86 Part I: Introduction to SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong><br />

Installing SharePoint Portal Server into a Non–Active<br />

Directory Environment<br />

Active Directory is not required for Windows SharePoint Services or SharePoint Portal<br />

Server 2003. However, without Active Directory, you cannot prepopulate <strong>and</strong><br />

synchronize the SharePoint Portal Server profile database with the list of users from<br />

Active Directory, <strong>and</strong> users’ personal sites are not registered for cross-farm synchronization<br />

in a multiserver configuration.<br />

SharePoint Portal Server is supported only on servers that are members of a<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003 domain. Installing<br />

<strong>and</strong> operating a SharePoint Portal Server computer is supported if your server is<br />

a member of a domain or a member of a workgroup. (Domain installations are more<br />

easily administered, however.) All servers in a server farm must be members of the<br />

same domain.<br />

For best results, deploy SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> in an Active<br />

Directory environment.<br />

Uninstalling SharePoint Portal Server 2003<br />

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 can be uninstalled by using Add/Remove Programs.<br />

Removing SharePoint Portal Server does not remove the following items from your<br />

server:<br />

■ Windows SharePoint Services<br />

■ <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server Desktop Engine (if installed)<br />

■ <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server (if installed locally)<br />

■ Component for backward-compatible document libraries.<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> recommends you remove the applications in this order:<br />

1. SharePoint Portal Server<br />

2. Windows SharePoint Services<br />

3. SQL Server Desktop Engine (if installed)<br />

4. SQL Server (if installed locally)<br />

Warning Most files <strong>and</strong> subfolders located in installation folders will be<br />

removed. All <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server databases will be detached, but not<br />

removed, from the database server. When you remove SharePoint Portal<br />

Server, all user data is left in the database files. These files are also left<br />

behind if you remove SQL Server Desktop Engine or <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server.
