Moss 2007 VHD

Posted on June 26th, 2007 in Technology, Work by Jim Prince

OfficeThis morning I spotted that Microsoft have released a pre-configured SharePoint 2007 VHD image. I’m sure that this will be really useful over the coming months as I’m currently involved in a huge SharePoint 2003 to MOSS 2007 migration.

You can obtain the VHD image from here.

It contains the following software

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
  • Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005
  • Microsoft Office Professional 2007
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
  • Microsoft .net Framework 2.0
  • Microsoft .net Framework 3.0

In order to use the image you’ll need to download Microsoft Virtual Server. Microsoft has recently made Virtual Server a free download which you can obtain from here.

I still prefer VMWare Workstation, but Virtual Server is an excellent (not to mention free!) alternative.
