Installation of SharePoint portal server 2003 can become a bit trouble some if you do not follow a hidden procedure. Sometimes these issues may not occur, but you may never what’s in for you. To use SharePoint in an intranet environment, there are some rules or rather precautions to be followed. I have encountered a lot of problem during installation and portal site creation of SharePoint portal 2003 server and I ‘d like to share some of them.
Now once you have decided to use SharePoint portal 2003 server for your applications, make sure you meet the system requirements. Though a Pentium III processor with 256 MB RAM can run the application, but it is really difficult to pace up your application development. The ideal requirement for development must be Pentium IV with 1 GB RAM. This is a serious issue if you want your server should be fast and efficient
To integrate Active Directory services (ADS) on your portal, the installation procedure must start when the server is in domain. Make sure ,your server is in a desired domain and then install SharePoint portal 2003 server.
I followed a simple rule during installation, first install windows 2003 server operating system, then SQL server (SQL server 2000 as I haven’t used 2005 yet) then FrontPage 2003 and finally install SharePoint2003 server.
One more important point to be kept in mind, make sure that you are installing proper service packs of SharePoint 2003 server. The error will not occur till the time you try to restore a portal site created on SPP 2003 SP1, on a SPP 2003 SP2 server. You also have to install windows SharePoint services SP2 to install SPP 2003 SP1

Hi,
Hmm i read the doc. its good u are sharing ur experience .
keep going
kash mein kuch comment kar sakta
but i dont know abt it .
I have share point 2003 server with out active directory. Now I want to install AD on that server and want to know whether there will be any impact of that installation on the existing share point sites on that server?
Other alternate also wants to know is if AD is installed on some other server and later want to integrate it with existing sites what is the impact?
Hi Ravi,
Installing AD on your server with sharePoint will not hamper any existing sites. Do take regular backups of sites so that even if somethings turn bad, you have all the data safe with you.
Integrating AD on another server will not be a problem as far as I see the things from here.
Disclaimer: These are my view points
nice article dude!
