Upgrade service applications to SharePoint 2013



Upgrade service applications to SharePoint 2013

Details: Upgrade service applications (Business Connectivity Services, Managed Metadata, Secure Store, User Profiles, Search) to SharePoint 2013.

When you upgrade from SharePoint 2010 Products to SharePoint 2013, you must use a database attach upgrade, which means that you upgrade only the content for your environment and not the configuration settings. After you have configured the SharePoint 2013 environment, and copied the content and service application databases, you can upgrade the service applications to SharePoint 2013. This article contains the steps that you take to upgrade the service applications.

A very useful Article from MS explaining in very detail about the upgrade of the service applications.

Difference between create a new farm and join an existing farm



Difference between create a new farm and join an existing farm

I am writing this topic because, many of the administrators who entered into the SharePoint recently will get this query, what makes difference between them? We see this option after the installation of SharePoint and while running the Products and Technologies wizard.

create a new farm: This option is used to create a new SharePoint installation .(This can be a standalone installation having all the roles (Web front end(WFE), Application server and database server on the same machine). This is where the new configuration DB will be created in SQL

join an existing farm: This option is used to add a new role to an existing SharePoint installation(In farm scenario, we can add an application server or WFE by joining the machine to an existing farm). This is where the server will be connected to already created configuration DB.
