This article is a part of a series describing the installation of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) on a Windows Server 2008 with the newly released SQL Server 2008. Please have a look at "Installing MOSS 2007 on Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 - Part 1: Overview".

Right now I'm working on the MOSS 2007 image.

• Add the "Application Server" role to your server and add the required features.
• You don't have to add the server role. You can also add the .NET Framework 3.0 Features. I have selected the server role for this demonstration.

• After that select the "Web Server (IIS)" server role.
• Skip the role services for the Application Server.

• Select the ASP.NET role service and add the required features.
• Your selected role services might look like that. Note that you might need more services for a production environment.

• Select "Basic Authentication" and "Windows Authentication".
• Click next until the wizard has finished the installation process.

Please take a look at Part 6: Installing MOSS 2007.
