[dba-SQLServer] OT SharePoint

Thank you, Steve, Eric and Martin for the information... So is it just a
document manager? I guess it would be great for a lawyers', accounts' or
even a government office. 

Is the app installed automatically, just has to be located and initialized
or is it sitting on the Server 2003 installation disks? Is it fairly
intuitive or does it require a great deal of preparation. Is the MOSS a
client app for desktop stations? Can a ordinary browser use it? Is it fairly
straight forward to setup clients? If I decide to play is there any 'gochas'
to look out for? 

TIA
Jim

I have just moved job to oversee the deployment of a 29,000 user MOSS
install. First 300 user site goes live July. Out of the box it provides
great features. With some programming even more. I am lucky as I have been
paired iwth one of the best programmers in the University for this.
 
We are initially using it to drive almost all of our administrative
functions. Document sharing, communications etc
 
Its early days and it does have issues once you get beyond the user
interface but it is very good. The searching ability it has to search MOSS
sites, Exchange and file shares etc is really useful to us.
