Doing a scripted install of MOSS can save a lot of time, and can also ensure that your installs are consistent.
Below is a sample scripted install of MOSS. (I have changed sensitive information like passwords, emails and URLS.)
I have found that it works best to execute these commands one at a time, rather than as a single script. If you are unlike me and never make mistakes, then feel free to run them all at once. Another added benefit is that this provides very nice documentation of your install for future posterity. And for someone who understands windows scripts can teach quite effectively what it takes to install MOSS, surely much more effectively than the beastly 30 page install instructions on MSDN.
One of my favorite benefits of a scripted install is that you can choose a name for the Central admin content database instead of getting stuck with the ugly content database name the includes a Guid. Some of the setproperty statements at the end are optional, but they give you an idea of how you can customize this script to make sure the same policies are applied across environments.
Credit for these scripts go to Ben Curry.
