Remarks
The Create method of the TopologyManager class creates a configuration database in the topology of a server farm. The Join method of the TopologyManager class registers the local server in the configuration database and makes it the default configuration database for the local server.
To use the properties and methods of the objects in the Topology namespace you must be a member of the local STS_WPG and SPS_WPG security groups, and a member of the db_owner database role for the configuration database.
In addition, for certain methods, such as those that create a portal site, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, and have membership in the Database Creators and Security Administrators server roles in the SQL Server instance that hosts the configuration database.
