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".

Services

At the beginning you have to start some services.

  • Start the "Windows SharePoint Search Service" and enter the service account (aglaser\WSSsearchService) and the content access account (aglase\WSScontentAccess).

 Services overview page showing the MOSS services. Start the WSS search service.

  • After that start the "Office SharePoint Server Search" and enter the service account (aglaser\MOSSsearchService).
  • Please select "Use this server for indexing content" and "Use this server for serving search queries". Otherwise the configuration is not complete.

Start the MOSS ssearch service. Provide a MOSS search service account.

  • Now you can start the "Excel Calculation Services" (or not). You are finished with the services.

Start the Excel Calculation services. 

Shared Service Provider

  • Go to Shared Services Administration and create a new Share Services Provider (SSP).
  • Create two web applications for the SSP Administration site (aglaser\MOSSsspPool) and the MySite (aglaser\MOSSsspMySite) using the domain accounts specified earlier.

Create a new Shared Service provider. Create a web application for the SSP Administration site and the My Site.

  • After that provide the SSP service account (aglaser\MOSSsspService).
  • After naming the databases using your naming convention you can finish the configuration by clicking OK.

Enter the SSP service account. Use naming conventions to name your database.

  • After that the configuration of the Shared Service Provider is finished.

the configuration of the SSP is finished. Central Administration start page.

Profile Import

  • At the end of this process you should specify the profile import domain account (aglaser\MOSSprofile).

Go to the Shared Service Administration site. Provide an account for the profile import.

Please take a look at Part 8: Pop3, SMTP, Outlook.

Everything works until the last step, when I select "user profiles and properties" in order to do the Profile Import, which then tells me

Error: Access Denied
you are currently signed in as MOSSsspPool
Sign in as a different user?

Apparently a permissions issue, but I'm not sure how to change it.  Any ideas?

Hi,

when I configured the farm and profile import I used the setup admin account... in my case it was "setupAdmin". I can't verify it right now but in general when you configure a SharePoint farm you need an account which can modify administration databases.

The setup admin or the farm account can do so...

Hope it works... andreas

I got the same access denied with the setupadmin account.  I used the domain admin account (to administer) and was able to complete the process.

You didn't cover the Excel account to configure excel services, but I think its pretty straight forward.
