Hi everyone,

I have been tasked with setting up SharePoint 2019 to meet company requirements:

  • Create an intranet site for internal users.
  • Enable access to a file server from SharePoint.
  • Allow users to share files with external clients securely.

Questions:

Which role configuration best suits these requirements (intranet + file server access + file sharing)?

Can I achieve this with a single server setup?

Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    Per my knowledge, Front-end with Distributed Cache MinRole is the best suit to meet these requirements.

    You could refer Planning for a MinRole server deployment and Description of MinRole and associated services articles to get more information.

    The Single-Server Farm MinRole is for development, testing, and limited production tasks. If you are aimed to meet product company requirements, it is not recommended to use Single-Server Farm MinRole.
