Fix for the corrupted Virtual Machine on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Technical Resources DVD
As an added bonus for the nearly 14,000 TechEd attendees this past week in Orlando, a copy of the updated MOSS 2007 Technical Resources DVD was placed in every attendee's conference bag. The DVD contains the following frequently requested content:
- Presentation slidedecks from the SharePoint Conference 2006, Project Conference 2006, and SharePoint Conference 2007 EMEA
- RTM versions of the WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 SDKs
- Top 17 MOSS 2007 case studies
- TechNet articles and white papers on upgrading from WSS 2.0 and SPS 2003 to WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007
- MSDN content on migrating from Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 to MOSS 2007
- ForeFront Security for SharePoint content
- Updated links to SharePoint oriented online resources such as the MSDN Dev Centers, TechNet Tech Centers, and the SharePoint Community Portal
- And much more...
In addition to the content, the DVD contains a fully working Virtual Machine that has been pre-installed with evaluation versions of Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, MOSS 2007, SharePoint Designer 2007, and Office Professional Plus 2007. Unfortunately, due to a rare duplication error, a large batch of the DVDs had one corrupted file that affected the installation of the VM on a host machine. The replacement file and detailed instructions on how to fix the problem are available at https://connect.microsoft.com/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?SiteID=428&DownloadID=7004. If you have any further problems with or questions about the DVD, please leave a comment.
The DVD will likely be updated with more content such as the slidedecks and podcasts from the SharePoint Conference 2007 APAC and distributed to attendees of the upoming SharePoint Connections conference in Las Vegas and the TechEd Europe conference in Barcelona later this year, so if you're planning to attend either of those events, you now have one more thing to look forward to!
