Installing WSS 3.0 on single server

This article documents the installation of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 on a single server, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots from the original installation process.

WSS 3.0 is a retired Microsoft product and is no longer supported. This walkthrough is retained as a historical technical reference for readers researching or maintaining legacy SharePoint environments.

Important: Do not use this procedure to deploy a new production environment. For current collaboration solutions, refer to supported Microsoft SharePoint technologies.


I installed WSS 3.0 on a server the other day. I googled to find the installer package and found out that there was a SP2 slip-streamed package of WSS 3.0. So I downloaded and installed it on the Windows 2003 Server. These are the screens of installation:

SharePoint Designer Workflow Failed to Start - Cancelled by System Account

I read in some blogs that this could cause this issue as well. I tried to check those files in but then I was greeted with a new error! " Cannot perform this operation. The file is no longer checked out or has been deleted ." I had no clue what was happening...

Difference between the architectures of SSPs and SharePoint Service Application

SharePoint 2010 has some new features and components, which help to overcome difficulties such as redundancy and service-sharing that we faced while using SharePoint 2007.  Services in MOSS 2007 were implemented with the help of Shared Service Providers or SSPs. But we cannot use the services of one SSP for another SSP. So each SSP has to have its own set of services and applications, which increases redundant data in the farm.  For example, different managers in the same organization use a SharePoint site to maintain official data associated with an SSP. This SSP is associated with different services, such as Search service, BDC service, and a user profile service. A project manager in this organization requests an exclusive user profile service to maintain project data security. To provide this, we first need to create a separate SSP for the project manager and then a separate service called user profile service - project name. Next, we need to associate the SSP with ...

Document Property disabled under Quick Parts in Word 2010

Document Property under Quick Parts sometimes appears grayed out or disabled in Word client and we can see that Compatibility mode written on the Word client on the top part. This happens because Word disables certain features to make our document compatible with previous versions of Office. To workaround we have to change the compatibility feature. To do that click File on the Word ribbon and select Info. Click on Convert button and click OK on the pop up message. This enables the disabled features and now we can access the Document Properties under Quick Part.
