SharePoint 2007 Supported On Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Yes, we can install MOSS 2007 on Windows 2008 R2 but we must integrate the SP2 of MOSS 2007 on the source media to use.

Firstly we download all the resources :

1. Microsoft Office Servers Service Pack 2   
2. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2

NB: you have to download the x86 and x64 binaries 

Copy the RTM sources of SharePoint 2007 to a writable disk and than extract the SP2 of MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 on the folder named Updates of the MOSS binaries.

1. Create a folder MOSSWithSP2 on C:
2. Copy the MOSS 2007 RTM binaries to C:\MOSSWithSP2
3. Extract the WSS 3.0 SP2 x86 on the folder C:\MOSSWithSP2\x86\Updates ==> 

wssv3sp2-kb953338-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:”C:\MOSSWithSP2\x86\Updates

 

4. Extract the WSS 3.0 SP2 x64 on the folder C:\MOSSWithSP2\x64\Updates ==>  

wssv3sp2-kb953338-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:”C:\MOSSWithSP2\x64\Updates

 

5. Extract the MOSS 2007 SP2 x86 on the folder C:\MOSSWithSP2\x86\Updates ==> 

officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:”C:\MOSSWithSP2\x86\Updates”

 

6. Extract the MOSS 2007 SP2 x64 on the folder C:\MOSSWithSP2\x64\Updates ==> 

officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:”C:\MOSSWithSP2\x64\Updates”

7. Delete the file wsssetup.dll from C:\MOSSWithSP2\x64\Updates and from C:\MOSSWithSP2\x86\Updates

Now you can use the folder MOSSWithSP2 as installation source to implement MOSS 2007 on Windows 2008 R2.
