hi all, is domain environment essential to deployment of moss2007? can i install moss2007 in a workgroup environment? if can, then how? i would like to install moss2007 on my windows2003, while the content database resides on another machine? is it possible? both the machines are in a workgroup environment. thanks.Andrew Chen BI, Data Mining, Analytical CRM

I don't know for sure, but I recall that there was some kind of command line option you could do that would allow this config to work. If you can avoid it, you should. Quick search shows this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fooshen/archive/2007/02/01/installing-moss-without-ad.aspx I wouldn't go that route if you can avoid it, especially for production.--Paul Galvin, Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) Microsoft MVP - SharePoint Blogging @ http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/pagalvin
