I am building a new 3-tier farm.  I have already configured the application and
database servers and am now ready to add another which will be used as the web front
end.

I have already installed the pre-requisites and binaries on the web front end server,
so just need to run a few PowerShell commands to add it to the farm…

 1. Open the _SharePoint Management Shell_
 2. Run the following command (entering the name of your own database server and configuration
    database name):

Connect-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseServer “<DatabaseServer>” -DatabaseName“
<DatabaseName>”

 1. Enter the passphrase when prompted

  Run the following commands:
   * Install-SPHelpCollection -All
   * Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
   * Install-SPService
   * Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
   * Install-SPApplicationContent
  [⌊add server to farm powershell⌉⌊add server to farm powershell⌉[
  add server to farm powershell
  You can run the following PowerShell command to list the servers in the far:
  Get-SPFarm | select Servers
  Or in _Central Administration_ navigate to _System Settings_ -> _Manage Servers
  in This Farm_
  [⌊add server to farm powershell⌉⌊add server to farm powershell⌉[
  add server to farm powershell
