Hi Greg, My apologies for the delay in response; I saw this question come in yesterday and I just didn't have time to appropriately respond.

Our environment is a MOSS where we have static department information but we also build web sites (WSS) for every capture project the team works on.

Hi Brandon, I personally prefer a virtual environment for developers. Each having their own sandbox will help reduce conflicts that arrise during development.

Here's the process to go through: Step 1: Ensure MOSS servers are configured correctly. Your MOSS server must be running: Windows Server 2003 SP2 Internet Explorer...
