Microsoft office SharePoint Server (MOSS) – part4
Now install SharePoint Server.
>since we are practicing it on Microsoft Virtual PC , remember that capture the respective ISO image for installation of respective server.
>capture SharePoint Server ISO
>give ISO path of SharePoint Server.
>it asks to again install asp.net 2.0, so again install asp.net 2.0
>repair
>now capture the ISO image of SharePoint Server
>it asks for serial key , give the key.
>Install Basic mode (single server standalone using default settings.
Now , if you go to All Programs (list of programs in start menu)
>SharePoint office server

>test the configuration from the central admin.
>login from administrator of Active Directory (AD).
>add your site to trusted site list (so that it can be displayed well on your browser)
>Now , central administrator opens
NOTE# take care of the virtual memory , since I am writing this blog based on practice on Microsoft Virtual PC (virtual machine) , it may have issues of virtual memory which might halt the execution.
Now the last and important server to install is exchange server 2003. Exchange server is installed for mail server (email services).
>capture Exchange server ISO image.
>click Exchange server deployment tools.
>deploy the first Exchange server.
>select new exchange 2003.
>from the list of components we need to install only 6,7 and 8.
>after clicking next it processes steps 6 and then step 7 and 8 one-by-one.
>in step 6. click run forest prep now . then click next .
>in step 8. create a new Exchange organization.
>give organization name. next.
>step 8 about to complete.
> Microsoft exchange , Microsoft search , Microsoft Exchange forest prep , Microsoft exchange messaging and collaborating services , Microsoft exchange system and management tools were installed.
Now , earlier after we installed SharePoint server , we opened central administration page.
so this is the main page where the administrator can administer centrally by doing following :
>Administrator can create new document library.
so that file sharing becomes much more easier in that respective institution, school or company.
>can create SharePoint site, under site actions tab.
>can configure incoming email settings
to do this you (administrator) need to enable sites on respective server to receive email. Enable SharePoint directory management service to create distribution groups (for example sub-organizational unit OU)
>can configure outgoing emails.
for example: if domain is test.com then administrator can configure email as administrator@test.com and receive or send email through this email. And others can get email as a@test.com , b@test.com and so on.
Forefront Security can be used as recommended security and protection for MOSS 2007.
