Project Server 2007 beta 2 on single server without domain

[FaisalM]

Does Project Server 2007 beta 2 support single server installation without
domain?

AT hte URL below of Office Beta 2 site, it says:
"....The Standalone installation mode of Office Project Server 2007 is not
available for this Beta 2 release. ...."

Hi FaisalM,

At this moment is does not, altough you will make it through the
installation and most of the configuration progress, you will repeatedly
failon the final, provisioning a PWA site, step of the configuration.
Fot the PWA site you will need a domain user account.
You can however run the process within a domain, and aftwerwards change the
PWA administrator back to a local user.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Niels

Yes, thats what I figured out last month.

My suggestion to MS is to allow provisioning through local accounts as well.
Consider those clients who just want to host PS 2007 without the need of a
domain, just a single server, standalone box.

Think of how that reduces the number of licenses Microsoft gets to sell.<g>
I guess it's a matter of how high the marketing decision makers want to set
the bar for full-featured EPM. In this regard it seems that stand-alone
implementations will be feature limited. No matter where those lines are
drawn, let's not forget that Project Server remains both the first choice
tool for many and the low-cost alternative.
