Windows 7 is finally here and Microsoft intended it to be intuitive and simple to use and hopes to remedy past OS problems related to security, reliability and stability .  In an attempt to meet the needs of the many different types of computer users, Windows 7 will be released in six versions.

Versions of Windows 7

• Starter- is for PCs with limited hardware capabilities (netbooks, lower end laptops and workstations).  Users are limited to using a maximum of three simultaneously running programs at a time.
• Home Premium- offers enhanced Windows navigation, improved taskbars and jumplists, live thumbnail previews, Mobility Center for smart phone users, Aero Glass—a new way to view folders, enhancements to Windows Media Center and Media Streaming, and the ability to simultaneously run an unlimited number of applications.
• Home Basic- is a scaled down version of Home Premium that is intended for the overseas market.  This version has been modified to run on PCs with smaller processers.
• Professional- includes all the features of Home Premium as well as providing simple and secure server networking, advanced network backup, file and folder encryption, and location-aware printing to help your PC find the correct printer, regardless of location.
• Enterprise- is similar to Professional but is intended for large corporate customers that are business volume-licensed. In addition to the features offered in Professional, it also includes enhanced security features such as Bitlocker data protection and advanced management capabilities.
• Ultimate- provides home users all the features of the Enterprise version but doesn’t require a volume license.  Unfortunately, this version will have only limited availability through occasional promotional deals.

This is the default behavior of Exchange 2007 to avoid SPAM.

To change this behavior open the Exchange Management Console an navigate to the affected distribution group. Open the Settings for this group and switch to the tab “Mail Flow Settings“. On this tab mark “Message delivery restrictions” and select “Properties“.

In the new Window ensure that the checkbox “Require that all senders are authenticated” is not selected.

2) run openoffice once before installing it as a service

3) Download and install windows 2003 resource kit from microsoft website.

4) Create a service account and give it log on as a service rights ( i used openoffice as service account name)

4) Create a service named OpenOfficeUnoServer to do so run the following command

“C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Instsrv.exe” OpenOfficeUnoServer “C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Srvany.exe”

5) Go to services snap in and change the log on account with the account you created in step 4.

5)  Open registry and configure the values as shown in the screen shot shown below:

Create parameters key and make sure the values match as shown below. You have to create Application and AppParameters REG_SZ values.

6) Start Service

7) Open command prompt and change directory to c:\program files\openoffice.org 3\program

Run the following command

soffice -accept=”socket,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager”

Run netstat -anp tcp

This should show a listening on port 8100.Chances are that the service will only listen on the 127.0.0.1 interface; this means you can only connect from the same machine and it’s good from a security point of view. However, if you want to be able to connect from other machines as well you need to change the accept string to "socket,host=0.0.0.0,port=8100;urp;" in the AppParameters registry value

1. 1. Start Exchange System Manager. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
   2. Expand Servers, expand the server that you want, expand the storage group that you want (for example, expand First Storage Group), and then expand Mailbox Store.
   3. Right-click Mailbox Store, and then click Properties.
   4. Click the Security tab, and then click the user account whose permissions you want to verify.
   5. In the Permissions list, click to select the Receive As check box in the Allow column, click to select the Send As check box in the Allow column, and then click OK.
   6. If the user account is a member of a group (domain administrators or enterprise administrators), this group must also have send as and receive as rights to the mailbox store.
2. Verify that the user account under which you run the Exchange Mailbox Merge program has delegation authority at the Organization level in Exchange System Manager. To do this, follow these steps:

.         In Exchange System Manager, right-click the organization (for example, right-click First Organization (Exchange)), and then click Delegate control. The Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard starts.

1. 1. Click Next.
   2. If the user account under which you run the Exchange Mailbox Merge program is not listed in the Users and groups box, and if it does not have the role of Exchange Full Administrator, click Next, add this user account with the role of Exchange Full Administrator, and then click OK.
   3. Click Next, and then click Finish.
2. Quit Exchange System Manager.
3. Restart the Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) Admin Service. To do this, follow these steps.NOTE: This restarts the Exchange Information Store service.

.         Click Start, click Run, type services.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.

clients accessing their mailboxes. It is used to automatically set up accounts in

Outlook profiles. It is also used to determine which Client Access Server a remote

client should use based on where their mailbox server is located for optimal

performance.

• Availability Automatic load balancing of inbound and outbound connections

between Hub Transport Servers within an Active Directory site.

• Built on Active Directory The routing topology for Exchange Server 2007 servers

is based on the Active Directory site topology. It no longer requires the creation of

routing groups to control mail flow.

• Development A new set of web services to access mailbox content on Exchange

Mailbox Servers via HTML extends developers’ capabilities.

• Exchange Management Console Replacement tool for the Exchange System

Manager (ESM). The Exchange Management Console (EMC) is based on Microsoft

Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and combines all of the Exchange management

tasks into a single graphical interface. That means no more jumping between the

ESM and Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) to get Exchange

administrative tasks done.

• Exchange Management Shell A new command-line interface (CLI) from Microsoft

built on the PowerShell technology for advanced administrative tasks that cannot be

performed or automated in the Exchange Management Console.

• High availability for Mailbox servers Transaction Log Shipping is now available

for Mailbox Server roles in two flavors: Local Continuous Replication (LCR) and

Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR). Each creates a second copy of the production

database for rapid recovery scenarios. LCR stores the copy on the local server. CCR

stores the copy on another server. The Single Copy Cluster (SCC) is the latest

implementation for the traditional Exchange Microsoft Cluster Service.

• Message conversion The Hub Transport Server role has the ability to analyze the

formatting and encoding of messages and, based on the originator and recipient of

the message, make the necessary conversion to prevent formatting errors.

• Minimization of mail traffic Within an organization, least-hop routing is used to

determine the best path to a recipient’s mailbox. This has a greater potential of

reducing traffic than least-cost routing, which is subject to arbitrary administrative

constraints. Hub Transport Servers are responsible for determining the least-hop

route between Active Directory sites.

Performance improvements Exchange Server 2007 is a native 64-bit application.

Sixty-four-bit computing benefits are visible in the increased memory cache size,

increased number of storage groups, and increased number of information stores

per server.

• Recipient resolution It has always been possible to designate an expansion server

for a Distribution List. This is not as critical to do now that the Hub Transport

Servers are site-aware and will use the directory servers that are within the same

site for expanding distribution lists.

• Unified messaging For many years unified messaging has been available for

Exchange Server from third-party vendors. This technology, which integrates voice

messaging, faxing, and e-mail, has also been price-prohibitive for many small- and

medium-size businesses. By including unified messaging with Exchange Server

2007, all Exchange organizations can begin to take advantage of this powerful

productivity tool.
