Step1. Start Office SharePoint Server Search and Windows SharePoint Services Help Search in the Operations tab of the central admin

Step2 . We can Either create the SSP through central admin as well as through the stsadm command
Here I am using the stsadm command to create the ssp.
For Creating an SSP We need one top level site and a my site.
The following are the commands to create top level sites. Here I am using top level sites for both my site and the site for SSP.

For SSP
stsadm.exe -o extendvs -url http://sysname:8080/ -ownerlogin domain\username -owneremail name@comp.com -exclusivelyusentlm -databaseserver dbservername -databasename databasename -donotcreatesite -apcreatenew -apidname Mysite_sam_ssp_apppool -apidtype configurableid -apidlogin domain\username -apidpwd *****

For My Site

stsadm.exe -o extendvs -url http://sysname:8081/ -ownerlogin domain\username -owneremail name@comp.com -exclusivelyusentlm -databaseserver dbservername -databasename databasename -donotcreatesite -apcreatenew -apidname Mysite_sam_ssp_apppool -apidtype configurableid -apidlogin domain\username -apidpwd *****
