Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server Requirements

Looking at what you’re going to need to run SharePoint, its nothing too scary. You’ll need to install SharePoint on a Windows 2000 Server box, but you don’t have to have implemented Active Directory yet and SharePoint will work quite happily as part of an NT domain. The product will work with either Exchange 2000 or Exchange 5.5, but you don’t need to have Exchange to benefit from SharePoint. The hardware requirements aren’t too major either, but you should budget for a fair amount of hard disk proportional to the size of your network storage. Installation is easy, it only takes half an hour or so but then obviously you’ll need to plan first and spend lots of time configuring the portal once its installed.

On the client PCs the requirements shouldn’t present too many problems, SharePoint is designed to work with what you already have – Windows 98, 2000 or NT, Office 2000 or XP, a reasonable spec desktop and a browser is all you need.
