2003 SBS Sharepoint??

[hacht]

My question is hopefully simple.

I just installed a Windows 2003 SBS server w/ SQL 2000, I want to run Sharepoint and the Companyweb site from SQL Instead of MSDE. Is this Possible? I found information for running Sharepoint on just a 2003 server from SQL but I have yet to see anything about it in a SBS enviroment.

Yes this is possible. I assume you want to be able to use full text search.

1) Upgrade the SharePoint named instance of SQL to full SQL Server 2000..
be sure that you install/add Full-Text Search.. (listed in the steps in the
premiuminstallsteps.htm on the Premium cd)
2) Once the SQL Server named instance is upgraded and service packed, then
go to Start/Administrative Tools/SharePoint Central Administration scroll
down to the Component Configuration section and click on the Configure
full-text search link. Then click the checkbox to enable full-text search
and index component..

Once that is done if you then go back to the companyweb site then you
should see a text box in the upper right corner of the page (with a
magnifying glass icon to the left.. ) to enter your search criteria.

I hope you find this post helpful.
