TechNet: Test Lab Guides

Test Lab Guides (TLGs) allow you to get valuable hands-on experience with new products and technologies using a pre-defined and tested methodology that results in a working configuration. When you use a TLG to create a test lab, instructions define what servers to create, how to configure the operating systems and system services, and how to install and configure any additional products or technologies.

A challenge in creating useful TLGs is to enable their reusability and extensibility. Because creating a test lab can represent a significant investment of time and resources, your ability to reuse and extend the work required to create test labs is important.

SharePoint 2007 and Exchange 2007 Integration with Active Directory Rights Management Services

We have these wonderful collaboration systems in SharePoint and Exchange but how do you secure content to prevent inappropriate dissemination or theft?

You may want “eyes only” for someone to view and possibly comment but not be able to print or cut and paste contents. I want to do this in SharePoint Libraries and Exchange emails.

I have found this interesting webcast and some links explaining AD RMS.
