Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Pro - Exchange Server Add-In

Although Exchange Management tools are invaluable for managing, monitoring and administer networks, computers, services, and other system components it does not provide a graphical view of user mailbox details. Administrators have to sift through a tree view to view the members of the Distribution Group in an organizational unit and use embedded data to figure out the details.
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) hosts administrative tools that you can use to administer networks, computers, services, and other system components. Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell are used to administer and configure specific settings for Mailbox servers and create and manage Mailbox objects. The Mailbox server role hosts mailbox databases, which contain users’ mailboxes. If you plan to host user mailboxes or public folders, or both, the Mailbox server role is required.
This Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 Professional Add-In makes it easy for Exchange administrators to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Instead of viewing single user data, administrators can create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data at a glance and dramatically increase productivity. You can diagram a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 site topology, including sites, servers, and connections for an organization.

Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1 Now Available!

Today, we are pleased to announce the release of Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1!

With this new Service Pack, enhancements have been made to the monitoring, analysing and planning functionality found in PerformancePoint Server to  help customers improve decision making.  Usability, stability and performance enhancements are key focus areas for PerformancePoint Server SP1.   With this Service Pack, customers will be able to take advantage of new workbook options for improved performance of queries, as well as see the effects of changes in planning assignments for better “what-if” analysis.

Customers using strategy maps and KPI’s for monitoring and analytics will see improvements to scorecard and filter usability.  Scorecards with negative numbers have improved formatting and are easier to read, while dashboards with filters are now faster to render and provide the ability to link reports directly to KPI’s. There are also improvements to Tabular filters and Time Intelligence Post Formula filters.

In addition, SP1 adds certified support for Windows Server 2008.  Support for SQL Server 2008 will be available later this year following the release of SQL Server 2008.

For more information about what’s available in SP1, please check the online help:

Language Interface Packs for Office 2007 are available for Basque, Galician, Malay, Bengali

We talked about the Tatar Language Interface Pack (LIP) for Office 2007 a few weeks ago. Since then, other LIPs for Office 2007 have been released. LIPs enable users to work in a localized environment and traditionally include a spell-checker for that language. So if you are looking for spellers for Basque (700,000 speakers), Galician (3 million speakers), Malay (7 million speakers), or Bengali (released last week, 230 million speakers), or if you want to see your UI in one of these languages, check out the Microsoft Local Language Program web site or click on the name of the language in this sentence to freely download the corresponding LIP with its speller.
