I have been getting this question a lot recently, so I decided I should probably blog it. When you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 using the published document from Microsoft, Windows SharePoint Services is set up as a stand-alone server. This configuration results in Microsoft SQL Server Embedded...
This is the first in a short series of running Windows Sharepoint Services v3 on your SBS 2003 / R2 server.

So, one question that I get asked regularly is if you can use a different name to access your companyweb.

With this post I'm going to go one step further and attack a specific scenario that I seem to be getting more and more questions on - migrating your companyweb SharePoint site from on existing SBS 2003 installation...

Ok - so recently I've been asked several times about using Sharepoint Services as an extranet to securely exchange documents with customers and business partners.

Ok - so I'm overdue with updating everyone on the status of this. The bad news is that I don't have anything concrete for you yet.
