Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2000 Standard or Enterprise Edition with

SharePoint Services, Office 2003 Editions, and FrontPage 2003.

5. During setup, join your computer to a domain.

6. System Activation: After installation, obtain a valid IP address
and connect to the Internet. Click on the system activation icon and select
"Yes, let's activate Windows over the Internet now." Or, if you are not
connected to the Internet, select, "Yes, I want to telephone a customer
service representative to activate Windows." Select "Next." At the "R
register with Microsoft?" screen, decide whether you would like to register.
If you would, follow the instructions on the screen. If you choose not to
register, select "No" and then "Next." When you have successfully activated
the software, click on "Close."

Internet Information Services 6.0 and ASP.NET Installation
IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET are not automatically installed when you install a new
Windows Server 2003 server. Follow these steps to install IIS 6.0 and
ASP.NET.

and then click on "Next" to start the installation; insert the Windows
Server 2003 CD if it is not already in drive. When the splash screens pops
up for additional configuration tasks, click on "Exit."

9. Click on "Finish" on the Completing the Windows Components Wizard.

10. Restart your computer.

Note: To complete the rest of the tour setup, we recommend that your
computer be a member of a domain. You must be logged on as a local computer
administrator. You may use a domain user that has local administrator
privileges, or you may use the local administrator account.

SQL Server 2000 Standard or Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 3

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 supports both Standard and Enterprise Editions
of SQL Server 2000. Follow these steps to install SQL Server 2000 Standard
or Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 3.

Insert the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard or Enterprise Edition CD.

Select "SQL Server 2000 Components" on the autorun screen.

Follow the prompts to create a new instance of SQL Server on your local
computer.

Accept the default settings and click on "Next" until you are prompted to
enter your user information. Enter your name and company and click on
 "Next."

Accept the license agreement and enter your SQL CD key.

On each ensuing screen except the user credentials dialog box, you may
accept the default and select "Next."

On the screen asking for user credentials, "Use domain account" is selected
by default. If you are logged on as a domain user with administrator
privileges, enter that account information here. If you are logged on as the
local administrator account, enter that account information here. In this
case you will enter your computer name in the "Domain" field.

At the end of setup, click on "Finish."

Insert the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 CD, or you can download
SP3 from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp.

Install SP3, accepting all defaults.

At the end of setup, click on "Finish" to restart your computer and complete
the installation.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Installation
The following steps install SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Windows
SharePoint Services and the SQL runtime engine.

Note: Internet Explorer also must be configured to bypass local addresses.
To do this, open Internet Explorer and click on "Tools," then on "Internet
Options." On the Connections tab, click on the "LAN Settings" button. Make
sure the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" checkbox is enabled.
Click on "OK" twice to close Internet Explorer properties. Close Internet
Explorer.

1. Insert the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 CD.

2. On the splash screen, select "Install Microsoft Office SharePoint
Portal Server 2003."

3. On the screen for "Install Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal
Server 2003," the following options should be enabled:

· Windows SharePoint Services Required

· SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Required

· Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) - May Be Required

If all options are OK, select "Next."

4. A dialog box will inform you that certain services on your computer
will be stopped for the installation. Click on "OK" to proceed with the
installation.

Figure 8. Services that will stop during installation

5. Click on "Next" on the first screen in the Welcome to the Microsoft
Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Setup Wizard. This wizard helps you
install Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.

Figure 9. Installation Type and File Location

9. Select "Next."

Select "OK" in the "Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server setup has completed
successfully" dialog box.

I have taken care of this two steps:

a) On the screen asking for user credentials, "Use domain account" is
selected by default. If you are logged on as a domain user with
administrator privileges, enter that account information here. If you are
logged on as the local administrator account, enter that account information
here. In this case you will enter your computer name in the "Domain" field.

b)Note: Internet Explorer also must be configured to bypass local addresses.
To do this, open Internet Explorer and click on "Tools," then on "Internet
Options." On the Connections tab, click on the "LAN Settings" button. Make
sure the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" checkbox is enabled.
Click on "OK" twice to close Internet Explorer properties. Close Internet
Explorer.

I hope that i help you.
