Database server in SharePoint 2013

In the previous lesson , we have created Active Directory Domain Services on Windows Server 2012 R2 for SharePoint 2013. Now, we should be able to setup the Administrator and Service accounts in Active Directory.


In the Domain Server we create 3 users
  1. Sql Server Service Account                  "SP_SQL"
  2. SharePoint Setup Account                    "SP_ADMIN"
  3. Server Farm/Database Account            "SP_FARM"
To create a new user
  • Open AD Users and Computers snap-in from Server Manager.
  • You can also open AD Users and Computers snap-ins by typing "dsa.msc" on RUN program. 
  • You can open RUN application pressing [Windows Key] + [R] on keyboard.

  • Right-click the Users, click New and click User.
  • Type the first name , last name and logon name. 
  • Now click Next.
  • Type the password. Check password never expires.
Note: Check password never expires is not a good choice but it's suitable for demonstrating.
