I installed Windows SharePoint Services, but I can't extend a
virtual server
- Is your file system formatted with FAT instead of
NTFS? If you installed Windows SharePoint Services
to a disk drive formatted with the FAT file system, your default
virtual server might not be extended. On the Microsoft Windows
platform, the security features of Windows SharePoint Services
require the NTFS file system. Microsoft Windows Server 2003
includes a conversion utility (Convert.exe) that you can use to
convert an existing file allocation table (FAT) volume to NTFS
without losing data. For more information, see Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
- Does the virtual server exist in Internet Information
Services? Before you can extend a new virtual
server with Windows SharePoint Services, you must create the
virtual server by using the Internet Services Manager in Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 or later. See Windows Server 2003 online for
more information.
Note To perform these
steps, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on
the server running Windows SharePoint Services.
