It's been quite awhile since I posted anything. I just started a new position, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be heading up their SharePoint 2003 to 2007 migration. I've been doing a lot of research and reading as much as I can. For the most part, I'm using the "Office SharePoint Server 2007 Administrator's Companion" By Bill English. Bill also wrote the "SharePoint Products and Technologies Resource Kit" Which I've refered to quite a lot in regards to the 2003 portal I set up at my previous job. Bill English. I've been quite confused in regards to creating the Service Accounts used to setup SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007), so I've decided to set up a few VM's, install SQL 2005, a Domain Controller and a SharePoint 2007 portal server. I'll document the process from beginning to end, and hopefully it will help someone else obtain a better understanding of the process. By all means, comment on the article, make suggestions, post your experiences, etc. I'd like it to be a living article that changes with our collective experiences. In addition, I'd like to create several scenerios. Single server install, Small, Medium and Large farm installs as well. With that said, I will begin setting up my initial environment.
