Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is a complicated beast, with more knobs and levels than you can shake a stick at. It’s no wonder we get some of them wrong from time to time. Over the past year and a half of installing SharePoint 2010, I’ve seen quite a few configuration mistakes, mostly at my own hands. In this article, I’ll cover 10 of these errors. I’ll explain what the correct configuration is, why it’s correct, and how to correct the setting in your farm. If you make all the changes in this article, you’ll have the beginnings of a beautiful farm — and one less likely to be ridiculed by your friends and neighbors.

2.1 x SharePoint Server

3.1 x AD Server

Firstly you will need to install SQL 2012 which I am not going to cover here as it is just like installing any other version. Once installed you will need to access the “SQL Server Configuration Manager”.
