Let me be the first to declare, officially, if prematurely, “The file server is dead!” With the release of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft delivers simple, secure, and effective support for collaboration, knowledge management, and business processes.

To understand and implement SharePoint Services 3.0 and get a feel for some of its key new features, let's create an intranet home page and a SharePoint site for the IT department of a fictional company, Windomain.com. You'll see why I believe the grim reaper is a-knockin' on your shared folders' doors.

I am still looking all over the web for any documentation on how to configure Sharepoint services 3.0 on a Stand-Alone setup using SQL database. Can you give me any links to any documention on this?

Bikerdjw: Thanks for your comments. Your suggestion for an article about configuring SharePoint to use a SQL Sever database is a good one. We may be already planning an article on this topic, but if not I'll find someone to write that article : - )

UConnBob and FBoyd: I've relayed your comments to Dan; hopefully he can provide a link to the article he mentioned and also any helpful Office-related sites.

Not being familiar with SQL or Sharepoint, it would be useful to know how to configure Sharepoint to use a SQL database. The Microsoft documentation on this seems to be light.
Otherwise, a very useful article

Is there perhaps, an alternate reference that has similar information?

I also apologize for the mistake with the site name. The new site will be http://www.mymsofficepro.com. We'll keep readers posted on when it will be live. Thanks for reading!

Greetings, all!

1) Office 2007 is the "Microsoft" way to take docs offline, however there are third party apps as well. Either way, you're looking at a fee. Of course, a user CAN always use the web interface to simply "download" the document, then upload when finished. Not quite the same thing as true offline use, but free.

2) Unfortunately, the MyOfficePro.com web site is delayed and will launch in the March timeframe. If we have the ability to get the article created prior to that, I will post a link here on these comments. We apologize for that!!

This is a really good article, but I was a bit frustrated trying to locate a referenced site for additional information. Do you have a archive copy of the “Windows SharePoint Services, an out-of-box learning experience” article? It seems that MyOfficePro.com no longer exists.

Dan,

Excellent article. It appears that WSS 3.0 only supports offline use with Office 2007 (and maybe with Groove?) Is there another way to take documents offline?

Thanks.
