2/18/2008
Ok so to clarrify a bit on the title, in order to implement Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a new Windows Server 2008 Environment a requirement is SP1. Microsoft doesnt provide this installer (YET) but fortunitly the steps are pretty easy.
In this short ScreenCast I will show you the steps needed to build this installer. Note that I build this using PowerShell but the same procedure can be done via your old fashioned :) Cmd.exe... Im on a PS kick these days so i am forcing myself to use that shell exclusivly.
My buddy Ben Curry wrote a decent step by step on this but me being the visual type I felt it was time to break out the Camtasia Studio again. One other thing to add is the fact that this doesnt just pertain to installing onto Windows Server 2008... this method can also be used for Windows 2003. The basic idea is you have a new install and want to get as much done at one time as possible... instead of doing your install and circling around afterwards to install the updates.
What I dont show in this demo is the install process... basically its all done behind the scenes....if you have installed MOSS in the past it may seem like its going a bit longer.... you will also notice that is because it stops on the Updating folder and then installs in one sweep. The folder I created called MOSSlip is the folder that now contains the excecutable to build your install so run from there. The other 2 folders OSSlip and WSSlip are not needed so you can safely remove them.
NOTE: Some have in the past had trouble opening WMV files and were prompted for creds..... you can simply download the wmv file from my Video's Folder on the front page and play it on your desktop. I will be uploading this to boobtube shortly so it will also play in the SilverLight App on my homepage. |
