Move from Standalone install to web only MOSS 2007

Question

I am trying to convert our MOSS 2007 installation from standalone to web only so that I can move our content databases from the Windows internal database to SQL Server 2008 R2. I see a question similar to what I want, except that one is for SharePoint 2010.

Answer 1

All of what you see in that answer generally applies to 2007, as well. You'll build a new farm, restore the SSP (if applicable), restore any settings in Central Admin, create your Web App(s), restore the content databases.
