Gmail drops the annoying “On Behalf of”

I’ve shown you how to setup your Gmail account to be your central email hub, but when sending email as another account Gmail used to add “On Behalf of” to the From address – showing your real Gmail address or alias.  Well, Gmail has taken that crap away thank goodness!

Yes, this is for Google Apps users too!

DPM 2007 SP1 Virtual Labs from Microsoft

TechNet has released 3 Virtual Labs (vLabs) on DPM 2007 SP1.    Much like other labs from Microsoft, you can get your hands dirty in minutes in a full fledged lab environment, instead of building out for hours on your own.  You can go through the student manual – or just play with the features that you want to learn about.  At the end of your time (About 3 hours), the lab reset back (yes, there is a clock in the window).

There are 3 virtual labs for you, and TechNet is promising more soon:

Technical Introduction to DPM 2007 SP1 – a good basic start, with protection and recovery of Exchange 2007 and SQL Server 2005

How to protect SQL Server with DPM 2007 SP1 – more focused on deeper scenarios, including some data migration from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008

How to protect SharePoint with DPM 2007 SP1 – here is your chance to see whole farm protection, with single item restore – nuff said!

How to protect Exchange with DPM 2007 SP1 – is coming, look for it in May

This is a great way to get started with DPM, and to simulate some scenarios without messing up your production environment.  Have fun!

SharePoint Designer 2007 – Now Free!

image

Previously known as "FrontPage", Microsoft’s SharePoint Designer2007 software makes working with SharePoint Server very easy. SharePoint Server allows employees to collaborate on information within their organization. The more employees using SharePoint Designer 2007 to share information — the better!

The problem was, you needed a separate SharePoint Designer 2007 license for each person. This would be the equivalent of having an Exchange Server, and only a few people using Microsoft Outlook! So Microsoft’s solution? You can now freely download SharePoint Designer 2007.

Why is Microsoft doing it? We believe that these changes will help you enable more users in your organization to create customizations that increase the value of your investments in SharePoint products and technologies now and in the future.

–> Download SharePoint Designer 2007
