Hi Andreas,
Really helpful set of print screens and great guide! Hope to see part 9 as I have to move to 2010 from WSS 2007 on Win2003 R2 I don't know if I'll create a new farm on Win2008 R2 and link to actual database or just export all sites and import into new farm.
What do you think?

Hey thanks for the feedback... :)

I will continue in May with part 9 and I'm really exited about that since it's a lot of writing.

Its may
I'm interested in this and installing office web apps 2010
I'v heard that sharepoint is needed for Office web apps 2010 so would it be possible to add their install to this?

Great post - thank you!

On our domain, I ran into a problem when trying to create the SharePoint_Config database. It gave me this error similar to this:
"sharepoint exception type system.collection.generic.keynotfoundexception sharepoint 2010"

Issue turned out to be a security issue for my farm account user. This article was helpful:

Awesome walk-through. I spent hours trying to use "other sources" to get this set up going, to no avail. Your tutorial takes the cake on easy implementation.

If I could add one thing (I didn't see it listed, so pardon me if I am repeating) - I am actually using a slightly different setup. I have my Sharepoint 2010 install on Server 2008 R2 and am using SQL 2008 Express R2 (my site is not going to be that big at all). I was having issues at the initial set up of the configuration database that told me either the database could not be found or the user did not have access. After much hair pulling, I finally discovered that by default in SQL Express, the SQL Browser is disabled. You have to do into Services - enable and start the browser.

I also ran the script on this page to open the firewall - www.sharepointforum.com/.../...harepoint-2010.aspx

It works really well.

Finally, I had to specify port 1433 under TCP/IP Connection properties under ALL IP.

Hope that can help someone else! Thanks!
