Dear Friends I am new to SharePoint please guide me to know about central administration. Few days back I installed Windows SharePoint Services in my system. After installation, there is one more central administration site for windows SharePoint Services was created in my IIS apart from Central Administration site v3. So my doubt is what is the difference between these two sites. And when we use Central Administration site v3 and when we use the central administration site for windows SharePoint services. Thanks in advance

There should only be one Central Admin site on the server. Did you install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server before you installed WSS? If so, then that is how you got two copies of Central Admin. Since MOSS includes WSS you should only install one of these, not both.Paul Stork SharePoint Server MVP
