To transform Windows Server 2008 in a Workstation (to directly develop on MOSS 2007)

Hello, Few days ago I changed my professional notebook/laptop for a real “working” machine. Working on advanced MOSS 2007 projects, setting up directly MOSS on my host OS is nice, so did I. Windows Server 2008 Standard RC1 EN, bytes from MSDN, looks like the best candidate for this. Once setup (it’s Vista “like” setup screens), the OS runs smoothly, and working pleasure is here. But, Windows Server 2008 is hardened compared to Windows Server 2003 R2 on security. Everything is here, but you need to dig in the OS to have them: ·        Having Windows Media Player or Photo Gallery: To have them available you’ll use the great new feature of Windows Server 2008.

This Just In: MAPI and Windows Server 2008 Now Get Along

The MAPI/CDO download package now works on Windows Server 2008 and Vista. The main blocker to getting this to work was the fact that in Windows Server 2008 and Vista, mapi32.dll was marked as a system file. Any attempt to replace it would be blocked or undone. Exchange's MAPI has always replaced mapi32.dll with it's own version, so it couldn't work on those operating systems. The fix is modify Exchange's MAPI to take advantage of the MAPI Stub Library mechanism. We moved Exchange's MAPI binaries out of system32/syswow64 and placed them under C:\Program Files\ExchangeMAPI ("Program Files (x86)" on a 64 bit machine). We also renamed Exchange's mapi32.dll binary. It's now called ExMAPI32.dll. Some notes. [lien] [EN]
