I have a server who's purpose is to put together a sample portfolio for
training purposes. It will consists of maybe 15 fictional people and
somewhere between 5-12 projects. I realize that it is desirable to use
domain accounts, however, in this case, I would prefer to use local machine
accounts.

My question to the senior readers of the group is: by using the local
accounts, will this cause any problems? Maybe if a problem with local
accounts popped up, I could always convert local accounts to domain accounts?

I am asking because I hope to avoid creating problems.

Forms based authentication provides a good mechanism for setting up
test accounts. See this article:

Thanks for pointing out another option. Is there a benefit to using a store
in SQL server over a local server account?

"To configure the SQL Membership Provider for Office Project Server 2007, you
must install Office Project Server 2007 in a server farm configuration
(versus a Basic installation) and must have a working Project Web Access
site."

If I have the enteire MSPS 07 on one server than, I believe it is NOT
running in a server farm configuration (let me know if this is not true).

One box is not a problem it simplys depends on whether you installed
the system in a farm or stand alone mode. Stand alone mode uses SQL
server express as the database server. If you have a full copy of SQL
available you can reinstall Sharepoint in a farm environment.

We have not noticed any issues with local accounts, and we use it
quite extensively on stand-alone VPC installations...
