Yesterday was a fairly productive day for myself. Finally, with a fully updated version of Windows Server 2003, I was able to install SQL Server 2008 and SharePoint Server on the VM.
The SQL Server installation went perfect. All that was needed was to create an account (a non-admin account) that SQL Server could use for starting the database services on the server. Other than creating this, all features were selected for installation, and all went without a hitch.
SharePoint Server was then installed without an issue. One thing I recommend when installing SharePoint is to not do it in stand-alone mode (where it installs its own express version of SQL Server). I attempted this about a week ago and was continuously having issues with setting it up. It would always fail when SharePoint would attempt to create dummy data.
After avoiding this option, everything was installed fine. I am in the process of configuring everything on the SharePoint. At the moment, I have a very quick test site up, but I am trying to figure out if I can get it to operate over port 80 versus the random ports that are assigned to it (upon creation). Also, anyone have any good suggestions or their own tips and tricks for configuring SharePoint?
If so, definitely share.
