Explains how to configure a server as a front end server.
Procedure
The Web role is enabled by default on all servers.
On Internet Information Services Manager make sure that the certificate's subject name configured on the https binding matches the hostname that the web clients, web service clients and client tools target.
Enable the Full text indexing role.
Note: We recommend deploying only one full text indexing role per database. If you scale out the front end server, we recommend having one front end server to run the Full text indexing role, and redirecting all other servers to that server.
