Chapter 3: Installing <strong>Microsoft</strong> Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 59<br />

■ <strong>Microsoft</strong> Site Server (any version)<br />

■ Office Server Extensions<br />

■ <strong>Microsoft</strong> FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE)<br />

Uninstall the conflicting products before installing SharePoint Portal Server<br />

2003. In some cases, you can make the conflicting products work together (such as<br />

FPSE); see Technet for more detailed information.<br />

Ensure the Account Performing the Installation Has Authority<br />

When preparing for an installation of SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you must<br />

ensure that the account with which you log on to the server has either local administrator<br />

or Domain Admin privileges before continuing. In addition, the account that<br />

you’ll specify for SQL Server during setup will also need to be a member of the<br />

Power Users group (if installing on a Member Server) or the Built-In Administrators<br />

group (if installing on a Domain Controller).<br />

Third-Party Database Interoperability<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server 2000 is the only database product that SharePoint Portal Server<br />

can use to store the SharePoint Portal Server configuration <strong>and</strong> content databases;<br />

however, it can connect to almost any third-party database products to store Web<br />

Part information.<br />

Using the Database Engine Option on a Domain Controller<br />

The <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL Server Database Engine (MSDE) option is not available when<br />

installing SharePoint Portal Server on a domain controller. If you are to install Share-<br />

Point Portal Server on a domain controller, you must either first install SQL Server<br />

2000 Service Pack 3 on the domain controller itself or use a remote server running<br />

SQL Server 2000. If you require MSDE as the database repository, configure the<br />

server running Windows Server 2003 as a member server of a domain.<br />

More Info Best practices are to not run applications such as SharePoint<br />

Portal Server 2003 on domain controllers. Following best practices in this<br />

regard prevents performance issues that can result from processes competing<br />

for resources <strong>and</strong> provides more in-depth security.
