WSS 3.0 Installation

I recently installed WSS 3.0 on my laptop that is running Server 2008. By default the installation installed the databases in Windows Internal Database which is not what I wanted. I want the tables running SQL Server 2008 instance and I want them named WSS_Config and WSS_AdminContent. Here's how to do it.

1. If you have not done so already, add C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin to the path System Variable. This is a must if you plan to work with SharePoint.
   
2. run psconfig.exe -cmd configdb -create -server SQLServerInstanceName -database WSS_Config -admincontentdatabase WSS_AdminContent
3. Administrative Tools ---> SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard

After this completes goto Administrative Tools ----> SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration to create a new site or upgrade an existing web app.
