                      Computers
This lab uses three virtual machines performing the following roles:
   3370A-3374A-SEA-DC1
   • Domain controller
   • Exchange server
   3370A-3374A-SEA-SRV1
   • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Web front-end and application server
   • Database server
   3370A-3374A-SEA-CL1
   • 2007 Microsoft Office system client

Estimated time to complete this lab: 90 minutes



Virtual Lab Console
This lab makes use of the Microsoft Virtual Lab Program, an application that allows you to run
multiple virtual machines online. During the lab, you will switch between different windows, each
containing a separate virtual machine running Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 or Microsoft
Windows® XP.
Before you start the lab, familiarize yourself with the following basics of the Virtual Lab Console:
   To switch the focus for your mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine, click inside the virtual
   machine window.
   To remove the focus from a virtual machine, move the mouse pointer outside the virtual machine
   window.
   To issue the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keyboard combination inside a virtual machine,
   use RIGHT-ALT+DELETE instead. Virtual PC designates the RIGHT-ALT key as the Host key.
   Select the machine you wish to perform tasks on by selecting it in “My Machines”


To Start the Lab
Before you can perform any of the lab exercises, you must log on to the computer. If an error
message warns you that the disk’s parent appears to have been modified, click OK to continue. This
error message appears when you move Virtual PC images between computers with different time-
zone settings.


       Note These demonstrations have been developed using beta software. If a specific task results
       in an error message or a time-out screen, try performing the task again. The task will most
       likely be completed successfully at the second attempt.

                            Exercise 1: Using Business Data Catalog
    Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes Business Data Catalog to integrate business data into
    SharePoint sites. After you configure the connection to your application, you can display and
    interact with business data from line-of-business applications. In this exercise, you configure an
    application, use Web Parts to view business data, and learn how to search business data.


    Task 1-1: Configuring an Application
    Business Data Catalog applications define how Business Data Catalog connects to the business data
    and how the business data is structured. In this task, you will learn how to configure the application.

                             Exercise 2: Using Forms Server
    Collecting and processing paper-based forms is difficult and time consuming. Forms Server lets
    you collect form information electronically. This makes data collection faster, easier, and more
    accurate. Browser-enabled forms extend the reach of your electronic data collection beyond the
    wall of your organization and out onto the Internet. In this exercise, you create, deploy, and access a
    Web-enabled form.


    Task 2-1: Creating a Form
    All forms are created in the Microsoft Office InfoPath® client. In this task, you create a form and
    ensure that it is compatible with browser formatting.

                               Exercise 3: Publishing an Excel Spreadsheet
     Excel Services allows you to perform spreadsheet calculations on a server and interact with
     spreadsheets through a Web browser. This lets users remotely access spreadsheets from anywhere
     they have Internet access. In addition, you can secure spreadsheets used by Office Excel 2007
     clients. In this exercise, you configure a file-trusted location, publish a spreadsheet, and view that
     spreadsheet in a Web browser.


     Task 3-1: Configuring a Trusted Location
     Excel Services requires files to be published in a file-trusted location. By default, no locations are
     trusted locations. You must configure trusted locations. In this task, you create a file-trusted
     location.

                        Exercise 4: Using Report Center
Office SharePoint Server 2007 uses Report Center as a hub for business intelligence. You can build
reports that display the status of key performance indicators (KPIs). You can also filter Web Parts
to vary the data displayed based on a wide variety of criteria such as regional statistics. In this
exercise, you create a report and filter a Web Part.


Task 4-1: Creating a Report
Reports allow you to create a list of key performance indicators and track them over time. You can
also view the status of those key performance indicators. In this task, you build a report.

Before you start the lab, familiarize yourself with the following basics of the Virtual Lab Console: To switch the focus for your mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine, click inside the virtual machine window. To remove the focus from a virtual machine, move the mouse pointer outside the virtual machine window. To issue the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keyboard combination inside a virtual machine, use RIGHT-ALT+DELETE instead. Virtual PC designates the RIGHT-ALT key as the Host key. Select the machine you wish to perform tasks on by selecting it in “My Machines” To Start the Lab Before you can perform any of the lab exercises, you must log on to the computer. If an error message warns you that the disk’s parent appears to have been modified, click OK to continue. This error message appears when you move Virtual PC images between computers with different time- zone settings. Note These demonstrations have been developed using beta software.
