Installation guide for MS Project Server in Windows 2003 Server

[Renaud Montes]

Hi there,

I have just succesfully installed MS Project Server in Windows 2003 server, but I have also
found that the MS Official stuff is somewhat confusing, so I decided to prepare a guide for those
who are in my case:

My scenario:
3 PM
40 Team members
5 Projects

1 Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server (P4 2.5 Ghz, 2G RAM, 30 GB free space)
for MS Project server, STS and SQL Server 2000 SP3a

Here is the link to the guide: http://www.enseit.com/pm/projectserver/

Let me know If you find it helpful

Renaud:

Very nice document, however a few points:

1) Isolation mode is not necessary unless you've got some specific reason other than Project Server
2) You should state that FP extensions should not be installed
3) You specify manual database creation. Why make this more difficult? Automatic from the installation routine works fine.
4) Your account creation recommendation will work only on a single-box installation - you should note this
5) I recommend not installing STS on the default website, you'll regret this when you want to upgrade
6) I suggest installing STS first and then running the normal Project Server install, not the manual approach.
