This post will contain links to all the other posts in this series, so that I don’t have to copy/paste them in every post.

1. Start with a Windows 2k3 – R2 – SP2 plain vanilla machine and promote it to a Domain Controller – dotnetscraps.com
2. Create a machine WFE1, join it to dotnetscraps domain. Install IIS, SMTP and .NET 2.0
3. Make two more copies of WFE1 called AS and WFE2. Join them in the same domain
4. Enable Network Load Balancing between WFE1 and WFE2 and ensure it works for IIS Default Web Site
5. Install SharePoint binaries on all the machines AS, WFE1 and WFE2 along with Microsoft Office 2007 and SQL
6. Create accounts required for SharePoint in order to make it talk to the SQL Server and other Administrative tasks
7. Create a SharePoint farm using Post Setup Configuration Utility
8. Upgrade an existing farm to SP2 and latest CU (June CU)
