Naming conventions/format for various SharePoint 2010 components

As a Architect/Admin, in a day to day activities we are supposed to follow few standards to create SP components like

Service accounts

Web Applications

Service applications

Application pools

Content DBs

Solution Packages

Service accounts

Example – SPSVCQADMIN where SP stands for – SharePoint, SVC stands for Service account, Q stands for QA. Likewise we will use same format for DEV & Production as well by replacing Q with D & P respectively. And password should be different for each account.

Please refer following link for remaining naming conventions – http://christoffervonsabsay.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/naming-conventions-for-sharepoint-2010-environments/

function Get-ScriptDirectory
{
 $Invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation -Scope 1).Value
 Split-Path $Invocation.MyCommand.Path
}
function Deploy-Solution{
param(
[string]$physicalPath,
[string]$name)
$SolutionName = $name
$SolutionPath = Join-Path ($physicalPath) $SolutionName
echo "Extracting information from $physicalPath"
$Solution = Get-SPUserSolution -site $siteURL | Where { ($SolutionName -eq $_.Name) }  -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($Solution -ne $null)
{
    if($Solution.Status -eq "Activated")
    {
    Write-Host 'Poweshell Script will now retract solution:' $SolutionName
    Uninstall-SPUserSolution -Identity $SolutionName -Site $SiteURL -Confirm:$false
    Write-Host 'Successfully retracted solution:' $SolutionName
    }

}
#Get Current Physical Path
$currentPhysicalPath = Get-ScriptDirectory
#Iterate through all .wsp files in the current Physical Path to deploy solution
