Project Sever 2007 & Small Business Server

Hi All,

I was just wondering if MS Project Server 2007 is alright to install on a
Windows Small Business Server 2003 machine?

Thanks in advance,

Carson

HI Carson,

I can't confirm for sure if it possible to install n SBS but I would advise
against this anyway.

SBS, by design, runs pretty much everything a small company requires. It
will act as a DC, DHCP, DNS/WINS server as well as runnig Active Directory.
In addition to these tasks it then also the SQL and Exchange server componets
as well.

If you consider the above and then add on Project Server, Sharepoint/IIS and
the SQL requirements I think the server would be overloaded and become
unresponsive.

If you're just looking to play around with with Project Server and to have
look at what it can do then any fairly decent server would suffice. You can
run all of the components on the same server so you wouldn't need to worry
about a server farm or anything.

The first server I tested PS 2007 on was a 3-4 year old Xeon system and it
run well enough for me to trial and test on.

Hi Jason,

With the setup we have at this moment, I can access Project through a
virtual server and test out the functionality without problems. The previous
question was just focusing on running it as a package within one server.
Running both SBS and PS2007 would require me to have 2 versions of SharePoint
installed simultaniously...

Is it possible to run both within the same machine without to many
complications?

I have it installed and runnign on a clients server right now. We are
running 4 Gb of RAM, and are running Sharepoint 2.0 side by side with
Sharepoint 3.0. I do have Project Running on the 3.0 webserver. The
big thing witht his install is that when you setup Sharepoint 2.0, you
have to choose "NOT TO UPGRADE". This will install the Sharepoint in
3.0 mode. I am still having a few small issues getting the
intergrated security to work, but I should have that figured out
today...
