Installing Office "12" Server on a Single Machine
For all the Office "12" Beta testers out there who want to build a nice demo VPC image to show off all the new features: Martin has written a nice step-by-step guide.
Installing Office Server “12” Beta 1 on a single machine (either physical or virtual) is not entirely straight forward and having done it many times, there is a specific process that I go through which always works. In this article, I’ll share what works for me – hopefully it will work for you too!

This guide will not necessarily observe best practices with regard to security etc. For production setups, you should seek guidance from the official Microsoft documentation (on Betaplace).
