WSS 3 multi-server without Active Directory

Has anybody personally install WSS 3 on two servers (one web, one sql)
without the use of Active Directory? I have tried before in the past
but I was unsuccessful. I had made sure that the user account that
was being used for SQL authentication was the same name and the same
password, but the install wouldn't work.

Is there any way to get this to work? Any documentation or hints
would be very much appreciated.

Hi Will,
use this script to create the database in SQL server when server is not
beinga member of a domain.

stsadm.exe -o setconfigdb -databaseserver DBSERVER -databaseuser
USERNAME -databasepassword PASSWORD -databasename DBNAME -farmuser
LOCAL_SQLUSER -farmpassword LOCAL_SQLPASSWORD

The user you use as databaseuser must have rights to create databases.

Then when you run the sharepoint technology and configuration wizard it
looks a little different.

Did you add the extension to the file located under:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML

if not.. try downlod ICPDF.GIF from the web and add an entry to that file
like this:

<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif" />

to DOCICON.XML

Don't forget to add pdf as an extension and then run an IISReset.

Hope this helps you..
