Web and Application Server Preparation
Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 provide the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool (PrerequisiteInstaller.exe) to streamline the deployment of both installation and configuration of prerequisite requirements to support product installation.
PrerequisiteInstaller.exe can be executed from the installation source to install and configure the prerequisites required for the successful installation of Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010. The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool requires an Internet connection to download updates that are not included on the installation media, if the Web or application servers do not have Internet connectivity, the updates can be downloaded and installed manually.
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool will also provision and configure the Web and Application Server roles on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 servers.
