We want to enable Excel Services on our sharepoint. I think I have to somehow enable Shared Services. I googled, but on all the pages they say: "On the Application Management page, in the Office SharePoint Server Shared Services section, click Create or configure this farm's shared services."But on our Central Administration site there is no Office Sharepoint Server Shared Services section.On another page is says: On the SharePoint Central Administration Web Site, Click SharedService1 (in the quick launch part under 'Shared Services Adminsitration'). But this link is not on our Central Administration web site.I'm logged in als the System Account of the sharepoint. (tfsservice account). Am I missing something? Or do I have to install something to het Shared Services?

Which exact version of SharePoint have you installed ? Only the Enterprise Edition of MOSS 2007 has Excel Services.FAQ sites: (SP 2010) http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com; (v3) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com and (WSS 2.0) http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com Complete Book Lists (incl. foreign language) on each site.

In addition to Mike's post above, it almost sounds like you have only Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 installed, and not MOSS at all. In WSS there is no Shared Service Provider (so you won't see that 'SharedService1' link).- M - Michael Mukalian - MCTS: MOSS 2007 Configuration - http://www.mukalian.com/blog

no SSP for WSS. if you have MOSS, find your SSP link in Quick Launch area on the left side of the page.

Hi,As they have mentioned above, WSS doesnt have SSP. But if you have installed MOSS, for the excel services to run, you need to create the Shared Services as Excel services are a part of shared services.In the left hand side of the central administration page, there is a quick launch named as "Shared Services Administration". Once you click on that, you see a link "New SSP". click on that and you get to create a new SSP.Once that is created, you can run the excel services, by going to the Operations page in Central administration and then click on the link "Services on server". There you can see the excel services and get it started.Hope this helps..

Ok, I think I know now what the problem is.....The SharePoint is installed along side Team Foundation Server, so I think you all are right to say that MOSS is not installed...Someone else at our company installed TFS (and he is not working anymore at our company), so I do not know what exactly is installed.I think the WSS is installed automatically by TFS, so we do not have MOSS installed.The next question should be, can I install MOSS 'over' the current installation without creating any problems with the installed TFS/SharePoint combination?

I have the MOSS 2010 trial version installed in my server. Do we get the SSP feature in this version or do we need to install the enterprise edition?

Can some one help me in this please???
