Setup.exe to repair the files that are needed for a specified product. Look up the value of [ _ProductID_] in the Setup.xml file for the product that you want to modify. Running Setup.exe in repair mode only affects the program files, and does not repair your server configuration or any sites. <br/> **NOTE**: You should also run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard after you run **Setup.exe /repair** to complete the repair of the configuration. If you are using a stand-alone configuration, you can run **Psconfig.exe -setup** from a command line to repair the configuration instead of using the wizard. If you are in a server farm configuration, you should use the full wizard interface. For more information, see the Help for the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard. <br/> **Example** <br/> **\\server\share\setup.exe /repair OServer** <br/> |

-1. On the drive which contains the product DVD, change to the root directory to locate the Setup.exe file.

-description: "Summary: Learn how to use a passphrase in SharePoint Server ."

-Although a pass phrase is similar to a password, it is usually longer to enhance security. It is used to encrypt credentials of accounts that are registered in SharePoint products, for example, the system account that you provide when you run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard. Ensure that you remember the pass phrase, because you must use it each time you add a server to the farm.

-You can change the passphrase after the farm has been configured by running the **Set-SPPassphrase** cmdlet in Microsoft PowerShell. By default, the new passphrase will be deployed across all servers in the farm. However, if there is a failure in the deployment of the new passphrase, you must manually update the passphrase on the individual server on which the deployment failed.

-The SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard performs basic tasks that require minimal user input and that must be performed to start SharePoint Central Administration, or that cannot be performed anywhere else.

-The configuration wizard might have to start, stop, or reset the SharePoint Administration Service, the SharePoint Timer Service, Internet Information Services (IIS), and services from other applications that depend on SharePoint Server and are appropriately registered.

-To interrupt server operations, click **No** to exit the configuration wizard.

-After the configuration wizard is completed, the services that are required to run Central Administration are enabled. Then, you must use Central Administration to configure your site.

-Appropriate administrative credentials on the servers on which you are installing and a domain account to use as the service account.

-There are six predefined server roles you can choose. For additional information about server roles, see [MinRole overview](../install/overview-of-minrole-server-roles-in-sharepoint-server.md).

-When you repair an installation, the files that were installed are verified, missing components are detected, and then the configuration is repaired.

-Deploy cumulative updates and service packs for SharePoint products by using the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard. The SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard is not used to deploy major upgrades for a server farm.

-After you apply an update, such as a service pack or cumulative update, you run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard to upgrade the farm to the new version. All servers in the farm must be updated to the same version and must have the same products and language packs installed before you can run the configuration wizard. If any servers in your farm were not updated, the **Farm Product and Patch Status** page appears and lists the current status for each server in the farm. From this page, you can determine which servers have to be updated. To update your servers, exit the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard, run the update on the servers that have to be updated, and then run the configuration wizard again.

-If you are upgrading a server farm to apply an update, you must use the following process:

-3. When all servers in the farm display the message, return to the first web server, and then click **OK** to continue the upgrade process for the first server.

-Ensure the Max degree of parallelism is set to 1. For additional information about max degree of parallelism see, [Configure the max degree of parallelism Server Configuration Option](/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/configure-the-max-degree-of-parallelism-server-configuration-option?view=sql-server-2017).
