When you install SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft®, you can use command-line options to control how it is installed. For example, to install SharePoint Team Service to work with a remote installation of Microsoft SQL Server™, you run Setupse.exe with the /nd option to avoid installing MSDE with SharePoint Team Services. Then, after the installation, you can specify the SQL Server connection information and extend your servers. The following table lists and explains the options you can use with the command-line Setup program (Setupse.exe) for SharePoint Team Services.
