My Fresh install of a MOSS 2007 with SP1

Hi all,

These are the steps I take now for generating a fresh install of a MOSS 2007 server with the newly released SP1. My original idea was to slipstream the SP1 into the MOSS installation files, but I realized that you still need to install WSS 3.0 Service Pack 1 first.

So for me the following steps apply whe I install a new MOSS Server on a Windows Server 2003 machine:

• Install IIS 6.0
• enable .NET in IIS
• use the commandline C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -enable -r on 32-bit systems
• use the commandline C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -enable -r on 64-bit systems
• Install .Net Framework 3.0
• Install MOSS 2007 - Do not run Configuration Wizard
• Add C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN to System PATH Environment variable
• Install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 (kb936988) -  Do not run Configuration Wizard (or close it when it appears after the update)
• Install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (kb936984)
• Run Configuration Wizard.
