Actually this should be installed on every machine including production if you are using host headers or alternate access mappings. I always use the second method. The only situation where I would use method one is when SharePoint external.

I will be documenting an entire farm install, this documentation will show you how to properly install a farm with no errors. That should help you.

indeed MOSS 2007 is a very powerful tool with all the features and functions but one thing i really hate about it is that most of the times it's asking for too much… just right during the installation there are lots of errors, error this, error that, error, error and error! and then after so many errors there you are with your MOSS 2007 and then you try to use some of its features and again there's the never ending error again… I don't know what with the Microsoft Corporation… even when passing documents again errors! i hate it!

Actually on my W7 64bit / MOSS 2007 development WS works only with the second method. On W2K8 (R2) server shows the same situation. I would only recommend this on development machines.

When I try it on my MOSS Server it does not work, I need to reboot for it to take effect. It never hurts to reboot, I would just do as the MS KB article says. :)

No need to reboot after setting DisableLoopbackCheck – the effect of setting that value in the registry is immediate – or at least appears to be on the 20 or so machines I've had to do that on so far…

Hi, I meant to write to you before about this, but thanks for posting it. This is exactly how I fixed my issue. I actually used the 2nd method.
