How to install SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Project Server 2003 on the same server (840701)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Project Server 2003
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services

SUMMARY

Although installing the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section on the same server may be a good testing environment, we do not recommend this practice if a company is going to use these services to their fullest capacity.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is very CPU intensive with its crawling and indexing functions. Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 is just as intensive for its publishing and VWnotify services.

Note Running these services at the same time on the same server may create conflicts. For example, some of the conflicts that may occur include:

  • Excessive memory usage
  • Excessive paging to the hard disk drive
  • Service performance degradation
  • One service delaying the start of the other service
