You can enhance your existing virtual servers to add SharePoint Team Services-based features such as Web document discussions, document libraries, and so on. This process is called extending a virtual server.

  2. In the row for that virtual server, click Extend.

  3. In the Administrator box, type the administrator name for the virtual server.

  4. If necessary, enter the collaboration database settings to use.

    How?

    1. In the Database area, in the Database Server box, type the name of the server that the database is stored on.

    2. In the Database Account Username box, type the administrator name for the database.

    3. In the Database Account Password box, type the administrator password for the database.

  5. In the Site Type area, select a site type.

  6. Click Submit.
