Have you had trouble creating a root site after installing MOSS 2007 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2? Suprisingly i have. My implementation required i setup on Windows Server 2008 R2. The first issue i had to deal with was to upgrade MOSS 2007 realease 1 to release 2 (or what is commonly refered to as slipstream) since MOSS 2007 R1 could not be installed on 2008 Server R2. Refer to http://insomniacgeek.com/blog/how-to-install-moss-on-windows-server-2008-r2/ . The real surprise comes after successfully installing MOSS and you try to create a Sharepoint root site collection. Bang!!! you see a WSS 3.0 site.
I tried googling to confirm if this is a known bug with no much success. I eventually went for the jugular and created a site collection the old way. STSADM. Voolaaa!!! it worked. The root site collection was up and running in no time.
A sample command you can use is :
stsadm -o createsite -url "http://mysite/test" -owneremail "myemail@yahoo.com" -ownername "testdomain\real" -ownerlogin "testdomain\real" -title "Home" -description "A test site"
Remember to change the directory on the command prompt to locate your stsadm.exe.
Have fun!!!
