One of the important thing to know when we install SharePoint is to select the appropriate options in the “Wizard”. I didn’t knew exactely the difference between “Standalone” and “Server Farm”. I only knew that a “Farm” consists of multiple installation of SharePoint accross a domain, but that was it.

If you ever install SharePoint 2010, it is recommended to alway’s use the “Server Farm” configuration unless you want to install a test/development server. This is because the “Standalone” install everything by itself, including the SQL Express 2008R2. If you want to configure everything properly (user accounts, services,  database, etc.) you must choose the “Server Farm”.

A co-worker asked me to go on the Steven Harman Blog to read the post “When Should I Write Tests“. I strongly suggest you to get there and open the two links he created.
