  • 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005.

Supported Browser
·         A supported browser is a browser that is known to be 100% compatible with all features and functions in SharePoint 2010. Fully supported browsers include Internet Explorer 7 32-bit and Internet Explorer 8 32-bit. These browsers support all ActiveX controls used in SharePoint 2010 to provide the best and richest editing experience.
·         Supported browsers with known limitations are browsers that can access and use most of the SharePoint 2010 functionality, but there are some components that either will not work or that require a workaround to achieve the same functionality as a fully supported browser, since they may not support all the ActiveX controls used in SharePoint 2010. These browsers also have documentation readily available that lists the known limitations and workarounds. Some of these browsers include 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox 3.6 and higher (on Windows), and Safari 4.04 on Mac OS X 10.6.

Central Administration Site
Any number of websites we create can be managed by this site.  It will also contain the details of the creation of the web application. 
The following sections describe the various categories and what you can do with each
1.       Application management
Application Management is the location from which you manage your web applications and service applications and related items, such as site collections and databases
2.       System Settings
Manage Services, Services, Outgoing/Incoming email settings, Mobile Accounts, Configure alternate access mappings, Farm features, Alternate Access Mappings, User Solutions
3.       Monitoring
Used for Managing Timer Jobs.
4.       Backup and Restore
5.       Security
Used to manage farm administrators group, service accounts, managed accounts, change password settings, web part security, blocked file types.
6.       Upgrade and Migration
7.       General Application Settings



What are Managed Accounts?
1.       SharePoint 2010 introduces the managed account. In short, rather than specifying the user name and password on every occasion, you create a managed account and set the password there. Then, when you need to enter a user account you simply select which managed account to use and you don’t need to know the password.
2.       This also allows farm administrators to set up the service accounts so that others do not need to know the password for the account.
3.       SharePoint 2010 also introduces automatic password change. Simply set the managed account to change the password a number of days before the password expires, and SharePoint will keep and maintain the password for the service account without you having to do anything.
4.       You can also set up alerts so that you are notified before the password expires.
5.       Central Administration à Security à General Security à Configure Manage Accounts
